Here we comparatively studied the electrooxidation of alcohols catalyzed by nanostructured palladium or palladium-cerium oxide. Two kinds of active sites were observed in palladium-cerium oxide system, attributing to the co-action of Pd-cerium oxide interface and Pd sites alone, by CO stripping technique, a structure-sensitive process generally employed to probe the active sites. Active sites resulting from the nanostructured interfacial contact of Pd and cerium oxide were confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy and electrochemical CO stripping approaches. Electrochemical measurements of cyclic voltammetry and chronometry results demonstrated that Pd-cerium oxide catalysts exhibited much higher catalytic performances for alcohols oxidation than Pd alone in terms of activity, stability and anti-poisoning ability.The improved performance was probably attributed to the nanostructured active interface in which the catalytic ability from each component can be maximized through the synergistic action of bi-functional mechanism and electronic effect. The calculated catalytic efficiency of such active sites was many times higher than that of the Pd active sites alone. The present work showed the significance of valid nanostructured interface design and fabrication in the advanced catalysis system.展开更多

Instead of the total oxidation of organics in the degradation process, the photo-oxidation of alcohols aims at the selective conversion of alcohols to produce carbonyl/acid compounds.

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.

The composite CoPz(S-Bu)8/SiO2@Fe3O4appeared to be an active catalyst in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol in aqueous solution using hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) as oxidant under Xe-lamp irradiation,with 36.4% conversion of benzyl alcohol, about 99% selectivity for benzoic acid and turnover number(TON) of 61.7 at ambient temperature. The biomimetic catalyst CoPz(S-Bu)8was supported on the magnetic carrier SiO2@Fe3O4 so as to suspend it in aqueous solution to react with substrates, utilizing its lipophilicity. Meanwhile the CoPz(S-Bu)8can use its unique advantages to control the selectivity of photocatalytic oxidation without the substrate being subjected to deep oxidation. The influence of various reaction parameters on the conversion rate of benzyl alcohol and selectivity of benzoic acid was investigated in detail. Moreover, photocatalytic oxidation of substituted benzyl alcohols was obtained with high conversion and excellent selectivity, specifically conversion close to 70%, selectivity close to 100% and TON of 113.6 for para-position electron-donating groups. The selectivity and eco-friendliness of the biomimetic photocatalyst give it great potential for practical applications.展开更多

文摘Surface/interface engineering of a multimetallic nanostructure with diverse electrocatalytic properties for direct liquid fuel cells is desirable yet challenging.Herein,using visible light,a class of quaternary Pt_(1)Ag_(0.1)Bi_(0.16)Te_(0.29)ultrathin nanosheets is fabricated and used as high-performance anode electrocatalysts for formic acid-/alcohol-air fuel cells.The modified electronic structure of Pt,enhanced hydroxyl adsorption,and abundant exterior defects afford Pt_(1)Ag_(0.1)Bi_(0.16)Te_(0.29)/C high intrinsic anodic electrocatalytic activity to boost the power densities of direct formic acid-/methanol-/ethanol-/ethylene glycol-/glycerol-air fuel cells,and the corresponding peak power density of Pt_(1)Ag_(0.1)Bi_(0.16)Te_(0.29)/C is respectively 129.7,142.3,105.4,124.3,and 128.0 mW cm^(-2),considerably outperforming Pt/C.Operando in situ Fourier transform infrared reflection spectroscopy reveals that formic acid oxidation on Pt_(1)Ag_(0.1)Bi_(0.16)Te_(0.29)/C occurs via a CO_(2)-free direct pathway.Density functional theory calculations show that the presence of Ag,Bi,and Te in Pt_(1)Ag_(0.1)Bi_(0.16)Te_(0.29)suppresses CO^(*)formation while optimizing dehydrogenation steps and synergistic effect and modified Pt effectively enhance H_(2)O dissociation to improve electrocatalytic performance.This synthesis strategy can be extended to 43 other types of ultrathin multimetallic nanosheets(from ternary to octonary nanosheets),and efficiently capture precious metals(i.e.,Pd,Pt,Rh,Ru,Au,and Ag)from different water sources.

文摘Coordination cages with intrinsic enzyme-like activity are a class of promising catalysts for improving the efficiency of organic reactions.We present herein a viable strategy to conveniently construct multimetallic active sites into a coordination cage via self-assembly of a pre-formed sulfonylcalix[4]arene-based tetranuclear copper(II)precursor and an amino-functionalized dicarboxylate linker.The cage exhibits a“defective”,partially open cylindrical structure and features coordinatively labile dimetallic Cu(II)sites.Modulated by this unique inner cavity environment,promising catalytic activity toward selective oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids at room temperature is achieved.Mechanistic studies reveal that the coordinatively labile dimetallic Cu(II)sites can efficiently capture and activate the substrate and oxidant to catalyze the reaction,while the confined nano-cavity environment modulates substrate binding and enhances the catalytic turnover.This study provides a new approach to designing biomimetic multifunctional coordination cages and environmentally friendly supramolecular catalysts.

文摘Alcohol fuel electro-reforming is promising for green hydrogen generation while developing efficient bifunctional catalysts for alcohol fuel electrolysis is still very tricky.Herein,we for the first time proposed the electron-enriched Pt induced by CoSe_(2)has an efficient bi-functional catalytic ability for alcohol fuels electro-reforming of hydrogen in acid electrolytes.The theoretical calculation revealed the advantages of electron-enriched Pt surface for the adsorption of intermediate,which is well supported by spectroscopic analysis and CO-stripping techniques.Largely improved catalytic performances of activity,durability,and kinetics are demonstrated compared to the conventional alloy system and commercial Pt/C catalyst,due to the efficient synergism of Pt and CoSe_(2);the peak current density of Pt/CoSe_(2)for methanol(ethanol)oxidation is 87.61(48.27)m A cm^(-2),which is about 3.3(2.0)times higher than that of Pt/C catalyst and 2.0(1.5)times that of the traditional PtCo alloy catalysts.Impressively,about 80%of the initial current was found after 1000 cycles of stability test for alcohol fuel oxidation of Pt/CoSe_(2)catalyst,higher than that of Pt/C(ca.50%)and PtCo catalyst(65%).When Pt/CoSe_(2)catalyst serviced as bi-functional catalysts for electrolyzer,a low cell potential of 0.65(0.78)V for methanol(ethanol)electrolysis was required to reach 10 m A cm^(-2),which was about 1030(900)m V less than that of conventional water electrolysis using Pt/C as the catalyst.The current result is instructive for the design of novel bifunctional catalyst and the understanding of hydrogen generation via alcohol fuel electro-reforming.

文摘Noble-metal-free photocatalysts with high and stable performance provide an environmentally-friendly and cost-efficient route for green organic synthesis.In this work,CdS nanoparticles with small particle size and different amount were successfully deposited on the surface of covalent organic frameworks(COFs).The deposition of suitable content of CdS on COFs could not only modify the light adsorption ability and the intrinsic electronic properties,but also enhance the photocatalytic activity and cycling performance of CdS for the selective oxidation of aromatic alcohols under visible light.Especially,COF/CdS-3 exhibited the highest yield(97.1%)of benzalde hyde which is approximately 2.5 and 15.9 times as that of parental CdS and COF,respectively.The results show that the combination of CdS and COF can improve the utilization of visible light and the separation of photo-generated charge carriers,and COF with theπ-conjugated system as supports for CdS nanoparticles could provide efficient electron transport channels and improve the photocatalytic performance.Therefore,this kind of COF-supported photocatalysts with accelerated photo-induced electrons and charge-carrier separation between semiconductors possesses great potentials in future green organic synthesis.

文摘Exploring highly efficient bifunctional photocatalysts for simultaneous H2 evolution and organic chemical production in pure water represents a green route for sustainable solar energy storage and conversion.Herein,a facile strategy was explored for preparing a hierarchical porous heterostructure of Fe_(4)Ni_(5)S_(8)@ZnIn_(2)S_(4)(FNS@ZIS)by the in situ growth of ZIS nanosheets on Prussian blue analogue(PBA)-derived bimetallic FNS sulfides.A series of FNS@ZIS hierarchical structures were facilely prepared by adjusting the loading amount(n%)of FNS(n=19,26,and 32 for FNS@ZIS-1-3).These structures can efficiently drive the solar co-production of H_(2) and organic chemicals.The optimal co-production was achieved with FNS@ZIS-2,affording a H_(2) evolution rate of 10465μmol·g^(-1)·h^(-1),along with high selectivity for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde(>99.9%).The performance was 22 and 31 times higher than that of FNS and ZIS,respectively,and even superior to the state-of-the-art results achieved using various sacrificial agents.Further mechanistic study indicated that the unique hierarchical core/shell architecture can facilitate interfacial charge separation,afford bimetallic synergy,abundant active sites and excellent photostability.This work highlights a simple and efficient method for preparing porous multimetallic hierarchical structures for the solar co-production of organic chemicals and H_(2) fuel.

文摘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.

文摘A novel magnetically recoverable thioporphyrazine catalyst(CoPz(S-Bu)8/SiO2@Fe3O4) was prepared by immobilization of the cobalt octkis(butylthio) porphyrazine complex(CoPz(S-Bu)8) on silica-coated magnetic nanospheres(SiO2@Fe3O4). The composite CoPz(S-Bu)8/SiO2@Fe3O4appeared to be an active catalyst in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol in aqueous solution using hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) as oxidant under Xe-lamp irradiation,with 36.4% conversion of benzyl alcohol, about 99% selectivity for benzoic acid and turnover number(TON) of 61.7 at ambient temperature. The biomimetic catalyst CoPz(S-Bu)8was supported on the magnetic carrier SiO2@Fe3O4 so as to suspend it in aqueous solution to react with substrates, utilizing its lipophilicity. Meanwhile the CoPz(S-Bu)8can use its unique advantages to control the selectivity of photocatalytic oxidation without the substrate being subjected to deep oxidation. The influence of various reaction parameters on the conversion rate of benzyl alcohol and selectivity of benzoic acid was investigated in detail. Moreover, photocatalytic oxidation of substituted benzyl alcohols was obtained with high conversion and excellent selectivity, specifically conversion close to 70%, selectivity close to 100% and TON of 113.6 for para-position electron-donating groups. The selectivity and eco-friendliness of the biomimetic photocatalyst give it great potential for practical applications.

文摘Metallenes are an emerging class of two-dimensional(2D)material with outstanding potential in electrocatalysis.Herein,we present a new PdMoSb trimetallene produced by a facile wet-chemistry procedure and tested for the alcohol oxidation reaction.PdMoSb shows an extremely high Pd utilization and superior performance toward ethanol,methanol,and glycerol electro-oxidation compared with PdMo and commercial Pd/C catalysts.Experimental results and density functional theory calculations reveal that the enhanced activity relies not only on the high surface area that characterizes the ultrathin 2D metallene structure,but also on the particular electronic configuration of Sb.Sb facilitates OH−adsorption in the reactive-intermediate pathway and strongly enhances the CO tolerance in the poisoning-intermediate pathway for alcohol oxidation.The excellent alcohol oxidation performance of PdMoSb trimetallene demonstrates the high potential of multimetallenes in the field of electrocatalysis.
