On-demand Hydrogen Production from Organosilanes at Ambient Temperature Using Heterogeneous Gold Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: An environmentally friendly ("green"), H₂-generation system was developed that involved hydrolytic oxidation of inexpensive organosilanes as hydrogen storage materials with newly developed heterogeneous gold nanoparticle catalysts. The gold catalyst functioned well at ambient temperature under aerobic conditions, providing efficient production of pure H₂. The newly developed size-selective gold nanoparticle catalysts could be separated easily from the reaction mixture containing organosilanes, allowing an on/off-switchable H₂-production by the introduction and removal of the catalyst. This is the first report of an on/off-switchable H₂-production system employing hydrolytic oxidation of inexpensive organosilanes without requiring additional energy.

Ultrafine nanoporous intermetallic catalysts by high-temperature liquid metal dealloying for electrochemical hydrogen production.

Project description:Intermetallic compounds formed from non-precious transition metals are promising cost-effective and robust catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen production. However, the development of monolithic nanoporous intermetallics, with ample active sites and sufficient electrocatalytic activity, remains a challenge. Here we report the fabrication of nanoporous Co7Mo6 and Fe7Mo6 intermetallic compounds via liquid metal dealloying. Along with the development of three-dimensional bicontinuous open porosity, high-temperature dealloying overcomes the kinetic energy barrier, enabling the direct formation of chemically ordered intermetallic phases. Unprecedented small characteristic lengths are observed for the nanoporous intermetallic compounds, resulting from an intermetallic effect whereby the chemical ordering during nanopore formation lowers surface diffusivity and significantly suppresses the thermal coarsening of dealloyed nanostructure. The resulting ultrafine nanoporous Co7Mo6 exhibits high catalytic activity and durability in electrochemical hydrogen evolution reactions. This study sheds light on the previously unexplored intermetallic effect in dealloying and facilitates the development of advanced intermetallic catalysts for energy applications.

Hydrogen production via thermocatalytic decomposition of methane using carbon-based catalysts.

Project description:Thermocatalytic decomposition (TCD) of methane is one of the most effective methods for pure hydrogen production. Catalysts were selected for TCD of methane in this study to utilize biochar as a catalyst. Among these catalysts, two catalysts (named activated biochar (AB) and heat-treated biochar (HB)) were prepared from Douglas fir, whereas the other four were prepared using commercial activated carbon and zeolite with and without doping ruthenium metal. The catalysts were characterized using XRD, SEM imaging, TEM, H2-TPR, and BET specific surface area and pore size analysis. The Ru doped commercial activated carbon catalyst (Ru-AC) was deactivated continuously during a 60 h reaction run, whereas AB exhibited comparatively stable methane conversion up to 60 h. The methane conversion was 21% for Ru-AC and 51% for AB after 60 h of reaction time at 800 °C. The very high surface area of AB (∼3250 m2 g-1) and its microporosity compared to other catalysts could have resulted in resistance against rapid deactivation. Furthermore, carbon nanotube by-products were observed in TEM images of solid residues that could form due to the presence of alkali metals in the biochar. Carbon nanotube formation could contribute significantly to the extended life of AB.

Mechanism of the Transmetalation of Organosilanes to Gold.

Project description:Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to study the reaction mechanism of the first transmetalation of organosilanes to gold as a cheap fluoride-free process. The versatile gold(I) complex [Au(OH)(IPr)] permits very straightforward access to a series of aryl-, vinyl-, and alkylgold silanolates by reaction with the appropriate silane reagent. These silanolate compounds are key intermediates in a fluoride-free process that results in the net transmetalation of organosilanes to gold, rather than the classic activation of silanes as silicates using external fluoride sources. However, here we propose that the gold silanolate is not the active species (as proposed during experimental studies) but is, in fact, a resting state during the transmetalation process, as a concerted step is preferred.

Solar-Driven Hydrogen Peroxide Production Using Polymer-Supported Carbon Dots as Heterogeneous Catalyst.

Project description:Safe, sustainable, and green production of hydrogen peroxide is an exciting proposition due to the role of hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant and energy carrier for fuel cells. The current work reports the development of carbon dot-impregnated waterborne hyperbranched polyurethane as a heterogeneous photo-catalyst for solar-driven production of hydrogen peroxide. The results reveal that the carbon dots possess a suitable band-gap of 2.98 eV, which facilitates effective splitting of both water and ethanol under solar irradiation. Inclusion of the carbon dots within the eco-friendly polymeric material ensures their catalytic activity and also provides a facile route for easy catalyst separation, especially from a solubilizing medium. The overall process was performed in accordance with the principles of green chemistry using bio-based precursors and aqueous medium. This work highlights the potential of carbon dots as an effective photo-catalyst.

Graphene Bridge for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution with Gold Nanocluster Co-Catalysts.

Project description:Herein, the UV light photocatalytic activity of an Au101NC-AlSrTiO3-rGO nanocomposite comprising 1 wt% rGO, 0.05 wt% Au101(PPh3)21Cl5 (Au101NC), and AlSrTiO3 evaluated for H2 production. The synthesis of Au101NC-AlSrTiO3-rGO nanocomposite followed two distinct routes: (1) Au101NC was first mixed with AlSrTiO3 followed by the addition of rGO (Au101NC-AlSrTiO3:rGO) and (2) Au101NC was first mixed with rGO followed by the addition of AlSrTiO3 (Au101NC-rGO:AlSrTiO3). Both prepared samples were annealed in air at 210 °C for 15 min. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy showed that the Au101NC adhered almost exclusively to the rGO in the nanocomposite and maintained a size less than 2 nm. Under UV light irradiation, the Au101NC-AlSrTiO3:rGO nanocomposite produced H2 at a rate 12 times greater than Au101NC-AlSrTiO3 and 64 times greater than AlSrTiO3. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is attributed to the small particle size and high loading of Au101NC, which is achieved by non-covalent binding to rGO. These results show that significant improvements can be made to AlSrTiO3-based photocatalysts that use cluster co-catalysts by the addition of rGO as an electron mediator to achieve high cluster loading and limited agglomeration of the clusters.

Metal dichalcogenides monolayers: novel catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen production.

Project description:Catalyst-driven electrolysis of water is considered as a "cleanest" way for hydrogen production. Finding cheap and abundant catalysts is critical to the large-scale implementation of the technology. Two-dimensional metal dichalcogenides nanostructures have attracted increasing attention because of their catalytic performances in water electrolysis. In this work, we systematically investigate the hydrogen evolution reduction of metal dichalcogenides monolayers based on density-functional-theory calculations. We find that metal disulfide monolayers show better catalytic performance on hydrogen production than other metal dichalcogenides. We show that their hydrogen evolution reduction strongly depends on the hydrogen coverage and the catalytic performance reduces with the increment of coverage because of hydrogenation-induced lower conductivity. We further show that the catalytic performance of vanadium disulfide monolayer is comparable to that of Pt at lower hydrogen coverage and the performance at higher coverage can be improved by hybridizing with conducting nanomaterials to enhance conductivity. These metal disulfide monolayers with lower overpotentials may apply to water electrolysis for hydrogen production.

Comparison of Iridium(I) Catalysts in Temperature Mediated Hydrogen Isotope Exchange Reactions.

Project description:The reactivity and selectivity of iridium(I) catalysed hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) reactions can be varied by using wide range of reaction temperatures. Herein, we have done a detailed comparison study with common iridium(I) catalysts (1-6) which will help us to understand and optimize the approaches of either high selectivity or maximum deuterium incorporation. We have demonstrated that the temperature window for these studied iridium(I) catalysts is surprisingly very broad. This principle was further proven in some HIE reactions on complex drug molecules.

A hydrogen peroxide economizer for on-demand oxygen production-assisted robust sonodynamic immunotherapy.

Project description:The outcome of sonodynamic immunotherapy is significantly limited by tumor hypoxia. To overcome this obstacle, one common solution is to catalyze the conversion of endogenous H2O2 into O2. However, the effectiveness of this strategy is limited by the insufficient concentration of H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we developed a H2O2 economizer for on-demand O2 supply and sonosensitizer-mediated reactive oxygen species production during ultrasound activation, thereby alleviating hypoxia-associated limitations and augmenting the efficacy of sonodynamic immunotherapy. Methods: The H2O2 economizer is constructed by electrostatic adsorption and π-π interactions between the Fe-doped polydiaminopyridine (Fe-PDAP) nanozyme and chlorin e6. By employing a biomimetic engineering strategy with cancer cell membranes, we addressed the premature leakage issue and increased tumor-site accumulation of nanoparticles (membrane-coated Fe-PDAP/Ce6, MFC). Results: The prepared MFC could significantly attenuate the catalytic activity of Fe-PDAP by reducing their contact with H2O2. Ultrasound irradiation promoted MFC dissociation and the exposure of Fe-PDAP for a more robust O2 supply. Moreover, the combination of MFC-enhanced sonodynamic therapy with anti-programmed cell death protein-1 antibody (aPD-1) immune checkpoint blockade induced a strong antitumor response against both primary tumors and distant tumors. Conclusion: This as-prepared H2O2 economizer significantly alleviates tumor hypoxia via reducing H2O2 expenditure and that on-demand oxygen-elevated sonodynamic immunotherapy can effectively combat tumors.

Hydrogen Production by Steam Reforming of Ethanol over Nickel Catalysts Supported on Sol Gel Made Alumina: Influence of Calcination Temperature on Supports.

Project description:Selecting a proper support in the catalyst system plays an important role in hydrogen production via ethanol steam reforming. In this study, sol gel made alumina supports prepared for nickel (Ni) catalysts were calcined at different temperatures. A series of (Ni/AlS.G.) catalysts were synthesized by an impregnation procedure. The influence of varying the calcination temperature of the sol gel made supports on catalyst activity was tested in ethanol reforming reaction. The characteristics of the sol gel alumina supports and Ni catalysts were affected by the calcination temperature of the supports. The structure of the sol gel made alumina supports was transformed in the order of γ → (γ + θ) → θ-alumina as the calcination temperature of the supports increased from 600 °C to 1000 °C. Both hydrogen yield and ethanol conversion presented a volcano-shaped behavior with maximum values of 4.3 mol/mol ethanol fed and 99.5%, respectively. The optimum values were exhibited over Ni/AlS.G800 (Ni catalyst supported on sol gel made alumina calcined at 800 °C). The high performance of the Ni/AlS.G800 catalyst may be attributed to the strong interaction of Ni species and sol gel made alumina which lead to high nickel dispersion and small particle size.
