高(111)晶面暴露的Pd纳米颗粒的制备与表征及其加氢性能

通过液相氢气还原法,在不同温度下制备出了不同（111）晶面占比的Pd单晶纳米颗粒,用活性炭吸附制备成Pd/C纳米催化剂。通过透射电子显微镜（TEM）、傅里叶变换（FFT）、X射线衍射（XRD）表征证实了低温下制备的Pd纳米颗粒具有较高的（111）晶面占比。氢氧脉冲滴定（H₂-O₂）和H₂-程序升温脱附（H₂-TPD）结果显示,上述催化剂表面吸附氢气量与其Pd（111）晶面占比呈线性关系。此外,该系列Pd/C催化剂具有相似的粒径4.3 nm以及较窄的尺寸分布,相近的孔隙参数和Pd负载量,从而可对比（111）晶面比例差异对其加氢性能的影响。3个探针反应（苯乙烯、环己烯和对硝基甲苯的加氢反应）的实验结果表明,相比于低（111）晶面暴露比例的Pd/C催化剂,含有高（111）晶面暴露比例的Pd/C催化剂显示出更高的加氢活性,且Pd（111）晶面比例与氢气消耗速率呈一定的线性关系,这归因于H₂优先吸附于Pd（111）晶面促进了活性氢原子的形成。基于以上分析,高（111）晶面暴露的Pd基催化剂有利于加氢性能的提高。     

Synthesis of Ni/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanoparticles for catalytic benzene hydrogenation

Nickel nanoparticles supported on silica were prepared by hydrazine reduction in aqueous medium. The obtained solids were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electronic Microscopy (TEM), Electron Diffraction (ED), hydrogen chemisorption, and Temperature Programmed Desorption of hydrogen (H₂-TPD). The catalytic properties were evaluated for benzene hydrogenation in the temperature range 75–230 °C. XRD patterns reveal presence of the metallic nickel particles with fcc structure. Metal dispersion and hydrogen storage increase with decreasing metal particle size. The H₂-TPD profiles exhibit two domains, one due to desorption of hydrogen from Ni metal and another due to spillover from metal to the support. The catalytic activity strongly depends on the metal loading. It increases with decreasing metal loading. This is attributed to metal surface area, which also increases with decreasing metal loading. Kinetic studies of benzene hydrogenation on the Ni catalysts showed that the benzene partial order is around −2. This significant negative value is ascribed to a strong adsorption of benzene on the catalyst surface.     

Sedimentation field flow fractionation and flow field flow fractionation as tools for studying the aging effects of WO₃ colloids for photoelectrochemical uses

WO₃ colloidal suspensions obtained through a simple sol–gel procedure were subjected to a controlled temperature aging process whose time evolution in terms of particle mass and size distribution was followed by sedimentation field flow fractionation (SdFFF) and flow field flow fractionation (FlFFF). The experiments performed at a temperature of 60 °C showed that in a few hours the initially transparent sol of WO₃ particles, whose size was less than 25 nm, undergoes a progressive size increase allowing nanoparticles to reach a maximum equivalent spherical size of about 130 nm after 5 h. The observed shift in particle size distribution maxima (SdFFF), the broadening of the curves (FlFFF) and the SEM–TEM observations suggest a mixed mechanism of growth-aggregation of initial nanocrystals to form larger particles. The photoelectrochemical properties of thin WO₃ films obtained from the aged suspensions at regular intervals, were tested in a biased photoelectrocatalytic cell with 1 M H₂SO₄ under solar simulated irradiation. The current–voltage polarization curves recorded in the potential range 0–1.8 V (vs. SCE) showed a diminution of the maximum photocurrent from 3.7 mA cm⁻² to 2.8 mA cm⁻² with aging times of 1 h and 5 h, respectively. This loss of performance was mainly attributed to the reduction of the electroactive surface area of the sintered particles as suggested by the satisfactory linear correlation between the integrated photocurrent and the cyclic voltammetry cathodic wave area of the W(VI) → W(V) process measured in the dark.

Properties of Pd–Ag/C catalysts in the reaction of selective hydrogenation of acetylene

Samples of Pd/C and Pd–Ag/C, where C represents carbon nanofibers (CNFs), are synthesized by methane decomposition on a Ni–Cu–Fe/Al₂O₃ catalyst. The properties of Pd/CNF are studied in the reaction of selective hydrogenation of acetylene into ethylene. It is found that the activity of the catalyst in hydrogenation reaction increases, while selectivity decreases considerably when the palladium content rises. The obtained dependences are caused by the features of palladium’s interaction with the carbon support. At a low Pd content (up to 0.04 wt %) in the catalyst, the metal is inserted into the interlayer space of graphite and the catalytic activity is zero. It is established by EXAFS that the main share of palladium in catalysts of 0.05–0.1 wt % Pd/CNF constitutes the metal in the atomically dispersed state. The coordination environment of palladium atoms consists of carbon atoms. An increase in the palladium content in a Pd/CNF catalyst up to 0.3 wt % leads to the formation of highly dispersed (0.8–1 nm) Pd particles. The Pd/CNF samples where palladium is mainly in the atomically dispersed state exhibit the highest selectivity in the acetylene hydrogenation reaction. The addition of silver to a 0.1 wt % Pd/CNF catalyst initially probably leads to the formation of Pd–Ag clusters and then to alloyed Pd–Ag particles. An increase in the silver content in the catalyst above 0.3% causes the enlargement of the alloyed particles and the palladium atoms are blocked by a silver layer, which considerably decreases the catalytic activity in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene.     

Metal@COFs: Covalent Organic Frameworks as Templates for Pd Nanoparticles and Hydrogen Storage Properties of Pd@COF‐102 Hybrid Material

Three‐dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been demonstrated as a new class of templates for nanoparticles. Photodecomposition of the [Pd(η³‐C₃H₅)(η⁵‐C₅H₅)]@COF‐102 inclusion compound (synthesized by a gas‐phase infiltration method) led to the formation of the Pd@COF‐102 hybrid material. Advanced electron microscopy techniques (including high‐angle annular dark‐field scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron tomography) along with other conventional characterization techniques unambiguously showed that highly monodisperse Pd nanoparticles ((2.4±0.5) nm) were evenly distributed inside the COF‐102 framework. The Pd@COF‐102 hybrid material is a rare example of a metal‐nanoparticle‐loaded porous crystalline material with a very narrow size distribution without any larger agglomerates even at high loadings (30 wt %). Two samples with moderate Pd content (3.5 and 9.5 wt %) were used to study the hydrogen storage properties of the metal‐decorated COF surface. The uptakes at room temperature from these samples were higher than those of similar systems such as Pd@metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The studies show that the H₂ capacities were enhanced by a factor of 2–3 through Pd impregnation on COF‐102 at room temperature and 20 bar. This remarkable enhancement is not just due to Pd hydride formation and can be mainly ascribed to hydrogenation of residual organic compounds, such as bicyclopentadiene. The significantly higher reversible hydrogen storage capacity that comes from decomposed products of the employed organometallic Pd precursor suggests that this discovery may be relevant to the discussion of the spillover phenomenon in metal/MOFs and related systems.     

High‐Resolution 3D Proton MRI of Hyperpolarized Gas Enabled by Parahydrogen and Rh/TiO2 Heterogeneous Catalyst

Several supported metal catalysts were synthesized, characterized, and tested in heterogeneous hydrogenation of propene with parahydrogen to maximize nuclear spin hyperpolarization of propane gas using parahydrogen induced polarization (PHIP). The Rh/TiO₂ catalyst with a metal particle size of 1.6 nm was found to be the most active and effective in the pairwise hydrogen addition and robust, demonstrating reproducible results with multiple hydrogenation experiments and stability for ≥1.5 years. 3D ¹H magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 1 % hyperpolarized flowing gas with microscale spatial resolution (625×625×625 μm³) and large imaging matrix (128×128×32) was demonstrated by using a preclinical 4.7 T scanner and 17.4 s imaging scan time.     

Graphite fluoride intercalation compounds for manufacturing composites with metal nanoparticles

The feasibility of using graphite fluoride intercalation compounds (GFICs) containing metal compounds for manufacturing metal nanoparticles in a graphite or graphite fluoride matrix is shown using the hydrogen reduction of a dicarbon fluoride matrix intercalated with a chloroform solution of palladium acetylacetonate Pd(AA)₂. The composite manufactured with a GFIC containing about 10.5 wt % Pd(AA)₂ at 80°C is Pd-fluorographite; at 450°C, Pd-graphite is manufactured. The palladium particle size in the composites is about 20–30 nm; the palladium concentration is about 5 and 9 wt %, respectively.     

聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯/聚(异戊二烯-co-苯乙烯)核壳纳米乳液的合成与直接氢化方法的研究

Effect of hydrothermal treatment on the physicochemical characteristics of Pd/C composites prepared <Emphasis Type="Italic">via</Emphasis> pyrolysis of sawdust impregnated with palladium nitrate

Palladium supported on carbon (Pd/C) catalysts (0.55–0.65 wt.% of Pd) were synthesized by pyrolysis of birch sawdust under inert atmosphere proceeded by prolonged impregnation of sawdust in aqueous solution of palladium nitrate. In some cases, hydrothermal treatment (HT) of the pristine sawdust was conducted to modify the specific surface area of the final carbon material applied as a catalyst support. Based on low-temperature nitrogen adsorption technique, it was postulated that HT of sawdust in the liquid phase increases. while HT in the gaseous phase decreases the specific surface area of Pd/C. The obtained catalysts contained Pd particles (size ranged from 2 to 10 nm) both coated and not coated with carbon shell as evidenced by XPS and TEM techniques. The synthesized Pd/C composites provide high conversion of chlorobenzene and high selectivity in respect to benzene in hydrodechlorination reaction performed in a flow fixed-bed reactor in the presence of H₂. XPS data for Pd/C composites tested in the catalytic reaction indicate their high resistance to HCl. A minor part of metal Pd was found to transform into PdCl₂ and PdO.

Formation of C4 Oligomers in Hydrogenation of Acetylene over Pd/Al2O3 and Pd/TiO2 Catalysts

Selectivity of product formation has been tested in hydrogenation of acetylene over 0.3 wt.% Pd/-alumina and 0.5 wt.% Pd/TiO₂catalysts. Non-steady-state regime of catalyst operation was tested in pulse-flow experiments. Significant carbon poisoning appears to be a necessaryrequisite for selective formation of ethylene. The effect of hydrogen and acetylene partial pressure has been tested on the selectivity of C₄products. At 273–298 K the catalysts showed 26–35% selectivity for C₄ hydrocarbons and <2.5% for ethane production at conversionsof 30–40%. Deuterium distribution in ethylene and 1,3-butadiene and the deuterium content of the surface hydrogen pool have been compared and mechanismof diene formation has been discussed.     

A sensitive amperometric sensor for hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide based on palladium nanoparticles/onion-like mesoporous carbon vesicle

Onion-like mesoporous carbon vesicle (MCV) with multilayer lamellar structure was synthesized by a simply aqueous emulsion co-assembly approach. Palladium (Pd) nanoparticles were deposited on the MCV matrix (Pd/MCV) by chemical reduction of H₂PdCl₄ with NaBH₄ in aqueous media. Pd(X)/MCV (X wt.% indicates the Pd loading amount) nanocomposites with different Pd loading amount were obtained by adjusting the ratio of precursors. The particular structure of the MCV results in efficient mass transport and the onion-like layers of MCV allows for the obtainment of highly dispersed Pd nanoparticles. The introduction of Pd nanoparticles on the MCV matrix facilitates hydrazine oxidation at more negative potential and delivers higher oxidation current in comparison with MCV. A linear range from 2.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 7.1 × 10⁻⁵ M and a low detection limit of 14.9 nM for hydrazine are obtained at Pd(25)/MCV nanocomposite modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode. A nonenzymatic amperometric sensor for hydrogen peroxide based on the Pd(25)/MCV nanocomposite modified GC electrode is also developed. Compared with MCV modified GC electrode, the Pd(25)/MCV nanocomposite modified GC electrode displays enhanced amperometric responses towards hydrogen peroxide and gives a linear range from 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ to 6.1 × 10⁻³ M. The Pd(25)/MCV nanocomposite modified GC electrode achieves 95% of the steady-current for hydrogen peroxide within 1 s. The combination of the unique properties of Pd nanoparticles and the porous mesostructure of MCV matrix guarantees the improved analytical performance for hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide.     

Synthesis of Supported Ultrafine Non‐noble Subnanometer‐Scale Metal Particles Derived from Metal–Organic Frameworks as Highly Efficient Heterogeneous Catalysts

The properties of supported non‐noble metal particles with a size of less than 1 nm are unknown because their synthesis is a challenge. A strategy has now been created to immobilize ultrafine non‐noble metal particles on supports using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as metal precursors. Ni/SiO₂ and Co/SiO₂ catalysts were synthesized with an average metal particle size of 0.9 nm. The metal nanoparticles were immobilized uniformly on the support with a metal loading of about 20 wt %. Interestingly, the ultrafine non‐noble metal particles exhibited very high activity for liquid‐phase hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane even at 80 °C, while Ni/SiO₂ with larger Ni particles fabricated by a conventional method was not active under the same conditions.     

Fabrication of Ultrafine Palladium Phosphide Nanoparticles as Highly Active Catalyst for Chemoselective Hydrogenation of Alkynes

Monodisperse palladium phosphide nanoparticles (Pd–P NPs) with a smallest size ever reported of 3.9 nm were fabricated using cheap and stable triphenylphosphine as phosphorous source. After the deposition and calcination at 300 °C and 400 °C, the resulting Pd–P NPs increased in size to 4.0 nm and 4.8 nm, respectively. Notably, the latter NPs probably crystallized with a single phase of Pd₃P_0.95, which acted as a highly active catalyst in semi‐ and stereoselective hydrogenation of alkynes. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis determined a positive shift of binding energy for Pd(3d) in Pd–P NPs compared to that in Pd on carbon. It indicated the electron flow from metal to phosphorus and the larger electron deficiency of Pd in Pd–P NPs, which suppressed palladium hydride formation and subsequently increased the selectivity. Thus, this result may also indicate the applications of Pd–P and other metal–P NPs in various selective hydrogenation reactions.     

Diene‐based polymer nanoparticles: Preparation and direct catalytic latex hydrogenation

The diene‐based polymer nanoparticles represented by poly(butadiene‐co‐acrylonitrile) were prepared in the semibatch emulsion polymerization system using Gemini surfactant (GS) trimethylene‐1,3‐bis(dodecyldimethylammonium bromide) as the emulsifier. The nanoparticles within the range of 17–54 nm were achieved with narrow molecular weight and particle size distributions. A spherical morphology was observed for the produced nanoparticles. The effects of GS concentration on the particle size, molecular weight, polymerization conversion and solid content, and composition of copolymer were investigated. The semibatch process using monomeric and conventional surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was compared. At the second stage of this study, the prepared unsaturated nanoparticles were employed as the substrates for the latex hydrogenation in the presence of Wilkinson's catalyst, that is, RhCl(P(C₆H₅)₃)₃. The effects of the particle size and catalyst concentration on the latex hydrogenation rate were investigated. The particle size is found to have a significant effect on the reaction rate. When the 17‐nm nanoparticles were used as the substrates, a high conversion of 95 mol % was obtained within 18 h using only 0.1 wt % RhCl(P(C₆H₅)₃)₃. The latex hydrogenation process was completely free of organic solvents. The present synthesis and following “green” hydrogenation process can be extended to latices made from semibatch emulsion containing other diene‐based polymers. This study shows great promise for decreasing the demanded quantity of expensive catalyst and eliminating the organic solvent in the hydrogenation process. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of Sibunit-supported Pd–Ga,Pd–Zn,and Pd–Ag catalysts for liquid-phase acetylene hydrogenation

Pd/Sibunit and Pd–M/Sibunit (M = Ga, Zn, or Ag) catalysts have been synthesized, and their catalytic properties in liquid-phase acetylene hydrogenation have been investigated. Doping of the palladium catalyst with a metal M leads to the formation of the Pd₂Ga, PdZn, or Pd_0.46Ag_0.54 bimetallic compound. The bimetallic particles are much smaller (1.6–2.0 nm) than the monometallic palladium particles (4.0 nm). Doping with zinc raises the ethylene selectivity by 25% without affecting the activity of the catalyst. Specific features of the effect of each of the dopants on palladium are reported.     

Pd nanoparticles dispersed on solid supports: synthesis,characterization and catalytic activity on selective hydrogenation of olefins in aqueous media

Two types of Pd nanoparticle catalysts were prepared having 2–4 nm particle size using silica gel and porous polymer beads as solid supports. 2‐Pyridinecarboxaldehyde ligand was anchored on commercially available 3‐aminopropyl‐functionalized silica gel followed by Pd metal dispersion. Bead‐shaped cross‐linked poly(4‐vinylpyridine‐co‐styrene) gel was prepared by an emulsifier‐free emulsion polymerization of 4‐vinylpyridine, styrene and divinylbenzene in the presence of ammonium persulfate and subsequently dispersing the Pd metal on the synthesized polymer. These catalysts were characterized by SEM, TEM and ICP techiniques with respect to appearance, size and possible leaching out, respectively. Furthermore, the reactivity of these catalysts was tested on hydrogenation of various α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds using aqueous solvent under a hydrogen balloon (1 atm). The results showed that the Pd dispersed on silica was a more efficient catalyst than Pd dispersed on polymer and the former could be recycled more than 10 times without considerable loss in activity.

Metal carbonyl clusters as precursors of heterogeneous catalysts: Hydrogenation and disproportionation of monoenes, dienes, and arenes in the presence of H2Ru4(CO)13, H2FeRu3(CO)13, and HRuCo3(CO)12 supported and activated on chromosorb. Characterization of the metal particles derived from H2Ru4(CO)13 by means of IR spectroscopy and TEM microscopy

The tetrahedral hydridic clusters H₂Ru₄(CO)₁₃ (1), H₂FeRu₃(CO)₁₃ (2), and HRuCo₃(CO)₁₂ (3) were supported on Chromosorb P and activated under dihydrogen flow. The resulting metal particles are active in the hydrogenation of pentenes, cyclic monoenenes and dienes, benzene, and toluene; these catalysts are effective under mild conditions and with a low metal loading. Experiments under dinitrogen showed that complex hydrogenation-dehydrogenation processes occur, as already observed for the same clusters during the homogeneous hydrogenation of cyclohexadienes. After the gas-chromatographic catalytic runs with cluster 1 as precursor, TEM microscopy showed the presence of very small supported metal particles (mean size 7.5 nm). The decomposition of cluster 1 to metal particles upon thermal treatment on Aerosil under vacuum or under dihydrogen was followed by means of IR spectroscopy; this catalyst hydrogenates benzene at room temperature with 100% conversion in a very short time (calculated activity was about 3200 TOFs).     

Kinetics of the Hydrogenation of Pinane Hydroperoxide to Pinanol on Pd/C

The liquid-phase hydrogenation of pinane hydroperoxide (PHP) to pinanol on a Pd/C catalyst at 20–80°C and hydrogen pressures of 1–11 atm was studied. It was found that the rate of hydrogenation decreased with PHP concentration. The rate of PHP hydrogenation dramatically increased as the pressure of hydrogen was increased in a range of 2.5–3 atm. A mechanism was proposed for the hydrogenation of PHP. According to this mechanism, the step of hydrogen activation (homolytic or heterolytic addition) depends on the redox properties of the catalyst surface (the ratio between adsorbed PHP species and H₂). It was found that pinanol can be prepared with high selectivity by the hydrogenation of PHP on a Pd/C catalyst under mild conditions.
