Nanosize Control on Porous β-MnO₂ and Their Catalytic Activity in CO Oxidation and N₂O Decomposition.

ABSTRACT: A major challenge in the synthesis of porous metal oxides is the control of pore size and/or wall thickness that may affect the performance of these materials. Herein, nanoporous β-MnO₂ samples were prepared using different hard templates, e.g., ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 and KIT-6, disordered mesoporous silica, and colloidal silica. These samples were characterized by Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and N₂ adsorption-desorption. The pore size distribution of β-MnO₂ was tuned by the different hard templates and their preparation details. Catalytic activities in CO oxidation and N₂O decomposition were tested and the mesoporous β-MnO₂ samples demonstrated superior catalytic activities compared with their bulk counterpart.

The superior catalytic CO oxidation capacity of a Cr-phthalocyanine porous sheet.

Project description:Two-dimensional organometallic sheets containing regularly and separately distributed transition atoms (TMs) have received tremendous attentions due to their flexibility in synthesis, well-defined geometry and the promising applications in hydrogen storage, electronic circuits, quantum Hall effect, and spintronics. Here for the first time we present a study on the superior catalytic CO oxidation capacity of a Cr-phthalocyanine porous sheet proceeding first via Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH) mechanism and then via Eley-Rideal (ER) mechanism. Compared to the noble metal based catalysts or graphene supported catalysts, our studied system has following unique features: without poisoning effect and clustering problem, having comparable reaction energy barrier for low-temperature oxidation, and low cost for large-scale catalytic CO oxidation in industry.

Mesoporous Silica Supported Pd-MnOx Catalysts with Excellent Catalytic Activity in Room-Temperature Formic Acid Decomposition.

Project description:For the application of formic acid as a liquid organic hydrogen carrier, development of efficient catalysts for dehydrogenation of formic acid is a challenging topic, and most studies have so far focused on the composition of metals and supports, the size effect of metal nanoparticles, and surface chemistry of supports. Another influential factor is highly desired to overcome the current limitation of heterogeneous catalysis for formic acid decomposition. Here, we first investigated the effect of support pore structure on formic acid decomposition performance at room temperature by using mesoporous silica materials with different pore structures such as KIE-6, MCM-41, and SBA-15, and achieved the excellent catalytic activity (TOF: 593 h-1) by only controlling the pore structure of mesoporous silica supports. In addition, we demonstrated that 3D interconnected pore structure of mesoporous silica supports is more favorable to the mass transfer than 2D cylindrical mesopore structure, and the better mass transfer provides higher catalytic activity in formic acid decomposition. If the pore morphology of catalytic supports such as 3D wormhole or 2D cylinder is identical, large pore size combined with high pore volume is a crucial factor to achieve high catalytic performance.

Facile morphology control of 3D porous CeO2 for CO oxidation.

Project description:3D porous CeO2 with various morphologies was successfully synthesized via a facile precipitation using glycine as the soft bio-template. During the synthesis, it was demonstrated that the morphology of CeO2 depended on the molar ratio of reactants. Furthermore, the catalytic performance towards CO oxidation of the as-synthesized CeO2 with different morphologies was investigated. CeO2 with a bowknot shape showed excellent catalytic performance, giving complete CO conversion at 370 °C, due to its properties of much higher oxygen vacancies, loosely packed pore structure and larger specific surface area.

Porous Graphene-like Carbon from Fast Catalytic Decomposition of Biomass for Energy Storage Applications.

Project description:A novel carbon material made of porous graphene-like nanosheets was synthesized from biomass resources by a simple catalytic graphitization process using nickel as a catalyst for applications in electrodes for energy storage devices. A recycled fiberboard precursor was impregnated with saturated nickel nitrate followed by high-temperature pyrolysis. The highly exothermic combustion of in situ formed nitrocellulose produces the expansion of the cellulose fibers and the reorganization of the carbon structure into a three-dimensional (3D) porous assembly of thin carbon nanosheets. After acid washing, nickel particles are fully removed, leaving nanosized holes in the wrinkled graphene-like sheets. These nanoholes confer the resulting carbon material with ≈75% capacitance retention, when applied as a supercapacitor electrode in aqueous media at a specific current of 100 A·g-1 compared to the capacitance reached at 20 mA·g-1, and ≈35% capacity retention, when applied as a negative electrode for lithium-ion battery cells at a specific current of 3720 mA·g-1 compared to the specific capacity at 37.2 mA·g-1. These findings suggest a novel way for synthesizing 3D nanocarbon networks from a cellulosic precursor requiring low temperatures and being amenable to large-scale production while using a sustainable starting precursor such as recycled fiberwood.

Co/Cu-MFF derived mesoporous ternary metal oxide microcubes for enhancing the catalytic activity of the CO oxidation reaction.

Project description:Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based derivatives with uniform micro/mesoporous structures have attracted a great deal of interest in various research fields. Herein, we report a simple strategy to design functional mesoporous ternary metal oxides with controlled composition through direct pyrolysis of Co/Cu bimetal-formate frameworks (Co/Cu-MFFs), which were prepared by a facile one-step liquid-phase precipitation method, exhibiting uniform distribution of two different metal species and good structural integrity. The obtained mesoporous ternary metal oxide Cu x Co3-x O4 (x = 0.5, 1) microcubes exhibit much better performance for CO oxidation than pure Co3O4, which can be mainly attributed to their larger specific surface areas, stronger reducibility, and the synergistic effect of two active metal oxide components.

Structural, energetic and kinetic database of catalytic reactions: Benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde oxidation on MnO x clusters.

Project description:Data here reported are connected with the research article "Benzyl Alcohol to Benzaldehyde Oxidation on MnO x Clusters: Unraveling Atomistic Features" Gueci et al. [1]. This work described and discussed structural and energetic results, calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT). In order to get kinetic information, DFT results were refined by an original approach, which will be shortly described in the following article. The crossed analysis of experimental and computational energetic and kinetic data allowed to (i) reconstruct the complicated lattice that connects the primary and secondary mechanisms of the reaction and (ii) identify alternative process pathways capable of by-passing parasitic mechanisms, decreasing selectivity. On the other hand, the data here presented show what is the basic information necessary to obtain the modeling of a complex process of heterogeneous catalysis. Moreover, they can be used either to verify the validity of the discussion outlined in the original article Gueci et al. [1] or as a starting point to computationally explore alternative routes and the related kinetics of the same oxidation processes, in the aim to further optimize the corresponding experimental approach.

Partially Oxidized Sub-10 nm MnO Nanocrystals with High Activity for Water Oxidation Catalysis.

Project description:The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is considered a major bottleneck in the overall water electrolysis process. In this work, highly active manganese oxide nano-catalysts were synthesized via hot injection. Facile surface treatment generated Mn(III) species on monodisperse 10 nm MnO nanocrystals (NCs). Size dependency of MnO NCs on OER activity was also investigated. Surprisingly, the partially oxidized MnO NCs only required 530 mV @ 5 mA cm(-2) under near neutral conditions.

Role of catalytic nitrile decomposition in tricopper complex mediated direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol.

Project description:Synthetic homogeneous system known to date performing methane to methanol conversion using O2 as terminal oxidant is unique and based on copper complex with piperazine-based ligand (Cu3L in Fig. 1) in a medium of acetonitrile. Prior work have shown that in order to achieve catalytic turnover, hydrogen peroxide is needed to regenerate the active site. We show in this paper that reaction solvent based on organic nitrile decompose concurrently with methane activation and that in the absence of either acetonitrile, Cu complex or hydrogen peroxide, the catalytic turnover does not happen. We show in this manuscript that the direct methane oxidation to methanol might have been mediated by catalytic Radziszewski oxidation between acetonitrile and H2O2. Additionally we have discovered that in the absence of methane, peroxide mediated acetonitrile decomposition also makes methanol via a background reaction which was hitherto unknown.

Microalgae-derived Co3O4 nanomaterials for catalytic CO oxidation.

Project description:Efficient carbon monoxide oxidation is important to reduce its impacts on both human health and the environment. Following a sustainable synthesis route toward new catalysts, nanosized Co3O4 was synthesized based on extracts of microalgae: Spirulina platensis, Chlorella vulgaris, and Haematococcus pluvialis. Using the metabolites in the extract and applying different calcination temperatures (450, 650, 800 °C) led to Co3O4 catalysts with distinctly different properties. The obtained Co3O4 nanomaterials exhibited octahedral, nanosheet, and spherical morphologies with structural defects and surface segregation of phosphorous and potassium, originating from the extracts. The presence of P and K in the oxide nanostructures significantly improved their catalytic CO oxidation activity. When normalized by the specific surface area, the microalgae-derived catalysts exceeded a commercial benchmark catalyst. In situ studies revealed differences in oxygen mobility and carbonate formation during the reaction. The obtained insights may facilitate the development of new synthesis strategies for manufacturing highly active Co3O4 nanocatalysts.

Catalytic activity of nanostructured Au: Scale effects versus bimetallic/bifunctional effects in low-temperature CO oxidation on nanoporous Au.

Project description:The catalytic properties of nanostructured Au and their physical origin were investigated by using the low-temperature CO oxidation as a test reaction. In order to distinguish between structural effects (structure-activity correlations) and bimetallic/bifunctional effects, unsupported nanoporous gold (NPG) samples prepared from different Au alloys (AuAg, AuCu) by selective leaching of a less noble metal (Ag, Cu) were employed, whose structure (surface area, ligament size) as well as their residual amount of the second metal were systematically varied by applying different potentials for dealloying. The structural and chemical properties before and after 1000 min reaction were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The catalytic behavior was evaluated by kinetic measurements in a conventional microreactor and by dynamic measurements in a temporal analysis of products (TAP) reactor. The data reveal a clear influence of the surface contents of residual Ag and Cu species on both O2 activation and catalytic activity, while correlations between activity and structural parameters such as surface area or ligament/crystallite size are less evident. Consequences for the mechanistic understanding and the role of the nanostructure in these NPG catalysts are discussed.
