The Role of Nitrogen-doping in the Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation of Phenol to Cyclohexanone with Formic Acid over Pd supported on Carbon Nanotubes.

ABSTRACT: Highly selective one-step hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone, an important intermediate in the production of nylon 6 and nylon 66, is desirable but remains a challenge. Pd nanoparticles supported on nitrogen- and oxygen-functionalized carbon nanotubes (NCNTs, OCNTs) were prepared, characterized, and applied in the hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone to study the effect of N-doping. Almost full conversion of phenol with high selectivity to cyclohexanone was achieved over Pd/NCNT under mild reaction conditions using either H₂ or formic acid (FA) as a hydrogen source. The effects of reaction temperature and FA/phenol ratio and the reusability were investigated. Separate FA decomposition experiments without and with the addition of phenol were performed to investigate the reaction mechanism, especially the deactivation behavior. Deactivation was observed for both catalysts during the FA decomposition, while only Pd/OCNT rather than Pd/NCNT was deactivated in the transfer hydrogenation with FA and the FA decomposition in the presence of phenol, indicating the unique role of N-doping. Therefore, we assume that deactivation is caused by the strongly bound formates on the active Pd sites, suppressing further FA decomposition and/or transfer hydrogenation on Pd. The nonplanar adsorption of phenol on NCNTs via weak O-H⋅⋅⋅N interactions enables the occurrence of the subsequent hydrogenation by adsorbed formate on Pd.

Ultrafine Pd Nanoparticles Anchored on Nitrogen-Doping Carbon for Boosting Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes.

Project description:The catalytic performance of metal particles is closely related to the particle size. In this article, ultrafine palladium nanoparticles anchored on nitrogen-doping carbon support (Pd/N-XC72R) were fabricated, wherein the N-XC72R was prepared through low-temperature annealing of Vulcan XC72R carbon with urea at 300 °C. Nitrogen dopant on the surface of carbon support can remarkably strengthen the affinity of the metal nanoparticles onto the support. Compared with the Vulcan XC-72R-supported Pd catalyst, the prepared Pd/N-XC72R delivered superior catalytic activity for the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes with formic acid as the hydrogen donor at ambient temperature. Our strategy may provide an effective and feasible approach to fabricate N-functionalized carbon materials and construct high-performance ultrasmall metal nanoparticle heterogeneous catalysts.

Novel nano-semiconductor film layer supported nano-Pd Complex Nanostructured Catalyst Pd/Ⓕ-MeO<sub>x</sub>/AC for High Efficient Selective Hydrogenation of Phenol to Cyclohexanone.

Project description:Supported metal as a type of heterogeneous catalysts are the most widely used in industrial processes. High dispersion of the metal particles of supported catalyst is a key factor in determining the performance of such catalysts. Here we report a novel catalyst Pd/Ⓕ-MeOx/AC with complex nanostructured, Pd nanoparticles supported on the platelike nano-semiconductor film/activated carbon, prepared by the photocatalytic reduction method, which exhibited high efficient catalytic performance for selective hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone. Conversion of phenol achieved up to more than 99% with a lower mole ratio (0.5%) of active components Pd and phenol within 2 h at 70 °C. The synergistic effect of metal nanoparticles and nano-semiconductors support layer and the greatly increasing of contact interface of nano-metal-semiconductors may be responsible for the high efficiency. This work provides a clear demonstration that complex nanostructured catalysts with nano-metal and nano-semiconductor film layer supported on high specific surface AC can yield enhanced catalytic activity and can afford promising approach for developing new supported catalyst.

Amine-Functionalized Natural Halloysite Nanotubes Supported Metallic (Pd, Au, Ag) Nanoparticles and Their Catalytic Performance for Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid.

Project description:In today's age of resource scarcity, the low-cost development and utilization of renewable energy, e.g., hydrogen energy, have attracted much attention in the world. In this work, cheap natural halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were modified with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), and the functionalized HNTs were used as to support metal (Pd, Au, Ag) catalysts for dehydrogenation of formic acid (DFA). The supports and fabricated catalysts were characterized with ICP, FT-IR, XRD, XPS and TEM. The functional groups facilitate the anchoring of metal particles to the supports, which brings about the high dispersion of metallic particles in catalysts. The catalysts show high activity against DFA and exhibit selectivity of 100% toward H2 at room temperature or less. The interactions between active centers and supports were investigated by evaluation and comparison of the catalytic performances of Pd/NH2-HNTs, PdAg/NH2-HNTs and PdAu/NH2-HNTs for DFA.

Carbon-Doping as Efficient Strategy for Improving Photocatalytic Activity of Polysilicon Supported Pd in Hydrogen Evolution from Formic Acid.

Project description:Interest in cost-effective materials pushes researchers to the inexpensive and abundant semiconductors to use photons' energy for generating electrons and holes required for photocatalytic transformations. At the same time, polysilicon is one of the economic semiconductors with a disadvantage of high bandgap which could be solved by carbon-doping. We employed this strategy to the synthesis of carbon-doped polysilicon by a new approach starting from citric acid and methyltrimethoxysilane. The nanocomposite obtained was utterly characterized, and compared with bare polysilicon; increased UV-Vis absorbance and shift to higher wavelengths were the most notable characteristics of the synthesized catalyst. The carbon-doped polysilicon was modified with Pd nanoparticles to obtain a new heterogeneous photocatalyst for the formic acid degradation. The decomposition of formic acid was photocatalyzed by the obtained nanocomposite with a hydrogen production turnover frequency of up to 690 h-1. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the catalyst is stable and recyclable.

Mesoporous Silica Supported Pd-MnO<sub>x</sub> Catalysts with Excellent Catalytic Activity in Room-Temperature Formic Acid Decomposition.

Project description:For the application of formic acid as a liquid organic hydrogen carrier, development of efficient catalysts for dehydrogenation of formic acid is a challenging topic, and most studies have so far focused on the composition of metals and supports, the size effect of metal nanoparticles, and surface chemistry of supports. Another influential factor is highly desired to overcome the current limitation of heterogeneous catalysis for formic acid decomposition. Here, we first investigated the effect of support pore structure on formic acid decomposition performance at room temperature by using mesoporous silica materials with different pore structures such as KIE-6, MCM-41, and SBA-15, and achieved the excellent catalytic activity (TOF: 593?h-1) by only controlling the pore structure of mesoporous silica supports. In addition, we demonstrated that 3D interconnected pore structure of mesoporous silica supports is more favorable to the mass transfer than 2D cylindrical mesopore structure, and the better mass transfer provides higher catalytic activity in formic acid decomposition. If the pore morphology of catalytic supports such as 3D wormhole or 2D cylinder is identical, large pore size combined with high pore volume is a crucial factor to achieve high catalytic performance.

Deactivation and regeneration of carbon nanotubes and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes in catalytic peroxymonosulfate activation for phenol degradation: variation of surface functionalities.

Project description:The reuse, deactivation and regeneration of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and N-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNT) were studied in catalytic peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for phenol degradation. The results showed that for catalytic PMS activation, marked deactivation was observed on both CNT and NCNT, resulting in marked variation of the surface functionalities of the catalysts. Catalytic PMS activation led to markedly increased oxygen-containing functionalities and decreased points of zero charge (PZCs) of CNT and NCNT. The catalytic activity of CNT was strongly dependent on the initial PMS concentration but was independent of the initial phenol concentration. Furthermore, the dependency of the CNT activity on the initial PMS concentration closely followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, indicating that the catalytic activation of adsorbed PMS was the rate controlling step. For the used CNT and NCNT, chemical reduction by NaBH4 or thermal treatment regeneration under inert atmosphere could effectively remove surface O-containing functionalities and enhance PZCs, restoring their catalytic activities; meanwhile, the N-containing functionalities of NCNT decreased with regeneration treatment, resulting in a negative impact on catalyst regeneration. The present findings indicate that surface functionalities are closely correlated with catalyst deactivation and regeneration, playing crucial roles in the catalytic activation of PMS.

Resin-supported iridium complex for low-temperature vanillin hydrogenation using formic acid in water.

Project description:Biorefinery seeks to utilize biomass waste streams as a source of chemical precursors with which to feed the chemical industry. This goal seeks to replace petroleum as the main feedstock, however this task requires the development of efficient catalysts capable of transforming substances derived from biomass into useful chemical products. In this study, we demonstrate that a highly-active iridium complex can be solid-supported and used as a low-temperature catalyst for both the decomposition of formic acid (FA) to produce hydrogen, and as a hydrogenation catalyst to produce vanillyl alcohol (VA) and 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP) from vanillin (V); a lignin-derived feedstock. These hydrogenation products are promising precursors for epoxy resins and thus demonstrate an approach for their production without the need for petroleum. In contrast to other catalysts that require temperatures exceeding 100 °C, here we accomplish this at a temperature of <50 °C in water under autogenous pressure. This approach provides an avenue towards biorefinery with lower energy demands, which is central to the decentralization and broad implementation. We found that the high activity of the iridium complex transfers to the solid-support and is capable of accelerating the rate determining step; the decomposition of FA into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The yield of both VA and MMP can be independently tuned depending on the temperature. The simplicity of this approach expands the utility of molecular metal complexes and provides new catalyst opportunities in biorefinery.

Surface-Group-Oriented, Condensation Cyclization-Driven, Nitrogen-Doping Strategy for the Preparation of a Nitrogen-Species-Tunable, Carbon-Material-Supported Pd Catalyst.

Project description:A nitrogen-carbon framework with the thickness of several molecules was fabricated through a straightforward nitrogen-doping strategy, in which specially designed surface-oxygen-containing groups (SOGs) first introduced onto the porous carbon support were used to guide the generation of a surface-nitrogen-containing structure through condensation reactions between SOGs and the amidogen group of organic amines under hydrothermal conditions. The results indicate that different kinds of SOGs generate different types and abundances of N species. The CO-releasing groups are apt to form a high proportion of amino groups, whereas the CO2-releasing groups, especially carboxyl and lactones, are mainly transformed into pyrrolic-type nitrogen. In the framework with dominant pyrrolic-type nitrogen, an electron-rich Pd activated site composed of Pd, pyrrolic-type N and C is built, in which electron transfer occurs from N to C and Pd atoms. This activated site contributes to the formation of electron-rich activated hydrogen and desorption of p-chloroaniline, which work together to achieve the superior selectivity about 99.90?% of p-chloroaniline and the excellent reusable performance. This strategy not only provides low-cost, nitrogen-doped carbon materials, but also develops a new method for the fabrication of different kinds of nitrogen species structures.

Biomass Nanoporous Carbon-Supported Pd Catalysts for Partial Hydrogenation of Biodiesel: Effects of Surface Chemistry on Pd Particle Size and Catalytic Performance.

Project description:Two types of cattail flower-derived nanoporous carbon (NPC), i.e., NPC activated with KOH and H3PO4, were produced and characterized using several techniques (e.g., Raman spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). The influence of the carbon support characteristics on the particle sizes and chemical states of Pd in the synthesized Pd/NPC catalysts, which affect the catalytic activity and product selectivity, was analyzed. The surface chemistry properties of NPC were the main factors influencing the Pd particle size; by contrast, the textural properties did not significantly affect the size of the Pd particles on NPC supports. The use of Pd nanoparticles supported on the rich-functionalized surface carbons obtained by H3PO4 activation led to superior catalytic activity for the polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl ester (poly-FAME) hydrogenation, which could achieve 90% poly-FAME conversion and 84% selectivity towards monounsaturated FAME after a 45-min reaction time. This is due to the small Pd nanoparticle size and the high acidity of the catalysts, which are beneficial for the partial hydrogenation of poly-FAME in biodiesel. Conversely, the Pd nanoparticles supported on the high-surface-area carbon by KOH activation, with large Pd particle size and low acidity, required a longer reaction time to reach similar conversion and product selectivity levels.

Aerobic dehydrogenation of cyclohexanone to phenol catalyzed by Pd(TFA)2/2-dimethylaminopyridine: evidence for the role of Pd nanoparticles.

Project description:We have carried out a mechanistic investigation of aerobic dehydrogenation of cyclohexanones and cyclohexenones to phenols with a Pd(TFA)2/2-dimethylaminopyridine catalyst system. Numerous experimental methods, including kinetic studies, filtration tests, Hg poisoning experiments, transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering, provide compelling evidence that the initial Pd(II) catalyst mediates the first dehydrogenation of cyclohexanone to cyclohexenone, after which it evolves into soluble Pd nanoparticles that retain catalytic activity. This nanoparticle formation and stabilization is facilitated by each of the components in the catalytic reaction, including the ligand, TsOH, DMSO, substrate, and cyclohexenone intermediate.
