Enhanced hydrogen generation by reverse spillover effects over bicomponent catalysts.

ABSTRACT: The contribution of the reverse spillover effect to hydrogen generation reactions is still controversial. Herein, the promotion functions for reverse spillover in the ammonia borane hydrolysis reaction are proven by constructing a spatially separated NiO/Al₂O₃/Pt bicomponent catalyst via atomic layer deposition and performing in situ quick X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) characterization. For the NiO/Al₂O₃/Pt catalyst, NiO and Pt nanoparticles are attached to the outer and inner surfaces of Al₂O₃ nanotubes, respectively. In situ XANES results reveal that for ammonia borane hydrolysis, the H species generated at NiO sites spill across the support to the Pt sites reversely. The reverse spillover effects account for enhanced H₂ generation rates for NiO/Al₂O₃/Pt. For the CoO_x/Al₂O₃/Pt and NiO/TiO₂/Pt catalysts, reverse spillover effects are also confirmed. We believe that an in-depth understanding of the reverse effects will be helpful to clarify the catalytic mechanisms and provide a guide for designing highly efficient catalysts for hydrogen generation reactions.

In situ tuning of electronic structure of catalysts using controllable hydrogen spillover for enhanced selectivity.

Project description:In situ tuning of the electronic structure of active sites is a long-standing challenge. Herein, we propose a strategy by controlling the hydrogen spillover distance to in situ tune the electronic structure. The strategy is demonstrated to be feasible with the assistance of CoOx/Al2O3/Pt catalysts prepared by atomic layer deposition in which CoOx and Pt nanoparticles are separated by hollow Al2O3 nanotubes. The strength of hydrogen spillover from Pt to CoOx can be precisely tailored by varying the Al2O3 thickness. Using CoOx/Al2O3 catalyzed styrene epoxidation as an example, the CoOx/Al2O3/Pt with 7 nm Al2O3 layer exhibits greatly enhanced selectivity (from 74.3% to 94.8%) when H2 is added. The enhanced selectivity is attributed to the introduction of controllable hydrogen spillover, resulting in the reduction of CoOx during the reaction. Our method is also effective for the epoxidation of styrene derivatives. We anticipate this method is a general strategy for other reactions.

Pd-doped HKUST-1 MOFs for enhanced hydrogen storage: effect of hydrogen spillover.

Project description:Extensive research has been devoted to developing metal nanoparticle (NP) doped porous materials with large hydrogen storage capacity and high hydrogen release pressure at ambient temperature. The ultra-sound assisted double-solvent approach (DSA) was applied for sample synthesis. In this study, tiny Pd NPs are confined into the pore space of HKUST-1, affording Pd@HKUST-1-DS with minimizing the aggregation of Pd NPs and subsequently the formation of Pd NPs on the external surface of HKUST-1. The experimental data reveal that the obtained Pd NP doped Pd@HKUST-1-DS possessed an outstanding hydrogen storage capacity of 3.68 wt% (and 1.63 wt%) at 77 K and 0.2 MPa H2 (and 298 K and 18 MPa H2), in comparison with pristine HKUST-1 and impregnated Pd/HKUST-1-IM. It is found that the storage capacity variation is not only ascribed to the different textural properties of materials but is also illustrated by the hydrogen spillover induced by different electron transport from Pd to the pores of MOFs (Pd@HKUST-1-DS > Pd/HKUST-1-IM), based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature desorption spectra. Pd@HKUST-1-DS, featuring high specific surface area, uniform Pd NP dispersion and strong interaction of Pd with hydrogen in the confined pore spaces of the support, displays the high hydrogen storage capacity. This work highlights the influence of spillover caused by Pd electron transport on the hydrogen storage capacity of metal NPs/MOFs, which is governed by both physical and chemical adsorption.

Methane Decomposition to Hydrogen Over Zirconia-Supported Fe Catalysts-Effects of the Modified Support.

Project description:Methane decomposition is a promising route to synthesize COx -free hydrogen and carbon nanomaterials (CNMs ). In this work, the impregnation method was employed for the preparation of the catalysts. Systematic investigations on the activity and stability of Fe-based catalysts were carried out in a packed-bed micro-activity reactor at 800 °C with a feed gas flow rate of 18 mL/min. The effect of doping Y2 O3 , MgO, SiO2 and TiO2 over ZrO2 on the catalytic performance was also studied. BET revealed that the specific surface areas and pore volumes are increased after SiO2 , TiO2 , and Y2 O3 are added to ZrO2 while MgO had a negative impact and hence a little decrease in specific surface area is observed. The catalytic activity results showed that the Fe-based catalyst supported over TiO2 -doped ZrO2 that is, Fe-TiZr, demonstrated the highest activity and stability, with a maximum methane conversion of 81.3 % during 180 min time-on-stream. At 800 °C, a maximum initial methane conversion of 73 %, 38 %, 64 %, and 69 % and a final carbon yield of 121 wt. %, 55 wt. %, 354 wt. %, and 174 wt. % was achieved using Fe-MgZr, Fe-SiZr, Fe-TiZr and Fe-YZr catalysts, respectively. Moreover, bulk deposition of uniform carbon nanotubes with a high degree of graphitization and different diameters was observed over the catalysts.

Origin of synergistic effects in bicomponent cobalt oxide-platinum catalysts for selective hydrogenation reaction.

Project description:The synergistic nature of bicomponent catalysts remains a challenging issue, due to the difficulty in constructing well-defined catalytic systems. Here we study the origin of synergistic effects in CoOx-Pt catalysts for selective hydrogenation by designing a series of closely contacted CoOxPt/TiO2 and spatially separated CoOx/TiO2/Pt catalysts by atomic layer deposition (ALD). For CoOx/TiO2/Pt, CoOx and platinum are separated by the walls of titania nanotubes, and the CoOx-Pt intimacy can be precisely tuned. Like CoOxPt/TiO2, the CoOx/TiO2/Pt shows higher selectivity to cinnamyl alcohol than monometallic TiO2/Pt, indicating that the CoOx-Pt nanoscale intimacy almost has no influence on the selectivity. The enhanced selectivity is ascribed to the increased oxygen vacancy resulting from the promoted hydrogen spillover. Moreover, platinum-oxygen vacancy interfacial sites are identified as the active sites by selectively covering CoOx or platinum by ALD. Our study provides a guide for the understanding of synergistic nature in bicomponent and bifunctional catalysts.

Ammonia decomposition over Ni catalysts supported on perovskite-type oxides for the on-site generation of hydrogen.

Project description:Ammonia decomposition has attracted increasing attention as a promising process for the on-site generation of hydrogen. In this study, Ni catalysts supported on perovskite-type oxides (ABO3) were prepared and the activity for ammonia decomposition was examined. The Ni/ANbO3 (A = Na and K) and Ni/AEMnO3 (AE = Ca, Sr, and Ba) catalysts were less effective for this reaction. Meanwhile, the Ni/REAlO3 (RE = La, Sm, and Gd) catalysts exhibited relatively high activity. For Ni/AETiO3 and Ni/AEZrO3, the performance strongly depended on the A-site element of the perovskite-type oxides, and the Sr and Ba elements were more effective than the Ca one in the respective series. The catalytic activity for Ni/AEZrO3 was higher than Ni/AETiO3 in the case of the same alkaline earth element, and Ni/BaZrO3 was the most active among the samples investigated in this work. For these series, the order in the performance corresponded well with that in the basic property. The nitrogen desorption profiles revealed that the evolution of nitrogen atoms, which is one of the kinetically slow steps, effectively proceeded for Ni/SrZrO3 and Ni/BaZrO3 compared with the conventional Ni catalysts. This promotion effect would be ascribed to the strong basic properties of the SrZrO3 and BaZrO3 supports, resulting in the high activity of Ni/SrZrO3 and Ni/BaZrO3 for ammonia decomposition.

Dealloyed Ruthenium Film Catalysts for Hydrogen Generation from Chemical Hydrides.

Project description:Thin-film ruthenium (Ru) and copper (Cu) binary alloys have been prepared on a Teflon™ backing layer by cosputtering of the precious and nonprecious metals, respectively. Alloys were then selectively dealloyed by sulfuric acid as an etchant, and their hydrogen generation catalysts performances were evaluated. Sputtering time and power of Cu atoms have been varied in order to tailor the hydrogen generation performances. Similarly, dealloying time and the sulfuric acid concentration have also been altered to tune the morphologies of the resulted films. A maximum hydrogen generation rate of 35 mL min-1 was achieved when Cu sputtering power and time were 200 W and 60 min and while acid concentration and dealloying time were 18 M and 90 min, respectively. It has also been demonstrated that the Ru content in the alloy after dealloying gradually increased with the increasing the sputtering power of Cu. After 90 min dealloying, the Ru to Cu ratio increased to about 190 times that of bare alloy. This is the key issue for observing higher catalytic activity. Interestingly, we have also presented template-free nanoforest-like structure formation within the context of one-step alloying and dealloying used in this study. Last but not least, the long-time hydrogen generation performances of the catalysts system have also been evaluated along 3600 min. During the first 600 min, the catalytic activity was quite stable, while about 24% of the catalytic activity decayed after 3000 min, which still makes these systems available for the development of robust catalyst systems in the area of hydrogen generation.

Local generation of hydrogen for enhanced photothermal therapy.

Project description:By delivering the concept of clean hydrogen energy and green catalysis to the biomedical field, engineering of hydrogen-generating nanomaterials for treatment of major diseases holds great promise. Leveraging virtue of versatile abilities of Pd hydride nanomaterials in high/stable hydrogen storage, self-catalytic hydrogenation, near-infrared (NIR) light absorption and photothermal conversion, here we utilize the cubic PdH0.2 nanocrystals for tumour-targeted and photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided hydrogenothermal therapy of cancer. The synthesized PdH0.2 nanocrystals have exhibited high intratumoural accumulation capability, clear NIR-controlled hydrogen release behaviours, NIR-enhanced self-catalysis bio-reductivity, high NIR-photothermal effect and PAI performance. With these unique properties of PdH0.2 nanocrystals, synergetic hydrogenothermal therapy with limited systematic toxicity has been achieved by tumour-targeted delivery and PAI-guided NIR-controlled release of bio-reductive hydrogen as well as generation of heat. This hydrogenothermal approach has presented a cancer-selective strategy for synergistic cancer treatment.

Variable expressions of Staphylococcus aureus bicomponent leucotoxins semiquantified by competitive reverse transcription-PCR.

Project description:A competitive reverse transcription-PCR method was developed for the semiquantitation of the expression of genes encoding bicomponent leucotoxins of Staphylococcus aureus, e.g., Panton-Valentine leucocidin (lukPV), gamma-hemolysin (hlgA and hlgCB), and LukE-LukD (lukED). The optimization procedure included RNA preparation; reverse transcription; the use of various amounts of enzymes, antisense primer, and RNA; and the final amplification chain reaction. Reproducible results were obtained, with sensitivity for detection of cDNA within the range of 1 mRNA/10(4) CFU to 10(2) mRNA/CFU, depending on the gene. Both specific mRNAs were more significantly expressed at the late-exponential phase of growth. Expression was about 100-fold higher in yeast extract-Casamino Acids-pyruvate medium than in heart infusion medium. Expression of the widely distributed gamma-hemolysin locus in the NTCC 8178 strain was around 10-fold diminished compared with that in the ATCC 49775 strain. Because of the lower level of hlgA expression, the corresponding protein, which is generally not abundant in culture supernatant, should be investigated for its contribution to the leucotoxin-associated virulence. The agr, sar, and agr sar mutant strains revealed a great dependence with regard to leucotoxin expression on the global regulatory system in S. aureus, except that expression of hlgA was not affected in the agr mutant.

Hydrogen Production from Methanol Steam Reforming over Fe-Modified Cu/CeO<sub>2</sub> Catalysts.

Project description:Fe-modified Cu catalysts with CeO2 support, prepared by the impregnation method, were subjected to physicochemical analysis and catalytic tests in the steam reforming of methanol (SRM). Physicochemical studies of the catalysts were carried out using the XRF, TEM, STEM-EDS, XRD, TPR and nitrogen adsorption/desorption methods. XRD, TEM studies and catalytic tests of the catalysts were carried out at two reduction temperatures, 260 °C and 400 °C, to determine the relationship between the form and oxidation state of the active phase of the catalysts and the catalytic properties of these systems in the SRM. Additionally, the catalysts after the reaction were analysed for the changes in the structure and morphology using TEM methods. The presented results show that the composition of the catalysts, morphology, structure, form and oxidation state of the Cu and Fe active metals in the catalysts and the reaction temperature significantly impact their activity, selectivity and stability in the SRM process. The gradual deactivation of the studied catalysts under SRM conditions could result from the forming of carbon deposits and/or the gradual oxidation of the copper and iron phases under the reaction conditions.

A fundamental viewpoint on the hydrogen spillover phenomenon of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Project description:Hydrogen spillover phenomenon of metal-supported electrocatalysts can significantly impact their activity in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, design of active electrocatalysts faces grand challenges due to the insufficient understandings on how to overcome this thermodynamically and kinetically adverse process. Here we theoretically profile that the interfacial charge accumulation induces by the large work function difference between metal and support (∆Φ) and sequentially strong interfacial proton adsorption construct a high energy barrier for hydrogen transfer. Theoretical simulations and control experiments rationalize that small ∆Φ induces interfacial charge dilution and relocation, thereby weakening interfacial proton adsorption and enabling efficient hydrogen spillover for HER. Experimentally, a series of Pt alloys-CoP catalysts with tailorable ∆Φ show a strong ∆Φ-dependent HER activity, in which PtIr/CoP with the smallest ∆Φ = 0.02 eV delivers the best HER performance. These findings have conclusively identified ∆Φ as the criterion in guiding the design of hydrogen spillover-based binary HER electrocatalysts.
