Graphene-hemin hybrid material as effective catalyst for selective oxidation of primary C-H bond in toluene

ABSTRACT: An effective hemin catalyst on graphene support for selective oxidation of primary C-H bond in toluene is reported with an over 50% conversion rate achieved at mild conditions. Significantly this hybrid material shows catalytic efficiency in toluene oxidation with selectivity towards benzoic acid. The role of graphene support is discussed here as providing large contact area between the catalyst and the substrate, maintaining hemin in catalytically active monomer form, attracting electron to promote site isolation, as well as protecting hemin from oxidative degradation during the reaction. Moreover, graphene is suggested to largely alter the final product selectivity, due to the different ?-? interaction strength between the graphene support and the substrate/oxidized products. With longer reaction time, overall conversion rate tends to maintain relatively unchanged while toluene undergoes a series of oxidation to convert mostly to benzoic acid.

A platinum promoted Ag/SBA-15 catalyst effective in selective oxidation of methanol - design and surface characterization.

Project description:The aim of this study was better understanding of surface properties of bimetallic (silver-platinum) catalysts and to verify if a very small addition of platinum (ca. 0.05 wt%) to silver (ca. 2.0 wt%) loaded on ordered mesoporous silica, SBA-15, would improve the catalytic properties of bimetallic Ag-Pt materials in selective oxidation of methanol to methyl formate. Ag-Pt catalysts were prepared by one-step and step-by-step procedures and the final Ag/Pt molar ratio in the respective samples was equal to 86 and 63. The catalysts were characterized after calcination and different activation treatments (in Ar and O2). X-ray diffraction, UV-vis and XP spectroscopy confirmed the lack of Ag-Pt alloy crystallites in the samples and also evidenced a higher resistance of silver oxide species to reduction upon activation in Ar flow in the presence of platinum promoter interacting with silver species. Methanol oxidation over the samples activated in Ar flow and in oxidizing flow (O2 + Ar) helped identify the role of each component in the bimetallic Ag-Pt catalyst in terms of activity and selectivity in the oxidation of methanol to methyl formate. A highly active bimetallic Pt/Ag/SBA-15 catalyst, selective to methyl formate and stable in methanol oxidation was constructed.

Catalytic oxidation of toluene, ethyl acetate and chlorobenzene over Ag/MnO2-cordierite molded catalyst.

Project description:Multi-structured Ag/MnO2-cordierite molded catalysts were prepared by hydrothermal method and applied to the catalytic oxidation of VOCs. Catalytic activities of Ag/MnO2-cordierite were evaluated by 1000 ppm of toluene, ethyl acetate and chlorobenzene degradation respectively at the air atmosphere, and their physicochemical properties were characterized through multiple techniques containing XRD, SEM, TEM, H2-TPR and XPS. It is found that nanorod Ag/MnO2-cordierite molded catalyst showed prominent catalytic activity for VOCs decomposition and the T90 for toluene, ethyl acetate and chlorobenzene are 275?°C, 217?°C and 385?°C respectively under the space velocity of 10,000 h-1. High valence manganese oxide, more active lattice oxygen proportion and superior low-temperature reducibility were the great contributors to the high activity of the catalyst with nanorod morphology. Studies of space velocity and catalytic stability over nanorod Ag/MnO2-cordierite molded catalyst have confirmed the good catalytic performance, excellent mechanical strength and satisfied anti-toxicity to Cl at higher space velocity, which indicates that this molded catalyst have promise for industrial application.

Cobalt-Graphene Catalyst for Selective Hydrodeoxygenation of Guaiacol to Cyclohexanol.

Project description:Herein, cobalt-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) catalyst was synthesized with a practical impregnation-calcination approach for the selective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol to cyclohexanol. The synthesized Co/rGO was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-angle annular dark-field scanning TEM (HAADF-STEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) analysis. According to the comprehensive characterization results, the catalyst contains single Co atoms in the graphene matrix and Co oxide nanoparticles (CoOx) on the graphene surface. The isolated Co atoms embedded in the rGO matrix form stable metal carbides (CoCx), which constitute catalytically active sites for hydrogenation. The rGO material with proper amounts of N heteroatoms and lattice defects becomes a suitable graphene material for fabricating the catalyst. The Co/rGO catalyst without prereduction treatment leads to the complete conversion of guaiacol with 93.2% selectivity to cyclohexanol under mild conditions. The remarkable HDO capability of the Co/rGO catalyst is attributed to the unique metal-acid synergy between the CoCx sites and the acid sites of the CoOx nanoparticles. The CoCx sites provide H while the acid sites of CoOx nanoparticles bind the C-O group of reactants to the surface, allowing easier C-O scission. The reaction pathways were characterized based on the observed reaction-product distributions. The effects of the process parameters on catalyst preparation and the HDO reaction, as well as the reusability of the catalyst, were systematically investigated.

Graphene Oxide Foam Supported Titanium(IV): Recoverable Heterogeneous Catalyst for Efficient, Selective Oxidation of Arylalkyl Sulfides to Sulfoxides Under Mild Conditions.

Project description:An efficient and environmentally friendly method was designed for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with a recyclable, carbon-skeleton-based heterogeneous catalyst developed by titanium sulfate [Ti(SO4)2] mineralization on the surface of graphene oxide foam [Ti(SO4)2@GOF] by using 30 wt% H2O2 as oxidant. Several different substituted sulfides were examined to explore the scope of substrates of the selective oxidation. The excellent reusability and durability of Ti(SO4)2@GOF was demonstrated by recycling experiments and the catalyst was further applied in the preparation of pantoprazole sodium in a one-pot process.

Ultrasensitive Ethene Detector Based on a Graphene-Copper(I) Hybrid Material.

Project description:Ethene is a highly diffusive and relatively unreactive gas that induces aging responses in plants in concentrations as low as parts per billion. Monitoring concentrations of ethene is critically important for transport and storage of food crops, necessitating the development of a new generation of ultrasensitive detectors. Here we show that by functionalizing graphene with copper complexes biologically relevant concentrations of ethene and of the spoilage marker ethanol can be detected. Importantly, in addition these sensors provide us with important insights into the interactions between molecules, a key concept in chemistry. Chemically induced dipole fluctuations in molecules as they undergo a chemical reaction are harvested in an elegant way through subtle field effects in graphene. By exploiting changes in the dipole moments of molecules that occur upon a chemical reaction we are able to track the reaction and provide mechanistic insight that was, until now, out of reach.

Hybrid FeNiOOH/?-Fe2O3/Graphene Photoelectrodes with Advanced Water Oxidation Performance.

Project description:In this study, the photoelectrochemical behavior of electrodeposited FeNiOOH/Fe2O3/graphene nanohybrid electrodes is investigated, which has precisely controlled structure and composition. The photoelectrode assembly is designed in a bioinspired manner where each component has its own function: Fe2O3 is responsible for the absorption of light, the graphene framework for proper charge carrier transport, while the FeNiOOH overlayer for facile water oxidation. The effect of each component on the photoelectrochemical behavior is studied by linear sweep photovoltammetry, incident photon-to-charge carrier conversion efficiency measurements, and long-term photoelectrolysis. 2.6 times higher photocurrents are obtained for the best-performing FeNiOOH/Fe2O3/graphene system compared to its pristine Fe2O3 counterpart. Transient absorption spectroscopy measurements reveal an increased hole-lifetime in the case of the Fe2O3/graphene samples. Long-term photoelectrolysis measurements in combination with Raman spectroscopy, however, prove that the underlying nanocarbon framework is corroded by the photogenerated holes. This issue is tackled by the electrodeposition of a thin FeNiOOH overlayer, which rapidly accepts the photogenerated holes from Fe2O3, thus eliminating the pathway leading to the corrosion of graphene.

Reversible Structural Isomerization of Nature's Water Oxidation Catalyst Prior to O-O Bond Formation.

Project description:Photosynthetic water oxidation is catalyzed by a manganese-calcium oxide cluster, which experiences five "S-states" during a light-driven reaction cycle. The unique "distorted chair"-like geometry of the Mn4CaO5(6) cluster shows structural flexibility that has been frequently proposed to involve "open" and "closed"-cubane forms from the S1 to S3 states. The isomers are interconvertible in the S1 and S2 states, while in the S3 state, the open-cubane structure is observed to dominate inThermosynechococcus elongatus (cyanobacteria) samples. In this work, using density functional theory calculations, we go beyond the S3+Yz state to the S3nYz• → S4+Yz step, and report for the first time that the reversible isomerism, which is suppressed in the S3+Yz state, is fully recovered in the ensuing S3nYz• state due to the proton release from a manganese-bound water ligand. The altered coordination strength of the manganese-ligand facilitates formation of the closed-cubane form, in a dynamic equilibrium with the open-cubane form. This tautomerism immediately preceding dioxygen formation may constitute the rate limiting step for O2 formation, and exert a significant influence on the water oxidation mechanism in photosystem II.

Efficient Photo-Assisted Thermal Selective Oxidation of Toluene Using N-Doped TiO<sub>2</sub>.

Project description:Selective oxidation of toluene is a key reaction to produce high value-added products but remains a big challenge. In this study, we introduce a nitrogen-doped TiO2 (N-TiO2) catalyst to create more Ti3+ and oxygen vacancy (OV), which act as active sites for selective oxidation of toluene via activating O2 to superoxide radical (•O2-). Interestingly, the resulting N-TiO2-2 exhibited an outstanding photo-assisted thermal performance with a product yield of 209.6 mmol·gcat-1 and a toluene conversion of 10960.0 μmol·gcat-1·h-1, which are 1.6 and 1.8 times greater than those obtained under thermal catalysis. We showed that the enhanced performance under photo-assisted thermal catalysis was attributed to more active species generation by making full use of photogenerated carriers. Our work suggests a viewpoint to apply a noble-metal-free TiO2 system in the selective oxidation of toluene under solvent-free conditions.
