Effect of the Nature of Coke-Forming Species on the Crystallographic Characteristics and Catalytic Properties of Metal–Filamentous Carbon Catalysts in the Selective Hydrogenation of 1,3-Butadiene

The particle morphology and surface structure of nickel metal in metal–filamentous carbon catalysts were found to depend on the nature of coke-forming species used in the synthesis of catalysts. Metal carbonization with hydrocarbons that are characterized by high thermodynamic stability results in the formation of well-cut metal particles the surface of which is formed by (110) facets. Selective hydrogenation reactions of diene and acetylene hydrocarbons to olefins are typical of these catalysts. In the catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons with relatively low thermodynamic stability, metal particles become irregular in shape, and their surface is formed by (111) facets. In this case, the reactions of full hydrogenation of olefin, diene, and acetylene hydrocarbons to corresponding alkanes take place. These data are consistent with the found dependence of the catalytic properties of catalysts on the character of the exterior faceting of active metal particles.     

TAP studies of ammonia decomposition over Ru and Ir catalysts

The Temporal Analysis of Products (TAP) technique has been used to investigate the mechanism involved in the catalytic decomposition of NH(3) over a series of catalysts consisting of activated carbon supported Ru (promoted and non-promoted with Na) and over an activated carbon supported Ir. An extensive study of the role played by both the support and the promoter in the "side reactions" and in the stability and surface lifetime of the NH(x) species has been performed. It was suggested that the N(2) produced during the first steps of the reaction over the activated carbon supported Ru catalysts promoted with Na forms a Na-N-Ru complex at the promoter-transition metal crystallite interface. This study also suggests that the Na promoter prevents the diffusion of hydrogen from the metal to the support via spill-over. A similar effect was observed after the thermal treatment at high temperature of the carbon catalyst support. Finally large differences in multi-pulse TAP results have been detected between Ru and Ir catalysts implying that the NH(3) decomposition reaction mechanism must be different on both metals.     

Property and structure of various platinum catalysts for low-temperature carbon monoxide oxidations

The oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) has received more attention in the last two to three decades owing to its importance in different fields. To control this CO pollution, catalytic converters have been investigated. Different types of catalysts have been used in a catalytic converter for CO emission control purposes. Platinum (Pt)-based noble metal catalysts show great potential for CO oxidation in catalytic converters with high thermal stability and tailoring flexibility. Pt metal catalysts modified with promoters such as alkali metals and reducible metal oxides have received great attention for their superior catalytic activities in CO oxidation. Temperature, close environment of the catalyst, and chemical composition in the surface layer of the catalyst have a huge effect on the active phase dispersion and O₂ adsorption capacity of the Pt metal catalysts. The main difference in activities of Pt metal catalyst for CO oxidation in O₂ or H₂ atmosphere has found. The addition of supports in Pt metal catalysts has improved their performances and reduced their cost. These improvement strongly depends on the surface structure, morphology, number of active sites, and various Pt-O interactions. Many research articles have already been published in CO oxidation over Pt metal catalysts, but no review article dedicated to CO oxidation is available in the literature.     

In-Cu/SiO2催化剂用于醋酸甲酯加氢反应制乙醇

工业上常用玉米生产乙醇,从而造成粮食和燃料的选择两难局面.随着页岩气研究的不断深入以及全球可观的煤炭存量,用醋酸甲酯加氢制乙醇已引起广泛关注.铜基催化剂对酯加氢生成醇有高的转化率和选择性,其中铜铬催化剂性能较高,但铬对人体和环境的潜在危害限制了其广泛应用.Cu/SiO2催化剂价格低廉,环境友好,但其稳定性较差,容易失活不利于工业上应用.因此人们对Cu/SiO2催化剂进行改性.本文采用氨蒸法制备了一系列掺杂不同量氧化铟(In2O3)的Cu催化剂(In-Cu/SiO2).采用X射线衍射(XRD)、氮气吸脱附、氢气程序升温脱附(H2-TPD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)以及电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP-OES)等手段对催化剂进行了表征,同时评价了催化剂的活性和稳定性.结果发现,In2O3的改性提高了Cu/SiO2催化剂在醋酸甲酯加氢制乙醇反应中的活性和稳定性; 其中当添加1%In2O3时,醋酸甲酯转化率从83.7%提高至97.8% (反应温度523 K,反应压力3 MPa,氢酯摩尔比15,液时空速2 h?1),且对液时空速的变化耐受性比较强.当液时空速大于3 h?1时,随着液时空速的增加,Cu/SiO2催化剂的活性和选择性急剧下降,而1In-Cu/SiO2催化剂变化相对较小.TEM和XRD结果表明,适量In2O3的掺入改善了Cu/SiO2催化剂活性组分的分散性,铜粒径变小;FT-IR和N2O化学吸附结果显示,In2O3的加入使得页硅酸铜含量增加,从而有效地抑制了催化剂还原过程中铜的聚合,因此催化剂性能提高.XPS结果表明,表面Cu0和Cu+活性位点之间的协同作用有助于改善催化剂性能.Cu/SiO2和1In-Cu/SiO2催化剂100 h的稳定性测试发现,Cu/SiO2催化剂的失活主要是由于活性组分颗粒尺寸聚集变大和表面Cu0和Cu+分布的破坏所致; 而1In-Cu/SiO2催化剂物化性质几乎保持不变,表明适量的In2O3可稳定Cu/SiO2催化剂,延长其使用寿命.由此推断,In2O3可能作为一种隔离剂以抑制铜纳米粒子的热迁移和聚集,从而有效地提高Cu/SiO2催化剂活性和稳定性.     

Supported heteropolyacids: Sytnhesis,characterization and effect of supports on esterification reactions

12-Tungstophosphoric acid supported onto silica was synthesized by impregnation.

Further, obtained results are compared with l2-tungstophosphoric acid supported onto zirconia in order to see effect of acidic nature of support on catalytic activity as well as thermal stability of the catalyst.

Restructuring and redispersion of silver on SiO2 under oxidizing/reducing atmospheres and its activity toward CO oxidation

The effects of oxygen-hydrogen pretreatments of nanosilver catalysts in cycle mode on the structure and particle size of silver particles, and subsequently the activity of the catalyst toward CO oxidation (or CO selective oxidation in the presence of H2), are reported in this paper. Ag/SiO2 catalyst with silver particle sizes of ca. 6 approximately 8 nm shows relatively high activity in the present reaction system. The adopting of a cycle of oxidation/reduction pretreatment has a marked influence on the activity of the catalyst. Oxygen pretreatment at 500 degrees C results in the formation of subsurface oxygen and activates the catalyst. As evidenced by in-situ XRD and TEM, the following H2 treatment at low temperatures (100 approximately 300 degrees C) causes surface faceting and redispersing of the silver particles without destroying the subsurface oxygen species. The subsequent in-situ FTIR and catalytic reaction results show that CO oxidation occurs at -75 degrees C and complete CO conversion can be obtained at 40 degrees C over such a nanosilver catalyst pretreated with oxygen at 500 degrees C followed by H2 at 100 degrees C. However, prolonged hydrogen treatment at high temperatures (>300 degrees C) after oxygen pretreatment at 500 degrees C induces the aggregation of silver particles and also depletes so much subsurface oxygen species that the pathway of CO oxidation by the subsurface oxygen species is inhibited. Meanwhile, the ability of the catalyst to adsorb reactants is greatly depressed, resulting in a 20 approximately 30% decrease in the activity toward CO oxidation. However, the activity of the catalyst pretreated with oxygen at 500 degrees C followed by hydrogen treatment at high temperatures (>300 degrees C) is still higher than that directly pretreated with H2. This kind of catalytic behavior of silver catalyst is associated with physical changes in the silver crystallites because of surface restructuring and crystallite redispersion during the course of oxygen-hydrogen pretreatment steps.

Promoting effect of group VI metals on Ni/MgO for catalytic growth of carbon nanotubes by ethylene chemical vapour deposition

The incorporation of 1 mass % of group VI metals (chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten) into 4 mass % of Ni/MgO catalysts was evaluated for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by the catalytic chemical vapour deposition of ethylene. All materials were characterised by XRD, surface area, TEM, SEM, Raman spectroscopy, and TGA-DTA. The resulting data demonstrated that the addition of group VI metals improved the surface area and metal dispersion, thereby achieving a remarkable enhancement in catalytic growth activity. Among the metals of group VI, Mo was found to be the most effective promoter for catalysing the CNTs’ growth. From TEM observation, long CNTs with a higher degree of graphitization were obtained on the Ni-Mo/MgO catalyst. TGA and DTA analysis showed that the as-grown CNTs over both Ni-Mo and Ni-W/MgO catalysts exhibited higher thermal stability.     

Catalytic Reaction Assisted by Plasma or Electric Field

Direct conversion of methane, other hydrocarbons, and alcohol at lower temperatures can be achieved using plasma or an electric field and catalysts. Non‐equilibrium plasma enables activation of stable molecules including methane, carbon dioxide, and water, even at low temperatures, by virtue of high electron energy. Use of a hybrid system of plasma and catalyst provided high conversion and selectivity to products by virtue of adsorption on the catalyst. Imposing a DC electric field to the catalyst bed also promotes catalytic reactions, even at low temperatures. Two mechanisms for electro‐catalytic reactions are proposed for the DC electric field imposition: reactant activation by surface protonics and production of active surface oxygen species on the catalyst. This review presents summaries of these novel processes.     

Hollow nanoshell-sphere Fe@Fe/Pd reactors: a magnetically recoverable catalyst for the C<Subscript>sp</Subscript>–S cross-coupling reactions in water

The hollow Pd–PVP–Fe nanosphere and Fe–PVP nanoparticle catalysts were synthesized by thermal method. Mixing of two metallic nanocatalysts was applied in the C_sp–S cross-coupling reactions between diphenyl disulfide and phenylacetylene under mild conditions in water. Results show that bi-catalytic system has higher catalytic efficiencies than their monocatalytic systems due to synergy between two catalysts. Order of adding two metallic catalysts were adjusted into the coupling reaction medium. Therefore, various bi-catalytic systems were obtained and characterized by XRD, SEM, EBSD, EDX, UV–Vis spectra, and particle size analyzer. Under special order of adding, the obtained hollow nanoshell-sphere Fe@Fe/Pd reactor showed higher catalytic activity in the coupling reaction compared to other bi-catalytic systems. The C_sp–S coupling products obtained of various diaryl disulfides and phenylacetylene at presence Fe@Fe/Pd (only 7.3?×?10^?5 mmol Pd) catalyst with moderate to high yields in water solvent and mild reaction conditions. After the reaction, the catalyst/product(s) separation could be easily achieved with an external magnet and more than 95% of catalyst could be recovered. The recovered catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, EBSD, EDX, and UV–Vis spectra. The Fe@Fe/Pd was reused at least six repeating cycles without any loss of its high catalytic activity. Tuning morphology and chemical composition of bi-catalytic system are key mainstays of high activity of Fe@Fe/Pd in repeating cycles of cross-coupling reactions.     

Unmodified Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanostructure promoted with external magnetic field: safe,magnetically recoverable,and efficient nanocatalyst for N- and C-alkylation reactions in green conditions

Transition metal compounds have emerged as suitable catalysts for organic reactions. Magnetic compounds as soft Lewis acids can be used as catalysts for organic reactions. In this report, the Fe₃O₄ nanostructures were obtained from Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺-salts, under an external magnetic field (EMF) without any protective agent. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy tools were used to characterize these magnetic compounds. The two-dimensional (2-D, it showed nanometric size in the two dimensions, nanorod structure) Fe₃O₄ compound showed high catalytic activity and stability in N- and C-alkylation reactions. A diverse range of N- and C-alkylation products were obtained in moderate to high yield under green and mild conditions in air. Also the N- and C-alkylation products can be obtained with different selectivity and yield by exposure reactions with EMF. Results of alkylation reactions showed that the presence of Fe(II) and Fe(III) species on the surface of magnetic catalysts (phase structure of magnetic compounds) are essential as very cheap active sites. Also, morphology of magnetic catalysts had influence on their catalytic performances. After the reaction, the catalyst/product(s) separation could be easily achieved with an external magnet and more than 95% of catalyst could be recovered. The catalyst was reused at least four times without any loss of its high catalytic activity for N- and C-alkylation reactions.

Recent Advances in Multifunctional Capsule Catalysts in Heterogeneous Catalysis?

Capsule catalysts composed of pre-shaped core catalysts and layer zeolites have been widely used in the tandem reactions where multiple continuous reactions are combined into one process. They show excellent catalytic performance in heterogeneous catalysis, including the direct synthesis of middle isoparaffins or dimethyl ether from syngas, as compared to the conventional hybrid catalysts. The present review highlights the recent development in the design of capsule catalysts and their catalytic applications in heterogeneous catalysis. The capsule catalyst preparation methods are introduced in detail, such as hydrothermal synthesis method, dual-layer method, physically adhesive method and single crystal crystallization method. Furthermore, several new applications of capsule catalysts in heterogeneous catalytic processes are presented such as in the direct synthesis of liquefied petroleum gas from syngas, the direct synthesis of para-xylene from syngas and methane dehydroaromatization. In addition, the development in the design of multifunctional capsule catalysts is discussed, which makes the capsule catalyst not just a simple combination of two different catalysts, but has some special functions such as changing the surface hydrophobic or acid properties of the core catalysts. Finally, the future perspectives of the design and applications of capsule catalysts in heterogeneous catalysis are provided.     

Recent Advances in Facile Liquid Phase Epoxidation of Light Olefins over Heterogeneous Molybdenum Catalysts

Molybdenum complexes are versatile and efficient for liquid phase olefin epoxidation reactions. Rational design of catalysts is critical to achieve high atom efficiency during epoxidation processes. Although liquid phase epoxidation has been a popular topic for decades, three key issues, (a) rational control of morphology of molybdenum nanoparticles, (b) manipulating metal‐support interaction and (c) altering electronic configuration at molybdenum center remains unsolved in this area. Therefore, in this paper, we have critically revised recent research progress on heterogeneous molybdenum catalysts for facile liquid phase olefin epoxidation in terms of catalyst synthesis, surface characterization, catalytic performance and structure‐function relationship. Furthermore, plausible reaction mechanisms will be systematically discussed with the aim to provide insights into fundamental understanding on novel epoxidation chemistry.

IB金属对Ni/SiO2催化剂乙炔选择性加氢反应性能的影响

乙烯是合成聚乙烯的原料,其主要来源是石油裂解气,其中少量的乙炔杂质会严重毒化生产聚乙烯的催化剂,因此需要将其去除.对于乙炔选择加氢反应,传统工业上使用的是Pd基催化剂,尽管其乙炔转化率很高,但对乙烯的选择性很低.我们前期的研究发现,IB族金属(Au,Ag和Cu)与Pd形成的合金单原子催化剂可以有效地提高乙烯的选择性.作为与Pd同组的非贵金属,Ni催化剂在多种催化加氢反应中显示出优异活性,而在乙炔选择加氢反应中,Ni是否能够替代贵金属Pd尚无定论.本文系统地研究了IB金属对Ni/SiO2催化剂乙炔选择性加氢性能的影响.与Pd/SiO2催化剂不同,单金属Ni/SiO2催化剂在低温下不具有活性.将IB金属添加到Ni/SiO2催化剂中,可以显著提高其催化活性以及对乙烯的选择性.其中,AuNix/SiO2和CuNix/SiO2催化剂的催化活性随还原温度升高而提高,而AgNix/SiO2催化剂对预处理温度不敏感.通过调变IB/Ni原子比和还原温度优化了催化剂的催化性能,发现优化后的三种催化剂(CuNi0.125/SiO2、AgNi0.5/SiO2和AuNi0.5/SiO2)的活性和选择性随反应温度升高表现出相似的变化趋势.催化稳定性考察结果显示,CuNi0.125/SiO2催化剂表现出最高选择性和稳定性;尽管AuNi0.5/SiO2的初始活性最高,但是稳定性最低.采用XRD、TPR和微量吸附量热等表征手段对不同IB金属对Ni基催化剂性质的影响进行了系统考察.以Cu-Nix/SiO2催化剂为例,H2-TPR测试结果表明,Cu-Ni双金属纳米颗粒的形成使得还原温度低于相应的单金属催化剂,表明铜和镍之间存在明显的相互作用.此外,通过TPR获得的CuNix/SiO2催化剂上的氢气消耗量与理论耗氢量相吻合,表明在还原处理的过程中双金属催化剂中的CuO和NiO可以被完全还原.乙炔的微量吸附量热结果表明,在CuNi0.125/SiO2,AgNi0.5/SiO2,AuNi0.5/SiO2和Ni0.5/SiO2催化剂上的初始吸附热分别为187,196,304和103 kJ/mol,即它们的初始乙炔吸附强度顺序为AuNi0.5/SiO2>AgNi0.5/SiO2>CuNi0.125/SiO2>Ni0.5/SiO2.该结果与三者的初始催化活性顺序一致,表明IB金属的加入可以增强乙炔在催化剂表面的吸附,从而提高催化活性.
