Ru-Catalyzed Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction with Near-Unity Selectivity and Superior Stability.

ABSTRACT: Cascade catalysis of reverse water gas shift (RWGS) and well-established CO hydrogenation holds promise for the conversion of greenhouse gas CO2 and renewable H2 into liquid hydrocarbons and methanol under mild conditions. However, it remains a big challenge to develop low-temperature RWGS catalysts with high activity, selectivity, and stability. Here, we report the design of an efficient RWGS catalyst by encapsulating ruthenium clusters with the size of 1 nm inside hollow silica shells. The spatially confined structure prevents the sintering of Ru clusters while the permeable silica layer allows the diffusion of gaseous reactants and products. This catalyst with reduced particle sizes not only inherits the excellent activity of Ru in CO2 hydrogenation reactions but also exhibits nearly 100% CO selectivity and superior stability at 200-500 °C. The ability to selectively produce CO from CO2 at relatively low temperatures paves the way for the production of value-added fuels from CO2 and renewable H2.

Water-gas shift reaction catalyzed by redox enzymes on conducting graphite platelets.

Project description:The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction (CO + H(2)O <==> CO(2) + H(2)) is of major industrial significance in the production of H(2) from hydrocarbon sources. High temperatures are required, typically in excess of 200 degrees C, using d-metal catalysts on oxide supports. In our study the WGS process is separated into two half-cell electrochemical reactions (H(+) reduction and CO oxidation), catalyzed by enzymes attached to a conducting particle. The H(+) reduction reaction is catalyzed by a hydrogenase, Hyd-2, from Escherichia coli, and CO oxidation is catalyzed by a carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH I) from Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans. This results in a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst with a turnover frequency, at 30 degrees C, of at least 2.5 s(-1) per minimum functional unit (a CODH/Hyd-2 pair) which is comparable to conventional high-temperature catalysts.

Single-Atom Platinum Catalyst for Efficient CO<sub>2</sub> Conversion via Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction.

Project description:The need to tackle CO2 emissions arising from the continuously rising combustion of fossil fuels has sparked considerable interest in investigating the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction. This reaction holds great promise as an alternative technique for the conversion and utilization of CO2. In this study, a scalable method was employed to synthesize a single-atom Pt catalyst, uniformly dispersed on SiC, where up to 6.4 wt% Pt1 was loaded onto a support based on ligand modification and UV photoreduction. This Pt1/SiC catalyst exhibited a high selectivity (100%) towards the RWGS reaction; 54% CO2 conversion was observed at 900 °C with a H2/CO2 feed-in ratio of 1:1, significantly higher than the conventional Pt nanoparticle counterparts. Moreover, Pt1/SiC displayed a robust stability during the long-term test. The activation energy with as-synthesized Pt1/SiC was further calculated to be 61.6 ± 6.4 kJ/mol, which is much lower than the 91.6 ± 15.9 kJ/mol of the Pt nanoparticle counterpart and other Pt-based catalysts reported so far. This work offers new insights into the utilization of diverse single-atom catalysts for the RWGS reaction and other crucial catalytic processes, paving the way for the further exploration and application of SACs in various industrial endeavors.

High-performance light-driven heterogeneous CO2 catalysis with near-unity selectivity on metal phosphides.

Project description:Akin to single-site homogeneous catalysis, a long sought-after goal is to achieve reaction site precision in heterogeneous catalysis for chemical control over patterns of activity, selectivity and stability. Herein, we report on metal phosphides as a class of material capable of realizing these attributes and unlock their potential in solar-driven CO2 hydrogenation. Selected as an archetype, Ni12P5 affords a structure based upon highly dispersed nickel nanoclusters integrated into a phosphorus lattice that harvest light intensely across the entire solar spectral range. Motivated by its panchromatic absorption and unique linearly bonded nickel-carbonyl-dominated reaction route, Ni12P5 is found to be a photothermal catalyst for the reverse water gas shift reaction, offering a CO production rate of 960?±?12?mmol?gcat-1?h-1, near 100% selectivity and long-term stability. Successful extension of this idea to Co2P analogs implies that metal phosphide materials are poised as a universal platform for high-rate and highly selective photothermal CO2 catalysis.

Heterostructure Engineering of a Reverse Water Gas Shift Photocatalyst.

Project description:To achieve substantial reductions in CO2 emissions, catalysts for the photoreduction of CO2 into value-added chemicals and fuels will most likely be at the heart of key renewable-energy technologies. Despite tremendous efforts, developing highly active and selective CO2 reduction photocatalysts remains a great challenge. Herein, a metal oxide heterostructure engineering strategy that enables the gas-phase, photocatalytic, heterogeneous hydrogenation of CO2 to CO with high performance metrics (i.e., the conversion rate of CO2 to CO reached as high as 1400 µmol g cat-1 h-1) is reported. The catalyst is comprised of indium oxide nanocrystals, In2O3- x (OH) y , nucleated and grown on the surface of niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) nanorods. The heterostructure between In2O3- x (OH) y nanocrystals and the Nb2O5 nanorod support increases the concentration of oxygen vacancies and prolongs excited state (electron and hole) lifetimes. Together, these effects result in a dramatically improved photocatalytic performance compared to the isolated In2O3- x (OH) y material. The defect optimized heterostructure exhibits a 44-fold higher conversion rate than pristine In2O3- x (OH) y . It also exhibits selective conversion of CO2 to CO as well as long-term operational stability.

Superior Acetone Selectivity in Gas Mixtures by Catalyst?Filtered Chemoresistive Sensors

Project description:Abstract Acetone is a toxic air pollutant and a key breath marker for non?invasively monitoring fat metabolism. Its routine detection in realistic gas mixtures (i.e., human breath and indoor air), however, is challenging, as low?cost acetone sensors suffer from insufficient selectivity. Here, a compact detector for acetone sensing is introduced, having unprecedented selectivity (>250) over the most challenging interferants (e.g., alcohols, aldehydes, aromatics, isoprene, ammonia, H2, and CO). That way, acetone is quantified with fast response (<1 min) down to, at least, 50 parts per billion (ppb) in gas mixtures with such interferants having up to two orders of magnitude higher concentration than acetone at realistic relative humidities (RH = 30–90%). The detector consists of a catalytic packed bed (30 mg) of flame?made Al2O3 nanoparticles (120 m2 g?1) decorated with Pt nanoclusters (average size 9 nm) and a highly sensitive chemo?resistive sensor made by flame aerosol deposition and in situ annealing of nanostructured Si?doped ??WO3 (Si/WO3). Most importantly, the catalytic packed bed converts interferants continuously enabling highly selective acetone sensing even in the exhaled breath of a volunteer. The detector exhibits stable performance over, at least, 145 days at 90% RH, as validated by mass spectrometry. A solid?state detector is presented that quantifies acetone down to 50 parts per billion (ppb) with unmet selectivity in gas mixtures having two orders of magnitude higher interferant concentrations and in exhaled human breath. It is low?cost, combining a nanostructured Pt/Al2O3 catalyst with a Si/WO3 chemoresistive sensor in a compact design, and is promising for hand?held breath analyzers or wearable air quality monitors.

Catalytic Nucleophilic Allylation Driven by the Water-Gas Shift Reaction.

Project description:The ruthenium-catalyzed allylation of aldehydes with allylic pro-nucleophiles has been demonstrated to be an efficient means to form carbon-carbon bonds under mild conditions. The evolution of this reaction from the initial serendipitous discovery to its general synthetic scope is detailed, highlighting the roles of water, CO, and amine in the generation of a more complete catalytic cycle. The use of unsymmetrical allylic pro-nucleophiles was shown to give preferential product formation through the modulation of reaction conditions. Both (E)-cinnamyl acetate and vinyl oxirane were efficiently used to form the anti-branched products (up to >20:1 anti/syn) and E-linear products (up to >20:1 E/Z) in high selectivity with aromatic, ?,?-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldehydes, respectively. Attempts to render the reaction enantioselective are highlighted and include enantioenrichment of up to 75:25 for benzaldehyde.

Room-temperature electrochemical water-gas shift reaction for high purity hydrogen production.

Project description:Traditional water-gas shift reaction provides one primary route for industrial production of clean-energy hydrogen. However, this process operates at high temperatures and pressures, and requires additional separation of H2 from products containing CO2, CH4 and residual CO. Herein, we report a room-temperature electrochemical water-gas shift process for direct production of high purity hydrogen (over 99.99%) with a faradaic efficiency of approximately 100%. Through rational design of anode structure to facilitate CO diffusion and PtCu catalyst to optimize CO adsorption, the anodic onset potential is lowered to almost 0 volts versus the reversible hydrogen electrode at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The optimized PtCu catalyst achieves a current density of 70.0?mA?cm-2 at 0.6 volts which is over 12 times that of commercial Pt/C (40 wt.%) catalyst, and remains stable for even more than 475?h. This study opens a new and promising route of producing high purity hydrogen.

Extendable blocking probe in reverse transcription for analysis of RNA variants with superior selectivity.

Project description:Here we provide the first strategy to use a competitive Extendable Blocking Probe (ExBP) for allele-specific priming with superior selectivity at the stage of reverse transcription. In order to analyze highly similar RNA variants, a reverse-transcriptase primer whose sequence matches a specific variant selectively primes only that variant, whereas mismatch priming to the alternative variant is suppressed by virtue of hybridization and subsequent extension of the perfectly matched ExBP on that alternative variant template to form a cDNA-RNA hybrid. This hybrid will render the alternative RNA template unavailable for mismatch priming initiated by the specific primer in a hot-start protocol of reverse transcription when the temperature decreases to a level where such mismatch priming could occur. The ExBP-based reverse transcription assay detected BRAF and KRAS mutations in at least 1000-fold excess of wild-type RNA and detection was linear over a 4-log dynamic range. This novel strategy not only reveals the presence or absence of rare mutations with an exceptionally high selectivity, but also provides a convenient tool for accurate determination of RNA variants in different settings, such as quantification of allele-specific expression.

Semiconductor nanowire metamaterial for broadband near-unity absorption.

Project description:The realization of a semiconductor near-unity absorber in the infrared will provide new capabilities to transform applications in sensing, health, imaging, and quantum information science, especially where portability is required. Typically, commercially available portable single-photon detectors in the infrared are made from bulk semiconductors and have efficiencies well below unity. Here, we design a novel semiconductor nanowire metamaterial, and show that by carefully arranging an InGaAs nanowire array and by controlling their shape, we demonstrate near-unity absorption efficiency at room temperature. We experimentally show an average measured efficiency of 93% (simulated average efficiency of 97%) over an unprecedented wavelength range from 900 to 1500 nm. We further show that the near-unity absorption results from the collective response of the nanowire metamaterial, originating from both coupling into leaky resonant waveguide and transverse modes. These coupling mechanisms cause light to be absorbed directly from the top and indirectly as light scatters from one nanowire to neighbouring ones. This work leads to the possible development of a new generation of quantum detectors with unprecedented broadband near-unity absorption in the infrared, while operating near room temperature for a wider range of applications.

Ru-NHC Catalyzed Domino Reaction of Carbonyl Compounds and Alcohols: A Short Synthesis of Donaxaridine.

Project description:Direct α-alkylation of amides and the synthesis of C3-alkylated 3-hydroxyindolin-2-one/2-substituted-2-hydroxy-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one derivatives from 2-oxindole/1-teralone were reported using primary alcohols in the presence of Ru-NHC catalyst in a one pot condition under the borrowing hydrogen method. In the case of inert conditions, 2-oxindole/1-teralone exclusively forms the C3-alkylated product. Whereas, allowing this reaction mixture to occur under an air atmosphere predominantly forms C3-alkylated 3-hydroxyindolin-2-one via domino C-H alkylation and aerobic C-H hydroxylation. This Ru-NHC catalyst is easily accessible, air stable, and phosphine free. Using this method, synthesis of 2-oxindole based natural products such as Donaxaridine was accomplished.
