Catalytic CO2 Reduction with Boron- and Aluminum Hydrides.

ABSTRACT: The previously reported dimeric NHI aluminum dihydrides 1 a,b, as well as the bis(NHI) aluminum dihydride salt 9 +[OTs]-, the bis(NHI) boron dihydride salt 10 +[OTs]-, and the "free" bis(NHI) ligand 12 were investigated with regard to their activity as a homogenous (pre)catalyst in the hydroboration (i. e. catalytic reduction) of carbon dioxide (CO2) in chloroform under mild conditions (i. e. room temperature, 1 atm; NHI=N-heterocyclic imine, Ts=tosyl). Borane dimethylsulfide complex and catecholborane were used as a hydride source. Surprisingly, the less sterically hindered 1 a exhibited lower catalytic activity than the bulkier 1 b. A similarly unexpected discrepancy was found with the lower catalytic activity of 10 + in comparison to the one of the bis(NHI) 12. The latter is incorporated as the ligand to the boron center in 10 +. To elucidate possible mechanisms for CO2 reduction the compounds were subjected to stoichiometric reactivity studies with the borane or CO2. Aluminum carboxylates 4, 6, and 7 + with two, four, and one formate group per two aluminum centers were isolated. Also, the boron formate salt 11 +[OTs]- was characterized. Selected metal formates were subjected to stoichiometric reactions with boranes and/or tested as a catalyst. We conclude that each type of catalyst (1 a,b, 9 +, 10 +, 12) follows an individual mechanistic pathway for CO2 reduction.

Dispersion, Rehybridization, and Pentacoordination: Keys to Understand Clustering of Boron and Aluminum Hydrides and Halides.

Project description:The structure, stability, and bonding characteristics of dimers and trimers involving BX3 and AlX3 (X = H, F, Cl) in the gas phase, many of them explored for the first time, were investigated using different DFT (B3LYP, B3LYP/D3BJ, and M06-2X) and ab initio (MP2 and G4) methods together with different energy decomposition formalisms, namely, many-body interaction-energy and localized molecular orbital energy decomposition analysis. The electron density of the clusters investigated was analyzed with QTAIM, electron localization function, NCIPLOT, and adaptive natural density partitioning approaches. Our results for triel hydride dimers and Al2X6 (X = F, Cl) clusters are in good agreement with previous studies in the literature, but in contrast with the general accepted idea that B2F6 and B2Cl6 do not exist, we have found that they are predicted to be weakly bound systems if dispersion interactions are conveniently accounted for in the theoretical schemes used. Dispersion interactions are also dominant in both homo- and heterotrimers involving boron halide monomers. Surprisingly, B3F9 and B3Cl9 C3v cyclic trimers, in spite of exhibiting rather strong B-X (X = F, Cl) interactions, were found to be unstable with respect to the isolated monomers due to the high energetic cost of the rehybridization of the B atom, which is larger than the two- and three-body stabilization contributions when the cyclic is formed. Another important feature is the enhanced stability of both homo- and heterotrimers in which Al is the central atom because Al is systematically pentacoordinated, whereas this is not the case when the central atom is B, which is only tri- or tetra-coordinated.

Bimetallic nickel-cobalt hydrides in H<sub>2</sub> activation and catalytic proton reduction.

Project description:The synergism of the electronic properties of nickel and cobalt enables bimetallic NiCo complexes to process H2. The nickel-cobalt hydride [(dppe)Ni(pdt)(H)CoCp*]+ ([1H]+ ) arising from protonation of the reduced state 1 was found to be an efficient electrocatalyst for H2 evolution with Cl2CHCOOH, and the oxidized [Ni(ii)Co(iii)]2+ form is capable of activating H2 to produce [1H]+ . The features of stereodynamics, acid-base properties, redox chemistry and reactivity of these bimetallic NiCo complexes in processing H2 are potentially related to the active site of [NiFe]-H2ases.

An internal electron reservoir enhances catalytic CO2 reduction by a semisynthetic enzyme.

Project description:The development of an artificial metalloenzyme for CO2 reduction is described. The small-molecule catalyst [Ni(II)(cyclam)](2+) has been incorporated within azurin. Selectivity for CO generation over H(+) reduction is enhanced within the protein environment, while the azurin active site metal impacts the electrochemical overpotential and photocatalytic activity. The enhanced catalysis observed for copper azurin suggests an important role for intramolecular electron transfer, analogous to native CO2 reducing enzymes.

Catalytic reduction of CN-, CO, and CO2 by nitrogenase cofactors in lanthanide-driven reactions.

Project description:Nitrogenase cofactors can be extracted into an organic solvent to catalyze the reduction of cyanide (CN(-)), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2) without using adenosine triphosphate (ATP), when samarium(II) iodide (SmI2) and 2,6-lutidinium triflate (Lut-H) are employed as a reductant and a proton source, respectively. Driven by SmI2, the cofactors catalytically reduce CN(-) or CO to C1-C4 hydrocarbons, and CO2 to CO and C1-C3 hydrocarbons. The C-C coupling from CO2 indicates a unique Fischer-Tropsch-like reaction with an atypical carbonaceous substrate, whereas the catalytic turnover of CN(-), CO, and CO2 by isolated cofactors suggests the possibility to develop nitrogenase-based electrocatalysts for the production of hydrocarbons from these carbon-containing compounds.

Improving the Catalytic CO2 Reduction on Cs2AgBiBr6 by Halide Defect Engineering: A DFT Study.

Project description:Pb-free double halide perovskites have drawn immense attention in the potential photocatalytic application, due to the regulatable bandgap energy and nontoxicity. Herein, we first present a study for CO2 conversion on Pb-free halide perovskite Cs2AgBiBr6 under state-of-the-art first-principles calculation with dispersion correction. Compared with the previous CsPbBr3, the cell parameter of Cs2AgBiBr6 underwent only a small decrease of 3.69%. By investigating the adsorption of CO, CO2, NO, NO2, and catalytic reduction of CO2, we found Cs2AgBiBr6 exhibits modest adsorption ability and unsatisfied potential determining step energy of 2.68 eV in catalysis. We adopted defect engineering (Cl doping, I doping and Br-vacancy) to regulate the adsorption and CO2 reduction behavior. It is found that CO2 molecule can be chemically and preferably adsorbed on Br-vacancy doped Cs2AgBiBr6 with a negative adsorption energy of -1.16 eV. Studying the CO2 reduction paths on pure and defect modified Cs2AgBiBr6, Br-vacancy is proved to play a critical role in decreasing the potential determining step energy to 1.25 eV. Finally, we probe into the electronic properties and demonstrate Br-vacancy will not obviously promote the process of catalysis deactivation, as there is no formation of deep-level electronic states acting as carrier recombination center. Our findings reveal the process of gas adsorption and CO2 reduction on novel Pb-free Cs2AgBiBr6, and propose a potential strategy to improve the efficiency of catalytic CO2 conversion towards practical implementation.

Trialkylborane-Assisted CO(2) Reduction by Late Transition Metal Hydrides.

Project description:Trialkylborane additives promote reduction of CO(2) to formate by bis(diphosphine) Ni(II) and Rh(III) hydride complexes. The late transition metal hydrides, which can be formed from dihydrogen, transfer hydride to CO(2) to give a formate-borane adduct. The borane must be of appropriate Lewis acidity: weaker acids do not show significant hydride transfer enhancement, while stronger acids abstract hydride without CO(2) reduction. The mechanism likely involves a pre-equilibrium hydride transfer followed by formation of a stabilizing formate-borane adduct.

Electrocatalytic reduction of low concentration CO2.

Project description:Utilization of low concentration CO2 contained in the exhaust gases from various industries and thermal power stations without the need for energy-consuming concentration processes should be an important technology for solving global warming and the shortage of fossil resources. Here we report the direct electrocatalytic reduction of low concentration CO2 by a Re(i)-complex catalyst that possesses CO2-capturing ability in the presence of triethanolamine. The reaction rate and faradaic efficiency of CO2 reduction were almost the same when using Ar gas containing 10% CO2 or when using pure CO2 gas, and the selectivity of CO formation was very high (98% at 10% CO2). At a concentration of 1% CO2, the Re(i) complex still behaved as a good electrocatalyst; 94% selectivity of CO formation and 85% faradaic efficiency were achieved, and the rate of CO formation was 67% compared to that when using pure CO2 gas. The electrocatalysis was due to the efficient insertion of CO2 into the Re(i)-O bond in fac-[Re(dmb)(CO)3{OC2H4N(C2H4OH)2}] (dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine).

Directing the reactivity of metal hydrides for selective CO<sub>2</sub> reduction.

Project description:A critical challenge in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to renewable fuels is product selectivity. Desirable products of CO2 reduction require proton equivalents, but key catalytic intermediates can also be competent for direct proton reduction to H2 Understanding how to manage divergent reaction pathways at these shared intermediates is essential to achieving high selectivity. Both proton reduction to hydrogen and CO2 reduction to formate generally proceed through a metal hydride intermediate. We apply thermodynamic relationships that describe the reactivity of metal hydrides with H+ and CO2 to generate a thermodynamic product diagram, which outlines the free energy of product formation as a function of proton activity and hydricity (∆GH-), or hydride donor strength. The diagram outlines a region of metal hydricity and proton activity in which CO2 reduction is favorable and H+ reduction is suppressed. We apply our diagram to inform our selection of [Pt(dmpe)2](PF6)2 as a potential catalyst, because the corresponding hydride [HPt(dmpe)2]+ has the correct hydricity to access the region where selective CO2 reduction is possible. We validate our choice experimentally; [Pt(dmpe)2](PF6)2 is a highly selective electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction to formate (>90% Faradaic efficiency) at an overpotential of less than 100 mV in acetonitrile with no evidence of catalyst degradation after electrolysis. Our report of a selective catalyst for CO2 reduction illustrates how our thermodynamic diagrams can guide selective and efficient catalyst discovery.

Nitrate reduction by Geobacter sulfurreducens and the catalytic role of palladium on the reduction pathway

Project description:Geobacter sulfurreducens is a widely explored microorganism recognized by its metabolic versatility able to reduce a number of external electron acceptors. In the present study the capacity of this strain to reduce nitrate was evaluated along with its transcriptomic profile under nitrate-reducing conditions and the catalytic role of Pd nanoparticles on the reductive pathway. Results demonstrated that G. sulfurreducens was able to reduce nitrate and important kinetic differences related to the time response were found among the electron donors used (acetate and hydrogen). When using acetate, a delay response on nitrate reduction of 4 days and reduction of 94% of nitrate was achieved, while nitrite was not detected, and all the nitrogen was recovered as ammonium (79.6 ± 5.7 %). The use of hydrogen as electron donor increased 2-fold the maximum rate of nitrate reduction, leading to 93% reduction of nitrate during the first 20 h with recovery of 45% as ammonium, while nitrite was not detected. In addition, transcriptome profiling analysis of G. sulfurreducens under nitrate-reducing conditions using hydrogen or acetate as an electron donor at 2 and 6 days reveals that a core of 146 genes (69 upregulated and 77 downregulated) are differentially expressed in all conditions. Genes related to nitrogen metabolism, such as nrfA and nrfH, gdhA, and amtB, were upregulated in the incubations and RT-qPCR data confirmed upregulations of these genes. Experiments performed with biologically synthesized Pd (Bio-Pd) + G. sulfurreducens cells demonstrated synergistic input of Bio-Pd and the metabolic capacity of G. sulfurreducens. These results expand the metabolic versatility of G. sulfurreducens, which may have important implications in nitrogen cycling in natural environments and engineered systems.

Boron Removal from Mining and Synthetic Effluents by Electrocoagulation Using Aluminum Electrodes.

Project description:The efficiency of the electrocoagulation method to remove boron from synthetic and mining effluents was investigated in this study. Different parameters were tested using boric acid solution and effluent collected from a mining company located in the city of Vitória-ES. The results showed a percentage of boron removal of over 60% for the synthetic and mining effluents, using aluminum electrodes, pH 7.5, current density of 14.82 mA cm-2, and supporting electrolyte of 0.200 mol L-1. The electrocoagulation and chemical coagulation methods were also compared, in which the percentage obtained by electrocoagulation was 56.30% higher for the mining effluent. Thus, electrocoagulation was more efficient in boron removal, especially when appropriate parameters are applied.
