Design of Crystalline Reduction-Oxidation Cluster-Based Catalysts for Artificial Photosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: Metal cluster-based compounds have difficulty finishing the photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO₂RR) and water oxidation reaction (WOR) simultaneously because of the big challenge in realizing the coexistence of independently and synergistically reductive and oxidative active sites in one compound. Herein, we elaborately designed and synthesized one kind of crystalline reduction-oxidation (RO) cluster-based catalysts connecting reductive {M ₃ L ₈ (H ₂ O) ₂ } (M = Zn, Co, and Ni for RO-1, 2, 3 respectively) cluster and oxidative {PMo₉V₇O₄₄} cluster through a single oxygen atom bridge to achieve artificial photosynthesis successfully. These clusters can all photocatalyze CO₂-to-CO and H₂O-to-O₂ reactions simultaneously, of which the CO yield of RO-1 is 13.8 μmol/g·h, and the selectivity is nearly 100%. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the concomitantly catalytically reductive and oxidative active sites (for CO₂RR and WOR, respectively) and the effective electron transfer between the sites in these RO photocatalysts are the key factors to complete the overall photosynthesis.

Nano-sized manganese oxides as biomimetic catalysts for water oxidation in artificial photosynthesis: a review.

Project description:There has been a tremendous surge in research on the synthesis of various metal compounds aimed at simulating the water-oxidizing complex (WOC) of photosystem II (PSII). This is crucial because the water oxidation half reaction is overwhelmingly rate-limiting and needs high over-voltage (approx. 1 V), which results in low conversion efficiencies when working at current densities required for hydrogen production via water splitting. Particular attention has been given to the manganese compounds not only because manganese has been used by nature to oxidize water but also because manganese is cheap and environmentally friendly. The manganese-calcium cluster in PSII has a dimension of about approximately 0.5 nm. Thus, nano-sized manganese compounds might be good structural and functional models for the cluster. As in the nanometre-size of the synthetic models, most of the active sites are at the surface, these compounds could be more efficient catalysts than micrometre (or bigger) particles. In this paper, we focus on nano-sized manganese oxides as functional and structural models of the WOC of PSII for hydrogen production via water splitting and review nano-sized manganese oxides used in water oxidation by some research groups.

Learning Design Rules for Selective Oxidation Catalysts from High-Throughput Experimentation and Artificial Intelligence.

Project description:The design of heterogeneous catalysts is challenged by the complexity of materials and processes that govern reactivity and by the fact that the number of good catalysts is very small in comparison to the number of possible materials. Here, we show how the subgroup-discovery (SGD) artificial-intelligence approach can be applied to an experimental plus theoretical data set to identify constraints on key physicochemical parameters, the so-called SG rules, which exclusively describe materials and reaction conditions with outstanding catalytic performance. By using high-throughput experimentation, 120 SiO2-supported catalysts containing ruthenium, tungsten, and phosphorus were synthesized and tested in the catalytic oxidation of propylene. As candidate descriptive parameters, the temperature and 10 parameters related to the composition and chemical nature of the catalyst materials, derived from calculated free-atom properties, were offered. The temperature, the phosphorus content, and the composition-weighted electronegativity are identified as key parameters describing high yields toward the value-added oxygenate products acrolein and acrylic acid. The SG rules not only reflect the underlying processes particularly associated with high performance but also guide the design of more complex catalysts containing up to five elements in their composition.

Biosynthetic Approaches towards the Design of Artificial Hydrogen-Evolution Catalysts.

Project description:Hydrogen is a clean and sustainable form of fuel that can minimize our heavy dependence on fossil fuels as the primary energy source. The need of finding greener ways to generate H2 gas has ignited interest in the research community to synthesize catalysts that can produce H2 by the reduction of H+ . The natural H2 producing enzymes hydrogenases have served as an inspiration to produce catalytic metal centers akin to these native enzymes. In this article we describe recent advances in the design of a unique class of artificial hydrogen evolving catalysts that combine the features of the active site metal(s) surrounded by a polypeptide component. The examples of these biosynthetic catalysts discussed here include i) assemblies of synthetic cofactors with native proteins; ii) peptide-appended synthetic complexes; iii) substitution of native cofactors with non-native cofactors; iv) metal substitution from rubredoxin; and v) a reengineered Cu storage protein into a Ni binding protein. Aspects of key design considerations in the construction of these artificial biocatalysts and insights gained into their chemical reactivity are discussed.

Innovative multifunctional hybrid photoelectrode design based on a ternary heterojunction with super-enhanced efficiency for artificial photosynthesis.

Project description:Electrochemical cells for direct conversion of solar energy to electricity (or hydrogen) are one of the most sustainable solutions to meet the increasing worldwide energy demands. In this report, a novel and highly-efficient ternary heterojunction-structured Bi4O7/Bi3.33(VO4)2O2/Bi46V8O89 photoelectrode is presented. It is demonstrated that the combination of an inversion layer, induced by holes (or electrons) at the interface of the semiconducting Bi3.33(VO4)2O2 and Bi46V8O89 components, and the rectifying contact between the Bi4O7 and Bi3.33(VO4)2O2 phases acting afterward as a conventional p-n junction, creates an adjustable virtual p-n-p or n-p-n junction due to self-polarization in the ion-conducting Bi46V8O89 constituent. This design approach led to anodic and cathodic photocurrent densities of + 38.41 mA cm-2 (+ 0.76 VRHE) and- 2.48 mA cm-2 (0 VRHE), respectively. Accordingly, first, this heterojunction can be used either as photoanode or as photocathode with great performance for artificial photosynthesis, noting, second, that the anodic response reveals exceptionally high: more than 300% superior to excellent values previously reported in the literature.

Design of Pd-based pseudo-binary alloy catalysts for highly active and selective NO reduction.

Project description:The development of Pd-based alloy catalysts for highly active and selective reduction of NO by CO was investigated. A survey of Pd-based bimetallic catalysts (PdM/Al2O3: M = Cu, In, Pb, Sn, and Zn) revealed that the PdIn/Al2O3 catalyst displayed excellent N2 selectivity even at low temperatures (100% at 200 °C). The catalytic activity of PdIn was further improved by substituting a part of In with Cu, where a Pd(In1-x Cu x ) pseudo-binary alloy structure was formed. The optimized catalyst, namely, Pd(In0.33Cu0.67)/Al2O3, facilitated the complete conversion of NO to N2 (100% yield) even at 200 °C and higher, which has never been achieved using metallic catalysts. The formation of the pseudo-binary alloy structure was confirmed by the combination of HAADF-STEM-EDS, EXAFS, and CO-FT-IR analyses. A detailed mechanistic study based on kinetic analysis, operando XAFS, and DFT calculations revealed the roles of In and Cu in the significant enhancement of catalytic performance: (1) N2O adsorption and decomposition (N2O ? N2 + O) were drastically enhanced by In, thus resulting in high N2 selectivity; (2) CO oxidation was promoted by In, thus leading to enhanced low-temperature activity; and (3) Cu substitution improved NO adsorption and dissociation (NO ? N + O), thus resulting in the promotion of high-temperature activity.

Effects of Chlorine Addition on Nitrogen Oxide Reduction and Mercury Oxidation over Selective Catalytic Reduction Catalysts.

Project description:The effect of chlorine on mercury oxidation and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) reduction over selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts was investigated in this study. Commercial SCR catalysts achieved a high Hg0 oxidation efficiency when Cl2 was sprayed into the flue gas. Results indicated that an appropriate concentration of Cl2 was found to promote NO x reduction and Hg0 oxidation significantly. An optimal concentration of Cl2 (25 ppm) was found to significantly promote NO x reduction and Hg0 oxidation. Moreover, we studied the effects of Cl2 on NO x reduction and Hg0 oxidation over SCR catalysts under different concentrations of SO2. The SO2 poisoning effect was decreased by Cl2 when the SO2 concentration was low (below 1500 ppm). However, sulfate gradually covered the catalyst surface over time during the reaction, which limited the impact of Cl2. Finally, different sulfur-poisoned catalysts were examined in the presence of Cl2. The NO x reduction and Hg0 oxidation performances of sulfate-poisoned catalysts improved when Cl2 was added to the flue gas. Mechanisms for NO x reduction and Hg0 oxidation over fresh catalysts and sulfate-poisoned catalysts in the presence of Cl2 were proposed in this study. The mechanism of Cl2-influenced NO x reduction was similar to that for the NH3-SCR process. With Cl2 in the flue gas, the number of Brønsted active sites increased, which improved catalytic activity. Furthermore, Cl2 reoxidized V4+-OH to V5+=O and caused the NH3-SCR process to operate continuously. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism was followed for Hg0 oxidation by SCR catalysts when Cl2 was in the flue gas. Cl2 increased the number of Lewis active sites, and catalytic activity increased. Hg0 adsorbed on the surface of the catalysts and was then oxidized to HgCl2. Adding Cl2 to the flue gas increased the strength and number of acid sites on sulfate-poisoned catalysts.

Pyrimidoquinazolinophenanthroline Opens Next Chapter in Design of Bridging Ligands for Artificial Photosynthesis.

Project description:The synthesis and detailed characterization of a new Ru polypyridine complex containing a heteroditopic bridging ligand with previously unexplored metal-metal distances is presented. Due to the twisted geometry of the novel ligand, the resultant division of the ligand in two distinct subunits leads to steady state as well as excited state properties of the corresponding mononuclear Ru(II) polypyridine complex resembling those of prototype [Ru(bpy)3 ]2+ (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine). The localization of the initially optically excited and the nature of the long-lived excited states on the Ru-facing ligand spheres is evaluated by resonance Raman and fs-TA spectroscopy, respectively, and supported by DFT and TDDFT calculations. Coordination of a second metal (Zn or Rh) to the available bis-pyrimidyl-like coordination sphere strongly influences the frontier orbitals, apparent by, for example, luminescence quenching. Thus, the new bridging ligand motif offers electronic properties, which can be adjusted by the nature of the second metal center. Using the heterodinuclear Ru-Rh complex, visible light-driven reduction of NAD+ to NADH was achieved, highlighting the potential of this system for photocatalytic applications.

Molecule-based water-oxidation catalysts (WOCs): cluster-size-dependent dye-sensitized polyoxometalates for visible-light-driven O2 evolution.

Project description:From atomic level to understand the cluster-size-dependant behavior of dye-sensitized photocatalysts is very important and helpful to design new photocatalytic materials. Although the relationship between the photocatalytic behaviors and particles' size/shape has been widely investigated by theoretical scientists, the experimental evidences are much less. In this manuscript, we successfully synthesized three new ruthenium dye-sensitized polyoxometalates (POM-n, n relate to different size clusters) with different-sized POM clusters. Under visible-light illumination, all three complexes show the stable O2 evolution with the efficient order POM-3 > POM-2 > POM-1. This cluster-size-dependent catalytic behavior could be explained by the different numbers of M = Ot (terminal oxygen) bonds in each individual cluster because it is well-known that Mo = Ot groups are the catalytically active sites for photooxidation reaction. The proposed mechanism of water oxidation for the dye-sensitized POMs is radical reaction process. This research could open up new perspectives for developing new POM-based WOCs.

Rational design of graphdiyne-based single-atom catalysts for electrochemical CO<sub>2</sub> reduction reaction.

Project description:Graphdiyne (GDY) has achieved great success in the application of two-dimensional carbon materials in recent years due to its excellent electrochemical catalytic capacity. Considering the unique electronic structure of GDY, transition metal (TM1) (TM = Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, Ir) single-atom catalysts (SACs) with isolated loading on GDY were designed for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) with density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations. The charge density difference and projected densities of states have been systematically calculated. The mechanism of electrochemical catalysis and the reaction pathway of CO2RR over Os1/GDY catalysts have also been investigated and high catalytic activity was found for the generation of methane. The calculated results provide a theoretical basis for the design of efficient GDY-based SACs for electrochemical CO2RR.

A Facile Design for Water-Oxidation Molecular Catalysts Precise Assembling on Photoanodes.

Project description:Regulating the interfacial charge transfer behavior between cocatalysts and semiconductors remains a critical challenge for attaining efficient photoelectrochemical water oxidation reactions. Herein, using bismuth vanadate (BiVO4 ) photoanode as a model, it introduces an Au binding bridge as holes transfer channels onto the surfaces of BiVO4 , and the cyano-functionalized cobalt cubane (Co4 O4 ) molecules are preferentially immobilized on the Au bridge due to the strong adsorption of cyano groups with Au nanoparticles. This orchestrated arrangement facilitates the seamless transfer of photogenerated holes from BiVO4 to Co4 O4 molecules, forming an orderly charge transfer pathway connecting the light-absorbing layer to reactive sites. An exciting photocurrent density of 5.06 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (3.4 times that of BiVO4 ) is obtained by the Co4 O4 @Au(A)/BiVO4 photoanode, where the surface charge recombination is almost completely suppressed accompanied by a surface charge transfer efficiency over 95%. This work represents a promising strategy for accelerating interfacial charge transfer and achieving efficient photoelectrochemical water oxidation reaction.
