Morphology-dependent structures and catalytic performances of Au nanostructures on Cu_2O nanocrystals synthesized by galvanic replacement reaction

Au nanostructures were prepared on uniform Cu2O octahedra and rhombic dodecahedra via the galvanic replacement reaction between HAuCl 4 and Cu2O. The compositions and structures were studied by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and in-situ DRIFTS spectroscopy of CO adsorption. Different from the formation of Au-Cu alloys on Cu2O cubes by the galvanic replacement reaction (ChemNanoMat 2 (2016) 861-865), metallic Au particles and positively-charged Au clusters form on Cu2O octahedra and rhombic dodecahedra at very small Au loadings and only metallic Au particles form at large Au loadings. Metallic Au particles on Cu2O octahedra and rhombic dodecahedra are more active in catalyzing the liquid phase aerobic oxidation reaction of benzyl alcohol than positively-charged Au clusters. These results demonstrate an obvious morphology effect of Cu2O nanocrystals on the liquid-solid interfacial reactions and prove oxide morphology as an effective strategy to tune the surface reactivity and catalytic performance.

Effect of Copper (II) Ions on Quality of Struvite Produced in Continuous Reaction Crystallization Process at the Magnesium Ions Excess

The research results concerning continuous removal of phosphate (V) ions from solutions containing 1.0 or 0.20 mass % of phosphate (V) ions and 0.2 or 0.5 mg/kg of copper (II) ions using magnesium and ammonium ions addition are presented. Continuous reaction crystallization of struvite MgNH4PO4 × 6H2O ran both under stoichiometric conditions and at 20% excess of magnesium ions (pH 9, t 900 s). It was concluded, that presence of copper (II) ions in a process system influenced product quality moderately advantageously. Mean size of struvite crystals enlarged by ca. 6% only. Lower concentration of phosphate (V) ions and excess of magnesium ions caused, that products of ca. 9% - 13% larger crystal mean size (up to ca.40mm) were removed from the crystallizer. Presence of struvite crystals and copper (II) hydroxide were detected analytically in the products (Cu in a product varied from 6 to 90 mg/kg). Presence of copper (II) ions favored crystallization of struvite in the form of tubular crystals.

Under these conditions linear growth rate of struvite crystals (SIG MSMPR kinetic model) decreased 2-time with the increase in pH and 3-time with the elongation of mean residence time of crystal suspension from 7.11×10-9 m/s (pH 9, τ900 s) to 1.65×10-9 m/s (pH 11, τ3600 s). Nucleation rate varied within the 7.9×108-1.8×1010 1/(sm3) limits. Struvite product of maximal linear size exceeded 100 μm with 10 vol. % of < 3 μm fraction corresponded to pH 9 and τ3600 s.

Electrochemical CO2 reduction over nitrogen-doped SnO2 crystal surfaces

Crystal planes of a catalyst play crucial role in determining the electrocatalytic performance for CO2 reduction.The catalyst SnO2 can convert CO2 molecules into valuable formic acid(HCOOH).Incorporating heteroatom N into SnO2 further improves its catalytic activity.To understand the mechanism and realize a highly efficient CO2-to-HCOOH conversion,we used density functional theory(DFT)to calculate the free energy of CO2 reduction reactions(CO2RR)on different crystal planes of N-doped SnO2(N-SnO2).The results indicate that N-SnO2 lowered the activation energy of intermediates leading to a better catalytic performance than pure SnO2.We also discovered that the N-Sn O2 (211)plane possesses the most suitable free energy during the reduction process,exhibiting the best catalytic ability for the CO2-to-HCOOH conversion.The intermediate of CO2RR on N-SnO2 is HCOO*or COOH* instead of OCHO*.These results may provide useful insights into the mechanism of CO2RR,and promote the development of heteroatomdoped catalyst for efficient CO2RR.
