Catalytic Co-Conversion of CH₄ and CO₂ Mediated by Rhodium-Titanium Oxide Anions RhTiO₂.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic co-conversion of methane with carbon dioxide to produce syngas (2 H₂ +2 CO) involves complicated elementary steps and almost all the elementary reactions are performed at the same high temperature conditions in practical thermocatalysis. Here, we demonstrate by mass spectrometric experiments that RhTiO₂ ^- promotes the co-conversion of CH₄ and CO₂ to free 2 H₂ +CO and an adsorbed CO (CO_ads ) at room temperature; the only elementary step that requires the input of external energy is desorption of CO_ads from the RhTiO₂ CO^- to reform RhTiO₂ ^- . This study not only identifies a promising active species for dry (CO₂ ) reforming of methane to syngas, but also emphasizes the importance of temperature control over elementary steps in practical catalysis, which may significantly alleviate the carbon deposition originating from the pyrolysis of methane.

One-Step Hydrothermal Synthesis of Precious Metal-Doped Titanium Dioxide-Graphene Oxide Composites for Photocatalytic Conversion of CO2 to Ethanol.

Project description:We utilized a one-step hydrothermal process for the synthesis of precious metal-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2)/graphene oxide (GO) composites. The metal-doped TiO2/GO composites, including silver-TiO2/GO (Ag-TiO2/GO), palladium-TiO2/GO (Pd-TiO2/GO), and copper-TiO2/GO (Cu-TiO2/GO), were synthesized by mixing a metal precursor, titanium butoxide, and graphene oxide in a water-ethanol mixture in an autoclave hydrothermal reactor. The photocatalytic performance of the composites was tested in the photoreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to ethanol. Ag-TiO2/GO, Pd-TiO2/GO, and Cu-TiO2/GO exhibited an ethanol production rate of 109, 125, and 233 μmol/gcat h, respectively. The outstanding performances of Cu-TiO2/GO can be attributed to a combined effect of key parameters, including optical band gap, crystallite size, and BET surface area.

TiO2-Doped CeO2 Nanorod Catalyst for Direct Conversion of CO2 and CH3OH to Dimethyl Carbonate: Catalytic Performance and Kinetic Study.

Project description:A new class of TiO2-doped CeO2 nanorods was synthesized via a modified hydrothermal method, and these nanorods were first used as catalysts for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO2 and CH3OH in a fixed-bed reactor. The micromorphologies and physical-chemical properties of nanorods were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia and carbon dioxide (NH3-TPD and CO2-TPD). The effects of the TiO2 doping ratio on the catalytic performances were fully investigated. By doping TiO2, the surface acid-base sites of CeO2 nanorods can be obviously promoted and the catalytic activity can be raised evidently. Ti0.04Ce0.96O2 nanorod catalysts exhibited remarkably high activity with a methanol conversion of 5.38% with DMC selectivity of 83.1%. Furthermore, kinetic and mechanistic investigations based on the initial rate method were conducted. Over the Ti0.04Ce0.96O2 nanorod catalyst, the apparent activation energy of the reaction was 46.3 kJ/mol. The reaction rate law was determined to be of positive first-order to the CO2 concentration and the catalyst loading amount. These results were practically identical with the prediction of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism in which the steps of CO2 adsorption and activation are considered as rate-determining steps.

Oxygen-Cluster-Modified Anatase with Graphene Leads to Efficient and Recyclable Photo-Catalytic Conversion of CO2 to CH4 Supported by the Positron Annihilation Study.

Project description:Anatase TiO2 hollow nanoboxes were synthesized and combined with the graphene oxide to get nanocomposite of TiO2/rGO (TG). Graphene oxide was used to modify the Oxygen-Clusters and bulk to surface defects. Anatase and TG composite were characterized with the positron annihilation, XPS, EPR, EIS and photocurrent response analysis. The relative affects of defects on the photocatalytic reduction (CO2 to CH4) were studied. The TG composites showed highest photo-catalytic activity after GO coupling (49?µmol g-1 h-1), 28.6 times higher photocurrent yields much higher quantum efficiency (3.17%@400?nm) when compared to the TiO2 nanoboxes. The mechanism of enhanced photo-catalytic CO2 conversion to CH4 elucidated through electrochemical and photo-catalytic experiments with traceable isotope containing carbon dioxide (13CO2). For the first time we discovered that diminishing the comparative concentration ratio of anatase from the bulk to surface defects could significantly increase the conversion of CO2 to CH4.

Regulation of functional groups on graphene quantum dots directs selective CO2 to CH4 conversion.

Project description:A catalyst system with dedicated selectivity toward a single hydrocarbon or oxygenate product is essential to enable the industrial application of electrochemical conversion of CO2 to high-value chemicals. Cu is the only known metal catalyst that can convert CO2 to high-order hydrocarbons and oxygenates. However, the Cu-based catalysts suffer from diverse selectivity. Here, we report that the functionalized graphene quantum dots can direct CO2 to CH4 conversion with simultaneous high selectivity and production rate. The electron-donating groups facilitate the yield of CH4 from CO2 electro-reduction while electron-withdrawing groups suppress CO2 electro-reduction. The yield of CH4 on electron-donating group functionalized graphene quantum dots is positively correlated to the electron-donating ability and content of electron-donating group. The graphene quantum dots functionalized by either -OH or -NH2 functional group could achieve Faradaic efficiency of 70.0% for CH4 at -200 mA cm-2 partial current density of CH4. The superior yield of CH4 on electron-donating group- over the electron-withdrawing group-functionalized graphene quantum dots possibly originates from the maintenance of higher charge density of potential active sites (neighboring C or N) and the interaction between the electron-donating group and key intermediates. This work provides insight into the design of active carbon catalysts at the molecular scale for the CO2 electro-reduction.

Visible-Light-Driven Conversion of CO2 to CH4 with an Organic Sensitizer and an Iron Porphyrin Catalyst.

Project description:Using a phenoxazine-based organic photosensitizer and an iron porphyrin molecular catalyst, we demonstrated photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO and CH4 with turnover numbers (TONs) of 149 and 29, respectively, under visible-light irradiation (λ > 435 nm) with a tertiary amine as sacrificial electron donor. This work is the first example of a molecular system using an earth-abundant metal catalyst and an organic dye to effect complete 8e-/8H+ reduction of CO2 to CH4, as opposed to typical 2e-/2H+ products of CO or formic acid. The catalytic system continuously produced methane even after prolonged irradiation up to 4 days. Using CO as the feedstock, the same reactive system was able to produce CH4 with 85% selectivity, 80 TON and a quantum yield of 0.47%. The redox properties of the organic photosensitizer and acidity of the proton source were shown to play a key role in driving the 8e-/8H+ processes.

Efficient Photoelectron Capture by Ni Decoration in Methanosarcina barkeri-CdS Biohybrids for Enhanced Photocatalytic CO2-to-CH4 Conversion.

Project description:Semi-artificial photosynthesis (biohybrid) provides an intriguing opportunity for efficient CO2-to-CH4 conversion. However, creating a desirable semiconductor in biohybrids remains a great challenge. Here, by doping Ni into CdS nanoparticles, we have successfully developed the Methanosarcina barkeri-Ni:CdS biohybrids. The CH4 yield by the M. barkeri-Ni(0.75%):CdS biohybrids was approximately 250% higher than that by the M. barkeri-CdS biohybrids. The suitable Ni dopants serve as an effective electron sink, which accelerates the photoelectron transfer in biohybrids. In addition, Ni doping changes the metabolic status of M. barkeri and results in a higher expression of a series of proteins for electron transfer, energy conversion, and CO2 fixation. These increased proteins can promote the photoelectron capture by M. barkeri and injection into cells, which trigger a higher intracellular reduction potential to drive the reduction of CO2 to CH4. Our discovery will offer a promising strategy for the optimization of biohybrids in the solar-to-chemical conversion.

Hetero-metallic active sites coupled with strongly reductive polyoxometalate for selective photocatalytic CO2-to-CH4 conversion in water.

Project description:The photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to value-added methane (CH4) has been a promising strategy for sustainable energy development, but it is challenging to trigger this reaction because of its necessary eight-electron transfer process. In this work, an efficient photocatalytic CO2-to-CH4 reduction reaction was achieved for the first time in aqueous solution by using two crystalline heterogeneous catalysts, H{[Na2K4Mn4(PO4) (H2O)4]?{[Mo6O12(OH)3(HPO4)3(PO4)]4[Mn6(H2O)4]}·16H2O (NENU-605) and H{[Na6CoMn3(PO4)(H2O)4]?{[Mo6O12(OH)3(HPO4)3(PO4)]4[Co1.5Mn4.5]}·21H2O (NENU-606). Both compounds have similar host inorganic polyoxometalate (POM) structures constructed with strong reductive {P4Mo6 V} units, homo/hetero transition metal ions (MnII/CoIIMnII) and alkali metal ions (K+ and/or Na+). It is noted that the {P4Mo6 V} cluster including the six MoV atoms served as a multi-electron donor in the case of a photocatalytic reaction, while the transition metal ions functioned as catalytically active sites for adsorbing and activating CO2 molecules. Additionally, the presence of alkali metal ions was believed to assist in the capture of more CO2 for the photocatalytic reaction. The synergistic combination of the above-mentioned components in NENU-605 and NENU-606 effectively facilitates the accomplishment of the required eight-electron transfer process for CH4 evolution. Furthermore, NENU-606 containing hetero-metallic active sites finally exhibited higher CH4 generation selectivity (85.5%) than NENU-605 (76.6%).

Layered Zn2[Co(CN)6](CH3COO) double metal cyanide: a two-dimensional DMC phase with excellent catalytic performance.

Project description:Double metal cyanides (DMCs) are well known, industrially applied catalysts for ring opening polymerization reactions. In recent years, they have been studied for a variety of catalytic reactions, as well as other applications, such as energy storage and Cs sorption. Herein, a new, layered DMC phase (L-DMC), Zn2[Co(CN)6](CH3COO)·4H2O, was synthesized. The structure, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/m, consists of positively charged {Zn2Co(CN)6}+ DMC layers linked through acetate groups and presents a new layered structure to the family of double metal cyanides. L-DMC proved to be a reusable and stable catalyst that exhibited a higher activity than the benchmark DMC catalyst in two important applications: hydroamination of phenylacetylene with 4-isopropylaniline and polymerization of 1,2-epoxyhexane.

Catalytic Chain Transfer Copolymerization of Propylene Oxide and CO2 using Zinc Glutarate Catalyst.

Project description:Oligo and poly(propylene ether carbonate)-polyols with molecular weights from 0.8 to over 50 kg/mol and with 60-92 mol % carbonate linkages were synthesized by chain transfer copolymerization of carbon dioxide (CO2) and propylene oxide (PO) mediated by zinc glutarate. Online-monitoring of the polymerization revealed that the CTA controlled copolymerization has an induction time which is resulting from reversible catalyst deactivation by the CTA. Latter is neutralized after the first monomer additions. The outcome of the chain transfer reaction is a function of the carbonate content, i. e. CO2 pressure, most likely on account of differences in mobility (diffusion) of the various polymers. Melt viscosities of poly(ether carbonate)diols with a carbonate content between 60 and 92 mol % are reported as function of the molecular weight, showing that the mobility is higher when the ether content is higher. The procedure of PO/CO2 catalytic chain copolymerization allows tailoring the glass temperature and viscosity.

Efficient and selective photocatalytic CH4 conversion to CH3OH with O2 by controlling overoxidation on TiO2.

Project description:The conversion of photocatalytic methane into methanol in high yield with selectivity remains a huge challenge due to unavoidable overoxidation. Here, the photocatalytic oxidation of CH4 into CH3OH by O2 is carried out on Ag-decorated facet-dominated TiO2. The {001}-dominated TiO2 shows a durable CH3OH yield of 4.8 mmol g-1 h-1 and a selectivity of approximately 80%, which represent much higher values than those reported in recent studies and are better than those obtained for {101}-dominated TiO2. Operando Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electron spin resonance, and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques are used to comprehensively clarify the underlying mechanism. The straightforward generation of oxygen vacancies on {001} by photoinduced holes plays a key role in avoiding the formation of •CH3 and •OH, which are the main factors leading to overoxidation and are generally formed on the {101} facet. The generation of oxygen vacancies on {001} results in distinct intermediates and reaction pathways (oxygen vacancy → Ti-O2• → Ti-OO-Ti and Ti-(OO) → Ti-O• pairs), thus achieving high selectivity and yield for CH4 photooxidation into CH3OH.
