However, the appearance of the strong metal–support interaction leads to covering of the Ru species by Ce suboxides, which is detrimental to the ammonia synthesis reaction that requires metallic species as active sites. In the present work, the interaction between Ru and ceria in the Ru/CeO_(2) catalyst was induced by NaBH_(4) treatment. NaBH_(4) treatment enhanced the fraction of metallic Ru, proportion of Ce^(3+), content of exposed Ru species, and amount of surface oxygen species. As a result, a larger amount of hydrogen species would desorb by the H_(2)-formation pathway and the strength of hydrogen adsorption would be weaker, weakening the inhibition effect of the hydrogen species on ammonia synthesis. In addition, the strong electronic metal–support interaction aids in nitrogen dissociation. Consequently, Ru/CeO_(2) with NaBH_(4) treatment showed higher ammonia synthesis rates than that with only hydrogen reduction.展开更多

The main components in TWCs are precious metals such as palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), and rhodium (Rh) as the active component, and inorganic oxides such as γ-alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), ceria (CeO 2 ), zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and ceria-zirconia (CeO 2-ZrO 2 ) are used as the support. Interaction of precious metals and support plays an important role in the thermal stability and catalytic performance of TWCs. The support can improve the dispersion of precious metals and suppress the sintering of precious metals at high temperature. In the same, precious metals can also enhance the redox performance and oxygen storage capacity of support. This paper reviews the reaction phenomenon and mechanism of precious metals (Pt, Pd, Rh) and supports such as Al 2 O 3 , CeO 2-based composite oxides.展开更多

Noble‐metalnanoparticles (NPs) of size 2.1?2.8 nm were uniformly dispersed on the meso‐Mn2O3 surfaces. AlloyingPd with Pt enhanced the catalytic activity in methane combustion; 1.41(Pd5.1Pt)/meso‐Mn2O3gave the best performance; T10%, T50%, and T90% (the temperatures required for achieving methaneconversions of 10%, 50%, and 90%) were 265, 345, and 425 °C, respectively, at a space velocity of20000 mL/(g?h). The effects of SO2, CO2, H2O, and NO on methane combustion over1.41(Pd5.1Pt)/meso‐Mn2O3 were also examined. We conclude that the good catalytic performance of1.41(Pd5.1Pt)/meso‐Mn2O3 is associated with its high‐quality porous structure, high adsorbed oxygen species concentration, good low‐temperature reducibility, and strong interactions between Pd‐Pt alloy NPs and the meso‐Mn2O3 support.展开更多

文摘Modulating electronic structure of metal nanoparticles via metal–support interaction has attracted intense interest in the field of catalytic science.However,the roles of supporting substrates in regulating catalytic properties of nanozymes remain elusive.In this study,we find that the use of graphdiyne oxide(GDYO)as the substrate for self-terminating growth of Ru nanoparticles(Ru@GDYO)endows the peroxidase-like activity of Ru nanoparticles with intrinsic physiological pH preference and natural horseradish peroxidase(HRP)comparable performance.Ru nanoparticles electrolessly deposited onto GDYO possess a partially oxidized electronic structure owing to limited charge transfer between Ru and GDYO,contributing to the intrinsic physiological pH preference of the peroxidase-mimicking nanozyme.More importantly,the substrate GDYO plays an influential factor in enhancing catalytic activity,that is,the activity of Ru@GDYO is much higher than that of Ru nanoparticles deposited on other carbon substrates including graphene oxides and graphdiyne.To demonstrate the application of Ru@GDYO nanozyme in neutral solutions,we employ Ru@GDYO with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD+)-dependent dehydrogenases in physiological conditions to realize a sustainable cascade reaction by means of forming continuous NAD^(+)/dihydronicotiamide adenine dinucleotide(NADH)recycling.Our finding represents a promising perspective on designing high-performance peroxidase-mimicking nanozymes with broader applicability,raising fundamental understanding of structure–activity relationship,and investigating new applications of nanozymes in biological systems.

文摘Developing highly active and selective catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes,an environmentally benign process to produce industrially important aniline intermediates,is highly desirable but very challenging.Pd catalysts are generally recognized as active but nonselective catalysts for this important reaction.Here,we report an effective strategy to greatly improve the selectivity of Pd catalysts based on the reactive metal–support interaction.

文摘Being a typical state of the art heterogeneous catalyst,supported noble metal catalyst often demonstrates enhanced catalytic properties.However,a facile synthetic method for realizing large-scale and low-cost supported noble metal catalyst is strictly indispensable.To this end,by making use of the strong metal-support interaction(SMSI)and mechanochemical reaction,we introduce an efficient synthetic route to obtain ultrafine Pt and Ir nanoclusters immobilized on diverse substrates by wet chemical milling.We further demonstrate the scaling-up effect of our approach by large-scale ball-milling production of Pt nanoclusters immobilized on TiO_(2)substrate.The synthesized Pt/Ir@Co_(3)O_(4)catalysts exhibit superior oxygen evolution reaction(OER)performance with only 230 and 290 mV overpotential to achieve current density of 10 and 100 mA·cm^(-2),beating the catalytic performance of Co_(3)O_(4)supported Pt or Ir clusters and commercial Ir/C.It is envisioned that the present work strategically directs facile ways for fabricating supported noble metal heterogeneous catalysts.
