Grafting nanometer metal/oxide interface towards enhanced low-temperature acetylene semi-hydrogenation.

ABSTRACT: Metal/oxide interface is of fundamental significance to heterogeneous catalysis because the seemingly "inert" oxide support can modulate the morphology, atomic and electronic structures of the metal catalyst through the interface. The interfacial effects are well studied over a bulk oxide support but remain elusive for nanometer-sized systems like clusters, arising from the challenges associated with chemical synthesis and structural elucidation of such hybrid clusters. We hereby demonstrate the essential catalytic roles of a nanometer metal/oxide interface constructed by a hybrid Pd/Bi₂O₃ cluster ensemble, which is fabricated by a facile stepwise photochemical method. The Pd/Bi₂O₃ cluster, of which the hybrid structure is elucidated by combined electron microscopy and microanalysis, features a small Pd-Pd coordination number and more importantly a Pd-Bi spatial correlation ascribed to the heterografting between Pd and Bi terminated Bi₂O₃ clusters. The intra-cluster electron transfer towards Pd across the as-formed nanometer metal/oxide interface significantly weakens the ethylene adsorption without compromising the hydrogen activation. As a result, a 91% selectivity of ethylene and 90% conversion of acetylene can be achieved in a front-end hydrogenation process with a temperature as low as 44 °C.

Au@Pt Nanotubes within CoZn-Based Metal-Organic Framework for Highly Efficient Semi-hydrogenation of Acetylene.

Project description:Designing nanocatalysts with synergetic functional component is a desirable strategy to achieve both high activity and selectivity for industrially important hydrogenation reaction. Herein, we fabricated a core-shell hollow Au@Pt NTs@ZIFs (ZIF, zeolitic imidazolate framework; NT, nanotube) nanocomposite as highly efficient catalysts for semi-hydrogenation of acetylene. Hollow Au@Pt NTs were synthesized by epitaxial growth of Pt shell on Au nanorods followed with oxidative etching of Au@Pt nanorod. The obtained hollow Au@Pt NTs were then homogeneously encapsulated within ZIFs through in situ crystallization. By combining the high activity of bimetallic nanotube and gas enrichment property of porous metal-organic frameworks, hollow Au@Pt NT@ZIF catalyst was demonstrated to show superior catalytic performance for the semi-hydrogenation of acetylene, in terms of both selectivity and activity, over those of monometallic Au and solid bimetal nanorod@ZIF counterparts. This catalysts design idea is believed to be inspirable for the development of highly efficient nanocomposite catalysts.

Order-Induced Selectivity Increase of Cu60Pd40 in the Semi-Hydrogenation of Acetylene.

Project description:The two structural modifications of Cu60Pd40 were synthesized as bulk powders and tested as unsupported model catalysts in the semi-hydrogenation of acetylene. The partly ordered low-temperature modification (CsCl type of structure) showed an outstanding ethylene selectivity of >90% over 20 h on stream while the disordered high-temperature modification (Cu type of structure) was 20% less selective, indicating an influence of the degree of order in the crystal structure on the catalytic properties. The results are supported by XRD and in situ XPS experiments. The latter suggest the existence of partly isolated Pd sites on the surface. In situ PGAA investigations proved the absence of metal hydride formation during reaction. Quantum chemical calculations of the electronic structure of both modifications using the CPA-FPLO framework revealed significant differences in their respective density of states, thus still leaving open the question of whether the degree of structural order or/and the electronic hybridization is the decisive factor for the observed difference in selectivity.

Poly(ethylene glycol) nanocomposites of sub-nanometer metal oxide clusters for dynamic semi-solid proton conductive electrolytes.

Project description:Sub-nm-scale metal oxide clusters (PW12O40 3-) show high solubility in the melt of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and the obtained semi-solid nanocomposites show promising proton conductivities under ambient conditions. Suggested from scattering studies, the clusters are homogeneously dispersed in the PEG melt at the molecular scale with high loading amounts (70 wt%) and the formed real solutions can be stable for months with no aggregation or phase separation. The conductivities of the nanocomposites which are governed by the concentrations of H3PW12O40 can reach as high as 1.01 × 10-2 S cm-1 at the highest concentration. Due to the dynamic cross-linking hydrogen bonding between clusters and PEG, the nanocomposites behave like solids with negligible flow at high concentrations of clusters. Upon the application of high-speed shear forces (>32 s-1), the composites can flow with continuously decreasing viscosities. The shear thinning properties of the nanocomposites enable their convenient processing into required morphologies and the wettability of electrolytes to electrodes under typical high shear rate processing conditions and the safety of the produced devices can be ensured by their solid-like properties in the static state.

Anchoring Cu<sub>1</sub> species over nanodiamond-graphene for semi-hydrogenation of acetylene.

Project description:The design of cheap, non-toxic, and earth-abundant transition metal catalysts for selective hydrogenation of alkynes remains a challenge in both industry and academia. Here, we report a new atomically dispersed copper (Cu) catalyst supported on a defective nanodiamond-graphene (ND@G), which exhibits excellent catalytic performance for the selective conversion of acetylene to ethylene, i.e., with high conversion (95%), high selectivity (98%), and good stability (for more than 60 h). The unique structural feature of the Cu atoms anchored over graphene through Cu-C bonds ensures the effective activation of acetylene and easy desorption of ethylene, which is the key for the outstanding activity and selectivity of the catalyst.

Pd/MCM-41 catalyst for acetylene hydrogenation to ethylene.

Project description:This study aims to produce ethylene using the calcium carbide route, acetylene from calcium carbide and then selective hydrogenation of the high-concentration acetylene to ethylene. A series of catalysts with different supports, such as Al2O3, SiO2 and MCM-41, were prepared using the ethylene glycol reduction method and their catalytic properties for high-concentration acetylene hydrogenation of calcium carbide to ethylene were studied by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and thermogravimetry, among others. The results show that the small particle size and uniform dispersion of palladium (Pd) particles in the Pd/MCM-41 catalyst produced the highest ethylene yield of 62.09%. Then, the conditions for the basic reaction, such as reaction temperature and space velocity, were optimized using MCM-41 as a support. The yield of ethylene after condition optimization was as high as 82.87%, while the loading of Pd was 0.1%.

Towards sub-nanometer real-space observation of spin and orbital magnetism at the Fe/MgO interface.

Project description:While the performance of magnetic tunnel junctions based on metal/oxide interfaces is determined by hybridization, charge transfer, and magnetic properties at the interface, there are currently only limited experimental techniques with sufficient spatial resolution to directly observe these effects simultaneously in real-space. In this letter, we demonstrate an experimental method based on Electron Magnetic Circular Dichroism (EMCD) that will allow researchers to simultaneously map magnetic transitions and valency in real-space over interfacial cross-sections with sub-nanometer spatial resolution. We apply this method to an Fe/MgO bilayer system, observing a significant enhancement in the orbital to spin moment ratio that is strongly localized to the interfacial region. Through the use of first-principles calculations, multivariate statistical analysis, and Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy (EELS), we explore the extent to which this enhancement can be attributed to emergent magnetism due to structural confinement at the interface. We conclude that this method has the potential to directly visualize spin and orbital moments at buried interfaces in magnetic systems with unprecedented spatial resolution.

Hydrogenation and Hydrosilylation of Nitrous Oxide Homogeneously Catalyzed by a Metal Complex.

Project description:Due to its significant contribution to stratospheric ozone depletion and its potent greenhouse effect, nitrous oxide has stimulated much research interest regarding its reactivity modes and its transformations, which can lead to its abatement. We report the homogeneously catalyzed reaction of nitrous oxide (N2O) with H2. The reaction is catalyzed by a PNP pincer ruthenium complex, generating efficiently only dinitrogen and water, under mild conditions, thus providing a green, mild methodology for removal of nitrous oxide. The reaction proceeds through a sequence of dihydrogen activation, "O"-atom transfer, and dehydration, in which metal-ligand cooperation plays a central role. This approach was further developed to catalytic O-transfer from N2O to Si-H bonds.

Interface Interactions in Conjugated Polymer Composite with Metal Oxide Nanoparticles.

Project description:This study presents the preparation, characterization, and properties of a new composite containing cerium oxide nanoparticles and a conjugated polymer. CeO2 nanoparticles prepared using the co-precipitation method were dispersed into the conjugated polymer, prepared using the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. The interface interactions between the two components and the resultant optoelectronic properties of the composite are demonstrated. According to transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the dispersion of CeO2 nanoparticles in the polymer matrix strongly depends on the CeO2 nanoparticle concentration and results in different degrees of charge transfer. The photo-induced charge transfer and recombination processes were studied using steady-state optical spectroscopy, which shows a significant fluorescence quenching and red shifting in the composite. The higher photo-activity of the composite as compared to the single components was observed and explained. Unexpected room temperature ferromagnetism was observed in both components and all composites, of which the origin was attributed to the topology and defects.

Controllable Deposition of Bi onto Pd for Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene.

Project description:The rational regulation of catalyst active sites at atomic scale is a key approach to unveil the relationship between structure and catalytic performance. Herein, we reported a strategy for the controllable deposition of Bi on Pd nanocubes (Pd NCs) in the priority order from corners to edges and then to facets (Pd NCs@Bi). The spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (ac-STEM) results indicated that Bi2O3 with an amorphous structure covers the specific sites of Pd NCs. When only the corners and edges of the Pd NCs were covered, the supported Pd NCs@Bi catalyst exhibited an optimal trade-off between high conversion and selectivity in the hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene under ethylene-rich conditions (99.7% C2H2 conversion and 94.3% C2H4 selectivity at 170 °C) with remarkable long-term stability. According to the H2-TPR and C2H4-TPD measurements, the moderate hydrogen dissociation and the weak ethylene adsorption are responsible for this excellent catalytic performance. Following these results, the selectively Bi-deposited Pd nanoparticle catalysts showed incredible acetylene hydrogenation performance, which provides a feasible perspective to design and develop highly selective hydrogenation catalysts for industrial applications.

Chemical Influence of Carbon Interface Layers in Metal/Oxide Resistive Switches.

Project description:Thin layers introduced between a metal electrode and a solid electrolyte can significantly alter the transport of mass and charge at the interfaces and influence the rate of electrode reactions. C films embedded in functional materials can change the chemical properties of the host, thereby altering the functionality of the whole device. Using X-ray spectroscopies, here we demonstrate that the chemical and electronic structures in a representative redox-based resistive switching (RS) system, Ta2O5/Ta, can be tuned by inserting a graphene or ultrathin amorphous C layer. The results of the orbitalwise analyses of synchrotron Ta L3-edge, C K-edge, and O K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy showed that the C layers between Ta2O5 and Ta are significantly oxidized to form COx and, at the same time, oxidize the Ta layers with different degrees of oxidation depending on the distance: full oxidation at the nearest 5 nm Ta and partial oxidation in the next 15 nm Ta. The depth-resolved information on the electronic structure for each layer further revealed a significant modification of the band alignments due to C insertion. Full oxidation of the Ta metal near the C interlayer suggests that the oxygen-vacancy-related valence change memory mechanism for the RS can be suppressed, thereby changing the RS functionalities fundamentally. The knowledge on the origin of C-enhanced surfaces can be applied to other metal/oxide interfaces and used for the advanced design of memristive devices.
