Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction in methanol catalyzed by mono-, di-, and electropolymerized phthalocyanine complexes

The electroreduction of CO₂ was studied in methanol in the presence of mono- and diphthalocyanine complexes and phthalocyanine films prepared by electrochemical anodic polymerization. Methyl formate is the main reaction product of the reaction catalyzed by the mono- and diphthalocyanine complexes of rare-earth metals. Copper 2,9,16,23-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine allows the transformation of CO₂ into methane in 30% yield. In the presence of both electropolymerized and graphite electrode-supported copper 2,9,16,23-tetraaminophthalocyanine, CO and methyl formate are the main reaction products.     

Synchronous activation of Ag nanoparticles and BiOBr for boosting solar-driven CO2 reduction

Artificial photosynthesis of valuable chemicals from CO₂ is a potential way to achieve sustainable carbon cycle. The CO₂ conversion activity is still inhibited by the sluggish charge kinetics and poor CO₂ activation. Herein, Ag nanoparticles coupled BiOBr have been constructed by in-situ photoreduction strategy. The crafting of interface between Ag nanoparticles and BiOBr nanosheets, achieving an ultra-fast charge transfer. The BiOBr semiconductor excited electrons and plasmonic Ag nanoparticles generated high-energy hot electrons synchronous accelerates the C=O double bond activation. Thus, the optimized Ag/BiOBr-2 heterostructure shows excellent CO₂ photoreduction activity with CO production of 133.75 and 6.83 µmol/g under 5 h of 300 W Xe lamp and visible light (λ > 400 nm) irradiation, which is 1.51 and 2.81 folds versus the pristine BiOBr, respectively. The mechanism of CO₂ photoreduction was in-depth understood through in-situ FT-IR spectrum and density functional theory calculations. This study provides some new perspectives into efficient photocatalytic CO₂ reduction.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 in methanol to methyl formate over CuO-TiO2 composite catalysts

Photocatalytic reduction of CO(2) on CuO-TiO(2) composite catalysts in the presence of methanol to prepare methyl formate had been investigated. Methanol was used as sacrificial reagent to react with the photo-generated holes in the valence band, and CO(2) was reduced by the electrons in the conduction band. CuO-TiO(2) was optimized for CuO loading, preparation method and calcination temperature. The catalyst of 1.0CuO-TiO(2), calcined at 450°C and CTAB as a dispersant showed the highest overall activity. The heterojunction between CuO and TiO(2) demonstrated with HRTEM played an important role in enhancing the photocatalytic activity.     

1,2-亚苯基二硫桥[FeFe]-氢化酶模拟物选择性光催化还原CO2至CO

利用基于非贵金属的分子催化剂通过光驱动催化CO2还原生成CO是将太阳能储存为化学能和缓解CO2温室效应的有效途径之一,具有重要的科学意义和潜在的应用前景.已报道的非贵金属分子催化剂,大多数对于光驱动CO2还原表现出缓慢的催化反应速率和/或对CO产物的低选择性,反应常常伴随着质子还原产氢反应,只有很少几种非贵金属分子催化剂对光催化CO2还原生成CO表现出高催化反应速率(>100 h?1)和高选择性.研究表明,双核过渡金属配合物由于分子中邻近的两个金属中心的协同催化作用,对于CO2还原生成CO的催化活性明显高于相应的单核配合物.因此,具有两个邻近的金属离子的非贵金属双核配合物有望作为CO2选择性还原的高效分子催化剂.我们最近的研究发现,具有刚性、共轭亚苯基二硫桥结构的[FeFe]-氢化酶模拟物[(μ-bdt)Fe2(CO)6](1,bdt=苯-1,2-二巯基)能够高活性、高选择性地光化学还原CO2至CO,而与其类似的模拟物[(μ-edt)Fe2(CO)6](2,edt=乙烷-1,2-巯基)则不具有光催化还原CO2活性,表明铁铁氢化酶模拟物中硫-硫桥的结构是影响模拟物的催化性能的重要结构因素之一.可见光照射1/[Ru(bpy)3]2+/BIH(BIH=1,3-二甲基-2-苯基-2,3-二氢-1H-苯并[d]-咪唑)体系4.5 h,1催化生成CO的循环数(TON)为710,在初始1 h的转化率(TOF)为7.12 min^-1,CO的选择性达到97%,内量子效率为2.8%.有趣的是,向体系中加入TEOA时可以调节1的催化选择性,光化学反应能够在CO2还原产生CO和质子还原产生H2之间进行切换.此外,采用稳态荧光和瞬态吸收光谱研究了光催化体系中的电子转移,提出可能的光催化反应机理.该研究结果揭示了刚性硫-硫桥结构的氢化酶模拟物对光化学CO2还原至CO的特殊催化活性,拓展了铁铁氢化酶模拟物的催化多功能性.

The substrate scope of this reaction is extended to both substituted allylstannanes and allylboranes.     

Studies of a photosynthetic photoelectrochemical cell using various electrodes

We have developed a photochemical cell using a combination of photosynthetic electron transport (photosystem I particles) and the photoreduction of a dye such as flavin mononucleotide (FMN) (6). The overall power conversion efficiency depends on the rate of charge transfer across the electrode surfaces in addition to the efficiency of the photosynthetic and photochemical reactions. For this reason, we studied the effect of varying the nature of the electrodes on the power developed. We found that reticulated vitreous carbon electrodes showed higher power conversion efficiencies than did nickel mesh, platinum, or SnO₂ glass. There are two reasons for this. First, the ratio of actual to apparent surface area is greater for RVC electrodes than for the others. Second, FMN and its photoproducts react better with carbon than platinum electrodes. Substituting RVC electrodes for platinum increased the power conversion efficiency from 1.0 to 3.9%. Platinizing platinum, nickel mesh, or brass electrodes also increased the power developed. However, the photopotential remained stable for several hours only for the platinized platinum electrodes.

New process of low-temperature methanol synthesis from CO/CO_2/H_2 based on dual-catalysis

A new process of low-temperature methanol synthesis from CO/CO2/H2 based on dual-catalysis has been developed. Some alcohols, especially 2-alcohol, were found to have high catalytic promoting effect on the synthesis of methanol from CO hydrogenation. At 443 K and 5 MPa, the synthesis of methanol could process high effectively, resulting from the synergic catalysis of Cu/ZnO solid catalyst and 2-alcohol solvent catalyst. The primary results showed that when 2-butanol was used as reaction solvent, the one-pass average yield and the selectivity of methanol, in 40 h continuous reaction at temperature as low as 443 K and 5 MPa, were high up to 46.51% and 98.94% respectively. The catalytic activity was stable and the reaction temperature was 80 K or so lower than that in current industry synthesis process. This new process hopefully will become a practical method for methanol synthesis at low temperature.

焦炭催化CO还原NO的反应机理研究

利用密度泛函理论,研究了焦炭催化作用下CO还原NO的化学反应机理,优化得到了均相反应路径以及在Zigzag和Armchair型焦炭表面上的异相反应路径中所有驻点的几何构型与能量,并对三条反应路径进行了动力学分析。结果表明,均相NO还原反应的活化能为254.06 kJ/mol,而Zigzag型与Armchair型焦炭表面NO异相还原反应的活化能分别为86.94与52.16 kJ/mol,说明焦炭在NO还原反应中能够起到催化作用。在焦炭表面进行的CO还原NO的反应路径经历N₂形成、N₂释放及两步CO₂释放四个阶段,最终生成一个N₂分子与两个CO₂分子。此外,通过对比不同路径下异相反应的能量变化与动力学参数可知,焦炭表面结构对NO还原反应特性存在较大影响;与Zigzag型焦炭表面相比,基于Armchair型焦炭表面的NO还原反应决速步能垒值更低且反应速率更快,表明在Armchair型焦炭表面上的NO还原反应更易进行。

Selective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds affording aromatic amines under CO/H2O conditions catalyzed by phosphine-added rhodium and ruthenium carbonyl complexes

High catalytic activities for the selective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines under the mild reaction conditions of room temperature and 1 atm of CO were found to be exhibited by chelatephosphine (dppe, dppm, etc.; dppe: 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, dppm: bis(diphenylphosphino)methane)-added rhodium and ruthenium carbonyl complexes in a 5 N NAOH aqueous solution. The reduction proceeded not only with high catalytic activities, but also with remarkably high nitro group selectivities; for example, 1-nitroanthraquinone afforded 1-aminoanthraquinone without other unsaturated groups (such as CO) being reduced. PR₃-added Rh(CO)₂(acac) complexes (PR₃: PEtPh₂, PEt₂Ph, PEt₃, etc.; acac: acetylacetonato) in diglyme in a 5 N NaOH aqueous solution were also found to show significant catalytic activities for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds under mild CO/H₂O conditions. Both electronic and steric factors of phosphine ligands are important in making this reaction proceed at such remarkable rates.     

The reduction of oxygen at illuminated p-GaP: Evidence for a current doubling mechanism

The reduction of oxygen at illuminated p-GaP has been studied. At low light intensities the reduction to hydrogen peroxide takes place by a current doubling mechanism which involves hole injection by the HO^?₂ intermediate. At higher light intensities. HO^?₂ is reduced by photoexcited electrons from the conduction band. A kinetic scheme is proposed to explain these observations.     

液相还原法制备Cu/Zn/Al/Zr催化剂用于CO2加氢合成甲醇

近年来,由于大气CO2浓度增加引起的温室效应正日益威胁着人类的生存与发展,CO2的捕获与利用是有望解决温室效应和能源危机的有效途径.CO2催化转化为甲醇成为众多研究者关注的焦点,这是因为甲醇不仅是一种重要的基本化工原料,也是一种洁净的绿色燃料和能源载体.Cu基催化剂广泛应用于CO2加氢合成甲醇反应,并表现出良好的催化性能.通常,金属催化剂的制备是采用H2对金属氧化物进行还原.然而,传统的气相还原过程伴随着强烈的热效应,且需要在高温(473-573 K)下进行,会引起表面铜颗粒长大并加速其聚集烧结,使得活性组分利用率下降.近年来,以NaBH4为还原剂的液相还原法逐渐受到人们的重视,该方法操作简单、快捷且条件可控,反应在低温下进行,放出的热量可在液相环境中迅速得到转移,大大抑制了铜颗粒的聚集.因此,液相还原法可制备出高铜分散度、高活性的催化剂.焙烧温度对铜基催化剂结构和催化性能的影响已得到广泛探究,但这仅限于含二价铜物种催化剂,焙烧温度对含多种铜价态催化剂的影响未见报道.由于液相还原法制备的催化剂含有还原态的铜物种(Cu0和Cu+),它们比Cu2+具有更强的流动性,因此在后续的焙烧过程中催化剂更容易发生烧结和聚集.本文采用液相还原法合成了Cu/Zn/Al/Zr催化剂,分别于423,573,723和873 K焙烧后用于CO2加氢合成甲醇反应,考察了焙烧温度对制备的铜基催化剂结构性质和催化性能的影响,并与传统共沉淀法制备的催化剂进行了对比.结果显示,随着焙烧温度升高,铜物种聚集作用增强,金属铜颗粒尺寸增大,873 K时烧结出现显著增强.由于比表面积随焙烧温度升高而减小,高温度焙烧的催化剂具有小的表面碱性位数目.焙烧温度会影响催化剂中铜物种与其它组分的相互作用,进而影响催化剂的还原.随着焙烧温度的升高,催化剂的还原温度逐渐降低,表面Cu+/Cu0的比例先增后减.CO2加氢活性评价显示,液相还原法制备的催化剂具有更高的催化活性,尤其是甲醇选择性;随着焙烧温度升高,催化剂的CO2转化率和甲醇选择性先增后减,CZAZ-573催化剂具有最高活性,且在1000 h长周期活性测试中表现稳定.CO2转化率与催化剂暴露金属铜的比表面积密切相关.相比Cu0,产物甲醇更容易在Cu+表面催化生成,催化剂表面的Cu+/Cu0比与甲醇选择性的变化规律一致.通过调控焙烧温度可得到高Cu比表面积以及高Cu+/Cu0比的催化剂,有利于CO2加氢生成甲醇.
