Bimetallic Au/Pd catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols in the poly(ethylene glycol)/CO2 system

Bimetallic Au/Pd nanoparticles were prepared and used to catalyze oxidation of alcohols in the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)/CO₂ biphasic system using O₂ as the oxidant without adding any base. The catalytic activity of Au/Pd bimetal with different mole ratios was studied using benzyl alcohol as the substrate. It was found that bimetallic Au/Pd nanoparticles with Au:Pd=1:3.5 had higher catalytic activity than monometallic Au, Pd and the bimetallic Au/Pd nanoparticles with other molar ratios. The effect of CO₂ pressure on the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and 1-phenylethanol in PEG/CO₂ was investigated. It was demonstrated that CO₂ pressure could be used to tune the conversion and selectivity of the reactions effectively. α,β,-Unsaturated alcohols were also studied and found to be more reactive than benzyl alcohol and 1-phenylethanol. Recycling experiments showed that the Au/Pd/PEG/CO₂ catalytic system could be recycled at least four times without reducing the activity. In addition, the catalytic system is clean and the products can be separated easily.     

Cooperative Effects in Catalytic Hydrogenation Regulated by both the Cation and Anion of an Ionic Liquid

The use of transition‐metal nanoparticles/ionic liquid (IL) as a thermoregulated and recyclable catalytic system for hydrogenation has been investigated under mild conditions. The functionalized ionic liquid was composed of poly(ethylene glycol)‐functionalized alkylimidazolium as the cation and tris(meta‐sulfonatophenyl)phosphine ([P(C₆H₄‐m‐SO₃)₃]^3?) as the anion. Ethyl acetate was chosen as the thermomorphic solvent to avoid the use of toxic organic solvents. Due to a cooperative effect regulated by both the cation and anion of the ionic liquid, the nanocatalysts displayed distinguished temperature‐dependent phase behavior and excellent catalytic activity and selectivity, coupled with high stability. In the hydrogenation of α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes, the ionic‐liquid‐stabilized palladium and rhodium nanoparticles exhibited higher selectivity for the hydrogenation of the C?C bonds than commercially available catalysts (Pd/C and Rh/C). We believe that the anion of the ionic liquid, [P(C₆H₄‐m‐SO₃)₃]^3?, plays a role in changing the surrounding electronic characteristics of the nanoparticles through its coordination capacity, whereas the poly(ethylene glycol)‐functionalized alkylimidazolium cation is responsible for the thermomorphic properties of the nanocatalyst in ethyl acetate. The present catalytic systems can be employed for the hydrogenation of a wide range of substrates bearing different functional groups. The catalysts could be easily separated from the products by thermoregulated phase separation and efficiently recycled ten times without significant changes in their catalytic activity.     

Palladium catalysts deposited on silicon nitride in the deep oxidation of methane

The physicochemical and catalytic properties of palladium catalysts were studied in the deep oxidation of methane. The catalysts were deposited on silicon nitride from aqueous (Pd/Si₃N₄-a) and toluene (Pd/Si₃N₄-t) solutions of palladium acetate. The use of aqueous and organic solutions of palladium acetate, all other preparation conditions being equal, resulted in the formation of palladium systems with different catalytic properties. The sample from Pd/Si₃N₄-t was characterized by high activity and stability. The systems studied had different structures and adsorption properties of palladium nanoparticles, which influenced the form of reagent adsorption, catalytic properties, and mechanism of surface reactions. The suggestion was made that the solvent played a key role in the formation of the active surface of Pd-containing catalytic systems.     

Synthesis of highly dispersed Pd/C electro-catalyst with high activity for formic acid oxidation

In this study, we present a simple process to obtain highly dispersed palladium nanoparticles on Vulcan XC-72R carbon support without any protective agent. To obtain high metal loading Pd/C catalyst without any surfactant, we modified the polyol process by employing NH₃ species as a mediation to control the reaction pathway to avoid the precipitation of Pd(OH)₂, and hence the agglomeration of Pd nanoparticles. The obtained Pd/C sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques. The results show that highly dispersed Pd/C catalyst with an average diameter of 3.0 nm could be obtained in this novel process. The activity of formic acid oxidation on this Pd/C catalyst was examined via cyclic voltammetry technique and it is found that the catalytic activity is greatly enhanced due to the reduced particle size and the improved dispersion of palladium nanoparticles on the carbon surface.     

Nature of the modifying action of white phosphorus on the properties of nanosized hydrogenation catalysts based on bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium(0)

The catalytic properties and nature of the nanoparticles forming in the system based on Pd(dba)₂ and white phosphorus are reported. A schematic mechanism is suggested for the formation of nanosized palladium-based hydrogenation catalysts. The mechanism includes the formation of palladium nanoclusters via the interaction of Pd(dba)₂ with the solvent (N,N-dimethylformamide) and substrate and the formation of palladium phosphide nanoparticles. The inhibiting effect exerted by elemental phosphorus on the catalytic process is due to the conversion of part of the Pd(0) into palladium phosphides, which are inactive in hydrogenation under mild conditions, and the formation of mainly segregated palladium nanoclusters and palladium phosphide nanoparticles. By investigating the interaction between Pd(dba)₂ and white phosphorus in benzene, it has been established that the formation of palladium phosphides under mild conditions consists of the following consecutive steps: Pd(0) → PdP₂ → Pd₅P₂ → Pd₃P. It is explained why white phosphorus can produce diametrically opposite effects of on the catalytic properties of nanosized palladium-based hydrogenation catalysts, depending on the nature of the palladium precursor.

The formation of palladium nanoparticles (5 nm) in solution on contact of the initial heterogeneous Pd/ZrO₂/SO₄ catalyst with perchloric acid was proved by transmission electron microscopy. The palladium nanoparticles are assumed to play the key role in olefin oxidation with the iron(III) aqua ions. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and Performance of Polyvinylpyrrolidone‐Protected Pd Nanoparticles Supported on TiO2MWCNTs under Protection of PVP for in Alcohols Oxidation in Alkaline Media

This paper describes the synthesis and performance of Pd/p‐TiO₂‐MWCNTs for alcohol electrooxidation. Regulation of the steric repulsive forces of polyvinylpyrrolidone was used to achieve even dispersion of Pd nanoparticles over the TiO₂ surfaces. The order of the electroactivities of the Pd/p‐TiO₂? MWCNTs in alcohol oxidation was ethanol>ethylene glycol>methanol. The order of the stabilities of alcohol oxidation by Pd/p‐TiO₂? MWCNTs was ethylene glycol>ethanol>methanol. Electroimpedance spectroscopy showed that at a potential of ?0.1 V, the Pd/p‐TiO₂? MWCNTs had good tolerance of adsorbed CO in ethylene glycol oxidation, and at ?0.2 V, the Pd/p‐TiO₂? MWCNTs had good adsorbed CO tolerance in methanol oxidation.     

Synthesis of palladium nanoparticles by sonochemical reduction of palladium(II) nitrate in aqueous solution

The sonochemical synthesis of stable palladium nanoparticles has been achieved by ultrasonic irradiation of palladium(II) nitrate solution. The starting solutions were prepared by the addition of different concentrations of palladium(II) nitrate in ethylene glycol and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). The resulting mixtures were irradiated with ultrasonic 50 kHz waves in a glass vessel for 180 min. The UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and pH measurements revealed that the reduction of Pd(II) to metallic Pd has been successfully achieved and that the obtained suspensions have a long shelf life. The protective effect of PVP was studied using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. It has been found that, in the presence of ethylene glycol, the stabilization of the nanoparticles results from the adsorption of the PVP chain on the palladium particle surface via the coordination of the PVP carbonyl group to the palladium atoms. The effect of the initial Pd(II) concentration on the Pd nanoparticle morphology has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy. It has been shown that the increase of the Pd(II)/PVP molar ratio from 0.13 x 10(-3) to 0.53 x 10(-3) decreases the number of palladium nanoparticles with a slight increase in particle size. For the highest Pd(II)/PVP value, 0.53 x 10(-3), the reduction reaction leads to the unexpected smallest nanoparticles in the form of aggregates.
