Herein, we demonstrates that h-BN is a promising support of Pt-based catalysts for PDH. The Pt catalysts supported on h-BN were prepared by an impregnation method using Pt(NH_(3))_(4)(NO_(3))_(2) as metal precursors. It has been found that the Pt/BN catalyst undergoing calcination and reduction is highly stable in both PDH reaction and coke-burning regeneration, together with low coke deposition and outstanding propylene selectivity(99%). Detailed characterizations reveal that the high coke resistance and high propylene selectivity of the Pt/BN catalyst are derived not only from the absence of acidity on BN support, but also from the calcination-induced and reduction-adjusted strong metal-support interaction(SMSI) between Pt and BN, which causes the partial encapsulation of Pt particles by BO_(x) overlayers. The BO_(x) overlayers can block the low-coordinated Pt sites and constrain Pt particles into smaller ensembles, suppressing side reactions such as cracking and deep dehydrogenation. Moreover, the BO_(x) overlayers can effectively inhibit Pt sintering by the spatial isolation of Pt during periodic reaction-regeneration cycles. In this work, the catalyst support for PDH is expanded to nonoxide BN, and the understanding of SMSI between Pt and BN will provide rational design strategy for BN-based catalysts.展开更多

Due to the scarcity of platinum and the toxicity of chromium, alternative PDH catalysts are being pursued. Herein, we report the construction of Zn-containing zeolite catalysts,namely Zn@S-1, for PDH reaction. Well-isolated zinc cations are successfully trapped and stabilized by the Si-OH groups in S-1 zeolites via in-situ hydrothermal synthesis. The as-prepared Zn@S-1 catalysts exhibit good dehydrogenation activity, high propylene selectivity, and regeneration capability in PDH reaction under employed conditions. The in-situ partial reduction of zinc species is observed and the partially reduced zinc cations are definitely identified as the active sites for PDH reaction.展开更多

Impurities in alumina that are unfriendly to catalytic performance are inevitably present during the production processes. Facing this problem, we here report that the use of sulfur-containing alumina as the support can generate active alumina-supported platinum catalyst, which exhibits superior propylene selectivity and anti-coking ability during propane dehydrogenation. It demonstrated that the sulfur impurity in alumina is not entirely detrimental. During the reduction process, the formation of gas-phase sulfur species increased the electrons and poisoned unsaturated sites of platinum particles. The sulfur impurity in alumina can be removed through a hydrogen reduction process, and the degree of desulfurization is correlated with the operating temperature. This study demonstrated that the rational use of impurity will contribute to the design of a catalyst with high reactivity for potential applications.展开更多

By means of density functional theory(DFT) calculations, the present work demonstrates that Fe atoms may atomically disperse on MoS_(2)(Fe_(1)/MoS_(2)) and serve as a promising single-atom catalyst(SAC) for PDH. The catalytic activity of Fe_(1)/MoS_(2)is attributed to the highly exposed d orbitals of single Fe atoms, while the propylene selectivity is originated from the kinetic inhibition of propylene dehydrogenation resulting from fast propenyl hydrogenation. The unique catalytic selectivity of Fe_(1)/MoS_(2)may inspire further investigations of on-purpose dehydrogenations of propane on SACs.展开更多

Recently, it has been discovered that boron nitride (BN) is a promising catalyst that affords superior selectivity towards propylene in oxidative dehydrogenation of propane. Summarizing the progress and unravelling the reaction mechanism of BN in oxidative dehydrogenation of propane are of great significance for the rational design of efficient catalysts in the future. Herein, in this review, the underlying reaction mechanisms of oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over BN are extracted;the developed BN catalysts are classified into pristine BN, functionalized BN, supported BN and others, and the applications of each category of BN catalysts in oxidative dehydrogenation of propane are summarized;the challenges and opportunities on oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over BN are pointed out, aiming to inspire more studies and advance this research field.展开更多

文摘Industrial propane dehydrogenation(PDH)catalysts generally suffer from low catalytic stability due to the coke formation onto the catalyst surface to cover the active sites.The exploitation of an efficient catalyst with both high catalytic selectivity and long-term stability toward PDH is of great importance but challenging to make.Herein CrOx supported on high-silica HZSM-5 with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 260(Cr/Z-5(260)is synthesized by a simple wet impregnation method,which exhibits high catalytic activity,good selectivity and excellent stability for PDH.At a weight hourly space velocity(WHSV)of 0.59 h-1,a propylene formation rate of 4.1 mmol g-1cath-1(~32.6% propane conversion and ~94.2% propylene selectivity)can be maintained over the 5%Cr/Z-5(260)catalyst after 50 h time on stream,which is much better than commercial Cr/Al2O3(Catofin process,catalyst life is several hours)at the same reaction conditions.With increasing the WHSV to 5.9 h-1,a high propylene formation rate of 27.9 mmol gcat-1h-1can be obtained over the 5%Cr/Z-5(260)catalyst after 50 h time on stream,demonstrating a very promising PDH catalyst.Characterization results and Na+doping experiments reveal that the Cr species combined with Br?nsted acid sites in Cr/HZSM-5 catalysts are responsible for the high catalytic performance.In particular,the Br?nsted acid sites in HZSM-5 zeolite could increase the propane adsorption and enhance the C–H bond activation.Furthermore,the high surface area and well-defined pores of HZSM-5 zeolite can provide a special environment for the dispersion and stabilization of Cr species,thus guaranteeing high catalytic activity and stability.

文摘Alumina materials are widely applied either as a catalyst or support in various industrial catalytic processes. Impurities in alumina that are unfriendly to catalytic performance are inevitably present during the production processes. Facing this problem, we here report that the use of sulfur-containing alumina as the support can generate active alumina-supported platinum catalyst, which exhibits superior propylene selectivity and anti-coking ability during propane dehydrogenation. It demonstrated that the sulfur impurity in alumina is not entirely detrimental. During the reduction process, the formation of gas-phase sulfur species increased the electrons and poisoned unsaturated sites of platinum particles. The sulfur impurity in alumina can be removed through a hydrogen reduction process, and the degree of desulfurization is correlated with the operating temperature. This study demonstrated that the rational use of impurity will contribute to the design of a catalyst with high reactivity for potential applications.

文摘Pt-based catalysts are widely used in propane dehydrogenation reaction for the production of propylene.Suppressing irreversible deactivation caused by the sintering of Pt particles under harsh conditions and regeneration process is a significant challenge in this catalyst.Herein,a series of highly ordered mesoporous Al_(2)O_(3) supports with different levels of Al3+penta sites,are fabricated and used as the support to disperse Pt-Sn_(2) clusters.Characterizations of Pt-Sn_(2)/meso-Al_(2)O_(3) with XRD,NMR,CO-IR,STEM,TG,and Raman techniques along with propane dehydrogenation-regeneration cycles test reveal the structure-stability-re generability relationship.The coordinatively unsaturated pentacoordinate Al_(Al3+penta)^(3+)can strongly anchor Pt atoms via a formation of Al-O-Pt bond,and thus stabilize the Pt-based particles at the surface of Al_(2)O_(3).The stability and regenerability of Pt-Sn2/meso-Al_(2)O_(3) are strongly dependent on the content of Al3+penta sites in the Al_(2)O_(3) structure,and a high level of Al3+penta sites can effectively prevent the agglomeration of Pt-Sn2 clusters into large Pt nanoparticles in the consecutive dehydrogenation-regeneration cycles.The Pt-Sn2/meso-Al_(2)O_(3)-600 with the highest level of Al_(penta)^(3+) (50.8%)delivers the best performance in propane dehydrogenation,which exhibits propane conversion of 40%and propylene selectivity above 98%at 570℃ with 10 vol%C_(3)H_(8) and 10 vol% H_(2) feed.A slow deactivation in this catalyst is ascribed to the formation of coke,and the catalytic performance can be fully restored in the consecutive dehydrogenation-regeneration cycles via a simple calcination treatment.

文摘A series of PtSn/hierarchical ZSM-5 catalysts were developed for propane dehydrogenation,in which the PtSn bimetallic particles are confined in the mesopores of hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite.The synthesis of PtSn/hierarchical ZSM-5 catalysts was achieved via the loading of Pt and Sn species onto the hierarchical ZSM-5 catalysts that are obtained through a desilication of conventional ZSM-5.The PtSn/hierarchical ZSM-5 catalysts were fully characterized by XRD,N_(2) adsorption,STEM,XPS,and CO-IR techniques,which reveals that highly dispersed PtSn bimetallic nanoparticles are enclosed into mesopores of hierarchical ZSM-5.The catalytic performance of PtSn/hierarchical ZSM-5 is greatly affected by the concentrations of alkali solution in the desilication process and Sn/Pt ratios in PtSn bimetallic particles.The PtSn1.00/ZSM-5(0.8)catalyst shows the highest efficiency in propane dehydrogenation,which gives an initial conversion of 46%and selectivity of 98%at 570℃.The high efficiency in these PtSn/hierarchical ZSM-5 catalysts for propane dehydrogenation is mainly ascribed to the confinement of PtSn particles in the mesopores of hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite.

文摘Propane dehydrogenation(PDH)is one of the most effective technologies to produce propene.Non-noble zinc-based catalysts have paid increasing attention because of low cost and nontoxic,compared with industrial Pt and Cr-based catalysts.However,they often suffer from limited catalytic activity and poor stability.Here,we introduced moderate Ni into ZnO supported Silicalite-1 zeolite to increase catalytic activity and stability simultaneously.Zn^(2+) was the definite active site and NiZn alloy facilitated the sluggish H recombination into H_(2)via reverse spillover.Furthermore,the introduction of Ni increased Lewis acid strength caused by electron transfer from ZnO to NiZn alloy,contributing to improved stability.For resulted 0.5 NiZn/S-1,propene formation rate was 0.18 mol C_(3)H_(6)·(g Zn)^(-1)·h^(-1) at 550℃,which was above 1.5 times higher than that over Zn/S-1 without Ni.Under stability test,the deactivation of0.5 NiZn/S-1 was 0.019 h^(-1),which was only 1/10 of that over Zn/S-1.

文摘γ-Al2O3 was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis usingρ-Al2O3 and urea as raw materials.In this work,the eff ects of the molar ratio of CO(NH2)2/Al and reaction temperature were investigated,and a Pt–Sn–K/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was prepared.The ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide(AACH),γ-Al2O3,and Pt–Sn–K/γ-Al2O3 were characterized by X-ray diff raction,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,N2 adsorption–desorption,thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis,and NH3 temperature-programmed desorption techniques.The reactivity of Pt–Sn–K/γ-Al2O3 for propane dehydrogenation was tested in a micro-fixed-bed reactor.The results show thatγ-Al2O3 with a specific surface area of 358.1 m 2/g and pore volume of 0.96 cm 3/g was obtained when the molar ratio of CO(NH2)2/Al was 3:1 and the reaction temperature was 140℃.The alumina obtained by calcination of AACH has a higher specific surface area and larger pore volume than the industrial pseudo-boehmite does.The catalyst prepared from AACH as precursor showed high selectivity and conversion,which can reach 96.1%and 37.6%,respectively,for propane dehydrogenation.

文摘A redox process combining propane dehydrogenation(PDH)with selective hydrogen combustion(SHC)is proposed,modeled,simulated,and optimized.In this process,PDH and SHC catalysts are physically mixed in a fixed-bed reactor,so that the two reactions proceed simultaneously.The redox process can be up to 177.0%higher in propylene yield than the conventional process where only PDH catalysts are packed in the reactor.The reason is twofold:firstly,SHC reaction consumes hydrogen and then shifts PDH reaction equilibrium towards propylene;secondly,SHC reaction provides much heat to drive the highly endothermic PDH reaction.Considering propylene yield,operating time,and other factors,the preferable operating conditions for the redox process are a feed temperature of 973 K,a feed pressure of 0.1 MPa,and a mole ratio of H_(2) to C_(3)H_(8) of 0.15,and the optimal mass fraction of PDH catalyst is 0.5.This work should provide some useful guidance for the development of redox processes for propane dehydrogenation.

文摘Dehydrogenation of propane(PDH)technology is one of the most promising on-purpose technologies to solve supply-demand unbalance of propylene.The industrial catalysts for PDH,such as Pt-and Cr-based catalysts,still have their own limitation in expensive price and security issues.Thus,a deep understanding into the structure-performance relationship of the catalysts during PDH reaction is necessary to achieve innovation in advanced high-efficient catalysts.In this review,we focused on discussion of structure-performance relationship of catalysts in PDH.Based on analysis of reaction mechanism and nature of active sites,we detailed interaction mechanism between structure of active sites and catalytic performance in metal catalysts and oxide catalysts.The relationship between coke deposition,co-feeding gas,catalytic activity and nanostructure of the catalysts are also highlighted.With these discussions on the relationship between structure and performances,we try to provide the insights into microstructure of active sites in PDH and the rational guidance for future design and development of PDH catalysts.

文摘The on-purpose direct propane dehydrogenation(PDH) has received extensive attention to meet the everincreasing demand of propylene.In this work,by means of density functional theory(DFT) calculations,we systematically studied the intrinsic coordinating effect of Fe single-atom catalysts in PDH.Interestingly,the N and P dual-coordinated single Fe(Fe-N_(3)P-C) significantly outperform the Fe-N_(4-)C site in catalysis and exhibit desired activity and selectivity at industrial PDH temperatures.The mechanistic origin of different performance on Fe-N_(3)P-C and Fe-N_(4-)C has been ascribed to the geometric effect.To be specific,the in-plane configuration of Fe-N_(4) site exhibits low H affinity,which results in poor activity in C-H bond activations.By contrast,the out-of-plane structure of Fe-N_(3)P-C site exhibits moderate H affinity,which not only promote the C-H bond scission but also offer a platform for obtaining appropriate H diffusion rate which ensures the high selectivity of propylene and the regeneration of catalysts.This work demonstrates promising applications of dual-coordinated single-atom catalysts for highly selective propane dehydrogenation.

文摘Propane dehydrogenation(PDH)has become a globe-welcoming technology to meet the massive demand for propylene,but the most commonly used Pt-based catalysts suffer from quick sintering,poor selectivity for propylene,and unsatisfied Pt utilization.Herein,a series of Silicalite-1(S-1)zeolite-encaged ultrasmall Pt-Zn clusters with a trace amount of Pt[40—180 ppm(parts per million)]were developed by using a one-pot ligand-protected direct H_(2) reduction method.Interestingly,the extremely low amount of Pt can significantly promote the activity of zeolite-encaged Zn catalysts in PDH reactions.Thanks to the high Pt dispersion,the synergy between Pt and Zn species,and the confinement effect of zeolites,the optimized PtZn@S-1 catalyst with 180 ppm Pt and 1.88%(mass fraction)Zn,exhibited an extraordinarily high propane conversion(33.9%)and propylene selectivity(99.5%)at 550℃with a weight hourly space velocity(WHSV)of 8 h^(-1),affording an extremely high propylene formation rate of 340.7 mol_(C_(3)H_(6))·g_(Pt^(-1))·h^(-1).This work provides a reference for the preparation of zeolite-encaged metal catalysts with high activity and noble metal utilization in PDH reactions.

文摘Similar to Sn,Pb located at the same group(IVA)in the periodic table of elements,can also catalyze propane dehydrogenation to propene,while a fast deactivation can be observed.To enhance the stability,the traditional carrier Al_(2)O_(3)with a small amount,was introduced into Pb/SiO_(2)catalyst in this study.It has been proved that Al_(2)O_(3)can inhibit the reduction of PbO,and weaken the agglomeration and loss of Pb species due to its enhanced interaction with Pb species.As a result,3Al15Pb/SiO_(2)catalyst exhibits a much higher stability up to more than 150 h.In addition,a simple schematic diagram of the change of surface species on the catalyst surface after Al_(2)O_(3)addition was also proposed.

文摘On-purpose propane dehydrogenation(PDH) has emerged as a profitable alternative to the traditional cracking of oil products for propylene production. By means of density functional theory(DFT) calculations, the present work demonstrates that Fe atoms may atomically disperse on MoS_(2)(Fe_(1)/MoS_(2)) and serve as a promising single-atom catalyst(SAC) for PDH. The catalytic activity of Fe_(1)/MoS_(2)is attributed to the highly exposed d orbitals of single Fe atoms, while the propylene selectivity is originated from the kinetic inhibition of propylene dehydrogenation resulting from fast propenyl hydrogenation. The unique catalytic selectivity of Fe_(1)/MoS_(2)may inspire further investigations of on-purpose dehydrogenations of propane on SACs.

文摘Metal alloys have been widely applied for heterogeneous catalysis,especially alkane dehydrogenation.However,the catalysts always suffer from sintering and coke deposition due to the rigorous reaction conditions.Herein,we described an original approach to prepare a catalyst where highly dispersed Pt clusters alloying with copper were encapsulated in silicalite-1(S-1)zeolite for propane dehydrogenation(PDH).The introduction of Cu species significantly enhances the catalytic activity and prolongs the lifetime of the catalyst.0.1Pt0.4CuK@S-1 exhibits a propane conversion of 24.8%with 98.2%selectivity of propene,and the specific activity of propylene formation is up to 32 mol·gPt^(−1)·h^(−1)at 500℃.No obvious deactivation is observed even after 73 h on stream,affording an extremely low deactivation constant of 0.00032 h^(−1).The excellent activity and stability are ascribed to the confinement of zeolites and the stabilization of Cu species for Pt clusters.

文摘Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane is an attractive route for the synthesis of propylene due to its favorable thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics, however, it is challenging to realize high selectivity towards propylene. Recently, it has been discovered that boron nitride (BN) is a promising catalyst that affords superior selectivity towards propylene in oxidative dehydrogenation of propane. Summarizing the progress and unravelling the reaction mechanism of BN in oxidative dehydrogenation of propane are of great significance for the rational design of efficient catalysts in the future. Herein, in this review, the underlying reaction mechanisms of oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over BN are extracted;the developed BN catalysts are classified into pristine BN, functionalized BN, supported BN and others, and the applications of each category of BN catalysts in oxidative dehydrogenation of propane are summarized;the challenges and opportunities on oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over BN are pointed out, aiming to inspire more studies and advance this research field.

文摘Defective bulk catalysts based on TiO_(2) have superior catalytic performance for propane dehydrogenation(PDH).The oxygen vacancy concentration and the number of active sites on the catalyst surface can be effectively tuned by doping metal in TiO_(2).Herein,yttrium(Y)-doped titanium dioxide(nY/TiO_(x))catalysts were in-situ synthesized via the coprecipitation method to study the effect of rare earth metal Y doping on the structure of TiO_(2) and the catalytic performance for PDH.Experimental results demonstrate that Ydoped TiO_(2) exhibits higher catalytic activity,propylene selectivity and stability than bare TiO_(2).Full characterizations with X-ray diffraction(XRD),high-resolution transmission electron microscope(HRTEM),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),infrared spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption(Py-IR),temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia(NH_(3)-TPD),H_(2) temperature-programmed reduction(H_2-TPR),and Raman techniques on these catalysts reveal that Y^(3+)can enter TiO_(2) lattice,and the lattice stability of the catalyst can be enhanced by replacing Ti^(4+)to form Y-O-Ti structure.Meanwhile,the introduction of an appropriate amount of Y can obviously promote the PDH reaction by adjusting the acidity of the catalyst,improving the release capacity of TiO_(2) lattice oxygen and increasing the formation of active centers.Nevertheless,excessive Y doping will lead to pore clogging,and the exposure of active sites will be reduced,resulting in the degradation of catalytic performance.
