Atomistic modeling of surface and bulk properties of Cu, Pd and the Cu–Pd system

The BFS method for alloys is applied to the study of the Cu–Pd system. A variety of issues are analyzed and discussed, including the properties of pure Cu or Pd crystals (surface energies, surface relaxations), Pd/Cu and Cu/Pd surface alloys, segregation of Pd (or Cu) in Cu (or Pd), concentration dependence of the lattice parameter of the high temperature fcc CuPd solid solution, the formation and properties of low temperature ordered phases, and order–disorder transition temperatures. Emphasis is made on the ability of the method to describe these properties on the basis of a minimum set of BFS universal parameters that uniquely characterize the Cu–Pd system.     

Enantioselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids over cinchonidine-modified Pd catalysts: effect of substrate structure on the adsorption mode

Systematic variation of the substrate structure in the enantioselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids over cinchonidine-modified Pd catalysts indicated that aryl substituents in β position changed the adsorption mode of the substrates on the metal surface and eventually the configuration of the products formed in excess as compared to aliphatic substrates. The configuration of the products formed in excess by hydrogenation of eight α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids, of which two have not been described yet, indicated that the substrates bearing aromatic ring in β position were adsorbed on the opposite face of the CC group compared to acids having aliphatic group in β position.     

Thin Pd membrane on α-Al2O3 hollow fiber substrate without any interlayer by electroless plating combined with embedding Pd catalyst in polymer template

Palladium acetate and poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) were dissolved in chloroform to form a homogeneous solution. Using this solution, thin polymer template film with embedded Pd catalyst was coated on a porous α-Al₂O₃ hollow fiber substrate. The Pd in the template film was used as the catalyst for electroless plating of Pd membranes. After the template was removed by heat treatment, the thin Pd membranes without any intermediate layers and substrate penetration were synthesized successfully. The as-synthesized Pd composite membranes of thickness less than 5 μm not only have a very high hydrogen permeance/permeability but also have a good hydrogen selectivity. Moreover, the good membrane stability was verified by the long-term operation under the condition of hydrogen permeation and the gas exchange cycles between pure hydrogen and pure helium. The good membrane stability was interpreted by estimating the shear stress of the special membrane configuration with small gap between Pd membrane and porous substrate layer.     

Surface electronic structure of Pt(1 1 0): comparison with Ni and Pd

The unoccupied electronic structure of Pt(1 1 0) was investigated by inverse photoemission. The results were compared with the data for Ni(1 1 0) and Pd(1 1 0) with particular emphasis on surface states. The surface states in the gap of Pt(1 1 0) are shifted upwards relative to Ni and Pd, as a consequence of the (1 × 2) missing-row reconstruction. In contrast, the surface state at is only weakly affected, which indicates that it is essentially a one-dimensional state, localized on the densely-packed atomic chains on the Pt(1 1 0) surface.     

Effects of reduction temperature and content of Pd loading on the performance Pd/CeO2 catalyst for CO oxidation

Palladium nanoparticles were prepared by thermally assisted reduction using glutathione as reduction agent. The Pd loading on CeO₂ for CO oxidation was optimized to 1.5 wt%. The catalysts reduced at 350 C show the highest activity for CO oxidation, which achieve 100% CO conversion at 70℃.

Catalytic effect of Pd nanoparticles on electroless copper deposition

This study elucidates the application of Pd nanoparticles as catalysts of electroless copper deposition and their catalytic effect on the deposition kinetics and microstructure in an electroless copper bath. Quartz crystal microgravimetry (QCM) and high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) demonstrated that the kinetic changes associated with electroless copper deposition (ECD) comprised two stages—the incubation period and the acceleration period. In the incubation period, small copper particles were deposited. In the acceleration period, the ECD rate increased rapidly and continuously conducting films with large grains were formed. Leaner sweep voltammetry (LSV) and mixed potential theory (MPT) were applied to examine the catalytic powers of the prepared Pd nanoparticles and the related electrochemical kinetics in the ECD bath.     

Preparation and crystal structure of Nb6.74 Ta5.26S4 – a new compound in the ternary system Ta?Nb?S

Nb_6.74Ta_5.26S₄ has been prepared by high temperature techniques. The crystal structure has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data (R/R_w = 0.0588/0.0655). The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with unit cell dimensions a = 959.11 (26) pm, b = 336.37 (10) pm, and c = 3282.51 (74) pm. The orthorhombic cell contains four formula units. Its structure is similar to that of Nb-rich sulfides, rather than to that of Ta-rich sulfides. The metal coordinations are capped distorted cubic prisms and pentagonal prisms while the coordinations of sulfur are capped trigonal prisms.     

Decomposition of NH3 on Pd and Ir Comparison with Pt and Rh

The unimolecular decompositions of NH₃ on polycrystalline wires and foils of Pd and Ir are examined and compared with the corresponding ones on Pt and Rh. The reactions were carried out in a differential flow reactor, at pressures from 0.01 to 1 Torr and temperatures from 500 to 1900 K. It was found that the rates of product formation could be fit by Langmuir-Hinshelwood unimolecular rate expressions, with an accuracy of ±20% under all conditions. Ammonia decomposes to N₂ and the rate of decomposition is fastest on Ir by several orders of magnitude when compared with that on the other metals, becoming flux limited above about 750 K. Ir appears to be the choice catalyst for dehydrogenating ammonia. The heats of adsorption of NH₃ on Pt, Rh and Pd are similar and equal to 16.7, 16.8 and 17.4 kcal/mol, respectively. The apparent activation energy for this reaction is similar on Pt and Rh and equal to 21 kcal/mol, while for Pd and Ir it is 26.2 and 31.2 kcal/mol, respectively.

In situ UV-Vis and ex situ IR spectroelectrochemical investigations of amorphous and crystalline electrochromic Nb2O5 films in charged/discharged states

Niobium oxide (Nb₂O₅) films and powders have been obtained via the sol-gel route from an NbCl₅ precursor. XRD spectra revealed that films with pseudohexagonal (TT-phase) and orthorhombic (T-phase) structure were formed at 500  °C and 800  °C, respectively, while at 300  °C films were amorphous. Infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of powders and films of Nb₂O₅ in different polymorphic forms were detected, and vibrational band assignments were made. Electrochromic properties of amorphous films and films with the TT-phase were established from in situ ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) spectroelectrochemical measurements and correlated with ex situ IR transmission spectra of charged films. Ex situ IR spectra revealed that charging of amorphous films is accompanied by variations of the Nb-O stretching mode intensity, while, for films with the TT- and T-phase, splitting of the Nb₃-O stretching modes and the appearance of polaron absorption were noted with Li⁺ ion insertion. Ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra of charged films with the TT-phase showed changes of the unit cell dimensions with charging. The influence of the polaron absorption on the ex situ near-grazing incidence angle (NGIA) IR reflection-absorption spectra of charged/discharged films is discussed in detail.

Investigation of the catalytic activity of a Pd/biphenyl-based phosphine system in the Ullmann homocoupling of aryl bromides

We described Ullmann homocoupling promoted by a Pd/biphenyl-based phosphine system using DMF as solvent. Using Hammett equation it is found that the rate determining step of the reaction depends on the electronic nature of substituents of aryl bromides. Increase the rate of reaction with decreasing the electron donating of the substituent from NH₂ to H suggesting an oxidative addition step as the rate determining step. Decrease the rate of reaction with increasing the electron-withdrawing ability of the substituent from H to NO₂ indicating a reductive elimination step as the rate determining step.     

Pd(111), Pd(100)及Pd(110)表面H2和O2直接合成H2O2的密度泛函理论研究

采用周期性密度泛函理论研究了H₂和O₂在Pd(111),Pd(100)及Pd(110)表面上直接合成H₂O₂的反应机理,对反应的主要基元步骤进行了计算和分析.结果表明,Pd(111)表面对H₂O₂直接合成的催化选择性最好,表面原子密度较低的Pd(100)表面和Pd(110)表面上含有O-O键的表面物种解离严重,不利于H₂O₂的生成.H₂O₂的选择性与含有O-O键表面物种的O-O键能和表面物种的结合能有关.含有O-O键的表面物种在表面的结合能越大,越容易发生解离,不利于形成H₂O₂.

Pd/C-mediated coupling of aryl halides with terminal alkynes in water

2-Aminoethanol facilitated the alkynylation of aryl halides (Sonogashira reaction) under palladium/charcoal-copper catalysis in water affording a mild and practical method for the synthesis of arylalkynes. A variety of terminal alkynes were coupled with aryl iodides and bromides possessing no hydrophilic functional groups to give the coupled products in good to excellent yields.
