Parametric Studies of Titania-Supported Gold-Catalyzed Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide.

ABSTRACT: This paper remarks the general correlations of the shape and crystallinity of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) support on gold deposition and carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. It was found that due to the larger rutile TiO₂ particles and thus the pore volume, the deposited gold particles tended to agglomerate, resulting in smaller catalyst surface area and limited gold loading, whilst anatase TiO₂ enabled better gold deposition. Those properties directly related to gold particle size and thus the number of low coordinated atoms play dominant roles in enhancing CO oxidation activity. Gold deposited on anatase spheroidal TiO₂ at photo-deposition wavelength of 410 nm for 5 min resulted in the highest CO oxidation activity of 0.0617 mmol CO/s.gAu (89.5% conversion) due to the comparatively highest catalyst surface area (114.4 m²/g), smallest gold particle size (2.8 nm), highest gold loading (7.2%), and highest Au⁰ content (68 mg/g catalyst). CO oxidation activity was also found to be directly proportional to the Au⁰ content. Based on diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, we postulate that anatase TiO₂-supported Au undergoes rapid direct oxidation whilst CO oxidation on rutile TiO₂-supported Au could be inhibited by co-adsorption of oxygen.

Contributions of distinct gold species to catalytic reactivity for carbon monoxide oxidation.

Project description:Small-size (<5 nm) gold nanostructures supported on reducible metal oxides have been widely investigated because of the unique catalytic properties they exhibit in diverse redox reactions. However, arguments about the nature of the gold active site have continued for two decades, due to the lack of comparable catalyst systems with specific gold species, as well as the scarcity of direct experimental evidence for the reaction mechanism under realistic working conditions. Here we report the determination of the contribution of single atoms, clusters and particles to the oxidation of carbon monoxide at room temperature, by the aid of in situ X-ray absorption fine structure analysis and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. We find that the metallic gold component in clusters or particles plays a much more critical role as the active site than the cationic single-atom gold species for the room-temperature carbon monoxide oxidation reaction.

Molecular-level insights into the electronic effects in platinum-catalyzed carbon monoxide oxidation.

Project description:A molecular-level understanding of how the electronic structure of metal center tunes the catalytic behaviors remains a grand challenge in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we report an unconventional kinetics strategy for bridging the microscopic metal electronic structure and the macroscopic steady-state rate for CO oxidation over Pt catalysts. X-ray absorption and photoelectron spectroscopy as well as electron paramagnetic resonance investigations unambiguously reveal the tunable Pt electronic structures with well-designed carbon support surface chemistry. Diminishing the electron density of Pt consolidates the CO-assisted O2 dissociation pathway via the O*-O-C*-O intermediate directly observed by isotopic labeling studies and rationalized by density-functional theory calculations. A combined steady-state isotopic transient kinetic and in situ electronic analyses identifies Pt charge as the kinetics indicators by being closely related to the frequency factor, site coverage, and activation energy. Further incorporation of catalyst structural parameters yields a novel model for quantifying the electronic effects and predicting the catalytic performance. These could serve as a benchmark of catalyst design by a comprehensive kinetics study at the molecular level.

Raman Spectroscopy Applied to Monitor Furfural Liquid-Phase Oxidation Catalyzed by Supported Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:In this paper, Raman spectroscopy is used as a tool to study the mechanism of furfural oxidation using H2O2 as a reagent on gold nanoparticles (NPs) supported on hydrotalcites (HTs). This reaction was repeated, under the same conditions, but with different reaction times in a parallel multireactor system. The reaction media were analyzed using a macro device associated with a multipass cell permitting us to enhance the Raman signal by reflecting the laser beam 3 times. The Raman spectra showed the conversion of furfural to furoic acid without any chemical intermediates, thus privileging a direct pathway. Combining the results of the catalytic tests with those of the Raman study, the mechanism of furfural oxidation to furoic acid using gold NPs supported on HTs is proposed. The key points of this mechanism were found to be as follows: (i) the in situ formation of a base, originating from the Mg leaching from the HT support, initiates the oxidation of furfural by deprotonation; (ii) H2O2 used as a reagent in the solution increases the catalytic activity by its dissociation to form hydroxide ions; and (iii) the oxidation of furfural occurs on the surface of gold NPs and leads to higher furoic acid yield.

Population and hierarchy of active species in gold iron oxide catalysts for carbon monoxide oxidation.

Project description:The identity of active species in supported gold catalysts for low temperature carbon monoxide oxidation remains an unsettled debate. With large amounts of experimental evidence supporting theories of either gold nanoparticles or sub-nm gold species being active, it was recently proposed that a size-dependent activity hierarchy should exist. Here we study the diverging catalytic behaviours after heat treatment of Au/FeOx materials prepared via co-precipitation and deposition precipitation methods. After ruling out any support effects, the gold particle size distributions in different catalysts are quantitatively studied using aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). A counting protocol is developed to reveal the true particle size distribution from HAADF-STEM images, which reliably includes all the gold species present. Correlation of the populations of the various gold species present with catalysis results demonstrate that a size-dependent activity hierarchy must exist in the Au/FeOx catalyst.

Titania-Catalyzed H2O2 Thermal Oxidation of Styrenes to Aldehydes.

Project description:We investigated the selective oxidation of styrenes to benzaldehydes by using a non-irradiated TiO2-H2O2 catalytic system. The oxidation promotes multi-step reactions from styrenes, including the cleavage of a C=C double bond and the addition of an oxygen atom selectively and stepwise to provide the corresponding benzaldehydes in good yields (up to 72%). These reaction processes were spectroscopically shown by fluorescent measurements under the presence of competitive scavengers. The absence of the signal from OH radicals indicates the participation of other oxidants such as hydroperoxy radicals (•OOH) and superoxide radicals (•O2-) into the selective oxidation from styrene to benzaldehyde.

Carbon Support Surface Effects in the Gold-Catalyzed Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural.

Project description:Oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is an important transformation for the production of bio-based polymers. Carbon-supported gold catalysts hold great promise for this transformation. Here we demonstrate that the activity, selectivity, and stability of the carbon-supported gold nanoparticles in the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural strongly depend on the surface properties of the carbon support. Gold nanoparticles supported on basic carbon materials with a low density of functional groups demonstrate higher activity in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation (TOFAu up to 1195 h-1), higher selectivity to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, and better stability in comparison to gold nanoparticles supported on carbon materials with acidic surface groups. Surface groups of basic carbon supports that are positively charged under the reaction conditions result in a higher adsorption and local concentration of hydroxyl ions, which act as cocatalysts for gold and enhance gold-catalyzed dehydrogenation. Negatively charged surface groups of acidic carbons repel hydroxyls and the intermediate monoacid anions, which leads to lower reaction rates and a high selectivity toward 2,5-hydroxymethylfurancarboxylic acid. Understanding the role of support surface charge and local hydroxyl anion concentration provides a basis for the rational design of the optimal carbon support surface chemistry for highly active, selective, and stable catalysts for the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and related reactions.

Carbon Monoxide-Sensing Transcription Factors: Regulators of Microbial Carbon Monoxide Oxidation Pathway Gene Expression.

Project description:Carbon monoxide (CO) serves as a source of energy and carbon for a diverse set of microbes found in anaerobic and aerobic environments. The enzymes that bacteria and archaea use to oxidize CO depend upon complex metallocofactors that require accessory proteins for assembly and proper function. This complexity comes at a high energetic cost and necessitates strict regulation of CO metabolic pathways in facultative CO metabolizers to ensure that gene expression occurs only when CO concentrations and redox conditions are appropriate. In this review, we examine two known heme-dependent transcription factors, CooA and RcoM, that regulate inducible CO metabolism pathways in anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms. We provide an analysis of the known physiological and genomic contexts of these sensors and employ this analysis to contextualize known biochemical properties. In addition, we describe a growing list of putative transcription factors associated with CO metabolism that potentially use cofactors other than heme to sense CO.

The Challenging in silico Description of Carbon Monoxide Oxidation as Catalyzed by Molybdenum-Copper CO Dehydrogenase.

Project description:Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic gas to many living organisms. However, some microorganisms are able to use this molecule as the sole source of carbon and energy. Soil bacteria such as the aerobic Oligotropha carboxidovorans are responsible for the annual removal of about 2x108 tons of CO from the atmosphere. Detoxification through oxidation of CO to CO2 is enabled by the MoCu-dependent CO-dehydrogenase enzyme (MoCu-CODH) which-differently from other enzyme classes with similar function-retains its catalytic activity in the presence of atmospheric O2. In the last few years, targeted advancements have been described in the field of bioengineering and biomimetics, which is functional for future technological exploitation of the catalytic properties of MoCu-CODH and for the reproduction of its reactivity in synthetic complexes. Notably, a growing interest for the quantum chemical investigation of this enzyme has recently also emerged. This mini-review compiles the current knowledge of the MoCu-CODH catalytic cycle, with a specific focus on the outcomes of theoretical studies on this enzyme class. Rather controversial aspects from different theoretical studies will be highlighted, thus illustrating the challenges posed by this system as far as the application of density functional theory and hybrid quantum-classical methods are concerned.

Mechanistic Studies of Palladium-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation of Aryl Chlorides with Carbon Monoxide and Ammonia.

Project description:Mechanistic information on a reliable, palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl chlorides with ammonia is reported. The reaction occurs with ethylene complex 1 as catalyst, and mechanistic information was gained by isolation of catalytic intermediates and kinetic measurements, including the first mechanistic data on the oxidative addition of aryl chloride to a palladium(0) complex in the presence of CO. Arylpalladium and phenacylpalladium halide intermediates were synthesized, and kinetic measurements of the formation and reactions of these intermediates were undertaken to determine the mechanism of the oxidative addition of aryl bromides and chlorides to a Pd(0) dicarbonyl compound in the presence of CO and the mechanism of the reaction of ammonia with a Pd(II) phenacyl complex to form benzamide. The oxidative addition of aryl chlorides and aryl bromides was determined to occur with rate-limiting reaction of the haloarene with a three-coordinate Pd(0) species bearing a bidentate phosphine and one CO ligand. A primary 13C kinetic isotope effect suggested that this step involves cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond. Our data show that the formation of benzamide from the reaction of phenacylpalladium halide complexes with ammonia occurs by a pathway involving reversible displacement of chloride from a phenacylpalladium chloride complex by ammonia, deprotonation of the bound ammonia to form a phenacylpalladium amido complex, and reductive elimination to form the C-N bond. Consistent with this mechanism, the reaction of an aryl palladium amido complex with CO formed the corresponding primary benzamide. A catalyst deactivation pathway involving the formation of a Pd(I) dimer also was elucidated.
