Regulating Lewis Acid-Base Sites over Fenton System for Enhancing Degradation of Pollutants in Saline and Buffered Wastewater

The saline and buffered environment in actual wastewater imposes higher demands on Fenton and Fenton-like catalytic systems.This study developed a MoS_(2)co-catalytic Fe_(2)O_(3)Fenton-like system with controllable Lewis acid-base sites,achieving efficient treatment of various model pollutants and actual industrial wastewater under neutral buffered environment.The acidic microenvironment structured by the edge S sites(Lewis basic sites)in the MoS_(2)/Fe_(2)O_(3)catalyst is susceptible to the influence of Lewis acidic sites constructed by Mo and Fe element,affecting catalytic performance.Optimizing the ratio of precursor amounts ensures the stable presence of the acidic microenvironment on the surface of catalyst,enabling the beneficial co-catalytic effect of Mo sites to be realized.Furthermore,it transcends the rigid constraints imposed by the Fenton reaction on reaction environments,thereby expanding the applicability of commonplace oxides such as Fe_(2)O_(3)in actual industrial water remediation.

Synergistic Lewis acid-base sites of ultrathin porous Co_(3)O_(4)nanosheets with enhanced peroxidase-like activity

Surface Lewis acid-base sites in crystal structure may influence the physicochemical properties and the catalytic performances in nanozymes.Understanding the synergistic effect mechanism of Co_(3)O_(4)nanozymes towards substances(3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)and hydrogen peroxide(H2O2))induced by surface Lewis acid-base sites is important to enhance the efficiency for peroxidase-like reaction.Herein,ultrathin porous Co_(3)O_(4)nanosheets with abundant Lewis acid-base sites were prepared by sodium borohydride(NaBH4)reduction treatment,which exhibited high-efficiency peroxidase-like activity compared with original Co_(3)O_(4)nanosheets.The Lewis acid-base sites for ultrathin porous Co_(3)O_(4)nanosheets nanozyme were owing to the coordination unsaturation of Co ions and the formation of defect structure.Ultrathin porous Co_(3)O_(4)nanosheets had 18.26-fold higher catalytic efficiency(1.27×10^(-2)s^(-1)·mM^(-1))than that of original Co_(3)O_(4)(6.95×10^(-4)s^(-1)·mM^(-1))in oxidizing TMB substrate.The synergistic effect of surface acid and base sites can enhance the interfacial electron transfer process of Co_(3)O_(4)nanosheets,which can be a favor of absorption substrates and the generation of reactive intermediates such as radicals.Furthermore,the limit of detection of hydroquinol was 0.58μM for ultrathin porous Co_(3)O_(4)nanosheets,965-fold lower than original Co_(3)O_(4)(560μM).Besides,the linear range of ultrathin porous Co_(3)O_(4)nanosheets was widely with the concentration of 5.0-1,000μM.Colorimetric detection of hydroquinol by agarose-based hydrogel membrane was provided based on excellent peroxidase-like properties.This study provided insights into designing high-performance nanozymes for peroxidase-like catalysis via a strategy of solid surface acid-base sites engineering.

Self-assembled three-dimensional carbon networks with accessorial Lewis base sites and variational electron characteristics as efficient oxygen reduction reaction catalysts for alkaline metal-air batteries

Heteroatom-doped carbon has been demonstrated to be one of the most promising non-noble metal catalysts with high catalytic activity and stability through the modification of the electronic and geometric structures.In this study,we develop a novel solvent method to prepare interconnected N,S co-doped three-dimensional（3D）carbon networks with tunable nanopores derived from an asso-ciated complex based on melamine and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate（SDBS）.After the intro-duction of silica templates and calcination,the catalyst exhibits 3D networks with interconnected 50-nm pores and partial graphitization.With the increase of the number of Lewis base sites caused by the N doping and change of the carbon charge and spin densities caused by the S doping,the designed N,S co-doped catalyst exhibits a similar electrochemical activity to that of the commercial 20-wt%Pt/C as an oxygen reduction reaction catalyst.In addition,in an aluminum-air battery,the proposed catalyst even outperforms the commercial 5-wt%Pt/C catalyst.Both interconnected porous structures and synergistic effects of N and S contribute to the superior catalytic perfor-mance.This study paves the way for the synthesis of various other N-doped and co-doped carbon materials as efficient catalysts in electrochemical energy applications.

黄铁矿-Fe(Ⅲ)表面Lewis酸位点增强微囊藻毒素催化水解的机制

天然黄铁矿(Pyrite)在高温(60℃)下能有效降解(k=0.072 min^(-1))水中微囊藻毒素(MCs),但突破高温瓶颈、实现常温条件[(25±5)℃]下MCs的高效降解仍是目前水处理技术的难点.本文发现外加铁离子(Fe^(3+),FeCl_(3))能加速Pyrite常温体系对微囊藻毒素-RR(MC-RR)的水解效率(水解贡献率77.94%),其降解速率常数(0.36 h^(-1))是单独Pyrite体系(0.12 h^(-1))的3倍.通过X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)、循环伏安法(CV)、原位表面衰减全反射红外光谱(in situ ATR-FTIR)和密度泛函理论(DFT)等研究发现,外加Fe^(3+)通过形成Fe(Ⅲ)—O键增加了Pyrite表面Lewis酸铁位点数,再通过其与C=O配位实现了对MC-RR酰胺键的水解.此外,外加的Fe^(3+)还能将Pyrite表面多价态硫物种(S_(n)^(2-),S_(2)^(2-))氧化为单质硫(S0),通过形成氢键—NH…S进一步促进MC-RR的水解.本研究不仅为蓝藻水华治理提供了一种常温矿物处理技术,还为自然水体中酰胺类有机污染物的自净机制提供了理论依据.

HZSM-5沸石中Lewis酸与Brnsted酸协同作用下的甲基环己烷开环反应(英文)

由于水蒸气处理HZSM-5生成的骨架外铝在分子筛中体现Lewis酸性,分子筛中骨架外铝物种的可移动性导致Lewis酸与分子筛本身的Br nsted酸在空间上具有临近性.当甲基环己烷分子在HZSM-5的笼中转化时,Lewis酸与Br nsted酸的协同作用加快了甲基环己烷分子的转化速率,且骨架外铝物种浓度越高,这种协同效应越明显.而产物的选择性只与催化剂的孔道结构有关,与水蒸气处理所导致的酸性质的变化无关.

The effect of FER zeolite acid sites in methanol-to-dimethyl-ether catalytic dehydration

In this paper, the effect of acidity of zeolites with FER framework was studied in the methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether reaction, by comparing catalysts with different Si/Al ratios(namely 8, 30 and60). The aim of this work was to investigate how the acid sites concentration, strength, distribution and typology(Br?nsted and Lewis) affect methanol conversion, DME selectivity and coke formation. It was found that the aluminium content affects slightly acid sites strength whilst a relevant effect on acid sites concentration and distribution(Br?nsted/Lewis) was observed as 24% of Lewis sites were found on Alrichest samples, whilst less than 10% of Lewis acid sites were observed on FER at higher Si/Al ratio. All the investigated catalyst samples showed a selectivity toward DME always greater than 0.9 and samples with the lowest Si/Al ratio exhibit the best performances in terms of methanol conversion, approaching the theoretical equilibrium value(around 0.85) at temperatures below 200 °C. Turnover-frequency analysis suggests that this result seems to be related not only to the higher amount of acid sites but also that the presence of Lewis acid sites may play a significant role in converting methanol. On the other hand, the presence of Lewis acid sites, combined with a high acidity, promote the formation of by-products(mainly methane) and coke deposition during the reaction. As final evidence, all the investigated catalysts exhibit very high resistance to deactivation by coke deposition, over 60 h continuous test, and a GC–MS analysis of the coke deposited on the catalyst surface reveals tetra-methyl benzene as main component.

Facile synthesis of metal-organic frameworks embedded in interconnected macroporous polymer as a dual acid-base bifunctional catalyst for efficient conversion of cellulose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural(5-HMF),as a key platform compound for the conversion of biomass to various biomass-derived chemicals and biofuels,has been attracted extensive attention.In this research,using Pickering high internal phase emulsions(Pickering HIPEs)as template and functional metal-organic frameworks(MOFs,UiO-66-SO;H and UiO-66-NH;)/Tween 85 as co-stabilizers to synthesis the dual acid-base bifunctional macroporous polymer catalyst by one-pot process,which has excellent catalytic activity in the cascade reaction of converting cellulose to 5-HMF.The effects of the emulsion parameters including the amount of surfactant(ranging from 0.5%to 2.0%(mass)),the internal phase volume fraction(ranging from 75%to 90%)and the acid/base Pickering particles mass ratio(ranging from 0:6 to 6:0)on the morphology and catalytic performance of solid catalyst were systematically researched.The results of catalytic experiments suggested that the connected large pore size of catalyst can effectively improve the cellulose conversion,and the synergistic effect of acid and base active sites can effectively improve the 5-HMF yield.The highest 5-HMF yield,about 40.5%,can be obtained by using polymer/MOFs composite as catalyst(Poly-P12,the pore size of(53.3±11.3)μm,the acid density of 1.99 mmol·g^(-1)and the base density of 1.13 mol·g^(-1))under the optimal reaction conditions(130℃,3 h).Herein,the polymer/MOFs composite with open-cell structure was prepared by the Pickering HIPEs templating method,which provided a favorable experimental basis and theoretical reference for achieving efficient production of high addedvalue product from abundant biomass.

Zr（Ⅳ） surface sites determine CH3OH formation rate on Cu/ZrO2/SiO2-CO2 hydrogenation catalysts

Cu/ZrO2/SiO2 are efficient catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH. In order to understand the role of ZrO2 in these mixed-oxides based catalysts, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been carried out on the Cu and Zr K-edge. Under reaction conditions, Cu remains metallic, while Zr is present in three types of coordination environment associated with 1) bulk ZrO2, 2) coordinatively saturated and 3) unsaturated Zr(Ⅳ) surface sites. The amount of coordinatively unsaturated Zr surface sites can be quantified by linear combination fit of reference X-Ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra and its amount correlates with CH3OH formation rates, thus indicating the importance of Zr(Ⅳ) Lewis acid surface sites in driving the selectivity toward CH3OH. This finding is consistent with the proposed mechanism, where CO2 is hydrogenated at the interface between the Cu nanoparticles that split H2 and Zr(Ⅳ) surface sites that stabilizes reaction intermediates.

Highly efficient catalyst for 1,1,2-trichloroethane dehydrochlorination via BN_(3) frustrated Lewis acid-base pairs

In this study,a novel non-metallic carbon-based catalyst co-doped with boron and nitrogen(B,N)was successfully synthesized.By precisely controlling the carbonization temperature of a binary mixed ionic liquid,we selectively modified the doping site structure,ultimately constructing a B,N co-doped frustrated Lewis acid-base pair catalyst.This catalyst exhibited remarkable catalytic activity,selectivity,and stability in the dehydrochlorination reaction of 1,1,2-trichloroethane(TCE).Detailed characterization and theoretical calculations revealed that the primary active center of this catalyst was the BN_(3)configuration.Compared to conventional graphitic N structures,the BN_(3)structure had a higher p-band center,ensuring superior adsorption and activation capabilities for TCE during the reaction.Within the BN_(3)site,three negatively charged nitrogen atoms acted as Lewis bases,while positively charged boron atoms acted as Lewis acids.This synergistic interaction facilitated the specific dissociation of chlorine and hydrogen atoms from TCE,significantly enhancing the 1,1-dichloroethene selectivity.Through this research,we not only explored the active site structure and catalytic mechanism of B,N co-doped catalysts in depth but also provided an efficient,selective,and stable catalyst for the dehydrochlorination of TCE,contributing significantly to the development of non-metallic catalysts.

Efficient nitrite-to-ammonia electroreduction over Zr-Ni frustrated Lewis acid-base pairs

Electrochemical NO_(2)~--to-NH_(3) conversion(NO_(2)RR) offers a green route to NH_(3) electrosynthesis, while developing efficient NO_(2)RR catalysis systems at high current densities remains a grand challenge. Herein, we report an efficient Zr-NiO catalyst with atomically dispersed Zr-dopants incorporated in NiO lattice, delivering the exceptional NO_(2)RR performance with industriallevel current density(>0.2 A cm^(-2)). In situ spectroscopic measurements and theoretical simulations reveal the construction of ZrNi frustrated Lewis acid-base pairs(FLPs) on Zr-Ni O, which can substantially increase the number of absorbed nitrite(NO_(2)~-),promote the activation and protonation of NO_(2)~- and concurrently hamper the H coverage, boosting the activity and selectivity of Zr-NiO towards the NO_(2)RR. Remarkably, Zr-NiO exhibits the exceptional performance in a flow cell with high Faradaic efficiency for NH_(3) of 94.0% and NH_(3)yield rate of 1,394.1 μmol h^(-1)cm^(-2) at an industrial-level current density of 228.2 m A cm^(-2),placing it among the best NO_(2)RR electrocatalysts for NH_(3) production.

An anionic In(Ⅲ)-based metal-organic framework with Lewis basic sites for the selective adsorption and separation of organic cationic dyes

In this paper, a new anionic metal-organic framework, [In(PBPTTBA)][(CH_3)_2 NH_2](BUT-29) has been synthesized through the reaction of tetratopic acid ligand with double Lewis pyridine sites, 4,4',4'',4'''-(4,4'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(pyridine-6,4,2-triyl)) tetrabenzoic acid(H_4 PBPTTBA) and In(NO_3)_2·5H_2O and fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction(SXRD), powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD),thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), infrared spectroscopy(IR), and elemental analysis(EA). BUT-29 can be used as an efficient adsorbent for the selective removal of organic cationic dyes in N,N0-dimethylformamide(DMF) solution. The adsorption capacities of BUT-29 toward methylene blue and crystal violet at 298 K can reach 1119 mg/g and 832 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, the adsorbed dyes can be released in the DMF solution of LiNO_3 gradually.

Recent advances in selective C–C bond coupling for ethanol upgrading over balanced Lewis acid-base catalysts

Ethanol is a considerable platform molecule in biomass conversion,which could be acquired in quantity through acetone-butanol-ethanol(ABE)fermentation.People have been working on the upgrading of ethanol to value added chemicals for decades.In the meantime,1-butanol and a series of value added products have been selectively generated through C–C bond coupling.In this mini-review,we focus on the recent advances in selective C–C bond formation over balanced Lewis acid-base catalysts such as modified metal oxide,mixed metal oxide,hydroxyapatite and zeolite confined transition metal oxide catalysts.Among them,Pd-MgAlO_x and Sr-based hydroxyapatite exhibit>70%1-butanol selectivity,while Zn——xZr_yO_z and Ta-Si BEA zeolite achieve>80%of isobutene and butadiene selectivity respectively.The mechanism and reaction pathway of C–C bond formation in each reaction system are described in detail.The correlation between C–C bond coupling and the acidity/basicity of the Lewis acid-base pairs from the surface of the catalysts are also discussed.

Atomically Dispersed Manganese Lewis Acid Sites Catalyze Electrohydrogenation of Nitrogen to Ammonia

Ambient electrochemical nitrogen fixation is a promising and environmentally benign route for producing sustainable ammonia,but has been limited by the poor performance of existing catalysts that promote the balanced chemisorption of N2 and subsequent electrochemical activation and hydrogenation.Herein,we describe the highly selective and efficient electrohydrogenation of nitrogen to ammonia using a hollow nanorod-based hierarchically graphitic carbon electrocatalyst with abundant atomically dispersed Mn sites.We discovered that the electron interactions strengthen the interfacial binding between nitrogen and active Mn Lewis acidic hotspots.The Lewis acid-base interactions promote the chemisorption and lock up nitrogen on the active sites and suppress proton adsorption.The proton-coupled electron transfer cleavage of the nitrogen triple bond through an associative mechanism was confirmed under lower overpotential,which delivered high ammonia yield of 67.5μg h−1 mgcat.−1 and Faradaic efficiency of 13.7% at−0.25 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode,along with∼100% selectivity and significantly enhanced electrochemical stability(about 88.8% current retention over 50 h potentiostatic test)under mild conditions.Our strategy is versatile to tailor the nitrogen fixation performance of single-atom catalysts with atomic accuracy.

Electrochemical behaviors of novel composite polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries

A novel composite polymer electrolyte was prepared by blending an appropriateamount of LiClO_4 and 10 percent (mass fraction) fumed SiO_2 with the block copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) synthesized by poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) 400 and CH_2C1_2 The ionicconductivity, electrochemical stability, interfacial characteristic and thermal behavior of thecomposite polymer electrolyte were studied by the measurements of AC impedance spectroscopy, linearsweep voltammetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The glass transitiontemperature acts as a function of salt concentration, which increases with the LiClO_4 content.Lewis acid-base model interaction mechanism was introduced to interpret the interactive relationbetween the filled fumed SiO_2 and the lithium salt in the composite polymer electrolyte. Over thesalt concentration range and the measured temperature, the maximum ionic conductivity of thecomposite polymer electrolyte (10^(-4.41) S/cm) appeared at EO/Li=25 (mole ratio) and 30 deg C, andthe beginning oxidative degradation potential versus Li beyond 5 V.

ZSM-5分子筛对典型涂装VOCs的吸附性能及机理研究

通过水热法成功合成了一系列宽硅铝比(50、100、150、300、500、800、1500、3000)的ZSM-5分子筛,旨在研究其对涂装行业典型挥发性有机物(volatile organic compounds,VOCs)的吸附规律。同时,结合分子筛表面的酸性位点,以解析硅铝比对分子筛吸附性能的影响机制。实验结果表明,丙酮的吸附能力主要受自身极性、支链结构和分子筛表面酸位点的影响。而乙酸丁酯、苯乙烯、对二甲苯、苯、甲苯的吸附性能会同时受到自身的分子量、分子直径、极性、分子结构和官能团的影响,分子量和分子直径大、极性强且具有支链结构的VOCs更容易被ZSM-5分子筛吸附。这6种VOCs中,ZSM-5分子筛对丙酮的吸附效果最好,硅铝比对其吸附性能的影响也最大。这是因为丙酮比其他VOCs更容易吸附在Lewis酸位点上,硅铝比的改变会影响酸位点的数量。低硅铝比的分子筛由于具有较多的酸位点,更适用于丙酮的吸附。

Deactivation mechanism of acetone to isobutene conversion over Y/Beta catalyst

The conversion of acetone derived from biomass to isobutene has attracted extensive attentions.In comparison with Brønsted acidic catalyst,Lewis acidic catalyst could exhibit a better catalytic performance with a higher isobutene selectivity.However,the catalyst stability remains a key problem for the long-running acetone conversion and the reasons for catalyst deactivation are poorly understood up to now.Herein,the deactivation mechanism of Lewis acidic Y/Beta catalyst during the acetone to isobutene conversion was investigated by various characterization techniques,including acetone-temperature-programmed surface reaction,gas chromatography-mass spectrometry,in situ ultraviolet-visible,and ^(13)C cross polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.A successive aldol condensation and cyclization were observed as the main side-reactions during the acetone conversion at Lewis acidic Y sites.In comparison with the low reaction temperature,a rapid formation and accumulation of the larger cyclic unsaturated aldehydes/ketones and aromatics could be observed,and which could strongly adsorb on the Lewis acidic sites,and thus cause the catalyst deactivation eventually.After a simple calcination,the coke deposits could be easily removed and the catalytic activity could be well restored.
