Selective oxidation of methane to formaldehyde by oxygen over silica-supported iron catalysts

FeOx-SiO2 catalysts prepared by a sol-gel method were studied for the selective oxidation of methane by oxygen. A single-pass formaldehyde yield of 2.0% was obtained over the FeOx-SiO2 with an iron content of 0.5 wt% at 898 K. This 0.5 wt% FeOx-SiO2 catalyst demonstrated significantly higher catalytic performances than the 0.5 wt% FeOx/SiO2 prepared by an impregnation method. The correlation between the catalytic performances and the characterizations with UV-Vis and H2-TPR suggested that the higher dispersion of iron species in the catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method was responsible for its higher catalytic activity for formaldehyde formation. The modification of the FeOx-SiO2 by phosphorus enhanced the formaldehyde selectivity, and a single-pass formaldehyde yield of 2.4% could be attained over a P-FeOx-SiO2 catalyst （P/Fe = 0.5） at 898 K. Raman spectroscopic measurements indicated the formation of FePO4 nanoclusters in this catalyst, which were more selective toward formaldehyde formation.

Ammoxidation of Substituted Toluenes on Silica-Supported VPO Catalysts

The ammoxidation of substituted toluenes to their corresponding nitriles over silica-supported vanadium phosphorus oxide (VPO/SiO2) catalysts has been studied. the effects of carrier silica, the addition of phosphorus, the substituents and the loadings have been discussed. Compared with unsupported VPO, the VPO/SiO2 catalysts have higher catalytic activity for ammoxidation of substituted toluenes and much lower reaction temperature. XRD shows that vanadium phosphorus oxides exist as amorphous phase and disperse to a high degree on the silica surface in 10%loading catalyst. When the loadings are over 10%, the crystalline α-VOPO4 would emerge, which would decrease the yield and selectivity. Additional phosphorus can form composite oxides with vanadia and play concerted catalytic function, which increase the selectivity of nitriles remarkably. Different substituents or same substituents on different positions have different influences because of the variant electronic stability of intermediates, the hindered accessibility of methyl group or the chemisorption state of the substrate molecule on the electrophilic catalyst surface.

SILICA-SUPPORTED NICKEL AND ZIRCONIUM CATALYSTS FOR BRANCHED POLYETHYLENE

8-Aminoquinoline nickel dichloride and bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride (Cp_2ZrCl_2) were supportedsimultaneously on silica to produce branched polyethylene successfully by combined polymerization. The supportedpolymerization results showed that the molecular weight of polyethylene increased while the molecular weight distributionbecame wider and the molecular chains of oligomers remaning in the final solution became shorter as compared to theoligomers obtained in polymerization processes with pure 8-aminoquinoline nickel dichloride catalysis, as well as theCp_2ZrCl_2 and nickel combination system. With decreasing amount of Ni catalyst in the supported catalyst, the molecular chains of oligomers in the resulting solution became shorter, while α-olefin selectivity increased.

Highly selective production of phenol from benzene over mesoporous silica-supported chromium catalyst:Role of response surface methodology in optimization of operating variables

A Cr/SBA-16 catalyst was prepared using Cr（NO3）3 as a precursor and mesoporous silica SBA-16 as a support via a simple impregnation method. The catalyst was characterized using wide-angle X-ray diffraction （XRD）, low-angle XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, transmission electron microscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The catalyst activity was investigated in the direct bydroxylation of benzene to phenol using H2O2 as the oxidant. Various operating variables, namely reaction temperature, reaction time, amount of H2O2, and catalyst dosage, were optimized using central composite design combined with response surface methodology （RSM）. The results showed that the correla- tion between the independent parameters and phenol yield was represented by a second-order polynomial model. The high correlation coefficient （R2）, i.e., 0.985, showed that the data predicted using RSM were in good agreement with the experimental results. The optimization results also showed that high selectivity for phenol was achieved at the optimized values of the operating variables： reaction temperature 324 K, reaction time 8 h, H2O2 content 3.28 mL, and catalyst dosage 0.09 g. This study showed that RSM was a reliable method for optimizing process variables for benzene hydroxylation to phenol.

Bimetallic Single‑Atom Catalysts for Water Splitting

Green hydrogen from water splitting has emerged as a critical energy vector with the potential to spearhead the global transition to a fossil fuel-independent society.The field of catalysis has been revolutionized by single-atom catalysts(SACs),which exhibit unique and intricate interactions between atomically dispersed metal atoms and their supports.Recently,bimetallic SACs(bimSACs)have garnered significant attention for leveraging the synergistic functions of two metal ions coordinated on appropriately designed supports.BimSACs offer an avenue for rich metal–metal and metal–support cooperativity,potentially addressing current limitations of SACs in effectively furnishing transformations which involve synchronous proton–electron exchanges,substrate activation with reversible redox cycles,simultaneous multi-electron transfer,regulation of spin states,tuning of electronic properties,and cyclic transition states with low activation energies.This review aims to encapsulate the growing advancements in bimSACs,with an emphasis on their pivotal role in hydrogen generation via water splitting.We subsequently delve into advanced experimental methodologies for the elaborate characterization of SACs,elucidate their electronic properties,and discuss their local coordination environment.Overall,we present comprehensive discussion on the deployment of bimSACs in both hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction,the two half-reactions of the water electrolysis process.

Catalyst–Support Interaction in Polyaniline‑Supported Ni_(3)Fe Oxide to Boost Oxygen Evolution Activities for Rechargeable Zn‑Air Batteries

Catalyst–support interaction plays a crucial role in improving the catalytic activity of oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Here we modulate the catalyst–support interaction in polyaniline-supported Ni_(3)Fe oxide(Ni_(3)Fe oxide/PANI)with a robust hetero-interface,which significantly improves oxygen evolution activities with an overpotential of 270 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2)and specific activity of 2.08 mA cm_(ECSA)^(-2)at overpotential of 300 mV,3.84-fold that of Ni_(3)Fe oxide.It is revealed that the catalyst–support interaction between Ni_(3)Fe oxide and PANI support enhances the Ni–O covalency via the interfacial Ni–N bond,thus promoting the charge and mass transfer on Ni_(3)Fe oxide.Considering the excellent activity and stability,rechargeable Zn-air batteries with optimum Ni_(3)Fe oxide/PANI are assembled,delivering a low charge voltage of 1.95 V to cycle for 400 h at 10 mA cm^(-2).The regulation of the effect of catalyst–support interaction on catalytic activity provides new possibilities for the future design of highly efficient OER catalysts.

Activity and Selectivity in CO Hydrogenation with Silica-supported Ru-Co Bimetallic Cluster-derived Catalysts

The catalytic performance of bimetallic Ru-Co catalysts prepared from a series of H3Ru3Co(CO)12. RuCo2(CO)11 and HRuCo3(CO)12 in CO hydrogenation was investigated, and it was found that the Ru-Co bimetallic carbonyl cluster-derived catalysts showed a high activity for products, particularly higher oxygenates, compared with the catalysts prepared from impregnation or co-impregnation of monometallic clusters such as [HRu3(CO)11] and Co4(CO)12. The selectivity for oxygenates in CO hydrogenation highly increased with the molar ratio of Co/Ru in the Ru-Co bimetallic cluster to CO/H2 in feed gas. Raising reaction temperature led to an intensive increase of CO conversion and a considerable decrease of selectivity for oxygenates. In situ FT-IR studies revealed that the band at 1584 cm-1 on Ru-Co bimetallic cluster-derived catalysts at 453 K under syngas (CO/H2 = 0. 5) has a good linear relationship to rates of oxygenate formation, which is likely associated with an intermediate to produce oxygenates in CO hydrogenation.

Boosting Oxygen Evolution Reaction Performance on NiFe‑Based Catalysts Through d‑Orbital Hybridization

Anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers(AEMWEs)for green hydrogen production have received intensive attention due to their feasibility of using earth-abundant NiFe-based catalysts.By introducing a third metal into NiFe-based catalysts to construct asymmetrical M-NiFe units,the d-orbital and electronic structures can be adjusted,which is an important strategy to achieve sufficient oxygen evolution reaction(OER)performance in AEMWEs.Herein,the ternary NiFeM(M:La,Mo)catalysts featured with distinct M-NiFe units and varying d-orbitals are reported in this work.Experimental and theoretical calculation results reveal that the doping of La leads to optimized hybridization between d orbital in NiFeM and 2p in oxygen,resulting in enhanced adsorption strength of oxygen intermediates,and reduced rate-determining step energy barrier,which is responsible for the enhanced OER performance.More critically,the obtained NiFeLa catalyst only requires 1.58 V to reach 1 A cm^(−2) in an anion exchange membrane electrolyzer and demonstrates excellent long-term stability of up to 600 h.

Preparation of Co/S co-doped carbon catalysts for excellent methylene blue degradation

S and Co co-doped carbon catalysts were prepared via pyrolysis of MOF-71 and thiourea mixtures at 800℃at a mass ratio of MOF-71 to thiourea of 1:0.1 to effectively activate peroxymonosulfate(PMS)for methylene blue(MB)degradation.The effects of two different mixing routes were identified on the MB degradation performance.Particularly,the catalyst obtained by the alcohol solvent evaporation(MOF-AEP)mixing route could degrade 95.60%MB(50 mg/L)within 4 min(degradation rate:K=0.78 min^(-1)),which was faster than that derived from the direct grinding method(MOF-DGP,80.97%,K=0.39 min^(-1)).X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the Co-S content of MOF-AEP(43.39at%)was less than that of MOF-DGP(54.73at%),and the proportion of C-S-C in MOF-AEP(13.56at%)was higher than that of MOF-DGP(10.67at%).Density functional theory calculations revealed that the adsorption energy of Co for PMS was -2.94 eV when sulfur was doped as C-S-C on the carbon skeleton,which was higher than that when sulfur was doped next to cobalt in the form of Co-S bond(-2.86 eV).Thus,the C-S-C sites might provide more contributions to activate PMS compared with Co-S.Furthermore,the degradation parameters,including pH and MOF-AEP dosage,were investigated.Finally,radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)measurements revealed that ^(1)O_(2)might be the primary catalytic species,whereas·O~(2-)might be the secondary one in degrading MB.

CATALYTIC BEHAVIOR OF SILICA-SUPPORTED POLY-γ- AMINOPROPYL- SILOXANE-Co-Ru BIMETALLIC COMPLEX FOR THE HYDROFORMYLATION OF CYCLOHEXENE

The cobalt and ruthenium bimetallic complex of poly-γ-amino-propylsiloxane( abbr. as Si-CH_2-Co-Ru) was prepared, and it was found that it can catalyze the hydroformylation of cyclobexene effectively with the conversion amounting to over 90%. Cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde was first formed in the hydroformylation, and then further hydrogenated to form cylcohexanemethanol. The coversion was affected obviously by the Co/Ru ratio.When Co/Ru molar ratio was 100-150, i.e. in the very low content of noble metal Ru, the catalytic activity of Si-NH_2 -Co-Ru was also very high. The product composition was affected by CO/H_2 ratio in the reaction gas. Aldehyde can be got high selectively by controlling CO/H_2 ratio. Compared with other catalyst system, the Si-NH_2-Co-Ru catalyst has higher catalytic activity and efficiency with very low Ru/Co ratio. The total turnover number was more than 28,800 (based on the amount of ruthenium used).
