Ultrathin Nanosheet of Graphdiyne-Supported Palladium Atom Catalyst for Efficient Hydrogen Production.

ABSTRACT: Atomic catalysts are promising alternatives to bulk catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), because of their high atomic efficiencies, catalytic activities, and selectivities. Here, we report the ultrathin nanosheet of graphdiyne (GDY)-supported zero-valent palladium atoms and its direct application as a three-dimensional flexible hydrogen-evolving cathode. Our theoretical and experimental findings verified the successful anchoring of Pd⁰ to GDY and the excellent catalytic performance of Pd⁰/GDY. At a very low mass loading (0.2%: 1/100 of the 20 wt % Pt/C), Pd⁰/GDY required only 55 mV to reach 10 mA cm^-2 (smaller than 20 wt % Pt/C); it showed larger mass activity (61.5 A mg_metal^-1) and turnover frequency (16.7 s^-1) than 20 wt % Pt/C and long-term stability during 72 hr of continuous electrolysis. The unusual electrocatalytic properties of Pd⁰/GDY originate from its unique and precise structure and valence state, resulting in reliable performance as an HER catalyst.

Facile Recoverable and Reusable Macroscopic Alumina Supported Ni-based Catalyst for Efficient Hydrogen Production.

Project description:A ?-NA5 catalyst in the form of pellet was first to be reported and was pioneering in gasification to accelerate the production of syngas through biomass (palm empty fruit brunch) conversion. The synthesised ?-NA5 pellet possesses a high surface area of 212.32 m2?g-1, which renders more active sites for hydrocarbon cracking, subsequently leading to high H2 production (0.0716 m3?kg-1). Additionally, the pellet exhibits remarkable reversibility and reusability with 91% H2 production efficiency being retained after five consecutive gasification cycles. Distinctively, the feature of the synthesised ?-NA5 pellet from the conventional powder-like catalyst is that it eases the separation of the used catalyst from the biomass ash, and subsequently facilitates regeneration solely by calcination process. The loading of 20 wt.% optimised amount of catalyst itself has successfully shorten the completion of gasification process up to 135?min, which is highly feasible for a large scale industrial usage after considering the cost of the catalyst, facile preparation method, and catalyst's effectiveness towards gasification.

A Palladium Catalyst Supported on Boron-Doped Porous Carbon for Efficient Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid.

Project description:Formic acid has emerged as a highly promising hydrogen storage material, and the development of efficient catalysts to facilitate its dehydrogenation remains imperative. In this study, a novel catalyst consisting of palladium nanoparticles supported on boron-doped porous carbon (Pd/BPC) was successfully synthesized to enable efficient hydrogen production through the dehydrogenation of formic acid. The impacts of the boron doping ratio, doping temperature, and palladium reduction temperature on the catalyst's performance were systemically investigated. The results demonstrated the Pd/BPC catalyst synthesized with a carbon-to-boron ratio of 1:5 by calcination at 900 °C and subsequent reduction at 60 °C exhibited superior formic acid dehydrogenation performance, being 2.9 and 3.8 times greater than that of the Pd/PC catalysts without boron doping and commercial Pd/C, respectively. Additionally, the catalyst showed excellent cycle stability with no significant activity reduction after five consecutive cycles. Experimental and theoretical results reveal that boron doping not only facilitates the homogenous distribution of Pd nanoparticles but also induces a stronger support-metal interaction, thereby reinforcing the catalytic performance. This research is expected to provide valuable insights into the economically viable and efficient production of environmentally friendly hydrogen energy.

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.

CoIn dual-atom catalyst for hydrogen peroxide production via oxygen reduction reaction in acid.

Project description:The two-electron oxygen reduction reaction in acid is highly attractive to produce H2O2, a commodity chemical vital in various industry and household scenarios, which is still hindered by the sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, both density function theory calculation and in-situ characterization demonstrate that in dual-atom CoIn catalyst, O-affinitive In atom triggers the favorable and stable adsorption of hydroxyl, which effectively optimizes the adsorption of OOH on neighboring Co. As a result, the oxygen reduction on Co atoms shifts to two-electron pathway for efficient H2O2 production in acid. The H2O2 partial current density reaches 1.92 mA cm-2 at 0.65 V in the rotating ring-disk electrode test, while the H2O2 production rate is as high as 9.68 mol g-1 h-1 in the three-phase flow cell. Additionally, the CoIn-N-C presents excellent stability during the long-term operation, verifying the practicability of the CoIn-N-C catalyst. This work provides inspiring insights into the rational design of active catalysts for H2O2 production and other catalytic systems.

Theoretical Evaluation of Electrochemical Nitrate Reduction Reaction on Graphdiyne-Supported Transition Metal Single-Atom Catalysts.

Project description:The electrochemical reaction can be applied as a powerful method to eliminate the pollution of nitrate (NO3 -) and as a feasible synthesis to enable the conversion of nitrate into ammonia (NH3) at room temperature. Herein, density functional theory calculations are applied to comprehensively analyze the electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) on graphdiyne-supported transition metal single-atom catalysts (TM@GDY SACs) for the first time. It can be found that the vanadium-anchored graphdiyne (V@GDY) displays the lowest limiting potential of -0.63 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode among the investigated systems in this work. Notably, the competing hydrogen evolution reaction is relatively restrained due to the comparatively weak adsorption of the H proton on the TM@GDY SACs. Moreover, higher energy intake is needed to overcome the energy barrier during the formation of byproducts (NO2, NO, N2O, and N2) on V@GDY without applying extra electrode potential, showing the selectivity of NH3 in the NO3RR process. The ab initio molecular dynamics simulation denotes that the V@GDY possesses excellent structure stability at the temperature of 600 K without much distortion, compared with the initial shape, indicating the promise for synthesis. This study not only offers a feasible NO3RR electrocatalyst but also paves the way for the development of the NO3RR process.

Hydrogen production from CO<sub>2</sub> reforming of methane using zirconia supported nickel catalyst.

Project description:The use of hydrogen as an alternative fuel is an attractive and promising technology as it contributes to the reduction of environmentally harmful gases. Finding environmentally friendly cheap active metal-based catalysts for H2 rich syngas via dry reforming of methane (DRM) for industrial applications has posed a challenge. In this paper, H2 production via CO2 reforming of methane was investigated over 5Ni/ZrO2 catalysts. The catalytic performance of all prepared catalysts was evaluated in a microtubular fixed bed reactor under similar reaction conditions (i.e., activation temperature at 700 °C, feed flow rate of 70 ml min-1, reaction temperature 700 °C for 440 min reaction time) of CO2 reforming of methane. Different characterization techniques such as; BET, CO2-TPD, TGA, XRPD, Raman, and TEM, were used. The study of the textural properties of catalysts established that the BET of pristine catalyst (5NiZr) was enhanced by the addition of modifiers and promoters. A bimodal TPR distribution in the reduction temperature range of 250-550 °C was recorded. In the CO2-TPD analysis, the strength of basicity came in this order: 5Ni15YZr > 5Ni10YZr > 5Ni5YZr > 5NiZr > 5Ni20YZr. The investigation of catalyst modifiers (MgO and Y2O3) resulted in the Y2O3 modifier improving the activity and catalytic performance better than MgO, which generated a hydrogen yield of 22%. 15% Y2O3 modifier loading gave the highest H2 yield 53% in the phase of different loadings of yttria. The study of the influence of promoters (Cs, Ga, and Sr) revealed that the catalytic performance of 5Ni15YZr catalysts promoted with Sr towards the H2 yield enhanced the activity to 62%. The promoted catalysts displayed lower carbon deposition compared to the unpromoted catalyst, which provided 25.6 wt% weight loss.

Ultrathin Trimetal-Organic Framework Nanosheet Electrocatalysts for the Highly Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Synthesis of ultrathin metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets for highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is prevalent, but still many challenges remain. Herein, a facile and efficient three-layer method is reported for the synthesis of NiCoFe-based trimetallic MOF nanosheets, which can be directly used for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline conditions. The physical characterization and morphology of trimetallic MOF nanosheets were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By optimizing the molar ratio of Ni/Co/Fe atoms, a series of MOFs with different metal proportions were synthesized. Among them, the as-prepared (Ni3Co1)3Fe1-MOF nanosheets can deliver a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a low overpotential of 245 mV with a small Tafel slope of 50.9 mV dec-1 in an alkaline electrolyte and exhibit excellent stability. More importantly, through the characterization of the intermediates in the OER process, the possible source of the catalytic active species is the electrochemically transformed metal hydroxides and oxyhydroxides.

Polyethyleneimine-Modified Polymer as an Efficient Palladium Scavenger and Effective Catalyst Support for a Functional Heterogeneous Palladium Catalyst.

Project description:The polyethyleneimine-modified polymers, polystyrene-divinylbenzene-based (TAs) and polymethacrylate-based polymers (TAm), were used as palladium scavengers to eliminate residual palladium species after palladium on carbon-catalyzed Sonogashira-type coupling reaction. Since both TAs and TAm indicated relatively favorable elimination abilities toward residual palladium species in the reaction mixture, the affinities of TAs and TAm for palladium species were used as supports for palladium catalysts. The TAm-supported palladium catalyst (Pd/TAm) indicated better catalyst properties for the chemoselective hydrogenation compared to those of the corresponding TAs-supported palladium catalyst (Pd/TAs). Aromatic benzyl ethers; aromatic and aliphatic N-Cbzs; and aromatic carbonyl groups were smoothly hydrogenated in the presence of 1-5 mol % of Pd/TAm in MeOH or 2-PrOH. In contrast, the hydrogenation of aromatic ketones was selectively suppressed in morpholine which act as appropriate catalyst poison and solvent. Furthermore, Pd/TAm-catalyzed chemoselective hydrogenation was applicable to continuous-flow reaction.
