Gallium nitride catalyzed the direct hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to dimethyl ether as primary product.

ABSTRACT: The selective hydrogenation of CO₂ to value-added chemicals is attractive but still challenged by the high-performance catalyst. In this work, we report that gallium nitride (GaN) catalyzes the direct hydrogenation of CO₂ to dimethyl ether (DME) with a CO-free selectivity of about 80%. The activity of GaN for the hydrogenation of CO₂ is much higher than that for the hydrogenation of CO although the product distribution is very similar. The steady-state and transient experimental results, spectroscopic studies, and density functional theory calculations rigorously reveal that DME is produced as the primary product via the methyl and formate intermediates, which are formed over different planes of GaN with similar activation energies. This essentially differs from the traditional DME synthesis via the methanol intermediate over a hybrid catalyst. The present work offers a different catalyst capable of the direct hydrogenation of CO₂ to DME and thus enriches the chemistry for CO₂ transformations.

Supported Molybdenum Carbide and Nitride Catalysts for Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation.

Project description:Catalysts based on molybdenum carbide or nitride nanoparticles (2-5 nm) supported on titania were prepared by wet impregnation followed by a thermal treatment under alkane (methane or ethane)/hydrogen or nitrogen/hydrogen mixture, respectively. The samples were characterized by elemental analysis, volumetric adsorption of nitrogen, X-ray diffraction, and aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. They were evaluated for the hydrogenation of CO2 in the 2-3 MPa and 200-300°C ranges using a gas-phase flow fixed bed reactor. CO, methane, methanol, and ethane (in fraction-decreasing order) were formed on carbides, whereas CO, methanol, and methane were formed on nitrides. The carbide and nitride phase stoichiometries were tuned by varying the preparation conditions, leading to C/Mo and N/Mo atomic ratios of 0.2-1.8 and 0.5-0.7, respectively. The carbide activity increased for lower carburizing alkane concentration and temperature, i.e., lower C/Mo ratio. Enhanced carbide performances were obtained with pure anatase titania support as compared to P25 (anatase/rutile) titania or zirconia, with a methanol selectivity up to 11% at 250°C. The nitride catalysts appeared less active but reached a methanol selectivity of 16% at 250°C.

Product selectivity in plasmonic photocatalysis for carbon dioxide hydrogenation.

Project description:Photocatalysis has not found widespread industrial adoption, in spite of decades of active research, because the challenges associated with catalyst illumination and turnover outweigh the touted advantages of replacing heat with light. A demonstration that light can control product selectivity in complex chemical reactions could prove to be transformative. Here, we show how the recently demonstrated plasmonic behaviour of rhodium nanoparticles profoundly improves their already excellent catalytic properties by simultaneously reducing the activation energy and selectively producing a desired but kinetically unfavourable product for the important carbon dioxide hydrogenation reaction. Methane is almost exclusively produced when rhodium nanoparticles are mildly illuminated as hot electrons are injected into the anti-bonding orbital of a critical intermediate, while carbon monoxide and methane are equally produced without illumination. The reduced activation energy and super-linear dependence on light intensity cause the unheated photocatalytic methane production rate to exceed the thermocatalytic rate at 350 °C.

Direct synthesis of formic acid from carbon dioxide by hydrogenation in acidic media.

Project description:The chemical transformation of carbon dioxide into useful products becomes increasingly important as CO2 levels in the atmosphere continue to rise as a consequence of human activities. In this article we describe the direct hydrogenation of CO2 into formic acid using a homogeneous ruthenium catalyst, in aqueous solution and in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), without any additives. In water, at 40 °C, 0.2 M formic acid can be obtained under 200 bar, however, in DMSO the same catalyst affords 1.9 M formic acid. In both solvents the catalysts can be reused multiple times without a decrease in activity. Worldwide demand for formic acid continues to grow, especially in the context of a renewable energy hydrogen carrier, and its production from CO2 without base, via the direct catalytic carbon dioxide hydrogenation, is considerably more sustainable than the existing routes.

Photocatalytic Decarboxylative Minisci Reaction Catalyzed by Palladium-Loaded Gallium Nitride.

Project description:The decarboxylative Minisci reaction is a versatile tool for the direct C-H alkylation of heteroarenes, where stoichiometric amounts of oxidants or expensive, precious metal reagents are commonly used. Herein, we reported a photodriven decarboxylative Minisci reaction enabled by a gallium nitride-based heterogeneous photocatalyst under mild conditions. This method can be effectively applied to a broad substrate scope of acids, including primary, secondary, and tertiary carboxylic acids and N-heteroarenes effectively. The practicability and robustness of the approach are demonstrated for the functionalization of biologically active compounds.

Highly efficient hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formate catalyzed by iridium(iii) complexes of imine-diphosphine ligands.

Project description:A new iridium catalyst containing an imine-diphosphine ligand has been developed, which showed high efficiency for the hydrogenation of CO2 to formate (yield up to 99%, TON up to 450?000). A possible catalytic mechanism is proposed, in which the imine group of the catalyst plays a key role in the cleavage of H2 and the activation of CO2.

Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation to Formate Catalyzed by a Bench-Stable, Non-Pincer-Type Mn(I) Alkylcarbonyl Complex.

Project description:The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide is a process of growing interest for the use of this simple and abundant molecule as a renewable building block in C1-chemical synthesis and for hydrogen storage. The well-defined, bench-stable alkylcarbonyl Mn(I) bis(phosphine) complex fac-[Mn(CH2CH2CH3)(dippe)(CO)3] [dippe = 1,2-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ethane] was tested as an efficient and selective non-precious-metal precatalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2 to formate under mild conditions (75 bar total pressure, 80 °C), in the presence of a Lewis acid co-catalyst (LiOTf) and a base (DBU). Mechanistic insight into the catalytic reaction is provided by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Efficient Nitrogen Fixation Catalyzed by Gallium Nitride Nanowire Using Nitrogen and Water.

Project description:Ammonia is one of the most important bulk chemicals in modern society. However, the highly energy-extensive contemporary industrial production of ammonia was developed in the early 20th century and requires extensive heating of highly pressurized flammable hydrogen gas, whose global production still relies heavily on non-sustainable petroleum. The development of "sustainable" nitrogen fixation process represents a grand aspirational chemical pursuit concerning our future human well-being. Herein, we report an ultra-stable nitride-based photosensitizing semiconductor that enables efficient, sustainable, and mild photochemical nitrogen fixation. The catalyst exhibits strong chemisorption of nitrogen and enables immediate electron donation from its surface vacancy to nitrogen. In addition, it was also demonstrated that the nitride-based semiconductor possesses the potential to minimize electron-hole recombination.

New 2D Structural Materials: Carbon-Gallium Nitride (CC-GaN) and Boron-Gallium Nitride (BN-GaN) Heterostructures-Materials Design Through Density Functional Theory.

Project description:New class of ternary nanohetrostructures have been proposed by mixing 2D gallium nitride (GaN) with graphene and 2D hexagonal boron nitride (BN) with an aim towards desgining innovative 2D materials for applications in electronics and other industries. The structural stability and electronic properties of these nanoheterostructures have been analyzed using first-principles based calculations done in the framework of density functional theory. Different structure patterns have been analyzed to identify the most stable structures. It is found to be more energetically favorable that the carbon atoms occupy the positions of the nitrogen atoms in a clustered pattern in CC-GaN heterostructures, whereas boron doping is preferred in the reverse order, where isolated BN and GaN layered configurations are preferred in BN-GaN heterostructures. These 2D nanoheterostructures are energetically favored materials with direct band gap and have potential application in nanoscale semiconducting and nanoscale optoelectronic devices.

Nanostructures of Indium Gallium Nitride Crystals Grown on Carbon Nanotubes.

Project description:Nanostructure (NS) InGaN crystals were grown on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The NS-InGaN crystals, grown on a ~5-?m-long CNT/Si template, were estimated to be ~100-270?nm in size. Transmission electron microscope examinations revealed that single-crystalline InGaN NSs were formed with different crystal facets. The observed green (~500?nm) cathodoluminescence (CL) emission was consistent with the surface image of the NS-InGaN crystallites, indicating excellent optical properties of the InGaN NSs on CNTs. Moreover, the CL spectrum of InGaN NSs showed a broad emission band from 490 to 600?nm. Based on these results, we believe that InGaN NSs grown on CNTs could aid in overcoming the green gap in LED technologies.

Carbonate-Promoted Hydrogenation of Carbon Dioxide to Multicarbon Carboxylates.

Project description:CO2 hydrogenation is a potential alternative to conventional petrochemical methods for making commodity chemicals and fuels. Research in this area has focused mostly on transition-metal-based catalysts. Here we show that hydrated alkali carbonates promote CO2 hydrogenation to formate, oxalate, and other C2+ carboxylates at elevated temperature and pressure in the absence of transition-metal catalysts or solvent. The reactions proceed rapidly, reaching up to 56% yield (with respect to CO32-) within minutes. Isotope labeling experiments indicate facile H2 and C-H deprotonations in the alkali cation-rich reaction media and identify probable intermediates for the C-C bond formations leading to the various C2+ products. The carboxylate salts are in equilibrium with volatile carboxylic acids under CO2 hydrogenation conditions, which may enable catalytic carboxylic acid syntheses. Our results provide a foundation for base-promoted and base-catalyzed CO2 hydrogenation processes that could complement existing approaches.
