Tandem catalyzing the hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural over a Ni₃Fe intermetallic supported Pt single-atom site catalyst.

ABSTRACT: Single-atom site catalysts (SACs) have been used in multitudinous reactions delivering ultrahigh atom utilization and enhanced performance, but it is challenging for one single atom site to catalyze an intricate tandem reaction needing different reactive sites. Herein, we report a robust SAC with dual reactive sites of isolated Pt single atoms and the Ni₃Fe intermetallic support (Pt₁/Ni₃Fe IMC) for tandem catalyzing the hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). It delivers a high catalytic performance with 99.0% 5-HMF conversion in 30 min and a 2, 5-dimethylfuran (DMF) yield of 98.1% in 90 min at a low reaction temperature of 160 °C, as well as good recyclability. These results place Pt₁/Ni₃Fe IMC among the most active catalysts for the 5-HMF hydrodeoxygenation reaction reported to date. Rational control experiments and first-principles calculations confirm that Pt₁/Ni₃Fe IMC can readily facilitate the hydrodeoxygenation reaction by a tandem mechanism, where the single Pt site accounts for C[double bond, length as m-dash]O group hydrogenation and the Ni₃Fe interface promotes the C-OH bond cleavage. This interfacial tandem catalysis over the Pt single-atom site and Ni₃Fe IMC support may develop new opportunities for the rational structural design of SACs applied in other heterogeneous tandem reactions.

Ceria Promoted Cu-Ni/SiO2 Catalyst for Selective Hydrodeoxygenation of Vanillin.

Project description:A ceria (CeO2) promoted Cu-Ni bimetallic catalyst supported on SiO2 (Cu-Ni/CeO2-SiO2) was prepared and evaluated for catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of vanillin. Silica supported monometallic Cu and Ni catalysts and bimetallic Cu-Ni catalyst (Cu/SiO2, Ni/SiO2, and Cu-Ni/SiO2), without a ceria promoter, were also synthesized and tested for the same application. The highest conversion of vanillin was achieved with the Cu-Ni/CeO2-SiO2 catalyst. Vanillyl alcohol was the sole product in the initial 2 h, followed by the formation of 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol, which was observed. Characterization of the synthesized catalysts revealed the presence of overlapping crystalline phases of CuO, NiO, and CeO2 on the Cu-Ni/CeO2-SiO2 surface. We extended our study to find out the results of using CeO2 as the support of the Cu-Ni bimetallic catalyst (Cu-Ni/CeO2). Partial incorporation of Cu and Ni cations into the ceria lattice took place, leading to the decrease of specific surface area and a concomitant compromise in the conversion. In the case of the Cu-Ni/CeO2-SiO2 catalyst, the higher conversion was accredited to the facile formation of Cu+ active centers by the synergistic interaction between Ce+4/Ce+3 and Cu+2/Cu+ redox couples and the incorporation of oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface.

Intermetallic Differences at CdS-Metal (Ni, Pd, Pt, and Au) Interfaces: From Single-Atom to Subnanometer Metal Clusters.

Project description:Metal co-catalysts tipped at a photocatalyst surface form a crucial component in the nanoheterostructures designed for the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction. To examine the intermetallic differences and size effects at these interfaces, we use spin-polarized density functional theory to study single-atom, 13-atom, and 55-atom cluster depositions of Ni, Pd, Pt, and Au on the CdS(101?0) surface. For the single metal atoms, the ground-state configuration was the same site for all of the elements. Analysis of the metal-CdS bonding and of the charge transfers revealed a Ni-Cd bonding complex leading to depletion of electronic charge at the Ni single atom and at deposited Ni clusters, in contrast to charge accumulation observed for the other three metals Pd, Pt, and Au. For scaling up sizes of the metal deposition, six subnanometer cluster types were selected over a wide range of cluster's effective coordination number, and their interfaces were differentiated by charge redistributions, structure and adhesion energies, highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gaps, and Schottky barrier heights. Although all considered clusters are semiconducting in the gas phase, 9 out of 28 clusters became (semi)metallic after deposition on the CdS semiconductor surface. Intermetallic differences and common trends are discussed.

Hydrodeoxygenation of Isoeugenol over Alumina-Supported Ir, Pt, and Re Catalysts.

Project description:Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of isoeugenol (IE) was investigated using bimetallic iridium-rhenium and platinum-rhenium catalysts supported on alumina in the temperature and pressure ranges of 200-250 °C and 17-40 bar in nonpolar dodecane as a solvent. The main parameters were catalyst type, hydrogen pressure, and initial concentration. Nearly quantitative yield of the desired product, propylcyclohexane (PCH), at complete conversion in 240 min was obtained with Ir-Re/Al2O3 prepared by the deposition-precipitation method using 0.1 mol/L IE initial concentration. High iridium dispersion together with a modification effect of rhenium provided in situ formation of the IrRe active component with reproducible catalytic activity for selective HDO of IE to PCH. The reaction rate was shown to increase with the increasing initial IE concentration promoting also HDO and giving a higher liquid phase mass balance. Increasing hydrogen pressure benefits the PCH yield.

Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of Bio-oil Model Compounds over Pt/HY Catalyst.

Project description:The hydrodeoxygenation of a model compound of lignin-derived bio-oil, guaiacol, which can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass to bio-oil, has attracted considerable research attention because of its huge potential as a substitute for conventional fuels. In this study, platinum-loaded HY zeolites (Pt/HY) with different Si/Al molar ratios were used as catalysts for the hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol, anisole, veratrole, and phenol to a range of hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane. The cyclohexane (major product) yield increased with increasing number of acid sites. To produce bio-oil with the maximum level of cyclohexane and alkylated cyclohexanes, which would be suitable as a substitute for conventional transportation fuels, the Si/Al molar ratio should be optimized to balance the Pt particle-induced hydrogenation with acid site-induced methyl group transfer. The fuel properties of real bio-oil derived from the fast pyrolysis of cork oak was improved using the Pt/HY catalyst.

Decomposition of Cyclohexane on Ni₃Al Thin Foil Intermetallic Catalyst.

Project description:Micro-grained thin foils made of Ni₃Al intermetallic alloy were fabricated, according to a previously described procedure, and tested as catalyst for decomposition of cyclohexane. The conversion efficiency of the catalyst was evaluated in a synthetic air atmosphere, and found to be as high as 98.7% ± 1.0% at 600 °C and 86.7% ± 3.6% at 500 °C. During the reaction, the growth of carbon nanofibers on the catalysts surface was observed. The chemical and phase composition of the nanofibers was investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), finding them to be made of graphitic carbon. Additionally, nanoparticles of nickel appear to be incorporated in the fibers. The obtained material is promising for large scale fabrication in industrial applications because of its high efficiency in the hydrocarbon decomposition, the simple fabrication procedure, and the form of self-supporting foils with the presence of additional carbon nanofibers that increase its efficiency.

Thermally stable Ni foam-supported inverse CeAlOx/Ni ensemble as an active structured catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation to methane.

Project description:Nickel is the most widely used inexpensive active metal center of the heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methane. However, Ni-based catalysts suffer from severe deactivation in CO2 methanation reaction due to the irreversible sintering and coke deposition caused by the inevitable localized hotspots generated during the vigorously exothermic reaction. Herein, we demonstrate the inverse CeAlOx/Ni composite constructed on the Ni-foam structure support realizes remarkable CO2 methanation catalytic activity and stability in a wide operation temperature range from 240 to 600 °C. Significantly, CeAlOx/Ni/Ni-foam catalyst maintains its initial activity after seven drastic heating-cooling cycles from RT to 240 to 600 °C. Meanwhile, the structure catalyst also shows water resistance and long-term stability under reaction condition. The promising thermal stability and water-resistance of CeAlOx/Ni/Ni-foam originate from the excellent heat and mass transport efficiency which eliminates local hotspots and the formation of Ni-foam stabilized CeAlOx/Ni inverse composites which effectively anchored the active species and prevents carbon deposition from CH4 decomposition.

Quasi Pd1Ni single-atom surface alloy catalyst enables hydrogenation of nitriles to secondary amines.

Project description:Hydrogenation of nitriles represents as an atom-economic route to synthesize amines, crucial building blocks in fine chemicals. However, high redox potentials of nitriles render this approach to produce a mixture of amines, imines and low-value hydrogenolysis byproducts in general. Here we show that quasi atomic-dispersion of Pd within the outermost layer of Ni nanoparticles to form a Pd1Ni single-atom surface alloy structure maximizes the Pd utilization and breaks the strong metal-selectivity relations in benzonitrile hydrogenation, by prompting the yield of dibenzylamine drastically from ∼5 to 97% under mild conditions (80 °C; 0.6 MPa), and boosting an activity to about eight and four times higher than Pd and Pt standard catalysts, respectively. More importantly, the undesired carcinogenic toluene by-product is completely prohibited, rendering its practical applications, especially in pharmaceutical industry. Such strategy can be extended to a broad scope of nitriles with high yields of secondary amines under mild conditions.

Interplay of Atomic Interactions in the Intermetallic Semiconductor Be5 Pt.

Project description:Semiconducting substances form one of the most important families of functional materials. However, semiconductors containing only metals are very rare. The chemical mechanisms behind their ground-state properties are only partially understood. Our investigations have rather unexpectedly revealed the semiconducting behaviour (band gap of 190 meV) for the intermetallic compound Be5 Pt formed at a very low valence-electron count. Quantum-chemical analysis shows strong charge transfer from Be to Pt and reveals a three-dimensional entity of vertex-condensed empty Be4 tetrahedrons with multi-atomic cluster bonds interpenetrated by the framework of Pt-filled vertex-condensed Be4 tetrahedrons with two-atomic polar Be-Pt bonds. The combination of strong Coulomb interactions with relativistic effects results in a band gap.

Hydrodeoxygenation of 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran over bifunctional Pt-Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 catalyst in the gas phase: enhancing effect of gold.

Project description:2,5-Dimethyltetrahydrofuran (DMTHF) is deoxygenated to n-hexane with >99% selectivity at mild conditions (90 °C, 1 bar H2 pressure, fixed-bed reactor) in the presence of the bifunctional metal-acid catalyst Pt-CsPW comprising Pt and Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 (CsPW), an acidic Cs salt of Keggin-type heteropoly acid H3PW12O40. Addition of gold to the Pt-CsPW catalyst increases the turnover rate at Pt sites more than twofold, whereas the Au alone without Pt is not active. The enhancement of catalyst activity is attributed to PtAu alloying, which is supported by STEM-EDX and XRD analysis.

A one-dimensional porous carbon-supported Ni/Mo2C dual catalyst for efficient water splitting.

Project description:The development of active, stable and low-cost electrocatalysts towards both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for overall water splitting remains a big challenge. Herein, we report a new porous carbon-supported Ni/Mo2C (Ni/Mo2C-PC) composite catalyst derived by thermal treatment of nickel molybdate nanorods coated with polydopamine, which efficiently and robustly catalyses the HER and OER with striking kinetic metrics in alkaline electrolyte. The catalyst affords low onset potentials of -60 mV for the HER and 270 mV for the OER, as well as small overpotentials of 179 mV for the HER and 368 mV for the OER at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. These results compare favorably to Mo2C-PC, Ni-PC, and most other documented Ni- and Mo-based catalysts. The high activity of Ni/Mo2C-PC is likely due to electron transfer from Ni to Mo2C, leading to a higher Ni valence and a lower Mo valence in the Ni/Mo2C-PC catalyst, as these are HER and OER active species and thus account for the enhanced activity. Remarkably, our home-made alkaline electrolyser, assembled with Ni/Mo2C-PC as a bifunctional catalyst, can enable a water-splitting current density of 10 mA cm-2 to be achieved at a low cell voltage of 1.66 V.
