单原子催化的最新进展

单原子催化剂由于其自身兼具均相催化剂的"孤立活性位点"和多相催化剂易于循环使用的特点,近年来受到了广泛关注.本综述概括了2015至2016年单原子催化领域的重要进展,重点介绍了新的催化剂制备方法、单原子金催化剂在CO氧化中的进展、单原子钯/铂催化的选择性加氢反应以及铂或非贵金属单原子催化剂在电化学中的应用等.在催化剂的合成方面,用传统的湿化学方法制备的单原子催化剂通常金属负载量较低,使得催化剂的常规表征比较困难.最近发展的一系列新型合成方法例如原子层沉积法、高温蒸汽转移法、光介还原法以及热解法等制备M?N?C等非贵金属催化剂等,尽管有不同程度的局限性,但均可以成功制备高负载量的单原子催化剂.单原子催化剂的载体得到了拓展,除传统的金属氧化物外,金属有机框架材料和二维材料等均被用于单原子催化剂的制备.在单原子催化剂的应用方面,金由于较高的电负性和与氧的弱相互作用能力,因而与氧化物载体作用较弱,不易形成单原子催化剂.但近期报道了成功制备的单原子金催化剂,在CO氧化反应、乙醇脱氢和二烯加氢反应中都有不错的进展.本文还介绍了铂和钯单原子(合金)催化剂在加氢反应中的优异活性及选择性,表明了单原子催化剂在选择性上的优势.将一种金属掺杂到另一种金属基底中制备的单原子合金催化剂也因其特异的性能备受关注.此外,对于化工生产中典型的均相催化反应,如氢甲酰化,单原子催化剂在无外加膦配体的情况下表现出高活性的同时还能很好地控制化学选择性,甚至达到令人满意的区域选择性,从实验上证明了单原子催化剂有望作为沟通均相催化和多相催化的桥梁.单原子催化剂在电催化和光催化中也得到了快速发展.铂单原子催化剂因其高原子利用率和高稳定性,在析氢反应和氧还原反应中有着良好的应用前景.另一方面,非贵金属特别是Co单原子催化剂在光电催化中因其优异的活性和巨大潜力得到了较深入的研究.除了上述进展,单原子催化领域还有许多基本问题需要继续深入研究,对单原子催化剂更加全面透彻的认识将为设计发展新型催化体系,扩展单原子催化领域提供指导和借鉴.

Surface Organometallic Chemistry for Single-site Catalysis and Single-atom Catalysis

Although driven by different research interests, single-site catalysts and single-atom catalysts are both believed to be model systems bridging homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. The two concepts are similar but different. In this review, we will first explain the difference between single-atom catalysis and single-site catalysis, in terms of their goals, synthetic methods and coordination structures of corresponding catalysts. Then, we will introduce the surface organometallic chemistry method, a method traditionally used for synthesizing single-site catalyst. We will explain why it might benefit the single-atom catalysis community. At last, the choice of support to accommodate the method for synthesizing single-atom catalysts will be discussed.     

Single Atoms of Iron on MoS2 Nanosheets for N2 Electroreduction into Ammonia

Efforts have been devoted to achieving a highly efficient artificial synthesis of ammonia (NH₃). Reported herein is a novel Fe-MoS₂ catalyst with Fe atomically dispersed onto MoS₂ nanosheets, imitating natural nitrogenase, to boost N₂ electroreduction into NH₃ at room temperature. The Fe-MoS₂ nanosheets exhibited a faradic efficiency of 18.8 % with a yield rate of 8.63 μg mg_cat.⁻¹ h⁻¹ for NH₃ at −0.3 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode. The mechanism study revealed that the electroreduction of N₂ was promoted and the competing hydrogen evolution reaction was suppressed by decorating the edge sites of S in MoS₂ with the atomically dispersed Fe, resulting in high catalytic performance for the electroreduction of N₂ into NH₃. This work provides new ideas for the design of catalysts for N₂ electroreduction and strengthens the understanding about N₂ activation over Mo-based catalysts.     

Synergistic Ir/Cu Catalysis for Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation of Oxindoles: Enantio- and Diastereoselective Construction of Quaternary and Tertiary Stereocenters

3,3-Disubstituted oxindoles bearing quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers are privileged structural motifs, which widely exist in pharmaceutical and natural products. Herein, a highly regio-, enantio-, and diastereoselective allylic alkylation of 3-alkyl oxindoles through synergistic iridium and copper catalysis is described, which provides a series of 3,3-disubstituted oxindole derivatives containing adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers in excellent yields, enantiomeric excess, and diastereomeric ratio (for 30 examples, up to 97 % yield, >99 % ee, and >20 : 1 dr). This method provides exclusive branched selectivity, excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities, and good functional compatibility. Control experiments suggested that the chiral copper catalyst is required for achieving high reactivities and diastereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions.     

Single Chromium Atoms Supported on Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles for Synergic Catalytic Methane Conversion under Mild Conditions

Direct conversion of methane to value‐added chemicals with high selectivity under mild conditions remains a great challenge in catalysis. Now, single chromium atoms supported on titanium dioxide nanoparticles are reported as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for direct methane oxidation to C1 oxygenated products with H₂O₂ as oxidant under mild conditions. The highest yield for C1 oxygenated products can be reached as 57.9 mol mol_Cr^?1 with selectivity of around 93 % at 50 °C for 20 h, which is significantly higher than those of most reported catalysts. The superior catalytic performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect between single Cr atoms and TiO₂ support. Combining catalytic kinetics, electron paramagnetic resonance, and control experiment results, the methane conversion mechanism was proposed as a methyl radical pathway to form CH₃OH and CH₃OOH first, and then the generated CH₃OH is further oxidized to HOCH₂OOH and HCOOH.     

MnOx/g-C3N4光热协同催化净化NO的性能增强和反应机理

许多研究表明, MnOx和g-C3N4均有催化氧化NO的活性, 并且探索了它们各自的转化机理. 然而, MnOx/g-C3N4复合材料的光热催化机理仍然是一个未解决的问题. 我们通过室温沉淀法直接合成不同摩尔比的MnOx/g-C3N4, 并发现其表现出良好的光热协同催化氧化NO的性能. MnOx/g-C3N4催化剂在g-C3N4表面含有不同价态的MnOx. 通过原位红外光谱在60 ℃下研究了紫外-可见光诱导的MnOx热催化NO的机理以及MnOx/g-C3N4光热协同催化NO的机理. 结果表明, 光照对MnOx热催化NO的过程几乎没有影响, 但对MnOx/g-C3N4光热协同催化NO产生积极作用并且形成重要的催化循环机制. 具体过程是光生电子(e-)转移到MnOx上参与光热协同的还原循环(Mn4+→Mn3+→Mn2+), 且低价Mn离子易给出电子(e-)与光生空穴(h+)相结合而诱导逆向的循环(Mn2+→Mn3+→Mn4+), 使活性氧空位再生. 通过MnOx(Mn4+/Mn3+/Mn2+)变价而产生的活性氧(O-)可将中间产物(NOH和N2O2-)氧化为终产物(NO2-和NO3-). 这将为开发更好的净化NOx的催化剂提供重要的指导意义. XRD表征结果表明, MnOx/g-C3N4复合催化剂的结晶度较低. TEM和XPS表征结果表明, g-C3N4表面含有多种低结晶度的MnOx, 主要含有MnO, MnO2和Mn2O3. 此外, 通过对比MnOx和1:5 MnOx/g-C3N4催化净化NO的XPS结果, 发现反应后的MnOx含有大量Mn-Nitrate且Mn3+和Mn4+大幅度减少; 同时, 反应前后1:5 MnOx/g-C3N4的Mn2+, Mn3+和Mn4+的含量变化微弱. BET-BJH测试结果显示, MnOx/g-C3N4复合催化剂的比表面积和孔容均高于纯g-C3N4. UV-Vis DRS测试结果显示, MnOx/g-C3N4复合催化剂显示了良好的可见光吸收能力. 紫外-可见光催化去除NO的测试结果表明, 1:5 MnOx/g-C3N4(44%)的光催化活性明显高于MnOx(28%)和g-C3N4(36%). ESR测试结果表明, 参与反应的主要活性物种为·O2-自由基. EPR测试结果表明, 1:5 MnOx/g-C3N4的氧空位明显多于MnOx, 丰富的活性氧空位更有利于电子的迁移且促进Mnn+(n = 2, 3和4)的变价而诱导O2分子形成活性氧(O-). 以上结果清晰地表明1:5 MnOx/g-C3N4表现出不同的理化特性.可见光催化氧化NO的原位红外光谱表明, 光照前后MnOx催化氧化NO的过程没有明显的变化, 表明其属于典型的热催化过程, 综合上述表征结果发现MnOx的氧缺陷是Mnn+(n = 3和4)变价的活性位点, 可诱导O2产生活性氧催化氧化NO为硝酸盐吸附在MnOx上; 光照前后1:5 MnOx/g-C3N4催化氧化NO的过程有明显不同, 光照前主要表现为g-C3N4表面MnOx的热催化过程, 而光照后1:5 MnOx/g-C3N4为光热协同催化NO的过程. 具体过程是g-C3N4的光生电子(e-)转移到MnOx上参与光热协同的还原循环(Mn4+→Mn3+→Mn2+), 且低价Mn离子易给出电子(e-)与光生空穴(h+)相结合而诱导逆向的循环(Mn2+→Mn3+→Mn4+)使活性氧空位再生. 通过MnOx(Mn4+/Mn3+/Mn2+)变价而产生的活性氧(O-)可将中间产物(NOH和N2O2-)氧化为终产物(NO2-和NO3-).     

Catalysis by Using TiO2 Nanoparticles and Nanotubes

TiO2 has attracted considerable attention due to its stability, non-toxicity, low cost, and great potential for use as a photocatalyst in environmental applications. Since strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) of titania-supported noble metals was first reported in 1978, titania supported catalyst has been intensively studied in heterogeneous catalysis. However, the effective catalytic activity was restricted due to the low surface area of TiO2. Recently, TiO2-based nanotubes were extensively investigated because of their potentials in many areas such as highly efficient photocatalysis and hydrogen sensor.In the present study, formation of titanium oxide (TiO2) nanotubes was carried out by hydrothermal method, with TiO2 nanoparticle-powders immersed in concentrated NaOH solution in an autoclave at 110 ℃. Preparation of nano-size Pt on TiO2-nanoparticles or TiO2-nanotubes was performed by photochemical deposition method with UV irradiation on an aqueous solution containing TiO2 and hexachloroplatinic acid or tetrachloroauric acid. The TEM micrographs show that TiO2-nanotubes exhibit ～300 nm in length with an inner diameter of ～ 6 nm and the wall thickness of ～ 2 nm, and homogeneous nanosize Pt particles (～ 2 nm) were well-dispersed on both nanoparticle- and nanotube- titania supports. It also shows the nanotube morphology was retained up2o n Pt-immobilization. Nitrogen adsorption isotherm at 77K resulted a high surface area (～ 200m/g) of TiO2-nanotubes, which is about 40 times greater than that of "mother" TiO2 nanoparticles (～5 m/g). All the spectroscopic results exhibited that the nanotube structure was not significantly affected by the immobilized Pt particles. Ti K-edge XANES spectra of TiO2 nanotube and Pt/TiO2-nanotube represent that most titanium are in a tetrahedral coordination with few retained in the octahedral structure.In the in-situ FT-IR experiments, an IR cell was evacuated to a pressure of 10-5 torr at room temperature as soon as the catalyst-pellet, Pt/TiO2 or Pt/TiO2-nanotube, was placed inside the cell.Then, 60 torr of hydrogen was introduced into the cell and subsequently the temperature was programmed to increase from room temperature to 300℃ at a constant heating rate of 5℃/min.For Pt/TiO2, an IR peak at 2083 em-1 started to appear at 200℃ with a maximum intensity at 250℃ and then decreasing as temperature increased. The 2083 em-1 IR peak corresponds to the linearly adsorption of CO on the well-dispersed Pt sites. Simultaneously, the IR bands of gaseous methane at 3016 em-1 started to appear at 225℃ and the peak intensity increased with temperature. The results reveal that Pt/TiO2 can adsorb gaseous CO2 and further catalyzes the reduction of CO2 by H2 through the intermediate CO, which further produces gaseous methane. While for the Pt/TiO2-nanotube catalyst, methane was produced at relatively low temperature, 100℃, and it catalyzed the direct conversion of CO2 to CH4. The absence of intermediate CO-adsorption signals durinng the temperature programmed process indicates that the prepared TiO2 nanotube-supported nanosize Pt possesses a potent capability for CO2 adsorption and highly catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of CO2, and was superior to the conventional Pt/TiO2 catalyst. The catalytic activity of Pt/TiO2-nanotube was indeed significantly enhanced by the high surface area of TiO2-nanotubes.Details will be discussed.

Synergistic Nitrogen Binding Sites in a Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient N2/O2 Separation

Porous materials with d₃ electronic configuration open metal sites have been proved to be effective adsorbents for N₂ capture and N₂/O₂ separation. However, the reported materials remain challenging to address the trade-off between adsorption capacity and selectivity. Herein, we report a robust MOF, MIL-102Cr, that features two binding sites, can synergistically afford strong interactions for N₂ capture. The synergistic adsorption site exhibits a benchmark Q_st of 45.0 kJ mol⁻¹ for N₂ among the Cr-based MOFs, a record-high volumetric N₂ uptake (31.38 cm³ cm⁻³), and highest N₂/O₂ selectivity (13.11) at 298 K and 1.0 bar. Breakthrough experiments reveal that MIL-102Cr can efficiently capture N₂ from a 79/21 N₂/O₂ mixture, providing a record 99.99 % pure O₂ productivity of 0.75 mmol g⁻¹. In situ infrared spectroscopy and computational modelling studies revealed that a synergistic adsorption effect by open Cr(III) and fluorine sites was accountable for the strong interactions between the MOF and N₂.
