Quest for an Efficient 2-in-1 MOF-Based Catalytic System for Cycloaddition of CO₂ to Epoxides under Mild Conditions.

ABSTRACT: We have devised a straightforward tandem postsynthetic modification strategy for Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, which resulted in a series of well-defined 2-in-1 heterogeneous catalysts, cat1-cat8, exhibiting high catalytic activity in the synthesis of cyclic carbonates under solvent-free and co-catalyst-free conditions. The materials feature precisely located co-catalyst moieties decorating the metal nodes throughout the bulk of the MOF and yield cyclic carbonates with up to 99% efficiency at room temperature. We use diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements to elucidate the role of each component in this model catalytic reaction. Establishing a method to precisely control the co-catalyst loading allowed us to observe the cooperativity between Lewis acid sites and the co-catalyst in the 2-in-1 heterogeneous system.

CO2 Cycloaddition to Epoxides by using M-DABCO Metal-Organic Frameworks and the Influence of the Synthetic Method on Catalytic Reactivity.

Project description:A series of high-quality M2(BDC)2(DABCO) metal-organic frameworks (abbreviated as M-DABCO; M=Zn, Co, Ni, Cu; BDC=1,4-benzene dicarboxylate; DABCO=1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), were synthesized by using a solvothermal (SV) method, and their catalytic activity for the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides in the absence of a co-catalyst or solvent was demonstrated. Of these metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Zn-DABCO exhibited very high activity and nearly complete selectivity under moderate reaction conditions. The other members of this MOF series (Co-DABCO, Ni-DABCO, and Cu-DABCO) displayed lower activity in the given sequence. Samples of Zn-DABCO, Co-DABCO, and Ni-DABCO were recycled at least three times without a noticeable loss in catalytic activity. The reaction mechanism can be attributed to structural defects along with the acid-base bifunctional characteristics of these MOFs. Moreover, we illustrate that the synthetic method of M-DABCO influences the yield of the reaction. In addition to the SV method, Zn-DABCO was synthesized by using spray drying due to its industrial attractiveness. It was found that the synthesis procedure clearly influenced the crystal growth and thus the physicochemical properties, such as surface area, pore volume, and gas adsorption, which in turn affected the catalytic performance. The results clarified that although different synthetic methods can produce isostructural MOFs, the application of MOFs, especially as catalysts, strongly depends on the crystal morphology and textural properties and, therefore, on the synthesis method.

Dataset for the synthesis and application of single-component heterogeneous catalysts based on zinc and tin for the cycloaddition of pure, diluted, and impure CO2 to epoxides under mild conditions.

Project description:The cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides under mild conditions is a growing field of research and a viable strategy to recycle CO2 in the form of cyclic carbonates as useful intermediates, solvents, and additives. This target requires readily accessible and recyclable catalysts whose synthesis does not involve expensive monomers, multistep procedures, coupling reagents, etc. Additionally, the catalysts should be active under atmospheric pressure and tolerate impurities such as methane and H2S. In a recent manuscript (Rational engineering of single-component heterogeneous catalysts based on abundant metal centers for the mild conversion of pure and impure CO2 to cyclic carbonates; Chemical Engineering Journal 422 (2021) 129930) we have developed strategies to prepare efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 to epoxides. Such materials consist of dispersions of metal halides (ZnCl2 or SnCl4) on silica support that is further functionalized with ionic liquids bearing nucleophilic halide moieties for cooperative epoxide activation and ring-opening. Herein, we provide useful complementary data for the characterization of the prepared materials in the form of: SEM images of materials (SEM: scanning electron microscope), SEM-EDS images of materials (EDS: Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), TEM images of materials (TEM: transmission electron microscope); XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) survey spectra of most active catalysts and related high-resolution spectra in spectral regions of interest, BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) physisorption isotherms of materials, raw 1H NMR spectra of catalytic reactions to verify the reproducibility of the reaction outcome and identify the reaction products.

MOF-on-MOF-Derived Hollow Co3 O4 /In2 O3 Nanostructure for Efficient Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction.

Project description:The photocatalytic transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into carbon-based fuels or chemicals using sustainable solar energy is considered an ideal strategy for simultaneously alleviating the energy shortage and environmental crises. However, owing to the low energy utilization of sunlight and inferior catalytic activity, the conversion efficiency of CO2 photoreduction is far from satisfactory. In this study, a MOF-derived hollow bimetallic oxide nanomaterial is prepared for the efficient photoreduction of CO2 . First, a unique ZIF-67-on-InOF-1 heterostructure is successfully obtained by growing a secondary Co-based ZIF-67 onto the initial InOF-1 nanorods. The corresponding hollow counterpart has a larger specific surface area after acid etching, and the oxidized bimetallic H-Co3 O4 /In2 O3 material exhibits abundant heterogeneous interfaces that expose more active sites. The energy band structure of H-Co3 O4 /In2 O3 corresponds well with the photosensitizer of [Ru(bpy)3 ]Cl2 , which results in a high CO yield of 4828 ± 570 µmol h-1 g-1 and stable activity over a consecutive of six runs, demonstrating adequate photocatalytic performance. This study demonstrates that the rational design of MOF-on-MOF heterostructures can completely exploit the synergistic effects between different components, which may be extended to other MOF-derived nanomaterials as promising catalysts for practical energy conversion and storage.

Metal-salen molecular cages as efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts for cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides under ambient conditions.

Project description:A salen based molecular cage, salen@cage, was synthesized and complexed with Co and Al to yield metal-salen molecular cages, Co(ii)@cage, Co(iii)@cage and Al(iii)@cage. These cages were demonstrated to be efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO2 with styrene oxide, achieving full conversion at 25 °C and 1 atm CO2. Good to excellent yields of various cyclic carbonates were also achieved under mild conditions. Al(iii)@cage can be reused up to five times without any significant loss of its high catalytic activity. The capability to access a variety of heterogeneous organometallic catalysts with salen@cage offers new prospects for practical CO2 utilization and chemical manufacturing.

Functional Porous Ionic Polymers as Efficient Heterogeneous Catalysts for the Chemical Fixation of CO2 under Mild Conditions.

Project description:The development of efficient and metal-free heterogeneous catalysts for the chemical fixation of CO2 into value-added products is still a challenge. Herein, we reported two kinds of polar group (-COOH, -OH)-functionalized porous ionic polymers (PIPs) that were constructed from the corresponding phosphonium salt monomers (v-PBC and v-PBH) using a solvothermal radical polymerization method. The resulting PIPs (POP-PBC and POP-PBH) can be used as efficient bifunctional heterogeneous catalysts in the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 with epoxides under relatively low temperature, ambient pressure, and metal-free conditions without any additives. It was found that the catalytic activities of the POP-PBC and POP-PBH were comparable with the homogeneous catalysts of Me-PBC and PBH and were higher than that of the POP-PPh3-COOH that was synthesized through a post-modification method, indicating the importance of the high concentration catalytic active sites in the heterogeneous catalysts. Reaction under low CO2 concentration conditions showed that the activity of the POP-PBC (with a conversion of 53.8% and a selectivity of 99.0%) was higher than that of the POP-PBH (with a conversion of 32.3% and a selectivity of 99.0%), verifying the promoting effect of the polar group (-COOH group) in the porous framework. The POP-PBC can also be recycled at least five times without a significant loss of catalytic activity, indicating the high stability and robustness of the PIPs-based heterogeneous catalysts.

Catalytic, Kinetic, and Mechanistic Insights into the Fixation of CO2 with Epoxides Catalyzed by Phenol-Functionalized Phosphonium Salts.

Project description:A series of hydroxy-functionalized phosphonium salts were studied as bifunctional catalysts for the conversion of CO2 with epoxides under mild and solvent-free conditions. The reaction in the presence of a phenol-based phosphonium iodide proceeded via a first order rection kinetic with respect to the substrate. Notably, in contrast to the aliphatic analogue, the phenol-based catalyst showed no product inhibition. The temperature dependence of the reaction rate was investigated, and the activation energy for the model reaction was determined from an Arrhenius-plot (Ea =39.6 kJ mol-1 ). The substrate scope was also evaluated. Under the optimized reaction conditions, 20 terminal epoxides were converted at room temperature to the corresponding cyclic carbonates, which were isolated in yields up to 99 %. The reaction is easily scalable and was performed on a scale up to 50 g substrate. Moreover, this method was applied in the synthesis of the antitussive agent dropropizine starting from epichlorohydrin and phenylpiperazine. Furthermore, DFT calculations were performed to rationalize the mechanism and the high efficiency of the phenol-based phosphonium iodide catalyst. The calculation confirmed the activation of the epoxide via hydrogen bonding for the iodide salt, which facilitates the ring-opening step. Notably, the effective Gibbs energy barrier regarding this step is 97 kJ mol-1 for the bromide and 72 kJ mol-1 for the iodide salt, which explains the difference in activity.

Highly selective CO2 photoreduction to CO on MOF-derived TiO2.

Project description:Metal-Organic Framework (MOF)-derived TiO2, synthesised through the calcination of MIL-125-NH2, is investigated for its potential as a CO2 photoreduction catalyst. The effect of the reaction parameters: irradiance, temperature and partial pressure of water was investigated. Using a two-level design of experiments, we were able to evaluate the influence of each parameter and their potential interactions on the reaction products, specifically the production of CO and CH4. It was found that, for the explored range, the only statistically significant parameter is temperature, with an increase in temperature being correlated to enhanced production of both CO and CH4. Over the range of experimental settings explored, the MOF-derived TiO2 displays high selectivity towards CO (98%), with only a small amount of CH4 (2%) being produced. This is notable when compared to other state-of-the-art TiO2 based CO2 photoreduction catalysts, which often showcase lower selectivity. The MOF-derived TiO2 was found to have a peak production rate of 8.9 × 10-4 μmol cm-2 h-1 (2.6 μmol g-1 h-1) and 2.6 × 10-5 μmol cm-2 h-1 (0.10 μmol g-1 h-1) for CO and CH4, respectively. A comparison is made to commercial TiO2, P25 (Degussa), which was shown to have a similar activity towards CO production, 3.4 × 10-3 μmol cm-2 h-1 (5.9 μmol g-1 h-1), but a lower selectivity preference for CO (3 : 1 CH4 : CO) than the MOF-derived TiO2 material developed here. This paper showcases the potential for MIL-125-NH2 derived TiO2 to be further developed as a highly selective CO2 photoreduction catalyst for CO production.

MOF-Derived Ni1-xCox@Carbon with Tunable Nano-Microstructure as Lightweight and Highly Efficient Electromagnetic Wave Absorber.

Project description:Intrinsic electric-magnetic property and special nano-micro architecture of functional materials have a significant effect on its electromagnetic wave energy conversion, especially in the microwave absorption (MA) field. Herein, porous Ni1-xCox@Carbon composites derived from metal-organic framework (MOF) were successfully synthesized via solvothermal reaction and subsequent annealing treatments. Benefiting from the coordination, carbonized bimetallic Ni-Co-MOF maintained its initial skeleton and transformed into magnetic-carbon composites with tunable nano-micro structure. During the thermal decomposition, generated magnetic particles/clusters acted as a catalyst to promote the carbon sp2 arrangement, forming special core-shell architecture. Therefore, pure Ni@C microspheres displayed strong MA behaviors than other Ni1-xCox@Carbon composites. Surprisingly, magnetic-dielectric Ni@C composites possessed the strongest reflection loss value - 59.5 dB and the effective absorption frequency covered as wide as 4.7 GHz. Meanwhile, the MA capacity also can be boosted by adjusting the absorber content from 25% to 40%. Magnetic-dielectric synergy effect of MOF-derived Ni1-xCox@Carbon microspheres was confirmed by the off-axis electron holography technology making a thorough inquiry in the MA mechanism.

Direct conversion of CO and H2O into liquid fuels under mild conditions.

Project description:Although enormous progress has been made in C1 chemistry and CO2 conversion in recent years, it is still a challenge to develop new carbon resource transformation protocols especially those lead to the production of liquid fuels with high selectivity under mild conditions (e.g., under low temperature and using benign solvent). Herein, we present a novel and energy-efficient catalytic route to directly transform CO and H2O to liquid fuels (i.e., liquid hydrocarbons) at low temperature (≤200 °C) in aqueous phase (i.e., in a benign solvent), in which H2O served as both hydrogen source and solvent for the liquid fuel production. The key to the catalytic process is the construction of a highly efficient tandem catalyst Pt-Mo2C/C + Ru/C, which can directly convert CO and H2O in aqueous phase to liquid hydrocarbons with a production rate of 8.7 mol-CH2- molRu-1 h-1 and selectivity up to 68.4% of C5+ hydrocarbons at 200 °C.
