The results show that the addition of La to RuB amorphous alloy catalyst can evidently increase the activity and improve the thermal stability of RuB amorphous alloy to refrain its crystallization. The promoting effect of La on the activity of RuB amorphous alloy catalyst is because of the high dispersion of the active components.展开更多

In this work,cobalt oxide nanoparticles(NPs) supported on porous carbon(Co Ox@CN) were fabricated by one-pot method and the hybrids could efficiently and selectively hydrogenate phenol to cyclohexanol with a high yield of 98%. The high catalytic performance of Co Ox@CN was associate with the high surface area(340 m2/g) and uniformly dispersed NPs. Furthurmore, by detailed analysing the relationship between catalytic activity and catalysts composition, it clearly indicated that the Co3O4 in Co Ox@CN played an important role for the adsorption and activation of phenol and the in situ gernerated Co was responsible for hydrogen adsorption and dissociation. These findings provide a fundamental insight into the real active sites in hydrogenation of phenol using Co-based catalysts.展开更多

We approach this challenge by probing noble metalon-noble metal oxide nanoparticles(NPs) catalysts. Carbon-supported Pd/SnO2catalysts were synthesized by the chemical reduction method, and their catalytic activity was evaluated by the hydrogenation reaction of 2,4-difluoronitrobenzene(DFNB) to the corresponding 2,4-difluoroaniline(DFAN), showing a remarkable synergistic effect of the Pd and SnO2 NPs. The as-prepared Pd/SnO2/C catalysts were characterized using TEM, XRD, H2 TPD and XPS techniques. Modifications to the electronic structure of the Pd atoms through the use of SnO2 led to the suppression of the hydrogenolysis of the C–F bond and the acceleration of nitrosobenzene(DFNSB) conversion and consequently, resulted in the inhibition of the formation of reactive by-products and may be responsible for the enhancements observed in selectivity.展开更多

摘要The industrially important selective hydrogenation ofα,β-unsaturated aldehydes to allyl alcohol is still challenging to realize using heterogenous hydrogenation catalysts.Supported Cu catalysts have shown moderate selectivity,yet low activity for the reaction,due to the electronic structure of Cu.By anchoring atomically dispersed Pd atoms onto the exposed Cu surface of Cu@CeO2,we report in this work that hydrogen spillover activates the inert metal-oxide interfaces of Cu@CeO2into highly effective and selective catalytic sites for hydrogenation under mild reaction conditions.The as-prepared catalysts exhibit much higher catalytic activity in the selective hydrogenation of acrolein than Cu@CeO2.Comprehensive studies reveal that atomically dispersed Pd species are critical for the activation and homolytic splitting of H2.The activated H atoms easily spill to the Cu-O-Ce interfaces as Cu-Hδ-and interfacial Ce-O-Hδ+ species,making them the active sites for hydrogenation of polar C=O bonds.Moreover,the weak adsorption of allyl alcohol on the Pd and Cu-O-Ce interfacial sites prevents deep hydrogenation,leading to selective hydrogenation of severalα,β-unsaturated aldehydes.Overall,we demonstrate here a synergic effect between single atom alloy and the support for activation of an inert metaloxide interface into selective catalytic sites.

摘要A catalyst consisting of platinum nanoparticles on a ZIF-8 support(Pt@ZIF-8) was synthesized in a straightforward one-step procedure,by adding a nanostructured platinum sol during the formation of ZIF-8 at room temperature.Pt@ZIF-8 was highly porous and well crystallized.The Pt nanoparticles were well dispersed within the ZIF-8 support.In the hydrogenation of 1,4-butynediol,Pt@ZIF-8 exhibited high activity,excellent selectivity for 1,4-butenediol of greater than 94%,and reusability.The Pt@ZIF-8 catalyst did not require further additives.The favorable catalytic performance was attributed primarily to the modification of the ZIF-8 support by the platinum nanoparticles.
摘要The IB metal(Au,Ag and Cu)alloyed Pd single atom catalysts had been proved to be efficient in promoting the selectivity for hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene.As a base metal in the same group as Pd,the Ni-based catalysts are also active for hydrogenation reactions.Herein,the effects of the IB metals on the Ni/SiO2 catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene were systematically studied.Different from the Pd/SiO2 catalyst,the monometallic Ni/SiO2 catalyst is not active at low temperatures.The addition of the IB metals to the Ni/SiO2 catalysts can greatly enhance the activity.Besides,the catalytic activity of the AuNix/SiO2 and CuNix/SiO2 catalysts increase with the reduction temperature,while the AgNix/SiO2 catalysts are not sensitive to the pretreatment temperature.The origin of the effect of the different IB metals on the Ni-based catalysts for selective hydrogenation of acetylene is discussed based on the characterizations by XRD,TPR and microcalorimetric measurements.

摘要The selective hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone is an important process in the chemical industry.However,achieving high selectivity at high conversion rates is highly challenging,particularly under continuous reaction conditions.Here,we found that the presence of Na alkaline additives(NaX,X=CO3^2–,HCO^3–,or OH^–)on Pd/Al2O3 not only promoted the phenol conversion from 8.3%to>99%but also increased the cyclohexanone selectivity from 89%to>97%during the continuous hydrogenation of phenol on a fixed bed reactor.After 1200 h of continuous reaction,no activity or selectivity attenuation was observed and the turnover number was approximately 2.9×10^5.Density functional theory calculations,spectroscopic,and dynamics studies demonstrated that the addition of NaX greatly promoted phenol adsorption and hydrogen activation,thereby improving catalytic activity.Simultaneously,the formation of a“-C=O-Na-”intermediate inhibited the excessive hydrogenation and intermolecular coupling of cyclohexanone,leading to high selectivity.
摘要The effect of La on the performance of a supported RuB amorphous alloy catalyst for benzene selective hydrogenation was studied by means of activity and selectivity tests, such as HRTEM, SAED, XPS, and XRD. The results show that the addition of La to RuB amorphous alloy catalyst can evidently increase the activity and improve the thermal stability of RuB amorphous alloy to refrain its crystallization. The promoting effect of La on the activity of RuB amorphous alloy catalyst is because of the high dispersion of the active components.
摘要An efficient heterogeneous catalyst,Pd@MIL‐101(Cr)‐NH2,is prepared through a direct pathway of anionic exchange followed by hydrogen reduction with amino‐containing MIL‐101as the host matrix.The composite is thermally stable up to350°C and the Pd nanoparticles uniformly disperse on the matal organic framework(MOF)support,which are attributed to the presence of the amino groups in the frameworks of MIL‐101(Cr)‐NH2.The selective hydrogenation of biomass‐based furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is investigated by using this multifunctional catalyst Pd@MIL‐101(Cr)‐NH2in water media.A complete hydrogenation of furfural is achieved at a low temperature of40°C with the selectivity of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol close to100%.The amine‐functionalized MOF improves the hydrogen bonding interactions between the intermediate furfuryl alcohol and the support,which is conducive for the further hydrogenation of furfuryl alcohol to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol in good coordination with the metal sites.

摘要Cyclohexanol is an important intermediate in the synthesis of Nylon-6 and plasticizers. In this work,cobalt oxide nanoparticles(NPs) supported on porous carbon(Co Ox@CN) were fabricated by one-pot method and the hybrids could efficiently and selectively hydrogenate phenol to cyclohexanol with a high yield of 98%. The high catalytic performance of Co Ox@CN was associate with the high surface area(340 m2/g) and uniformly dispersed NPs. Furthurmore, by detailed analysing the relationship between catalytic activity and catalysts composition, it clearly indicated that the Co3O4 in Co Ox@CN played an important role for the adsorption and activation of phenol and the in situ gernerated Co was responsible for hydrogen adsorption and dissociation. These findings provide a fundamental insight into the real active sites in hydrogenation of phenol using Co-based catalysts.

摘要Although the selective hydrogenation ofα,β-unsaturated aldehyde to unsaturated alcohol(UOL)is an extremely important transformation,it is still a great challenge to achieve high selectivity to UOL due to thermodynamic favoring of the C=C hydrogenation over the C=O hydrogenation.Herein,we report that iridium nanoclusters(Ir NCs)confined within hollow MIL-101(Fe)expresses satisfied reaction activity(93.9%)and high selectivity(96.2%)for the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde(CAL)to cinnamyl alcohol(COL)under 1 bar H;atmosphere and room temperature.The unique hollow structure of MIL-101(Fe)benefits for the fast transport of reactant,ensuring the comparable reaction activity and better recyclability of Ir@MIL-101(Fe)than the counterparts which Ir NCs were on the surface of MIL-101(Fe).Furthermore,The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data indicates the electropositive Ir NCs,owing to the electron transfer from Ir to MIL-101(Fe),can interact with oxygen lone pairs,and Fourier transform infrared spectrum shows the Lewis acid sites in MIL-101(Fe)can strongly interact with C=O bond,which contributes to a high selectivity for COL.This work suggests the considerable potential of synergetic effect between hollow MOFs and metal nanoclusters for selective hydrogenation reactions.

摘要The catalytic activity of metal catalysts can be modulated by confinement within the channels of carbon nanotubes(CNTs).Here,we show that the product distribution of cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation can be modified by confinement of Ru nanoparticles in CNTs.A catalyst composed of Ru nanoparticles dispersed on the exterior walls of CNTs gave hydrocinnamaldehyde as product.In contrast,confinement of the Ru nanoparticles within CNT channels facilitated hydrogenation of C=O bonds and complete hydrogenation,and both cinnamyl alcohol and hydrocinnamyl alcohol formed in addition to hydrocinnamaldehyde.High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy,Raman spectroscopy,hydrogen temperature‐programmed reduction,and hydrogen temperature‐programmed desorption were used to investigate the characteristics of the catalysts.The results indicate that the different interactions between the confined Ru nanoparticles and the exterior and interior walls of the CNTs,as well as spatial restriction and enrichment within the narrow channels likely play important roles in modulation of the product distribution.

摘要Conversion of alkynes to alkenes by photocatalysis has inspired extensive interest but it is still challenging to obtain both high conversion and selectivity.Here we first demonstrate the photocatalytic conversion of phenylacetylene(PLE)to styrene(STE)with both high conversion and selectivity by using the titania(TiO2)supported platinum(Pt)as photocatalyst under 385 nm monochromatic light irradiation.It is demonstrated that the conversion rate of PLE is strongly dependent on the content of Pt cocatalyst loaded on the surface of TiO2.Based on our optimization,the conversion of PLE and the selectivity towards STE on the 1 wt%Pt/TiO2 photocatalyst can unexpectedly reach as high as 92.4%and 91.3%,respectively.The highly selective photocatalytic hydrogenation can well be extended to the conversion of other typical alkynes to alkenes,demonstrating the generality of selective hydrogenation of C≡C over the Pt/TiO2 photocatalyst.
摘要Copper based catalysts have high potential for the substituent of noble-metal based catalysts as their high selectivity and moderate activity for selective hydrogenation reaction;however,achieving further high catalytic stability is very difficult.In this work,the carbonization process of Cu-based organic frameworks was explored for the synthesis of highly-dispersed Cu supported by hierarchically porous carbon with high catalytic performance for selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene.The porous hierarchy of carbon support and the dispersion of copper nanoparticles can be precisely tuned by controlling the carbonization process.The resultant catalyst carbonized at 600°C exhibits a rather low reaction temperature at 75°C for 100%butadiene conversion with 100%selectivity to butenes,due to its reasonable porous hierarchy and highly-dispersed copper sites.More importantly,unprecedentedly stability of the corresponding Cu catalyst was firstly observed for selective 1,3-butadiene hydrogenation,with both 100%butadiene conversion and 100%butenes selectivity over 120 h of reaction at 75°C.This study verifies that a simply control the carbonization process of metal organic frameworks can be an effective way to obtain Cu-based catalysts with superior catalytic performance for selective hydrogenation reaction.

摘要Halogenated anilines have a wide range of applications in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemical substances, and thus it is of great importance to develop highly active and selective catalysts for the hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzenes. We approach this challenge by probing noble metalon-noble metal oxide nanoparticles(NPs) catalysts. Carbon-supported Pd/SnO2catalysts were synthesized by the chemical reduction method, and their catalytic activity was evaluated by the hydrogenation reaction of 2,4-difluoronitrobenzene(DFNB) to the corresponding 2,4-difluoroaniline(DFAN), showing a remarkable synergistic effect of the Pd and SnO2 NPs. The as-prepared Pd/SnO2/C catalysts were characterized using TEM, XRD, H2 TPD and XPS techniques. Modifications to the electronic structure of the Pd atoms through the use of SnO2 led to the suppression of the hydrogenolysis of the C–F bond and the acceleration of nitrosobenzene(DFNSB) conversion and consequently, resulted in the inhibition of the formation of reactive by-products and may be responsible for the enhancements observed in selectivity.
