Reversing sintering effect of Ni particles on γ-Mo₂N via strong metal support interaction.

ABSTRACT: Reversing the thermal induced sintering phenomenon and forming high temperature stable fine dispersed metallic centers with unique structural and electronic properties is one of the ever-lasting targets of heterogeneous catalysis. Here we report that the dispersion of metallic Ni particles into under-coordinated two-dimensional Ni clusters over γ-Mo₂N is a thermodynamically favorable process based on the AIMD simulation. A Ni-4nm/γ-Mo₂N model catalyst is synthesized and used to further study the reverse sintering effect by the combination of multiple in-situ characterization methods, including in-situ quick XANES and EXAFS, ambient pressure XPS and environmental SE/STEM etc. The under-coordinated two-dimensional layered Ni clusters on molybdenum nitride support generated from the Ni-4nm/γ-Mo₂N has been demonstrated to be a thermally stable catalyst in 50 h stability test in CO₂ hydrogenation, and exhibits a remarkable catalytic selectivity reverse compared with traditional Ni particles-based catalyst, leading to a chemo-specific CO₂ hydrogenation to CO.

Solvent-free microwave synthesis of ultra-small Ru-Mo2C@CNT with strong metal-support interaction for industrial hydrogen evolution.

Project description:Exploring a simple, fast, solvent-free synthetic method for large-scale preparation of cheap, highly active electrocatalysts for industrial hydrogen evolution reaction is one of the most promising work today. In this work, a simple, fast and solvent-free microwave pyrolysis method is used to synthesize ultra-small (3.5 nm) Ru-Mo2C@CNT catalyst with heterogeneous structure and strong metal-support interaction in one step. The Ru-Mo2C@CNT catalyst only exhibits an overpotential of 15 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, and exhibits a large turnover frequency value up to 21.9 s-1 under an overpotential of 100 mV in 1.0 M KOH. In addition, this catalyst can reach high current densities of 500 mA cm-2 and 1000 mA cm-2 at low overpotentials of 56 mV and 78 mV respectively, and it displays high stability of 1000 h. This work provides a feasible way for the reasonable design of other large-scale production catalysts.

Strong Metal-Support Interactions of Ni-CeO2 Effectively Improve the Performance of a Molten Hydroxide Direct Carbon Fuel Cell.

Project description:A strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) type catalyst has been synthesized and applied to a molten hydroxide direct carbon fuel cell (MHDCFC) to enhance the reaction activity of the anode carbon fuel through the interaction between the metal Ni and the support CeO2. Two catalysts have been prepared by a direct precipitation method (denoted NiO@CeO2) and a hydrothermal method (denoted NiO-CeO2), which are reduced by H2 to obtain Ni@CeO2 and Ni-CeO2, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman, and temperature-programmed hydrogen reduction (H2-TPR) analysis results show that there are obvious oxygen vacancies and a Ni-O-Ce interface structure in NiO-CeO2 and Ni-CeO2, which is induced by the interaction between Ni and CeO2. The calculation results of current density and power density show that the performance of the MHDCFC is significantly improved in the presence of Ni-CeO2. The function fitting curves of the logarithm of the reaction rate constant (ln k) and the reciprocal of the temperature (1/T) show that the slope of the curve is decreased significantly after the addition of Ni-CeO2. In combination with density functional theory (DFT), the anode carbon reaction path is simulated in the MHDCFC, and the calculation results show that the reaction energy for the anodic carbon to generate carbon dioxide is decreased by 1.03 eV in the presence of Ni-CeO2.

Coking-resistant dry reforming of methane over Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts by rationally steering metal-support interaction.

Project description:The coking issue is the main challenge for dry reforming of methane (DRM) over Ni-based catalysts. Herein, we excavate the reasons for the enhanced coking resistance of the bounded Ni over the free state Ni in Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts for DRM. Rational metal-support interaction of the bounded Ni would facilitate desorption of CO, thus suppressing CO disproportionation and decreasing carbon deposition. The higher activity of the bounded Ni is ascribed to better methane cracking ability, stronger adsorption, and activation of CO2 by forming polydentate carbonate. The better activation of CO2 over the bounded Ni would also contribute to the gasification of formed coke. We gain an insight into the anti-coking mechanism of DRM determined by metal-support interaction in Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts through mechanistic studies. It is believed that our findings would enlighten the design of more efficient catalysts for DRM.

Size-dependent strong metal-support interaction in TiO2 supported Au nanocatalysts.

Project description:The strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) has long been studied in heterogonous catalysis on account of its importance in stabilizing active metals and tuning catalytic performance. As a dynamic process taking place at the metal-support interface, the SMSI is closely related to the metal surface properties which are usually affected by the size of metal nanoparticles (NPs). In this work we report the discovery of a size effect on classical SMSI in Au/TiO2 catalyst where larger Au particles are more prone to be encapsulated than smaller ones. A thermodynamic equilibrium model was established to describe this phenomenon. According to this finding, the catalytic performance of Au/TiO2 catalyst with uneven size distribution can be improved by selectively encapsulating the large Au NPs in a hydrogenation reaction. This work not only brings in-depth understanding of the SMSI phenomenon and its formation mechanism, but also provides an alternative approach to refine catalyst performance.

Mo3Ni2N Nanoparticle Generation by Spark Discharge.

Project description:Spark ablation is an advantageous method for the generation of metallic nanoparticles with defined particle sizes and compositions. The reaction of the metal particles with the carrier gas during the synthesis and, therefore, the incorporation of those light elements into structural voids or even compound formation was confirmed for hydrides and oxides but has only been suspected to occur for nitrides. In this study, dispersed nanoparticles of Mo3Ni2N and Mo with Janus morphology, and defined particle sizes were obtained by spark discharge generation as a result of carrier gas ionization and characterized using transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. Metal nitrides possess beneficial catalytic and thermoelectric properties, as well as high hardness and wear resistance. Therefore, this method offers the possibility of controlled synthesis of materials which are interesting for numerous applications.

Stable Cu Catalysts Supported by Two-dimensional SiO2 with Strong Metal-Support Interaction.

Project description:Cu-based catalysts exhibit excellent performance in hydrogenation reactions. However, the poor stability of Cu catalysts under high temperatures has restricted their practical applications. The preparation of stable Cu catalysts supported by SiO2 with strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) has thus aroused great interest due to the high abundance, low toxicity, feasible processability, and low cost of SiO2 . The challenge in the construction of such SMSI remains to be the inertness of SiO2 . Herein, a simple and scalable method is developed to prepare 2D silica (2DSiO2 ) supported Cu catalysts with SMSI by carefully manipulating the topological exfoliation of CaSi2 with CuCl2 and thereafter calcination. The prepared Cu-2DSiO2 catalysts with the unique encapsulated Cu nanoparticles exhibit excellent activity and long-term stability in high-temperature CO2 hydrogenation reactions. This feasible and low-cost solution for stabilizing Cu catalysts might shed light on their realistic applications.

Two-dimension on two-dimension growth: hierarchical Ni0.2Mo0.8N/Fe-doped Ni3N nanosheet array for overall water splitting.

Project description:Developing advanced electrocatalysts with low cost for electrocatalytic water splitting are highly desirable. Herein, we report the design of two-dimension on two-dimension growth of hierarchical Ni0.2Mo0.8N nanosheets on Fe-doped Ni3N nanosheets supported on Ni foam (Ni0.2Mo0.8N/Fe-Ni3N/NF) via hydrothermal reaction and nitridation treatment. In the hierarchical structures, small Ni0.2Mo0.8N nanosheets were uniformly anchored on Fe-Ni3N nanosheets. Due to enhanced electron transfer between Ni0.2Mo0.8N and Fe-Ni3N, Ni0.2Mo0.8N/Fe-Ni3N/NF exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). After stability tests for 50 h, Ni0.2Mo0.8N/Fe-Ni3N/NF exhibits negligible degradation of the current density for the OER (91% remain) and HER (95% remain), suggesting excellent stability. Owing to the outstanding performance, Ni0.2Mo0.8N/Fe-Ni3N/NF display a cell voltage of 1.54 V (10 mA cm-2) for electrocatalytic overall water splitting.

Photocatalytic Desulfurization of Thiophene with Chevrel Phase Ni2Mo6S8 Synthesized by SHS.

Project description:The Chevrel phase compounds Cu4Mo6S8, Ni2Mo6S8, and Fe2Mo6S8, synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis, were evaluated as photocatalysts for visible light photocatalytic desulfurization. Investigations began with reflectance measurements from which absorbance spectra were calculated using the Kubelka-Munk transformation. The absorbance data was then used to create Tauc plots to find the direct and indirect bandgaps of the Chevrel phase compounds. Bandgaps were found to be no more than the 1.74 eV for Ni2Mo6S8, so it was selected for further study because this bandgap suggests it will use the sun's emission spectrum better than the other materials studied here. Photocatalytic desulfurization experiments studied the concentration of thiophene mixed into n-octane with and without exposure to Ni2Mo6S8 with and without light exposure because of the relative difficulty of removing thiophenes from liquid fossil fuels by the industry standard hydrodesulfurization process. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy was used to analyze chemical changes in the thiophene-octane solution. Spectroscopic results demonstrate that the thiophene was effectively removed by exposure to Ni2Mo6S8 and visible light together but not by exposure to Ni2Mo6S8 or visible light alone. Multiple tests with the same Ni2Mo6S8 sample demonstrate that the material is reusable as a catalyst for photocatalytic desulfurization. The proposed mechanism results in the release of SO x species, which may be controlled and captured if separated from fossil fuels in bulk during industrial processing in contrast to their uncontrolled release as vehicle fuel exhaust. Controlled generation and collection of these species can allow for further processing into elemental sulfur in the same way that H2S released by standard hydrodesulfurization is processed into elemental S.

Oxidative strong metal-support interactions (OMSI) of supported platinum-group metal catalysts.

Project description:Supported platinum-group metal (PGM) catalysts are widely used in many important industrial processes. Metal-support interaction is of great importance in tailoring their catalytic performance. Here, we report the first example of oxidative strong metal-support interactions (OMSIs) between PGM and hydroxyapatite (HAP) which can be extended to PGM and ZnO. It occurred under high-temperature oxidation conditions accompanied by the encapsulation of PGM by HAP and electron transfer between PGM and HAP. With this OMSI, the aggregation and leaching of PGMs were significantly inhibited, resulting in an excellent catalytic stability and much improved reusability of supported Pt and Pd catalysts, respectively. This is the first time to find that PGMs can manifest OMSI which benefits the stabilization of PGM catalysts under oxidative reaction conditions. This new type of SMSI not only contributed to a deeper understanding of SMSI but also provided a new way to develop new stable PGM catalysts.

Strong metal-support interactions induced by an ultrafast laser.

Project description:Supported metal catalysts play a crucial role in the modern industry. Constructing strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) is an effective means of regulating the interfacial properties of noble metal-based supported catalysts. Here, we propose a new strategy of ultrafast laser-induced SMSI that can be constructed on a CeO2-supported Pt system by confining electric field in localized interface. The nanoconfined field essentially boosts the formation of surface defects and metastable CeOx migration. The SMSI is evidenced by covering Pt nanoparticles with the CeOx thin overlayer and suppression of CO adsorption. The overlayer is permeable to the reactant molecules. Owing to the SMSI, the resulting Pt/CeO2 catalyst exhibits enhanced activity and stability for CO oxidation. This strategy of constructing SMSI can be extended not only to other noble metal systems (such as Au/TiO2, Pd/TiO2, and Pt/TiO2) but also on non-reducible oxide supports (such as Pt/Al2O3, Au/MgO, and Pt/SiO2), providing a universal way to engineer and develop high-performance supported noble metal catalysts.
