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-MnO<sub>x</sub> 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.

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.

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.

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.

Twin boundary migration in an individual platinum nanocrystal during catalytic CO oxidation.

Project description:At the nanoscale, elastic strain and crystal defects largely influence the properties and functionalities of materials. The ability to predict the structural evolution of catalytic nanocrystals during the reaction is of primary importance for catalyst design. However, to date, imaging and characterising the structure of defects inside a nanocrystal in three-dimensions and in situ during reaction has remained a challenge. We report here an unusual twin boundary migration process in a single platinum nanoparticle during CO oxidation using Bragg coherent diffraction imaging as the characterisation tool. Density functional theory calculations show that twin migration can be correlated with the relative change in the interfacial energies of the free surfaces exposed to CO. The x-ray technique also reveals particle reshaping during the reaction. In situ and non-invasive structural characterisation of defects during reaction opens new avenues for understanding defect behaviour in confined crystals and paves the way for strain and defect engineering.

Dynamics of Pd Dopant Atoms inside Au Nanoclusters during Catalytic CO Oxidation.

Project description:Doping gold nanoclusters with palladium has been reported to increase their catalytic activity and stability. PdAu24 nanoclusters, with the Pd dopant atom located at the center of the Au cluster core, were supported on titania and applied in catalytic CO oxidation, showing significantly higher activity than supported monometallic Au25 nanoclusters. After pretreatment, operando DRIFTS spectroscopy detected CO adsorbed on Pd during CO oxidation, indicating migration of the Pd dopant atom from the Au cluster core to the cluster surface. Increasing the number of Pd dopant atoms in the Au structure led to incorporation of Pd mostly in the S-(M-S) n protecting staples, as evidenced by in situ XAFS. A combination of oxidative and reductive thermal pretreatment resulted in the formation of isolated Pd surface sites within the Au surface. The combined analysis of in situ XAFS, operando DRIFTS, and ex situ XPS thus revealed the structural evolution of bimetallic PdAu nanoclusters, yielding a Pd single-site catalyst of 2.7 nm average particle size with improved CO oxidation activity.

Surfactant-Mediated Resistance to Surface Oxidation in MnO Nanostructures.

Project description:The intrinsic physical properties of nanostructures of metals and their oxides are altered when they are prone to surface oxidation in ambient atmosphere. To overcome this limitation, novel synthesis methodologies are required. In this study, solid octahedral shapes of MnO limit the inward oxygen diffusion compared to that of the MnO-nanoparticle-assembled octahedra. In addition to morphology control, which restricts the thickness of the Mn3O4 surface layer, the binding chemistry of the surfactants plays an essential role. For example, the Mn3O4 surface layer is 0.4 nm thinner with trioctylphosphine oxide than with trioctylamine as the surfactant. The nanostructures were prepared by varying the surfactants, surfactant-to-precursor molar ratio, accelerating agent, and reaction heating rate. The surface oxidation of MnO nano-octahedra was probed by Rietveld analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and characterized by magnetic measurements, as the presence of ferrimagnetic Mn3O4 shell on the antiferromagnetic MnO core provides an exchange coupling at the core-shell interface. Thicker the Mn3O4 shell, higher is the exchange-biased hysteresis loop shift.
