Metal-Support Interactions and C1 Chemistry: Transforming Pt-CeO₂ into a Highly Active and Stable Catalyst for the Conversion of Carbon Dioxide and Methane.

ABSTRACT: There is an ongoing search for materials which can accomplish the activation of two dangerous greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. In the area of C1 chemistry, the reaction between CO₂ and CH₄ to produce syngas (CO/H₂), known as methane dry reforming (MDR), is attracting a lot of interest due to its green nature. On Pt(111), high temperatures must be used to activate the reactants, leading to a substantial deposition of carbon which makes this metal surface useless for the MDR process. In this study, we show that strong metal-support interactions present in Pt/CeO₂(111) and Pt/CeO₂ powders lead to systems which can bind CO₂ and CH₄ well at room temperature and are excellent and stable catalysts for the MDR process at moderate temperature (500 °C). The behavior of these systems was studied using a combination of in situ/operando methods (AP-XPS, XRD, and XAFS) which pointed to an active Pt-CeO_2-x interface. In this interface, the oxide is far from being a passive spectator. It modifies the chemical properties of Pt, facilitating improved methane dissociation, and is directly involved in the adsorption and dissociation of CO₂ making the MDR catalytic cycle possible. A comparison of the benefits gained by the use of an effective metal-oxide interface and those obtained by plain bimetallic bonding indicates that the former is much more important when optimizing the C1 chemistry associated with CO₂ and CH₄ conversion. The presence of elements with a different chemical nature at the metal-oxide interface opens the possibility for truly cooperative interactions in the activation of C-O and C-H bonds.

How Pt Influences H2 Reactions on High Surface-Area Pt/CeO2 Powder Catalyst Surfaces.

Project description:The addition of platinum-group metals (PGMs, e.g., Pt) to CeO2 is used in heterogeneous catalysis to promote the rate of redox surface reactions. Well-defined model system studies have shown that PGMs facilitate H2 dissociation, H-spillover onto CeO2 surfaces, and CeO2 surface reduction. However, it remains unclear how the heterogeneous structures and interfaces that exist on powder catalysts influence the mechanistic picture of PGM-promoted H2 reactions on CeO2 surfaces developed from model system studies. Here, controlled catalyst synthesis, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), in situ infrared spectroscopy (IR), and in situ electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) were used to interrogate the mechanisms of how Pt nanoclusters and single atoms influence H2 reactions on high-surface area Pt/CeO2 powder catalysts. TPR showed that Pt promotes H2 consumption rates on Pt/CeO2 even when Pt exists on a small fraction of CeO2 particles, suggesting that H-spillover proceeds far from Pt-CeO2 interfaces and across CeO2-CeO2 particle interfaces. IR and EELS measurements provided evidence that Pt changes the mechanism of H2 activation and the rate limiting step for Ce3+, oxygen vacancy, and water formation as compared to pure CeO2. As a result, higher-saturation surface hydroxyl coverages can be achieved on Pt/CeO2 compared to pure CeO2. Further, Ce3+ formed by spillover-H from Pt is heterogeneously distributed and localized at and around interparticle CeO2-CeO2 boundaries, while activated H2 on pure CeO2 results in homogeneously distributed Ce3+. Ce3+ localization at and around CeO2-CeO2 boundaries for Pt/CeO2 is accompanied by surface reconstruction that enables faster rates of H2 consumption. This study reconciles the materials gap between model structures and powder catalysts for H2 reactions with Pt/CeO2 and highlights how the spatial heterogeneity of powder catalysts dictates the influence of Pt on H2 reactions at CeO2 surfaces.

Promotion of Pt/CeO2 catalyst by hydrogen treatment for low-temperature CO oxidation.

Project description:Low temperature CO oxidation reaction is known to be facilitated over platinum supported on a reducible cerium oxide. Pt species act as binding sites for reactant CO molecules, and oxygen vacancies on surface of cerium oxide atomically activate the reactant O2 molecules. However, the impacts of size of Pt species and concentration of oxygen vacancy at the surface of cerium oxide on the CO oxidation reaction have not been clearly distinguished, thereby various diverse approaches have been suggested to date. Here using the co-precipitation method we have prepared pure ceria support and infiltrated it with Pt solution to obtain 0.5 atomic% Pt supported on cerium oxide catalyst, and then systematically varied the size of Pt from single atom to ∼1.7 nm sized nanoparticles and oxygen vacancy concentration at surface of cerium oxide by controlling the heat-treatment conditions, which are temperature and oxygen partial pressure. It is found that Pt nanoparticles in range of 1-1.7 nm achieve 100% of CO oxidation reaction at ∼100 °C lower temperature compared to Pt single atom owing to the facile adsorption of CO but weaker binding strength between Pt and CO molecules, and the oxygen vacancy in the vicinity of Pt accelerates CO oxidation below 150 °C. Based on this understanding, we show that a simple hydrogen reduction at 550 °C for the single atom Pt supported on CeO2 catalyst induces the formation of highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles with size of 1.7 ± 0.2 nm and the higher concentration of surface oxygen vacancies simultaneously, enabling 100% conversion from CO to CO2 at 200 °C as well as 16% conversion even at 150 °C owing to the synergistic effects of Pt nanoparticles and oxygen vacancies.

Fluorescence-detected XAS with sub-second time resolution reveals new details about the redox activity of Pt/CeO2 catalyst.

Project description:A setup for fluorescence-detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) with sub-second time resolution has been developed. This technique allows chemical speciation of low-concentrated materials embedded in highly absorbing matrices, which cannot be studied using transmission XAS. Using this setup, the reactivity of 1.5?wt% Pt/CeO2 catalyst was studied with 100?ms resolution during periodic cycling in CO- and oxygen-containing atmospheres in a plug-flow reactor. Measurements were performed at the Pt L3- and Ce L3-edges. The reactivity of platinum and cerium demonstrated a strong correlation. The oxidation of the catalyst starts on the ceria support helping the oxidation of platinum nanoparticles. The new time-resolved XAS setup can be applied to various systems, capable of reproducible cycling between different states triggered by gas atmosphere, light, temperature, etc. It opens up new perspectives for mechanistic studies on automotive catalysts, selective oxidation catalysts and photocatalysts.

High-efficiency direct methane conversion to oxygenates on a cerium dioxide nanowires supported rhodium single-atom catalyst.

Project description:Direct methane conversion (DMC) to high value-added products is of significant importance for the effective utilization of CH4 to combat the energy crisis. However, there are ongoing challenges in DMC associated with the selective C-H activation of CH4. The quest for high-efficiency catalysts for this process is limited by the current drawbacks including poor activity and low selectivity. Here we show a cerium dioxide (CeO2) nanowires supported rhodium (Rh) single-atom (SAs Rh-CeO2 NWs) that can serve as a high-efficiency catalyst for DMC to oxygenates (i.e., CH3OH and CH3OOH) under mild conditions. Compared to Rh/CeO2 nanowires (Rh clusters) prepared by a conventional wet-impregnation method, CeO2 nanowires supported Rh single-atom exhibits 6.5 times higher of the oxygenates yield (1231.7 vs. 189.4 mmol gRh-1 h-1), which largely outperforms that of the reported catalysts in the same class. This work demonstrates a highly efficient DMC process and promotes the research on Rh single-atom catalysts in heterogeneous catalysis.

Cu assisted loading of Pt on CeO2 as a carbon-free catalyst for methanol and oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:The widely studied Pt/C catalyst for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) suffers severe carbon corrosion under operation, which undermines the catalytic activity and durability. It is of great importance to develop a carbon-free support with co-catalytic functionality for improving both the activity and durability of Pt-based catalysts. The direct loading of Pt on the smooth surface of oxides may be difficult. Herein, the Cu assisted loading of Pt on CeO2 is developed. Cu pre-coated CeO2 was facilely synthesized and Pt was electrochemically deposited to fabricate the carbon-free PtCu/CeO2 catalyst. The PtCu/CeO2 catalyst has a mass activity up to 1.84 and 1.57 times higher than Pt/C towards methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), respectively. Better durability is also confirmed by chronoamperometry and accelerated degradation tests. The strategy in this work would be greatly helpful for developing an efficient carbon-free support of Pt-based catalysts for applications in DMFCs.

Distinct Role of Surface Hydroxyls in Single-Atom Pt1/CeO2 Catalyst for Room-Temperature Formaldehyde Oxidation: Acid-Base Versus Redox.

Project description:The development of highly efficient catalysts for room-temperature formaldehyde (HCHO) oxidation is of great interest for indoor air purification. In this work, it was found that the single-atom Pt1/CeO2 catalyst exhibits a remarkable activity with complete removal of HCHO even at 288 K. Combining density functional theory calculations and in situ DRIFTS experiments, it was revealed that the active OlatticeH site generated on CeO2 in the vicinity of Pt2+ via steam treatment plays a key role in the oxidation of HCHO to formate and its further oxidation to CO2. Such involvement of hydroxyls is fundamentally different from that of cofeeding water which dissociates on metal oxide and catalyzes the acid-base-related chemistry. This study provides an important implication for the design and synthesis of supported Pt catalysts with atom efficiency for a very important practical application-room-temperature HCHO oxidation.

Highly Efficient Mesoporous Carbonaceous CeO2 Catalyst for Dephosphorylation.

Project description:Phosphorus is fast becoming a critical element, as the global supply and demand are reaching unsustainable levels. Herein, the synthesis, characterization, and applicability of a novel biomass-derived mesoporous carbonaceous material decorated with CeO2 (CeO2-S400) as an efficient catalyst for the dephosphorylation of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate disodium salt hexahydrate are reported. The presence and distribution of CeO2 are evidenced by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (118.7 mg/g), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping. The apparent rate constant for the efficient catalysis of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate disodium salt hexahydrate was 0.097 ± 0.01 for CeO2-ES and 0.15 ± 0.03 min-1 for CeO2-S400, which followed first-order kinetics. Rate constants normalized by the catalytic loading (k m) were 80.84 and 15.00 g-1 min-1 for CeO2-ES and CeO2-S400, respectively, and the normalized rate constants with respect to surface area were 3.38 and 0.04 m-2 min-1 for CeO2-ES and CeO2-S400, respectively. This indicates that the presence of CeO2 nanoparticles has a catalytic effect on the dephosphorylation reaction.

Synthesis of a Highly Stable Pd@CeO2 Catalyst for Methane Combustion with the Synergistic Effect of Urea and Citric Acid.

Project description:Making use of synergy between urea and citric acid, a core-shell Pd@CeO2 catalyst with spherical morphology was facilely synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The formation mechanism of the core-shell structure in the presence of citric acid and hydrogen peroxide was studied. Results showed that the Pd@CeO2 catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity in methane oxidation. Pd nanoparticles were well stabilized by CeO2 shell encapsulation, resulting in high stability of the catalyst. A high CH4 conversion of 99% was retained after 50 h on-stream reaction at 500 °C. Additionally, many tiny pores on the CeO2 shell surface were beneficial for the full contact between reactants and active components. Pd nanoparticles were highly dispersed inside the shell, improving the utilization efficiency of active components. The results also demonstrated that the Pd species in the catalyst existed in the form of oxidation state, mainly in PdO (ca. 66.6%), which played an essential part in methane combustion.

The effects of Fe, Mg, and Pt-doping on the improvement of Ni stabilized on Al2O3-CeO3 catalysts for methane dry reforming.

Project description:Herein, the promotional effects of Mg, Fe, and Pt on Ni-based catalysts supported on Al2O3-CeO2 (Ni/Al2O3-CeO2) were investigated in the dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction. The interaction of a suitable amount of MgO and FeO with Ce2O3 stabilized in the catalysts was demonstrated by the temperature-programmed desorption of CO2 (CO2-TPD). Ce2O3 has a high basicity for adsorbing CO2, generating a monoclinic Ce2O2CO3 species in the DRM reaction. Surface oxygen ions were also produced by adding MgO and FeO, as demonstrated by the temperature-programmed reduction of H2 (H2-TPR). Monoclinic Ce2O2CO3 and surface oxygen may both be used to oxidize and remove the carbon that was deposited, maintaining the high activity and stability of the metal Ni and Pt catalysts. The high dispersion and synergistic interactions between the platinum and oxide phases, which are associated with the decrease in reduction temperature and the rise in the number of basic sites, are responsible for the increased activity of Pt with M-Ni/Al2O3-CeO2 catalysts. The co-doped Ni/Al2O3-CeO2 catalysts with Mg and Fe significantly enhanced the activity (more than 80% methane and 84% CO2 conversion), the selectivity toward syngas (∼90%), and maintained the H2/CO ratio at about 0.97 at 700 °C.

High Coke-Resistance Pt/Mg1-xNixO Catalyst for Dry Reforming of Methane.

Project description:A highly active and stable nano structured Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalysts was developed by a simple co-precipitation method. The obtained Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst exhibited cubic structure nanocatalyst with a size of 50-80 nm and realized CH4 and CO2 conversions as high as 98% at 900°C with excellent stability in the dry reforming of methane. The characterization of catalyst was performed using various kinds of analytical techniques including XRD, BET, XRF, TPR-H2, TGA, TEM, FESEM, FT-IR, and XPS analyses. Characterization of spent catalyst further confirms that Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst has high coke-resistance for dry reforming. Thus, the catalyst demonstrated in this study, offers a promising catalyst for resolving the dilemma between dispersion and reducibility of supported metal, as well as activity and stability during high temperature reactions.
