Order-Induced Selectivity Increase of Cu60Pd40 in the Semi-Hydrogenation of Acetylene.

ABSTRACT: The two structural modifications of Cu60Pd40 were synthesized as bulk powders and tested as unsupported model catalysts in the semi-hydrogenation of acetylene. The partly ordered low-temperature modification (CsCl type of structure) showed an outstanding ethylene selectivity of >90% over 20 h on stream while the disordered high-temperature modification (Cu type of structure) was 20% less selective, indicating an influence of the degree of order in the crystal structure on the catalytic properties. The results are supported by XRD and in situ XPS experiments. The latter suggest the existence of partly isolated Pd sites on the surface. In situ PGAA investigations proved the absence of metal hydride formation during reaction. Quantum chemical calculations of the electronic structure of both modifications using the CPA-FPLO framework revealed significant differences in their respective density of states, thus still leaving open the question of whether the degree of structural order or/and the electronic hybridization is the decisive factor for the observed difference in selectivity.

Grafting nanometer metal/oxide interface towards enhanced low-temperature acetylene semi-hydrogenation.

Project description:Metal/oxide interface is of fundamental significance to heterogeneous catalysis because the seemingly "inert" oxide support can modulate the morphology, atomic and electronic structures of the metal catalyst through the interface. The interfacial effects are well studied over a bulk oxide support but remain elusive for nanometer-sized systems like clusters, arising from the challenges associated with chemical synthesis and structural elucidation of such hybrid clusters. We hereby demonstrate the essential catalytic roles of a nanometer metal/oxide interface constructed by a hybrid Pd/Bi2O3 cluster ensemble, which is fabricated by a facile stepwise photochemical method. The Pd/Bi2O3 cluster, of which the hybrid structure is elucidated by combined electron microscopy and microanalysis, features a small Pd-Pd coordination number and more importantly a Pd-Bi spatial correlation ascribed to the heterografting between Pd and Bi terminated Bi2O3 clusters. The intra-cluster electron transfer towards Pd across the as-formed nanometer metal/oxide interface significantly weakens the ethylene adsorption without compromising the hydrogen activation. As a result, a 91% selectivity of ethylene and 90% conversion of acetylene can be achieved in a front-end hydrogenation process with a temperature as low as 44 °C.

Anchoring Cu1 species over nanodiamond-graphene for semi-hydrogenation of acetylene.

Project description:The design of cheap, non-toxic, and earth-abundant transition metal catalysts for selective hydrogenation of alkynes remains a challenge in both industry and academia. Here, we report a new atomically dispersed copper (Cu) catalyst supported on a defective nanodiamond-graphene (ND@G), which exhibits excellent catalytic performance for the selective conversion of acetylene to ethylene, i.e., with high conversion (95%), high selectivity (98%), and good stability (for more than 60 h). The unique structural feature of the Cu atoms anchored over graphene through Cu-C bonds ensures the effective activation of acetylene and easy desorption of ethylene, which is the key for the outstanding activity and selectivity of the catalyst.

Au@Pt Nanotubes within CoZn-Based Metal-Organic Framework for Highly Efficient Semi-hydrogenation of Acetylene.

Project description:Designing nanocatalysts with synergetic functional component is a desirable strategy to achieve both high activity and selectivity for industrially important hydrogenation reaction. Herein, we fabricated a core-shell hollow Au@Pt NTs@ZIFs (ZIF, zeolitic imidazolate framework; NT, nanotube) nanocomposite as highly efficient catalysts for semi-hydrogenation of acetylene. Hollow Au@Pt NTs were synthesized by epitaxial growth of Pt shell on Au nanorods followed with oxidative etching of Au@Pt nanorod. The obtained hollow Au@Pt NTs were then homogeneously encapsulated within ZIFs through in situ crystallization. By combining the high activity of bimetallic nanotube and gas enrichment property of porous metal-organic frameworks, hollow Au@Pt NT@ZIF catalyst was demonstrated to show superior catalytic performance for the semi-hydrogenation of acetylene, in terms of both selectivity and activity, over those of monometallic Au and solid bimetal nanorod@ZIF counterparts. This catalysts design idea is believed to be inspirable for the development of highly efficient nanocomposite catalysts.

Pd/MCM-41 catalyst for acetylene hydrogenation to ethylene.

Project description:This study aims to produce ethylene using the calcium carbide route, acetylene from calcium carbide and then selective hydrogenation of the high-concentration acetylene to ethylene. A series of catalysts with different supports, such as Al2O3, SiO2 and MCM-41, were prepared using the ethylene glycol reduction method and their catalytic properties for high-concentration acetylene hydrogenation of calcium carbide to ethylene were studied by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and thermogravimetry, among others. The results show that the small particle size and uniform dispersion of palladium (Pd) particles in the Pd/MCM-41 catalyst produced the highest ethylene yield of 62.09%. Then, the conditions for the basic reaction, such as reaction temperature and space velocity, were optimized using MCM-41 as a support. The yield of ethylene after condition optimization was as high as 82.87%, while the loading of Pd was 0.1%.

Hydroxyl improving the activity, selectivity and stability of supported Ni single atoms for selective semi-hydrogenation.

Project description:Atomically dispersed metal catalysts with high atomic utilization and selectivity have been widely studied for acetylene semi-hydrogenation in excess ethylene among others. Further improvements of activity and selectivity, in addition to stability and loading, remain elusive due to competitive adsorption and desorption between reactants and products, hydrogen activation, partial hydrogenation etc. on limited site available. Herein, comprehensive density functional theory calculations have been used to explore the new strategy by introducing an appropriate ligand to stabilize the active single atom, improving the activity and selectivity on oxide supports. We find that the hydroxyl group can stabilize Ni single atoms significantly by forming Ni1(OH)2 complexes on anatase TiO2(101), whose unique electronic and geometric properties enable high performance in acetylene semi-hydrogenation. Specifically, Ni1(OH)2/TiO2(101) shows favorable acetylene adsorption and promotes the heterolytic dissociation of H2 achieving high catalytic activity, and it simultaneously weakens the ethylene bonding to facilitate subsequent desorption showing high ethylene selectivity. Hydroxyl stabilization of single metal atoms on oxide supports and promotion of the catalytic activity are sensitive to transition metal and the oxide supports. Compared to Co, Rh, Ir, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag and Au, and anatase ZrO2, IrO2 and NbO2 surfaces, the optimum interactions between Ni, O and Ti and resulted high activity, selectivity and stability make Ni1(OH)2/TiO2(101) a promising catalyst in acetylene hydrogenation. Our work provides valuable guidelines for utilization of ligands in the rational design of stable and efficient atomically dispersed catalysts.

Selectivity control in Pt-catalyzed cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation.

Project description:Chemoselectivity is a cornerstone of catalysis, permitting the targeted modification of specific functional groups within complex starting materials. Here we elucidate key structural and electronic factors controlling the liquid phase hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde and related benzylic aldehydes over Pt nanoparticles. Mechanistic insight from kinetic mapping reveals cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation is structure-insensitive over metallic platinum, proceeding with a common Turnover Frequency independent of precursor, particle size or support architecture. In contrast, selectivity to the desired cinnamyl alcohol product is highly structure sensitive, with large nanoparticles and high hydrogen pressures favoring C = O over C = C hydrogenation, attributed to molecular surface crowding and suppression of sterically-demanding adsorption modes. In situ vibrational spectroscopies highlight the role of support polarity in enhancing C = O hydrogenation (through cinnamaldehyde reorientation), a general phenomenon extending to alkyl-substituted benzaldehydes. Tuning nanoparticle size and support polarity affords a flexible means to control the chemoselective hydrogenation of aromatic aldehydes.

Thermally induced intermetallic Rh1Zn1 nanoparticles with high phase-purity for highly selective hydrogenation of acetylene.

Project description:Ordered M1Zn1 intermetallic phases with structurally isolated atom sites offer unique electronic and geometric structures for catalytic applications, but lack reliable industrial synthesis methods that avoid forming a disordered alloy with ill-defined composition. We developed a facile strategy for preparing well-defined M1Zn1 intermetallic nanoparticle (i-NP) catalysts from physical mixtures of monometallic M/SiO2 (M = Rh, Pd, Pt) and ZnO. The Rh1Zn1 i-NPs with structurally isolated Rh atom sites had a high intrinsic selectivity to ethylene (91%) with extremely low C4 and oligomer formation, outperforming the reported intermetallic and alloy catalysts in acetylene semihydrogenation. Further studies revealed that the M1Zn1 phases were formed in situ in a reducing atmosphere at 400 °C by a Zn atom emitting-trapping-ordering (Zn-ETO) mechanism, which ensures the high phase-purity of i-NPs. This study provides a scalable and practical solution for further exploration of Zn-based intermetallic phases and a new strategy for designing Zn-containing catalysts.

Copper-Based Catalysts for Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene Derived from Cu(OH)2.

Project description:Replacing precious metals with cheap metals in catalysts is a topic of interest in both industry and academia but challenging. Here, a selective hydrogenation catalyst was prepared by thermal treatment of Cu(OH)2 nanowires with acetylene-containing gas at 120 °C followed by hydrogen reduction at 150 °C. The characterization by means of transmission electron microscopy observation, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that two crystallites were present in the resultant catalyst. One of the crystal phases was metal Cu, whereas the other crystal phase was ascribed to an interstitial copper carbide (Cu x C) phase. The reduction of freshly prepared copper (II) acetylide (CuC2) at 150 °C also afforded the formation of Cu and Cu x C crystallites, indicating that CuC2 was the precursor or an intermediate in the formation of Cu x C. The prepared catalysts consisting of Cu and Cu x C exhibited a considerably high hydrogenation activity at low temperatures in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene in the ethylene stream. In the presence of a large excess of ethylene, acetylene was completely converted at 110 °C and atmospheric pressure with an ethane selectivity of <15%, and the conversion and selectivity were constant in a 260 h run.

Product selectivity in plasmonic photocatalysis for carbon dioxide hydrogenation.

Project description:Photocatalysis has not found widespread industrial adoption, in spite of decades of active research, because the challenges associated with catalyst illumination and turnover outweigh the touted advantages of replacing heat with light. A demonstration that light can control product selectivity in complex chemical reactions could prove to be transformative. Here, we show how the recently demonstrated plasmonic behaviour of rhodium nanoparticles profoundly improves their already excellent catalytic properties by simultaneously reducing the activation energy and selectively producing a desired but kinetically unfavourable product for the important carbon dioxide hydrogenation reaction. Methane is almost exclusively produced when rhodium nanoparticles are mildly illuminated as hot electrons are injected into the anti-bonding orbital of a critical intermediate, while carbon monoxide and methane are equally produced without illumination. The reduced activation energy and super-linear dependence on light intensity cause the unheated photocatalytic methane production rate to exceed the thermocatalytic rate at 350 °C.

BNPd single-atom catalysts for selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene: a density functional theory study.

Project description:The mechanisms of selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene on B11N12Pd single-atom catalyst were investigated through the density functional theory by using the 6-31++G** basis set. We studied the adsorption characteristics of H2 and C2H2, and simulated the reaction mechanism. We discovered that H2 underwent absolute dissociative chemisorption on single-atom Pd, forming the B11N12Pd(2H) dihydride complex, and then the hydrogenation reaction with C2H2 proceeded. The hydrogenation reaction of acetylene on the B11N12Pd complex complies with the Horiuti-Polanyi mechanism, and the energy barrier was as low as 26.55?kcal?mol-1. Meanwhile, it also has a higher selectivity than many bimetallic alloy single-atom catalysts.
