Project description:Metal-organic frameworks featuring open metal coordination sites have been widely studied for the separation of gas mixtures. For CO2/N2 separations, these materials have shown considerable promise. Herein, we report the characterization of a subset of the well-known PCN-250 class of frameworks upon CO2 adsorption via powder neutron diffraction methods. Noteably, in contrast to previously reported data, they display only moderate CO2 adsorption enthalpies, based on metal cation-CO2 interactions. Further, we show charge balance in these materials is likely achieved via ligand vacancies rather than the presence of μ3-OH groups in the trimetallic cluster that comprises them.

Project description:[Ar'SnCo]2 (1, Ar' = C6H3-2,6{C6H3-2,6- iPr2}2), a rare metal-metal bonded cobalt-tin cluster with low-coordinate tin atoms, was prepared by the reaction of [K(thf)0.2][Co(1,5-cod)2] (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with [Ar'Sn(μ-Cl)]2. This reaction illustrates a promising synthetic strategy to access uncommon metal clusters. The structure of 1 features a rhomboidal Co2Sn2 core with strong metal-metal bonds between tin and cobalt and a weaker tin-tin interaction. Reaction of 1 with white phosphorus afforded [Ar'2Sn2Co2P4] (2), the first molecular cluster compound containing phosphorus, cobalt and tin.

Project description:Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are known to be practical and cost-effective devices for storing electric energy. LIBs have a low energy density, which calls for the development of new anode materials. The Prussian blue analog (PBA) is identified as being a candidate electrode material due to its facile synthesis, open framework structures, high specific surface areas, tunable composition, designable topologies and rich redox couples. However, its poor electrical conductivity and mechanical properties are the main factors limiting its use. The present study loaded PBA (Co3[Fe(CN)6]·10H2O) on graphene oxide (Co-Fe-PBA@rGO) and then conducted calcination at 300 °C under the protection of nitrogen, which reduced the crystal water and provided more ion diffusion pathways. As a result, Co-Fe-PBA@rGO showed excellent performance when utilized as an anode in LIBs, and its specific capacities were 546.3 and 333.2 mAh g-1 at 0.1 and 1.0 A g-1, respectively. In addition, the electrode also showed excellent performance in the long-term cycle, and its capacity reached up to 909.7 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 following 100 cycles.

Project description:The sources and nature of organic carbon on Mars have been a subject of intense research. Steele et al. (2012) showed that 10 martian meteorites contain macromolecular carbon phases contained within pyroxene- and olivine-hosted melt inclusions. Here, we show that martian meteorites Tissint, Nakhla, and NWA 1950 have an inventory of organic carbon species associated with fluid-mineral reactions that are remarkably consistent with those detected by the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission. We advance the hypothesis that interactions among spinel-group minerals, sulfides, and a brine enable the electrochemical reduction of aqueous CO2 to organic molecules. Although documented here in martian samples, a similar process likely occurs wherever igneous rocks containing spinel-group minerals and/or sulfides encounter brines.

Project description:Synthesis of liquid fuels (C5+ hydrocarbons) via CO2 hydrogenation is very promising. Hydrogenation of CO2 to liquid hydrocarbons usually proceeds through tandem catalysis of reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction to produce CO, and subsequent CO hydrogenation to hydrocarbons via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). CO2 is a thermodynamically stable and chemically inert molecule, and RWGS reaction is endothermic and needs a higher temperature, whereas FTS reaction is exothermic and is thermodynamically favored at a lower temperature. Therefore, the reported technologies have some obvious drawbacks, such as high temperature, low selectivity, and use of complex catalysts. Herein we discovered that a simple Co6/MnOx nanocatalyst could efficiently catalyze CO2 hydrogenation. The reaction proceeded at 200 °C, which is much lower than those reported so far. The selectivity of liquid hydrocarbon (C5 to C26, mostly n-paraffin) in total product could reach 53.2 C-mol%, which is among the highest reported to date. Interestingly, CO was hardly detectable during the reaction. The in situ Fourier transform infrared characterization and 13CO labeling test confirmed that the reaction was not via CO, accounting for the eminent catalytic results. This report represents significant progress in CO2 chemistry and CO2 transformation.

Project description:The synthesis of oxygenate products, including cyclic ketones and phenol, from carbon dioxide and water in the absence of gas-phase hydrogen has been demonstrated. The reaction takes place in subcritical conditions at 300?°C and pressure at room temperature of 25?barg. This is the first observation of the production of cyclic ketones by this route and represents a step towards the synthesis of valuable intermediates and products, including methanol, without relying on fossil sources or hydrogen, which carries a high carbon footprint in its production by conventional methods. Inspiration for these studies was taken directly from natural processes occurring in hydrothermal environments around ocean vents. Bulk iron and iron oxides were investigated to provide a benchmark for further studies, whereas reactions over alumina and zeolite-based catalysts were employed to demonstrate, for the first time, the ability to use catalyst properties such as acidity and pore size to direct the reaction towards specific products. Bulk iron and iron oxides produced methanol as the major product in concentrations of approximately 2-3?mmol?L-1 . By limiting the hydrogen availability through increasing the initial CO2 /H2 O ratio the reaction could be directed to yield phenol. Alumina and zeolites were both observed to enhance the production of longer-chained species (up to C8 ), likely owing to the role of acid sites in catalysing rapid oligomerisation reactions. Notably, zeolite-based catalysts promoted the formation of cyclic ketones. These proof-of-concept studies show the potential of this process to contribute to sustainable development through either targeting methanol production as part of a "methanol economy" or longer-chained species including phenol and cyclic ketones.

Project description:Methods to incorporate atmospheric CO2 into organic molecules are on demand. Here we present two Pd-catalyzed multicomponent reactions that provide functionalized oxazolidinones from propargylamines, aryl halides and CO2 as starting materials. These transformations, devoid of high CO2 pressures, represent a streamlined stereocontrolled synthesis of previously inaccessible versions of these useful heterocycles in an atom-economic manner, as up to four new single bonds are formed in a single synthetic operation.

Project description:Enhancing the intrinsic activity and space time yield of Cu based heterogeneous methanol synthesis catalysts through CO2 hydrogenation is one of the major topics in CO2 conversion into value-added liquid fuels and chemicals. Here we report inverse ZrO2/Cu catalysts with a tunable Zr/Cu ratio have been prepared via an oxalate co-precipitation method, showing excellent performance for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Under optimal condition, the catalyst composed by 10% of ZrO2 supported over 90% of Cu exhibits the highest mass-specific methanol formation rate of 524 gMeOHkgcat-1h-1 at 220 °C, 3.3 times higher than the activity of traditional Cu/ZrO2 catalysts (159 gMeOHkgcat-1h-1). In situ XRD-PDF, XAFS and AP-XPS structural studies reveal that the inverse ZrO2/Cu catalysts are composed of islands of partially reduced 1-2 nm amorphous ZrO2 supported over metallic Cu particles. The ZrO2 islands are highly active for the CO2 activation. Meanwhile, an intermediate of formate adsorbed on the Cu at 1350 cm-1 is discovered by the in situ DRIFTS. This formate intermediate exhibits fast hydrogenation conversion to methoxy. The activation of CO2 and hydrogenation of all the surface oxygenate intermediates are significantly accelerated over the inverse ZrO2/Cu configuration, accounting for the excellent methanol formation activity observed.

Project description:Aqueous biphasic systems were investigated for the production of formate-amine adducts by metal-catalyzed CO2 hydrogenation, including typical scrubbing solutions as feedstocks. Different hydrophobic organic solvents and ionic liquids could be employed as the stationary phase for cis-[Ru(dppm)2 Cl2 ] (dppm=bis-diphenylphosphinomethane) as prototypical catalyst without any modification or tagging of the complex. The amines were found to partition between the two phases depending on their structure, whereas the formate-amine adducts were nearly quantitatively extracted into the aqueous phase, providing a favorable phase behavior for the envisaged integrated reaction/separation sequence. The solvent pair of methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) and water led to the most practical and productive system and repeated use of the catalyst phase was demonstrated. The highest single batch activity with a TOFav of approximately 35 000 h-1 and an initial TOF of approximately 180 000 h-1 was achieved in the presence of NEt3 . Owing to higher stability, the highest productivities were obtained with methyl diethanolamine (Aminosol CST 115) and monoethanolamine (MEA), which are used in commercial scale CO2 -scrubbing processes. Saturated aqueous solutions (CO2 overpressure 5-10 bar) of MEA could be converted into the corresponding formate adducts with average turnover frequencies up to 14×103 h-1 with an overall yield of 70 % based on the amine, corresponding to a total turnover number of 150 000 over eleven recycling experiments. This opens the possibility for integrated approaches to carbon capture and utilization.

Project description:A novel solution combustion synthesis of nanoscale spinel-structured Co3O4 powder was proposed in this work. The obtained material was composed of loosely arranged nanoparticles whose average diameter was about 36 nm. The as-prepared cobalt oxide powder was also tested as the anode material for Li-ion batteries and revealed specific capacities of 1060 and 533 mAh·g-1 after 100 cycles at charge-discharge current densities of 100 and 500 mA·g-1, respectively. Moreover, electrochemical measurements indicate that even though the synthesized nanomaterial possesses a low active surface area, it exhibits a relatively high specific capacity measured at 100 mA·g-1 after 100 cycles and a quite good rate capability at current densities between 50 and 5000 mA·g-1.
