Theoretical investigations on CO oxidation reaction catalyzed by gold nanoparticles

It is crucial to understand the mechanism of low temperature CO oxidation reaction catalyzed by gold nanoparticles so as to find out the origin of the high catalytic reactivity and extend the indus‐trialization applications of nano gold catalysts. In this work, some theoretical works on CO adsorp‐tion, O2 adsorption, atomic oxygen adsorption, formation of surface gold oxide films, reaction mechanisms of CO oxidation involving O2 reaction with CO and O2 dissociation before reacting with CO on gold surfaces and Au/metal oxide were summarized, and the influences of coordination number, charge transfer and relativity of gold on CO oxidation reaction were briefly reviewed. It was found that CO reaction mechanism depended on the systems with or without oxide and the strong relativistic effects might play an important role in CO oxidation reaction on gold catalysts. In particular, the relativistic effects are related to the unique behaviors of CO adsorption, O adsorption, O2 activation on gold surfaces, effects of coordination number and the wide gap between the chem‐ical inertness of bulk gold and high catalytic activity of nano gold. The present work helps us to understand the CO oxidation reaction mechanism on gold catalysts and the influence of relativistic effects on gold catalysis.

New strategy of S,N co‐doping of conductive‐copolymer‐derived carbon nanotubes to effectively improve the dispersion of PtCu nanocrystals for boosting the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol

Efficacious regulation of the geometric and electronic structures of carbon nanomaterials via the introduction of defects and their synergy is essential to achieving good electrochemical performance.However,the guidelines for designing hybrid materials with advantageous structures and the fundamental understanding of their electrocatalytic mechanisms remain unclear.Herein,superfine Pt and PtCu nanoparticles supported by novel S,N‐co‐doped multi‐walled CNT(MWCNTs)were prepared through the innovative pyrolysis of a poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)/polyaniline copolymer as a source of S and N.The uniform wrapping of the copolymer around the MWCNTs provides a high density of evenly distributed defects on the surface after the pyrolysis treatment,facilitating the uniform distribution of ultrafine Pt and PtCu nanoparticles.Remarkably,the Pt_(1)Cu_(2)/SN‐MWCNTs show an obviously larger electroactive surface area and higher mass activity,stability,and CO poisoning resistance in methanol oxidation compared to Pt/SN‐MWCNTs,Pt/S‐MWCNTs,Pt/N‐MWCNTs,and commercial Pt/C.Density functional theory studies confirm that the co‐doping of S and N considerably deforms the CNTs and polarizes the adjacent C atoms.Consequently,both the adsorption of Pt1Cu2 onto the SN‐MWCNTs and the subsequent adsorption of methanol are enhanced;in addition,the catalytic activity of Pt_(1)Cu_(2)/SN‐MWCNTs for methanol oxidation is thermodynamically and kinetically more favorable than that of its CNT and N‐CNT counterparts.This work provides a novel method to fabricate high‐performance fuel cell electrocatalysts with highly dispersed and stable Pt‐based nanoparticles on a carbon substrate.

Design of CuCs-doped Ag-based Catalyst for Ethylene Epoxidation

Our recent theoretical studies have screened out CuCs-doped Ag-based promising catalysts for ethylene epoxidation[ACS Catal.11,3371(2021)].The theoretical results were based on surface modeling,while in the actual reaction process Ag catalysts are particle shaped.In this work,we combine density functional theory(DFT),Wulff construction theory,and micro kinetic analysis to study the catalytic performance of Ag catalysts at the particle model.It demonstrates that the CuCs-doped Ag catalysts are superior to pure Ag catalysts in terms of selectivity and activity,which is further proved by experimental validation.The characterization analysis finds that both Cu and Cs dopant promote particle growth as well as particle dispersion,resulting in a grain boundary-rich Ag particle.Besides,CuCs also facilitate electrophilic atomic oxygen formation on catalyst surface,which is benefitial for ethylene oxide formation and desorption.Our work provides a case study for catalyst design by combining theory and experiment.
