Ordered Porous Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Matrix with Atomically Dispersed Cobalt Sites as an Efficient Catalyst for Dehydrogenation and Transfer Hydrogenation of N‐Heterocycles

Single‐atom catalysts (SACs) have been explored widely as potential substitutes for homogeneous catalysts. Isolated cobalt single‐atom sites were stabilized on an ordered porous nitrogen‐doped carbon matrix (ISAS‐Co/OPNC). ISAS‐Co/OPNC is a highly efficient catalyst for acceptorless dehydrogenation of N‐heterocycles to release H₂. ISAS‐Co/OPNC also exhibits excellent catalytic activity for the reverse transfer hydrogenation (or hydrogenation) of N‐heterocycles to store H₂, using formic acid or external hydrogen as a hydrogen source. The catalytic performance of ISAS‐Co/OPNC in both reactions surpasses previously reported homogeneous and heterogeneous precious‐metal catalysts. The reaction mechanisms are systematically investigated using first‐principles calculations and it is suggested that the Eley–Rideal mechanism is dominant.

Boosting the Proton-coupled Electron Transfer via Fe−P Atomic Pair for Enhanced Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Single-atom catalysts exhibit superior CO₂-to-CO catalytic activity, but poor kinetics of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) steps still limit the overall performance toward the industrial scale. Here, we constructed a Fe−P atom paired catalyst onto nitrogen doped graphitic layer (Fe₁/PNG) to accelerate PCET step. Fe₁/PNG delivers an industrial CO current of 1 A with FE_CO over 90 % at 2.5 V in a membrane-electrode assembly, overperforming the CO current of Fe₁/NG by more than 300 %. We also decrypted the synergistic effects of the P atom in the Fe−P atom pair using operando techniques and density functional theory, revealing that the P atom provides additional adsorption sites for accelerating water dissociation, boosting the hydrogenation of CO₂, and enhancing the activity of CO₂ reduction. This atom-pair catalytic strategy can modulate multiple reactants and intermediates to break through the inherent limitations of single-atom catalysts.

Industrial Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts made from Co(neodecanoate)2 or Ni(2-ethylhexanoate)2 and AlEt3: evidence for nanoclusters and sub-nanocluster or larger Ziegler-nanocluster based catalysis

Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts are important for industrial processes, namely, the large-scale selective hydrogenation of styrenic block copolymers. Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts are composed of a group 8-10 transition metal precatalyst plus an alkylaluminum cocatalyst (and they are not the same as Ziegler-Natta polymerization catalysts). However, for ～50 years two unsettled issues central to Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysis are the nature of the metal species present after catalyst synthesis, and whether the species primarily responsible for catalytic hydrogenation activity are homogeneous (e.g., monometallic complexes) or heterogeneous (e.g., Ziegler nanoclusters defined as metal nanoclusters made from combination of Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalyst precursors). A critical review of the existing literature (Alley et al. J. Mol. Catal. A: Chem. 2010, 315, 1-27) and a recently published study using an Ir model system (Alley et al. Inorg. Chem. 2010, 49, 8131-8147) help to guide the present investigation of Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts made from the industrially favored precursors Co(neodecanoate)(2) or Ni(2-ethylhexanoate)(2), plus AlEt(3). The approach and methods used herein parallel those used in the study of the Ir model system. Specifically, a combination of Z-contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS), and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy are used to characterize the transition metal species both before and after hydrogenation. Kinetic studies including Hg(0) poisoning experiments are utilized to test which species are the most active catalysts. The main findings are that, both before and after catalytic cyclohexene hydrogenation, the species present comprise a broad distribution of metal cluster sizes from subnanometer to nanometer scale particles, with estimated mean cluster diameters of about 1 nm for both Co and Ni. The XAFS results also imply that the catalyst solutions are a mixture of the metal clusters described above, plus unreduced metal ions. The kinetics-based Hg(0) poisoning evidence suggests that Co and Ni Ziegler nanoclusters (i.e., M(≥4)) are the most active Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts in these industrial systems. Overall, the novelty and primary conclusions of this study are as follows: (i) this study examines Co- and Ni-based catalysts made from the actual industrial precursor materials, catalysts that are notoriously problematic regarding their characterization; (ii) the Z-contrast STEM results reported herein represent, to our knowledge, the best microscopic analysis of the industrial Co and Ni Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts; (iii) this study is the first explicit application of an established method, using multiple analytical methods and kinetics-based studies, for distinguishing homogeneous from heterogeneous catalysis in these Ziegler-type systems; and (iv) this study parallels the successful study of an Ir model Ziegler catalyst system, thereby benefiting from a comparison to those previously unavailable findings, although the greater M-M bond energy, and tendency to agglomerate, of Ir versus Ni or Co are important differences to be noted. Overall, the main result of this work is that it provides the leading hypothesis going forward to try to refute in future work, namely, that sub, M(≥4) to larger, M(n) Ziegler nanoclusters are the dominant, industrial, Co- and Ni- plus AlR(3) catalysts in Ziegler-type hydrogenation systems.     

MIL-100(Fe) Supported Pt−Co Nanoparticles as Active and Selective Heterogeneous Catalysts for Hydrogenation of 1,3-Butadiene

Superior catalytic performance for selective 1,3-butadiene (1,3-BD) hydrogenation can usually be achieved with supported bimetallic catalysts. In this work, Pt−Co nanoparticles and Pt nanoparticles supported on metal–organic framework MIL-100(Fe) catalysts (MIL=Materials of Institut Lavoisier, PtCo/MIL-100(Fe) and Pt/MIL-100(Fe)) were synthesized via a simple impregnation reduction method, and their catalytic performance was investigated for the hydrogenation of 1,3-BD. Pt1Co1/MIL-100(Fe) presented better catalytic performance than Pt/MIL-100(Fe), with significantly enhanced total butene selectivity. Moreover, the secondary hydrogenation of butenes was effectively inhibited after doping with Co. The Pt1Co1/MIL-100(Fe) catalyst displayed good stability in the 1,3-BD hydrogenation reaction. No significant catalyst deactivation was observed during 9 h of hydrogenation, but its catalytic activity gradually reduces for the next 17 h. Carbon deposition on Pt1Co1/MIL-100(Fe) is the reason for its deactivation in 1,3-BD hydrogenation reaction. The spent Pt1Co1/MIL-100(Fe) catalyst could be regenerated at 200 °C, and regenerated catalysts displayed the similar 1,3-BD conversion and butene selectivity with fresh catalysts. Moreover, the rate-determining step of this reaction was hydrogen dissociation. The outstanding activity and total butene selectivity of the Pt1Co1/MIL-100(Fe) catalyst illustrate that Pt−Co bimetallic catalysts are an ideal alternative for replacing mono-noble-metal-based catalysts in selective 1,3-BD hydrogenation reactions.     

Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts made from group 8–10 transition metal precatalysts and AlR3 cocatalysts: A critical review of the literature

Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts (group 8–10 transition metal precatalysts plus AlR₃ cocatalysts) are one of the most important families of industrial hydrogenation catalysts, especially for polymer hydrogenation. Despite their ～40 year history of industrial use, there is a need for improved fundamental understanding in order to make further, rationally directed improvements in these catalysts. This review examines the existing literature on Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts, specifically: (i) the variables important to catalyst synthesis, (ii) the catalyst formation reaction mechanism, (iii) the compositional and structural nature of the active catalyst species, and (iv) the mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation. This review also (v) discusses the current approaches to the homogeneous versus heterogeneous catalysis question, with the goal of identifying if Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts are homogeneous (e.g., monometallic) versus heterogeneous (e.g., nanoclusters) as the true catalyst(s). A summary of the main insights from each section of the review is also given.

No significant catalyst deactivation was observed during 9 h of hydrogenation, but its catalytic activity gradually reduces for the next 17 h. Carbon deposition on Pt1Co1/MIL‐100(Fe) is the reason for its deactivation in 1,3‐BD hydrogenation reaction. The spent Pt1Co1/MIL‐100(Fe) catalyst could be regenerated at 200 °C, and regenerated catalysts displayed the similar 1,3‐BD conversion and butene selectivity with fresh catalysts. Moreover, the rate‐determining step of this reaction was hydrogen dissociation. The outstanding activity and total butene selectivity of the Pt1Co1/MIL‐100(Fe) catalyst illustrate that Pt−Co bimetallic catalysts are an ideal alternative for replacing mono‐noble‐metal‐based catalysts in selective 1,3‐BD hydrogenation reactions.     

Pt在MgAl2O4载体上的分散程度对催化苯甲醛加氢反应影响

构建催化剂特别是在亚纳米尺度下分散的贵金属催化剂的构效关系是多相催化研究领域中的主要任务之一.我们采用与金属Pt具有强相互作用的MgAl2O4尖晶石作为载体,通过简单浸渍法制备了在纳米、亚纳米和单原子尺度上分散的Pt催化剂.首先利用X射线衍射和原子分辨的球差校正电镜,确定了Pt在MgAl2O4尖晶石载体表面上随负载量增大逐渐形成孤立的和相邻的单原子Pt,然后逐渐形成无定形Pt聚集体和小晶粒;然后利用电感耦合等离子体光谱和CO化学吸附测定了催化剂中Pt的含量和分散度;进一步通过测定CO在Pt表面吸附的红外光谱,区分了载体表面单原子和金属颗粒表面原子的CO吸附特征结构,并据此对不同结构的Pt原子进行了半定量估算.考察了具有不同Pt分散结构的Pt/MgAl2O4催化剂的催化苯甲醛选择性加氢能力,发现以载体表面Pt单原子物种为主的催化剂,可在较宽的温度区间内保持较高的部分加氢产物苯甲醇的选择性(60–150oC,苯甲醇选择性99.4–97.9％,甲苯选择性～0.4％),而以Pt纳米颗粒为主的催化剂上苯甲醇选择性降低显著,同时生成较多深度加氢产物甲苯(60–150oC,苯甲醇选择性99.0–93.1％,甲苯选择性0.7–5.0％).此外,我们测定了各催化剂在不同转化率(～20–90％)时催化剂加氢反应的质量比活性和转化频率(TOF),并在较低苯甲醛转化率(～20％)时,估算了不同结构Pt物种对苯甲醛加氢反应的本征活性,发现Pt纳米颗粒表面原子比MgAl2O4载体表面Pt单原子本征活性更高(4807 h–1 versus 3277 h–1).综上,Pt单原子催化剂具有贵金属原子利用率高,本征活性和加氢选择性高等优点;Pt纳米催化剂表面原子深度加氢能力强,加氢选择性较差,虽本征活性更高,但不足以补偿贵金属原子利用率降低带来的活性损失,Pt质量比活性显著低于单原子催化剂.此外,MgAl2O4尖晶石负载的单原子Pt催化剂也具有良好的催化反应循环稳定性,是一种较为理想的催化苯甲醛选择性加氢制苯甲醇催化剂.

Pd/ZnO在乙炔选择加氢反应中的不同催化机制研究(英文)

化学选择性是评价催化剂性能最重要的参数之一,它直接决定了产物的经济价值及后续的分离成本.传统的负载型金属催化剂由于其金属粒径分布不均,且不同原子数组成的粒子通常具有特征产物选择性,从而限制化学选择性的提高;另一方面,对于金属多原子活性中心,反应物在催化剂表面可以存在多种吸附构型进而衍化为不同产物,产物可控性差.因此,获得金属尺寸均一,且具有原子分散的活性中心,即单原子催化剂,成为官能团多相催化转化高选择性的迫切需求.本课题组通过400 oC还原1%-Pd/ZnO得到PdZn金属间化合物,依据其规律排布的Pd-Zn-Pd单元获得Pd基单原子催化剂.该催化剂在乙烯化工中少量乙炔的加氢转化反应中获得令人欣喜的催化性能——兼具有乙炔的高转化率和乙烯的高选择性.结合微量吸附量热、理论计算等表征,Pd活性中心在PdZn金属间化合物中的特殊空间排布是其优异催化性能的根源,即乙炔以较强的σ键吸附在两个相邻的单Pd金属中心,易吸附活化加氢生成乙烯,而乙烯则吸附于单Pd金属中心,较弱的π键形式吸附有利于其脱附避免过渡加氢.基于前期研究,构筑具有均一单金属中心的负载型单原子催化剂是获得高选择性的另一有效方法,且较之于PdZn金属间化合物催化剂,该类单原子催化剂兼具有原子利用率最大化的优点.本文采用等体积浸渍法制备Pd/ZnO催化剂,通过降低Pd金属含量(1 wt%→0.1 wt%→0.01 wt%)并在较低的温度下(100 oC)还原(H2-TPR表明高温还原形成PdZn金属间化合物型合金)得到负载型单原子催化剂(Pd1/ZnO SAC).高分辨电镜结果表明,当Pd负载量由1%降至0.1%,金属纳米颗粒的粒径尺寸显著降低,而在0.01%-Pd/ZnO催化剂表面,Pd活性中心则以单原子状态分散于载体ZnO表面.X-射线吸收光谱及电子能谱表明,随着负载量的降低,Pd活性物种具有更高的正电性.该催化剂在乙炔选择性加氢反应中表现出更加优越的催化性能,具有与PdZn催化剂相当的高选择性,而更优的比活性.这归结于Pd1/ZnO单原子催化剂的Pdδ+单原子活性中心有助于其与乙炔的静电相互作用并吸附活化加氢生成乙烯,并促使乙烯以较弱的π键吸附,从而易于从催化剂表面脱附获得高选择性.     

Pt3Co Octapods as Superior Catalysts of CO2 Hydrogenation

As the electron transfer to CO₂ is a critical step in the activation of CO₂, it is of significant importance to engineer the electronic properties of CO₂ hydrogenation catalysts to enhance their activity. Herein, we prepared Pt₃Co nanocrystals with improved catalytic performance towards CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol. Pt₃Co octapods, Pt₃Co nanocubes, Pt octapods, and Pt nanocubes were tested, and the Pt₃Co octapods achieved the best catalytic activity. Both the presence of multiple sharp tips and charge transfer between Pt and Co enabled the accumulation of negative charges on the Pt atoms in the vertices of the Pt₃Co octapods. Moreover, infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy confirmed that the high negative charge density at the Pt atoms in the vertices of the Pt₃Co octapods promotes the activation of CO₂ and accordingly enhances the catalytic activity.     

Bringing Homogeneous Iron Catalysts on the Heterogeneous Side: Solutions for Immobilization

Noble metal catalysts currently dominate the landscape of chemical synthesis, but cheaper and less toxic derivatives are recently emerging as more sustainable solutions. Iron is among the possible alternative metals due to its biocompatibility and exceptional versatility. Nowadays, iron catalysts work essentially in homogeneous conditions, while heterogeneous catalysts would be better performing and more desirable systems for a broad industrial application. In this review, approaches for heterogenization of iron catalysts reported in the literature within the last two decades are summarized, and utility and critical points are discussed. The immobilization on silica of bis(arylimine)pyridyl iron complexes, good catalysts in the polymerization of olefins, is the first useful heterogeneous strategy described. Microporous molecular sieves also proved to be good iron catalyst carriers, able to provide confined geometries where olefin polymerization can occur. Same immobilizing supports (e.g., MCM-41 and MCM-48) are suitable for anchoring iron-based catalysts for styrene, cyclohexene and cyclohexane oxidation. Another excellent example is the anchoring to a Merrifield resin of an Fe^II-anthranilic acid complex, active in the catalytic reaction of urea with alcohols and amines for the synthesis of carbamates and N-substituted ureas, respectively. A SILP (Supported Ionic Liquid Phase) catalytic system has been successfully employed for the heterogenization of a chemoselective iron catalyst active in aldehyde hydrogenation. Finally, Fe^III ions supported on polyvinylpyridine grafted chitosan made a useful heterogeneous catalytic system for C–H bond activation.
