Ultrasonic-assisted preparation of ultrafine Pd nanocatalysts loaded on Cl−-intercalated MgAl layered double hydroxides for the catalytic dehydrogenation of dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole

N-ethylcarbazole/dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole (NEC/H12-NEC) is a promising LOHC, and the development of a catalyst with high activity and stability is the key to realizing its reversible hydrogen storage process. In this paper, ultrafine Pd nanocrystalline catalysts (Pd/LDHs-us) supported on Cl^--intercalated MgAl LDHs were prepared by a simple ultrasonic-assisted reduction method and applied in the dehydrogenation of 12H-NEC. In the process of ultrasonic-assisted reduction, the instantaneous high temperature generated by cavitation decomposed part of the CO₃^2– in LDHs interlayer, and promoted PdCl₄^2- to enter the interlayer and become new intercalated ions. At the same time, hydroxyl groups on the surface of LDHs were excited to generate hydrogen radicals (•H) with strong reducibility, which reduced PdCl₄^2- to Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) in situ. The remaining Cl^- ions continued to exist in the interlayer as intercalated ions. The agglomeration of PdNPs was effectively inhibited, and the average particle size was 1.8 nm, which was uniformly dispersed on LDHs, which improved the catalytic activity of Pd/LDHs-us. The coordination between PdNPs and oxygen in the hydroxyl groups on the surface of LDHs improved its catalytic stability. Using Pd/LDHs-us catalyst, the conversion rate of H12-NEC was 100.0 %, and the dehydrogenation efficiency was 99.3 % at 180℃. When the reaction temperature drops to 170℃, the dehydrogenation efficiency can still reach 94.6 %, showing excellent catalytic performance. The study of dehydrogenation kinetics shows that the apparent activation energy of Pd/LDHs-us catalyst is only 90.97 kJ/mol. This provides a new method and idea for the preparation of efficient dehydrogenation catalysts in the future.     

Effect of aluminum modification on catalytic properties of PtSn-based catalysts supported on SBA-15 for propane dehydrogenation

The catalytic properties of PtSn-based catalysts supported on siliceous SBA-15 and Al-modified SBA-15, such as Al-incorporated SBA-15 (AlSBA-15) and alumina-modified SBA-15 (Al2O3/SBA-15), for propane dehydrogenation were investigated. Al2O3/SBA-15 was prepared either by an impregnation method using aluminum nitrate aqueous solution, or by the treatment of SBA-15 with a Al(OC3H7)3 solution in anhydrous toluene. N2-physisorption, FT-IR spectroscopy, solid-state 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy, hydrogen chemisorption, XRF, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and TPO were used to characterize these samples. Among these catalysts, the PtSn-based catalyst supported on Al2O3/SBA-15, which was grafted with Al(OC3H7)3, exhibited the best catalytic performance in terms of activity and stability The possible reason was due to the high Pt metal dispersion and/or the strong interactions among Pt, Sn, and the support.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over Ni-Mo-Mg-O catalysts

In this work, a series of Ni-Mo-Mg-O catalysts with mesoporous structure prepared by sol-gel method were investigated for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP). The techniques of temperature-programmed reduction with H2 (H2-TPR), N2 adsorption-desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were employed for catalyst characterization. It is found that the activity of the catalysts for ODHP increases first and then decreases with the increase of Mo content. The catalyst with a Mo/Ni atomic ratio of 1/1 exhibits the best catalytic activity, which gives the propene selectivity of 81.4% at a propane conversion of 11.3% under 600°C and maintains the good catalytic performance for 22 h on stream. This is related not only to its high reducibility and dispersion as revealed by TPR and XRD, but also to the formation of more selective oxygen species on the MoOx-NiO interface as identified by XPS.     

CH4 dissociation on Co（0001）: A density functional theory study

CH4 dissociation on Co(0001) surfaces is an important step, which has been investigated at the level of density functional theory. It is found that CH4 is unfavorable to adsorb on Co(0001), while CH4 favores to dissociate to CH3, CH2 and CH on Co(0001) surface by sequential dehydrogenation. In the whole process of CH4 dehydrogenation, CH4 dissociate to CH3 and H is the rate-determining step. The calculated results show that CH2 and CH exist mainly on Co(0001) surface, while the dehydrogenation of CH into C and H is difficult.     

Mechanistic Studies on the Gas‐Phase Dehydrogenation of Alkanes at Cyclometalated Platinum Complexes

In the ion/molecule reactions of the cyclometalated platinum complexes [Pt(L? H)]⁺ (L=2,2′‐bipyridine (bipy), 2‐phenylpyridine (phpy), and 7,8‐benzoquinoline (bq)) with linear and branched alkanes C_nH_2n+2 (n=2–4), the main reaction channels correspond to the eliminations of dihydrogen and the respective alkenes in varying ratios. For all three couples [Pt(L? H)]⁺/C₂H₆, loss of C₂H₄ dominates clearly over H₂ elimination; however, the mechanisms significantly differs for the reactions of the “rollover”‐cyclometalated bipy complex and the classically cyclometalated phpy and bq complexes. While double hydrogen‐atom transfer from C₂H₆ to [Pt(bipy? H)]⁺, followed by ring rotation, gives rise to the formation of [Pt(H)(bipy)]⁺, for the phpy and bq complexes [Pt(L? H)]⁺, the cyclometalated motif is conserved; rather, according to DFT calculations, formation of [Pt(L? H)(H₂)]⁺ as the ionic product accounts for C₂H₄ liberation. In the latter process, [Pt(L? H)(H₂)(C₂H₄)]⁺ (that carries H₂ trans to the nitrogen atom of the heterocyclic ligand) serves, according to DFT calculation, as a precursor from which, due to the electronic peculiarities of the cyclometalated ligand, C₂H₄ rather than H₂ is ejected. For both product‐ion types, [Pt(H)(bipy)]⁺ and [Pt(L? H)(H₂)]⁺ (L=phpy, bq), H₂ loss to close a catalytic dehydrogenation cycle is feasible. In the reactions of [Pt(bipy? H)]⁺ with the higher alkanes C_nH_2n+2 (n=3, 4), H₂ elimination dominates over alkene formation; most probably, this observation is a consequence of the generation of allyl complexes, such as [Pt(C₃H₅)(bipy)]⁺. In the reactions of [Pt(L? H)]⁺ (L=phpy, bq) with propane and n‐butane, the losses of the alkenes and dihydrogen are of comparable intensities. While in the reactions of “rollover”‐cyclometalated [Pt(bipy? H)]⁺ with C_nH_2n+2 (n=2–4) less than 15 % of the generated product ions are formed by C? C bond‐cleavage processes, this value is about 60 % for the reaction with neo‐pentane. The result that C? C bond cleavage gains in importance for this substrate is a consequence of the fact that 1,2‐elimination of two hydrogen atoms is no option; this observation may suggest that in the reactions with the smaller alkanes, 1,1‐ and 1,3‐elimination pathways are only of minor importance.

Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Ethane to Ethylene over LiCl/MnOx/PC Catalysts

The catalytic stability of LiCl/MnO_x/PC catalyst have been investigated, the deactivation mechanism was discussed. The experimental results show that ethane conversion decreases and ethylene selectivity keeps about 90% as reaction time increases. The main deactivation reasons of LiCl/MnO_x/PC catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODHE) to ethylene are the transition of active species Mn₂O₃ to MnO species and the loss of active component Cl in catalyst. Instead of ethane with FCC tailed‐gas, the stability of LiCl/MnO_x/PC catalyst has been largely improved.
