Investigating the role of Cu-oxo species in Cu-nitrate formation over Cu-CHA catalysts.

ABSTRACT: The speciation of framework-interacting Cu^II sites in Cu-chabazite zeolite catalysts active in the selective catalytic reduction of NO_x with NH₃ is studied, to investigate the influence of the Al content on the copper structure and their reactivity towards a NO/O₂ mixture. To this aim, three samples with similar Cu densities and different Si/Al ratios (5, 15 and 29) were studied using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), FTIR and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis during pretreatment in O₂ followed by the reaction. XAS and UV-Vis data clearly show the main presence of Z₂Cu^II sites (with Z representing a framework negative charge) at a low Si/Al ratio, as predicted. EXAFS wavelet transform analysis showed a non-negligible fraction of proximal Z₂Cu^II monomers, possibly stabilized into two 6-membered rings within the same cage. These sites are not able to form Cu-nitrates by interaction with NO/O₂. By contrast, framework-anchored Z[Cu^II(NO₃)] complexes with a chelating bidentate structure are formed in samples with a higher Si/Al ratio, by reaction of NO/O₂ with Z[Cu^II(OH)] sites or structurally similar mono- or multi-copper Z_x[Cu^II_xO_y] sites. Linear combination fit (LCF) analysis of the XAS data showed good agreement between the fraction of Z[Cu^II(OH)]/Z_x[Cu^II_xO_y] sites formed during activation in O₂ and that of Z[Cu^II(NO₃)] complexes formed by reaction with NO/O₂, further confirming the chemical inertia of Z₂Cu^II towards these reactants in the absence of solvating NH₃ molecules.

Mobility and Reactivity of Cu+ Species in Cu-CHA Catalysts under NH3-SCR-NOx Reaction Conditions: Insights from AIMD Simulations.

Project description:The mobility of the copper cations acting as active sites for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia in Cu-CHA catalysts varies with temperature and feed composition. Herein, the migration of [Cu(NH3)2]+ complexes between two adjacent cavities of the chabazite structure, including other reactant molecules (NO, O2, H2O, and NH3), in the initial and final cavities is investigated using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations combined with enhanced sampling techniques to describe hopping events from one cage to the other. We find that such diffusion is only significantly hindered by the presence of excess NH3 or NO in the initial cavity, since both reactants form with [Cu(NH3)2]+ stable intermediates which are too bulky to cross the 8-ring windows connecting the cavities. The presence of O2 modifies strongly the interaction of NO with Cu+. At low temperatures, we observe NO detachment from Cu+ and increased mobility of the [Cu(NH3)2]+ complex, while at high temperatures, NO reacts spontaneously with O2 to form NO2. The present simulations give evidence for recent experimental observations, namely, an NH3 inhibition effect on the SCR reaction at low temperatures, and transport limitations of NO and NH3 at high temperatures. Our first principle simulations mimicking operating conditions support the existence of two different reaction mechanisms operating at low and high temperatures, the former involving dimeric Cu(NH3)2-O2-Cu(NH3)2 species and the latter occurring by direct NO oxidation to NO2 in one single cavity.

Composition-driven Cu-speciation and reducibility in Cu-CHA zeolite catalysts: a multivariate XAS/FTIR approach to complexity.

Project description:The small pore Cu-CHA zeolite is attracting increasing attention as a versatile platform to design novel single-site catalysts for deNO x applications and for the direct conversion of methane to methanol. Understanding at the atomic scale how the catalyst composition influences the Cu-species formed during thermal activation is a key step to unveil the relevant composition-activity relationships. Herein, we explore by in situ XAS the impact of Cu-CHA catalyst composition on temperature-dependent Cu-speciation and reducibility. Advanced multivariate analysis of in situ XANES in combination with DFT-assisted simulation of XANES spectra and multi-component EXAFS fits as well as in situ FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed N2 allow us to obtain unprecedented quantitative structural information on the complex dynamics during the speciation of Cu-sites inside the framework of the CHA zeolite.

Appraising Multinuclear Cu2+ Structure Formation in Cu-CHA SCR Catalysts via Low-T Dry CO Oxidation with Modulated NH3 Solvation.

Project description:Cu2+ ions (ZCu2+ (OH)- , Z2 Cu2+ ) are regarded as the NH3 -SCR (SCR=selective catalytic reduction) active site precursors of Cu-exchanged chabazite (CHA) which is among the best available catalysts for the abatement of NOx from Diesel engines. During SCR operation, copper sites undergo reduction (Reduction half-cycle, RHC: Cu2+ →Cu+ ) and oxidation (Oxidaton half-cycle, OHC: Cu+ →Cu2+ ) semi cycles, whose associated mechanisms are still debated. We recently proposed CO oxidation to CO2 as an effective method to probe the formation of multinuclear Cu2+ species as the initial low-T RHC step. NH3 pre-adsorption determined a net positive effect on the CO2 production: by solvating ZCu2+ (OH)- ions, ammonia enhances their mobility, favoring their coupling to form binuclear complexes which can catalyze the reaction. In this work, dry CO oxidation experiments, preceded by modulated NH3 feed phases, clearly showed that CO2 production enhancements are correlated with the extent of Cu2+ ion solvation by NH3 . Analogies with the SCR-RHC phase are evidenced: the NH3 -Cu2+ presence ensures the characteristic dynamics associated with a second order kinetic dependence on the oxidized Cu2+ fraction. These findings provide novel information on the NH3 role in the low-T SCR redox mechanism and on the nature of the related active catalyst sites.

Ethynylation of Formaldehyde over Binary Cu-Based Catalysts: Study on Synergistic Effect between Cu+ Species and Acid/Base Sites.

Project description:Most studies on the Cu-based catalysts in the ethynylation of formaldehyde are merely focused on the tuning of electronic configuration and dispersion of the Cu+ species. So far, little attention has been paid to the synergy between Cu species and promoters. Herein, binary nano-CuO-MOx catalysts (M = Si, Al, and Mg) were synthesized and the effects of the promoter on the surface basicity/acidity were systematically studied as well as the ethynylation performance of the nano-CuO-based catalysts. The results show that the introduction of MgO provided a large number of basic sites, which could coordinate with the active Cu+ species and facilitate the dissociation of acetylene as HC ≡ Cδ- and Hδ+. The strongly nucleophilic acetylenic carbon (HC≡Cδ-) is favorable to the attack at the electropositive carbonyl Cδ+ of formaldehyde. The MgO-promoted CuO catalyst showed the highest yield of BD (94%) and the highest stability (the BD yield decreased only from 94% to 82% after eight reaction cycles). SiO2 effectively dispersed Cu species, which improved catalytic activity and stability. However, the introduction of Al2O3 resulted in a large number of acidic sites on the catalyst's surface. This led to the polymerization of acetylene, which covered the active sites and decreased the catalyst's activity.

Pure Acetylene Semihydrogenation over Ni-Cu Bimetallic Catalysts: Effect of the Cu/Ni Ratio on Catalytic Performance.

Project description:Ethylene is an important chemical raw material and with the increasing consumption of petroleum resources, the production of ethylene through the calcium carbide acetylene route has important research significance. In this work, a series of bimetallic catalysts with different Cu/Ni molar ratios are prepared by co-impregnation method for the hydrogenation of calcium carbide acetylene to ethylene. The introduction of an appropriate amount of Cu effectively inhibits not only the formation of ethane and green oil, thus increasing the selectivity of ethylene, but also the formation of carbon deposits, which improves the stability of the catalyst. The ethylene selectivity of the Ni-Cu bimetallic catalyst increases from 45% to 63% compared with the Ni monometallic counterpart and the acetylene conversion still can reach 100% at the optimal conditions of 250 °C, 8000 mL·g-1·h-1 and V(H2)/V(C2H2) = 3. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the metal particles were highly dispersed on the support, High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and H2-Temperature programmed reduction proved that there was an interaction between Ni and Cu, combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations results, Cu transferred electrons to Ni changed the Ni electron cloud density in NiCux catalysts, thus reducing the adsorption of acetylene and ethylene, which is favorable to ethylene selectivity.

Spectroscopic Definition of a Highly Reactive Site in Cu-CHA for Selective Methane Oxidation: Tuning a Mono-μ-Oxo Dicopper(II) Active Site for Reactivity.

Project description:Using UV-vis and resonance Raman spectroscopy, we identify a [Cu2O]2+ active site in O2 and N2O activated Cu-CHA that reacts with methane to form methanol at low temperature. The Cu-O-Cu angle (120°) is smaller than that for the [Cu2O]2+ core on Cu-MFI (140°), and its coordination geometry to the zeolite lattice is different. Site-selective kinetics obtained by operando UV-vis show that the [Cu2O]2+ core on Cu-CHA is more reactive than the [Cu2O]2+ site in Cu-MFI. From DFT calculations, we find that the increased reactivity of Cu-CHA is a direct reflection of the strong [Cu2OH]2+ bond formed along the H atom abstraction reaction coordinate. A systematic evaluation of these [Cu2O]2+ cores reveals that the higher O-H bond strength in Cu-CHA is due to the relative orientation of the two planes of the coordinating bidentate O-Al-O T-sites that connect the [Cu2O]2+ core to the zeolite lattice. This work along with our earlier study ( J. Am. Chem. Soc, 2018, 140, 9236-9243) elucidates how zeolite lattice constraints can influence active site reactivity.

Hydrogen Production from Methanol Steam Reforming over Fe-Modified Cu/CeO2 Catalysts.

Project description:Fe-modified Cu catalysts with CeO2 support, prepared by the impregnation method, were subjected to physicochemical analysis and catalytic tests in the steam reforming of methanol (SRM). Physicochemical studies of the catalysts were carried out using the XRF, TEM, STEM-EDS, XRD, TPR and nitrogen adsorption/desorption methods. XRD, TEM studies and catalytic tests of the catalysts were carried out at two reduction temperatures, 260 °C and 400 °C, to determine the relationship between the form and oxidation state of the active phase of the catalysts and the catalytic properties of these systems in the SRM. Additionally, the catalysts after the reaction were analysed for the changes in the structure and morphology using TEM methods. The presented results show that the composition of the catalysts, morphology, structure, form and oxidation state of the Cu and Fe active metals in the catalysts and the reaction temperature significantly impact their activity, selectivity and stability in the SRM process. The gradual deactivation of the studied catalysts under SRM conditions could result from the forming of carbon deposits and/or the gradual oxidation of the copper and iron phases under the reaction conditions.

Hydrodeoxygenation of Levulinic Acid to γ-Valerolactone over Mesoporous Silica-Supported Cu-Ni Composite Catalysts.

Project description:Monometallic (Cu, Ni) and bimetallic (Cu-Ni) catalysts supported on KIT-6 based mesoporous silica/zeolite composites were prepared using the wet impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, N2 physisorption, SEM, solid state NMR and H2-TPR methods. Finely dispersed NiO and CuO were detected after the decomposition of impregnating salt on the silica carrier. The formation of small fractions of ionic Ni2+ and/or Cu2+ species, interacting strongly with the silica supports, was found. The catalysts were studied in the gas-phase upgrading of lignocellulosic biomass-derived levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL). The bimetallic, CuNi-KIT-6 catalyst showed 100% LA conversion at 250 °C and atmospheric pressure. The high LA conversion and GVL yield can be attributed to the high specific surface area and finely dispersed Cu-Ni species in the catalyst. Furthermore, the catalyst also exhibited high stability after 24 h of reaction time with a GVL yield above 80% without any significant change in metal dispersion.
