Distance Effect of Ni-Pt Dual Sites for Active Hydrogen Transfer in Tandem Reaction.

ABSTRACT: Unveiling the distance effect between different sites in multifunctional catalysts remains a major challenge. Herein, we investigate the distance effect by constructing a dual-site distance-controlled tandem catalyst with a five-layered TiO₂/Pt/TiO₂/Ni/TiO₂ tubular nanostructure by template-assisted atomic layer deposition. In this catalyst, the Ni and Pt sites are separated by a porous TiO₂ interlayer, and the distance between them can be precisely controlled on the subnanometer scale by altering the thickness of the interlayer, while the inner and outer porous TiO₂ layers are designed for structural stability. The catalyst exhibits superior performance for the tandem hydrazine hydrate decomposition to hydrogen and subsequent nitrobenzene hydrogenation when the Ni and Pt site distance is on the subnanometer level. The performance increases with the decrease of the distance and is better than the catalyst without the TiO₂ interlayer. Isotopic and kinetic experiments reveal that the distance effect controls the transfer of active hydrogen, which is the rate-determining step of the tandem reaction in a water solvent. Reduced Ti species with oxygen vacancies on the TiO₂ interlayer provide the active sites for hydrogen transfer with -Ti-OH surface intermediates via the continuous chemisorption/desorption of water. A smaller distance induces the generation of more active sites for hydrogen transfer and thus higher efficiency in the synergy of Ni and Pt sites. Our work provides new insight for the distance effect of different active sites and the mechanism of intermediate transfer in tandem reactions.

Atomic layer deposited Pt-Ru dual-metal dimers and identifying their active sites for hydrogen evolution reaction.

Project description:Single atom catalysts exhibit particularly high catalytic activities in contrast to regular nanomaterial-based catalysts. Until recently, research has been mostly focused on single atom catalysts, and it remains a great challenge to synthesize bimetallic dimer structures. Herein, we successfully prepare high-quality one-to-one A-B bimetallic dimer structures (Pt-Ru dimers) through an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. The Pt-Ru dimers show much higher hydrogen evolution activity (more than 50 times) and excellent stability compared to commercial Pt/C catalysts. X-ray absorption spectroscopy indicates that the Pt-Ru dimers structure model contains one Pt-Ru bonding configuration. First principle calculations reveal that the Pt-Ru dimer generates a synergy effect by modulating the electronic structure, which results in the enhanced hydrogen evolution activity. This work paves the way for the rational design of bimetallic dimers with good activity and stability, which have a great potential to be applied in various catalytic reactions.

Synergistic Pt-WO<sub>3</sub> Dual Active Sites to Boost Hydrogen Production from Ammonia Borane.

Project description:Development of synergistic heterogeneous catalysts with active sites working cooperatively has been a pursuit of chemists. Herein, we report for the first time the fabrication and manipulation of Pt-WO3 dual-active-sites to boost hydrogen generation from ammonia borane. A combination of DFT calculations, structural characterization, and kinetic (isotopic) analysis reveals that Pt and WO3 act as the active sites for ammonia borane and H2O activation, respectively. A trade-off between the promoting effect of WO3 and the negative effect of decreased Pt binding energy contributes to a volcano-shaped activity, and Pt/CNT-5W delivers a 4-fold increased activity of 710.1 molH2·molPt-1·min-1. Moreover, WO3 is suggested to simultaneously act as the sacrificial site that can divert B-containing by-products away from Pt sites against deactivation, yielding an increase from 24% to 68% of the initial activity after five cycles. The strategy demonstrated here could shed a new light on the design and manipulation of dual-active-site catalysts.

Pt-O bond as an active site superior to Pt<sup>0</sup> in hydrogen evolution reaction.

Project description:The oxidized platinum (Pt) can exhibit better electrocatalytic activity than metallic Pt0 in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which has aroused great interest in exploring the role of oxygen in Pt-based catalysts. Herein, we select two structurally well-defined polyoxometalates Na5[H3Pt(IV)W6O24] (PtW6O24) and Na3K5[Pt(II)2(W5O18)2] (Pt2(W5O18)2) as the platinum oxide model to investigate the HER performance. Electrocatalytic experiments show the mass activities of PtW6O24/C and Pt2(W5O18)2/C are 20.175 A mg-1 and 10.976 A mg-1 at 77 mV, respectively, which are better than that of commercial 20% Pt/C (0.398 A mg-1). The in situ synchrotron radiation experiments and DFT calculations suggest that the elongated Pt-O bond acts as the active site during the HER process, which can accelerate the coupling of proton and electron and the rapid release of H2. This work complements the knowledge boundary of Pt-based electrocatalytic HER, and suggests another way to update the state-of-the-art electrocatalyst.

Common hydrogen bond interactions in diverse phosphoryl transfer active sites.

Project description:Phosphoryl transfer reactions figure prominently in energy metabolism, signaling, transport and motility. Prior detailed studies of selected systems have highlighted mechanistic features that distinguish different phosphoryl transfer enzymes. Here, a top-down approach is developed for comparing statistically the active site configurations between populations of diverse structures in the Protein Data Bank, and it reveals patterns of hydrogen bonding that transcend enzyme families. Through analysis of large samples of structures, insights are drawn at a level of detail exceeding the experimental precision of an individual structure. In phosphagen kinases, for example, hydrogen bonds with the O3? of the nucleotide substrate are revealed as analogous to those in unrelated G proteins. In G proteins and other enzymes, interactions with O3? have been understood in terms of electrostatic favoring of the transition state. Ground state quantum mechanical calculations on model compounds show that the active site interactions highlighted in our database analysis can affect substrate phosphate charge and bond length, in ways that are consistent with prior experimental observations, by modulating hyperconjugative orbital interactions that weaken the scissile bond. Testing experimentally the inference about the importance of O3? interactions in phosphagen kinases, mutation of arginine kinase Arg280 decreases kcat, as predicted, with little impact upon KM.

Portable visual and electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide release from living cells based on dual-functional Pt-Ni hydrogels.

Project description:It is important to monitor the intra-/extracellular concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in biological processes. However, miniaturized devices that enable portable and accurate H2O2 measurement are still in their infancy because of the difficulty of developing facile sensing strategies and highly integrated sensing devices. In this work, portable H2O2 sensors based on Pt-Ni hydrogels with excellent peroxidase-like and electrocatalytic activities are demonstrated. Thus, simple and sensitive H2O2 sensing is achieved through both colorimetric and electrochemical strategies. The as-fabricated H2O2 sensing chips exhibit favorable performance, with low detection limits (0.030 μM & 0.15 μM), wide linearity ranges (0.10 μM-10.0 mM & 0.50 μM-5.0 mM), outstanding long-term stability (up to 60 days), and excellent selectivity. With the aid of an M5stack development board, portable visual and electrochemical H2O2 sensors are successfully constructed without complicated and expensive equipment or professional operators. When applied to the detection of H2O2 released from HeLa cells, the results obtained by the developed sensors are in good agreement with those from an ultraviolet‒visible spectrophotometer (UV‒vis) (1.97 μM vs. 2.08 μM) and electrochemical station (1.77 μM vs. 1.84 μM).

Distance variations between active sites of H(+)-pyrophosphatase determined by fluorescence resonance energy transfer.

Project description:Homodimeric H(+)-pyrophosphatase (H(+)-PPase; EC 3.6.1.1) is a unique enzyme playing a pivotal physiological role in pH homeostasis of organisms. This novel H(+)-PPase supplies energy at the expense of hydrolyzing metabolic byproduct, pyrophosphate (PP(i)), for H(+) translocation across membrane. The functional unit for the translocation is considered to be a homodimer. Its putative active site on each subunit consists of PP(i) binding motif, Acidic I and II motifs, and several essential residues. In this investigation structural mapping of these vital regions was primarily determined utilizing single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Distances between two C termini and also two N termini on homodimeric subunits of H(+)-PPase are 49.3 + or - 4.0 and 67.2 + or - 5.7 A, respectively. Furthermore, putative PP(i) binding motifs on individual subunits are found to be relatively far away from each other (70.8 + or - 4.8 A), whereas binding of potassium and substrate analogue led them to closer proximity. Moreover, substrate analogue but not potassium elicits significant distance variations between two Acidic I motifs and two His-622 residues on homodimeric subunits. Taken together, this study provides the first quantitative measurements of distances between various essential motifs, residues, and putative active sites on homodimeric subunits of H(+)-PPase. A working model is accordingly proposed elucidating the distance variations of dimeric H(+)-PPase upon substrate binding.

Synergistic effect of nano-Pt and Ni spine for HER in alkaline solution: hydrogen spillover from nano-Pt to Ni spine.

Project description:The design of active, stable, and cost-effective electrocatalysts for the H2 evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline conditions is important for electrochemical systems such as the chloro-alkaline process and H2 production. Here we report catalysts comprising Pt on Ni single crystalline spines (Pt/Ni-SP) with high activity and stability for HER in alkaline solution with proposed mechanism. The Pt/Ni-SP catalysts are prepared by dispersing platinum nanoparticles (1.7-3.1?nm) on the single-crystalline spines (Ni-SP) of Ni urchin-like particles. The size and coverage of Pt nanoparticles on Ni-SP are increased with increases in the Pt loading amount. X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy are performed to observe the structure of the Pt/Ni-SP catalyst. The catalysts achieve the mass activity of 1.11?A?mg-1(Pt), comparing favorably to Pt/C catalysts with the mass activity of 0.33?A?mg-1(Pt) at 0.05?V overpotential. The Tafel slope of the Pt/Ni-SP catalyst is approximately 30?mV?dec-1, similar to that of Pt, while Pt/Ni-SP is very stable in alkaline solution, like Ni. The synergistic effect of Pt/Ni-SP is ascribed to H spillover from Pt to Ni.

Dynamic structure of active sites in ceria-supported Pt catalysts for the water gas shift reaction.

Project description:Oxide-supported noble metal catalysts have been extensively studied for decades for the water gas shift (WGS) reaction, a catalytic transformation central to a host of large volume processes that variously utilize or produce hydrogen. There remains considerable uncertainty as to how the specific features of the active metal-support interfacial bonding-perhaps most importantly the temporal dynamic changes occurring therein-serve to enable high activity and selectivity. Here we report the dynamic characteristics of a Pt/CeO2 system at the atomic level for the WGS reaction and specifically reveal the synergistic effects of metal-support bonding at the perimeter region. We find that the perimeter Pt0 - O vacancy-Ce3+ sites are formed in the active structure, transformed at working temperatures and their appearance regulates the adsorbate behaviors. We find that the dynamic nature of this site is a key mechanistic step for the WGS reaction.

Ni(OH)2 Decorated Pt-Cu Octahedra for Ethanol Electrooxidation Reaction.

Project description:Here we report the synthesis of 9 nm Ni(OH)2 decorated Pt-Cu octahedra (Ni(OH)2-PtCu) in one-pot synthesis for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) electrocatalysis in acidic electrolyte. To prepare Ni(OH)2-PtCu octahedra, CO gas was directly introduced in a reaction process as selective capping agents on the PtCu(111) facet. Ni(OH)2 was naturally deposited on the Pt-Cu octahedra during the synthesis. Carbon supported Ni(OH)2-PtCu (Ni(OH)2-PtCu/C) as an EOR catalyst showed enhanced CO tolerance due to the existence of oxophilic Ni(OH)2 on the surface of Pt-Cu, facilitating water dissolution to produce OH adsorption and to promote complete CO oxidation to CO2. In addition, Pt-Cu alloy composition also showed improvement of CO tolerance because of modified d-band structure of the Pt atoms, thereby weakening the binding strength of CO on the catalysts. Therefore, the Ni(OH)2-PtCu/C showed enhanced EOR activity and durability compared to the Pt-Cu octahedra and commercial Pt/C counterparts.

Catalytically Active Sites on Ni5P4 for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution Reaction From Atomic Scale Calculation.

Project description:Ni5P4 has received considerable attention recently as a potentially viable substitute for Pt as the cathode material for catalytic water splitting. The current investigation focuses on theoretical understandings of the characteristics of active sites toward water splitting using first-principle calculations. The results indicate that the activity of bridge NiNi sites is highly related on the bond number with neighbors. If the total bond number of NiNi is higher than 14, the sites will exhibit excellent HER performance. For the top P sites, the activity is greatly affected by the position of coplanar atoms besides the bond number. Data of bond length with neighbors can be used to predict the activity of P sites as reviewed by machine learning. Partial density of state (PDOS) analysis of different P sites illustrates that the activity of P sites should form the appropriate bond to localize some 3p orbits of the P atoms. Bond number and position of neighbors are two key parameters for the prediction of the HER activity. Based on the current work, most of the low-energy surfaces of Ni5P4 are active, indicating a good potential of this materials for hydrogen evolution reactions.
