文摘Catalytic CO_(2)-to-methanol conversion presents a synergistic approach for concurrent greenhouse gas abatement and sustainable energy carrier synthesis.Single-atom catalysts(SACs)with maximized atomic utilization,tailored electronic configurations and unique metal-support interactions,exhibit superior performance in CO_(2) activation and methanol synthesis.This review systematically compares reaction mechanisms and pathways across thermal,photocatalytic and electrocatalytic systems,emphasizing structure-activity relationships governed by active sites,coordination microenvironments and support functionalities.Through case studies of representative SACs,we elucidate how metal-support synergies dictate intermediate binding energetics and methanol selectivity.A critical analysis of reaction parameters(e.g.,temperature,pressure)reveals condition-dependent catalytic behaviors in thermal system,with fewer studies in photo/electrocatalytic systems identified as key knowledge gaps.While thermal catalysis achieves industrially viable methanol yields,the scalability is constrained by energy-intensive operation and catalyst sintering.Conversely,photo/electrocatalytic routes offer renewable energy integration but suffer from inefficient charge dynamics and mass transport limitations.To address the challenges,we propose strategic research priorities on precise design of active sites,synergy of multiple technological pathways,development of intelligent catalytic systems and diverse CO_(2) feedstock compatibility.These insights establish a framework for developing next-generation SACs,offering both theoretical foundations and technological blueprints for developing carbon-negative catalytic technologies.

文摘Electrochemical CO_(2) reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR) into valuable formate provides a strategy for carbon neutrality.Bismuth(Bi) catalysts,attributed to their appropriate energy barrier of OCHO*intermediate,have demonstrated substantial potential for the advancement of electrocatalytic CO_(2) reduction to formate.However,due to the weak bonding of protons(H^(*)) of Bi,the available protonate of CO_(2) on Bi is insufficient,which limits the formation of OCHO^(*).Prediction by theoretical calculation,chlorine doping can effectively promote the dissociation of H_(2)O and thus achieve effective proton supply.We prepare chlorine-doped Bi(Cl-Bi) via an electrochemical conversion strategy for electroreduction of CO_(2) .An obvious improvement of faradaic efficiency(FE) of formate(96.7% at-0.95 V vs.RHE) can be achieved on Cl-Bi,higher than that of Bi(89.4%).Meanwhile,Cl-Bi has the highest formate production rate of 275 μmol h^(-1)cm^(-2)at-0.95 V vs.RHE,which is 1.2 times higher than that of Bi(224 μmol h^(-1)cm^(-2)).In situ characterizations and kinetic analysis reveal that chlorine doping promotes the activation of H_(2)O and supply sufficient protons to promote the protonation of CO_(2) to OCHO^(*),which is consistent with theoretical calculation.The study presents an effective strategy for rational design of highly efficient electrocatalysts to promote green chemical production.

文摘Precisely identifying the atomic structure of reducible oxide-supported metal clusters remains challenging yet critical for understanding their catalytic behavior.Herein,we report the preparation of CeO_(2)-supported bi-layer Pt clusters(Pt_(n)/CeO_(2))via a deposition-reduction strategy,with Pt cluster sizes ranging from 0.8 to 1.2 nm(9–30 atoms).Through combined aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope(HAADF-STEM)imaging,quantitative STEM simulations,and X-ray fine structure(XAFS)analysis,we reveal the bi-layer configuration featuring coordinatively unsaturated Pt^(0) sites on the top layer while maintaining Pt-CeO_(2)interfacial bonding at the bottom.When applied to anti-Markovnikov alkene hydrosilylation,Pt_(n)/CeO_(2)achieves 99.9%silane conversion with a mass-specific activity 2.0×and 8.8×higher than single-atom site(Pt_(1)/CeO_(2))and nanoparticle(Pt_(NP)/CeO_(2))counterparts,respectively.The bi-layer structure endows exceptional cycling stability and anti-leaching properties.This work establishes a multi-scale characterization paradigm to resolve atomic-precision structures of supported clusters,opening avenues for designing robust catalysts with tailored metal-oxide interfaces.

文摘The conversion of CO_(2) into high value added chemicals via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis(FTS)reaction has attracted significant attention.The surface oxygenation environment is a significant factor influencing the performance of the catalyst.In this work,spin-polarized density-functional theory calculations have been used to investigate the adsorption and reactions of CO_(2) and H to generate CH4 and CH3OH on Fe_(5)C_(2)(100)surfaces with varying OH∗coverage.On the pure Fe_(5)C_(2)(100)surface,surface C^(∗) preferentially reacts with hydrogen to form CH4,exposing C^(∗) vacancy.CO_(2) favors adsorbing on the C^(∗) vacancy to further dissociating and activating.The co-adsorption of OH∗promotes the C^(∗) cycle process by facilitating the hydrogenation of C^(∗).The Fe_(5)C_(2) surface with an oxide interface is favorable for reducing FexOy,thereby maintaining the dynamic stability of the surface.Therefore,surface oxidation is inevitably involved in the entire C^(∗) cycle of the FTS reaction and regulates the relative content of iron oxides and iron carbides.Our work can contribute to the rational modulation of the surface C^(∗) cycle,thereby enhancing catalyst performance.

文摘The pursuit of alternative fuel generation technologies has gained momentum due to the diminishing reserves of fossil fuels and global warming from increased CO_(2)emission.Among the proposed methods,the hydrogenation of CO_(2)to produce marketable carbon-based products like methanol and ethanol is a practical approach that offers great potential to reduce CO_(2)emissions.Although significant volumes of methanol are currently produced from CO_(2),developing highly efficient and stable catalysts is crucial for further enhancing conversion and selectivity,thereby reducing process costs.An in-depth examination of the differences and similarities in the reaction pathways for methanol and ethanol production highlights the key factors that drive C-C coupling.Identifying these factors guides us toward developing more effective catalysts for ethanol synthesis.In this paper,we explore how different catalysts,through the production of various intermediates,can initiate the synthesis of methanol or ethanol.The catalytic mechanisms proposed by spectroscopic techniques and theoretical calculations,including operando X-ray methods,FTIR analysis,and DFT calculations,are summarized and presented.The following discussion explores the structural properties and composition of catalysts that influence C-C coupling and optimize the conversion rate of CO_(2)into ethanol.Lastly,the review examines recent catalysts employed for selective methanol and ethanol production,focusing on single-atom catalysts.

文摘Electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))to carbon monoxide(CO)is an effective strategy to achieve carbon neutrality.High selective and low-cost catalysts for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO_(2)have received increasing attention.In contrast to the conventional tube furnace method,the high-temperature shock(HTS)method enables ultra-fast thermal processing,superior atomic efficiency,and a streamlined synthesis protocol,offering a simplified method for the preparation of high-performance single-atom catalysts(SACs).The reports have shown that nickel-based SACs can be synthesized quickly and conveniently using the HTS method,making their application in CO_(2)reduction reactions(CO_(2)RR)a viable and promising avenue for further exploration.In this study,the effect of heating temperature,metal loading and different nitrogen(N)sources on the catalyst morphology,coordination environment and electrocatalytic performance were investigated.Under optimal conditions,0.05Ni-DCD-C-1050 showed excellent performance in reducing CO_(2)to CO,with CO selectivity close to 100%(−0.7 to−1.0 V vs RHE)and current density as high as 130 mA/cm^(2)(−1.1 V vs RHE)in a flow cell under alkaline environment.

文摘Owing to outstanding hydrophilicity and ionic interaction,layered double hydroxides(LDHs)have emerged as a promising carrier for high performance catalysts.However,the synthesis of new specialized catalytic LDHs for degradation of antibiotics still faces some challenges.In this study,a CoFe_(2)O_(4)/MgAl-LDH composite catalyst was synthesized using a hydrothermal coprecipitation method.Comprehensive characterization reveals that the surface of MgAl-LDH is covered with nanometer CoFe_(2)O_(4) particles.The specific surface area of CoFe_(2)O_(4)/MgAl-LDH is 82.84 m^(2)·g^(-)1,which is 2.34 times that of CoFe_(2)O_(4).CoFe_(2)O_(4)/MgAl-LDH has a saturation magnetic strength of 22.24 A·m^(2)·kg^(-1) facilitating efficient solid-liquid separation.The composite catalyst was employed to activate peroxymonosulfate(PMS)for the efficient degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride(TCH).It is found that the catalytic performance of CoFe_(2)O_(4)/MgAl-LDH significantly exceeds that of CoFe_(2)O_(4).The maximum TCH removal reaches 98.2%under the optimal conditions([TCH]=25 mg/L,[PMS]=1.5 mmol/L,CoFe_(2)O_(4)/MgAl-LDH=0.20 g/L,pH 7,and T=25℃).Coexisting ions in the solution,such as SO_(4)^(2-),Cl-,H_(2)PO_(4)^(-),and CO_(3)^(2-),have a negligible effect on catalytic performance.Cyclic tests demonstrate that the catalytic performance of CoFe_(2)O_(4)/MgAl-LDH remains 67.2%after five cycles.Mechanism investigations suggest that O_(2)^(•-)and ^(1)O_(2) produced by CoFe_(2)O_(4)/MgAl-LDH play a critical role in the catalytic degradation.
文摘Supported metal catalysts are the backbone of heterogeneous catalysis,playing a crucial role in the modern chemical industry.Metal-support interactions(MSIs)are known important in determining the catalytic performance of supported metal catalysts.This is particularly true for single-atom catalysts(SACs)and pseudo-single-atom catalysts(pseudo-SACs),where all metal atoms are dispersed on,and interact directly with the support.Consequently,the MSI of SACs and pseudo-SACs are theoretically more sensitive to modulation compared to that of traditional nanoparticle catalysts.In this work,we experimentally demonstrated this hypothesis by an observed size-dependent MSI modulation.We fabricated CoFe_(2)O_(4) supported Pt pseudo-SACs and nanoparticle catalysts,followed by a straightforward water treatment process.It was found that the covalent strong metal-support interaction(CMSI)in pseudo-SACs can be weakened,leading to a significant activity improvement in methane combustion reaction.This finding aligns with our recent observation of CoFe_(2)O_(4) supported Pt SACs.By contrast,the MSI in Pt nanoparticle catalyst was barely affected by the water treatment,giving rise to almost unchanged catalytic performance.This work highlights the critical role of metal size in determining the MSI modulation,offering a novel strategy for tuning the catalytic performance of SACs and pseudo-SACs by fine-tuning their MSIs.

文摘Formamide condensation with Ni can generate the N–C structure,widely recognized as an efficient catalyst for electrocatalytic CO_(2) reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR).To improve the utilization efficiency of Ni atoms,we introduced metal oxides as substrates to modulate the growth of a formamide-Ni(FA-Ni)condensate.FA-Ni@TiO_(2) demonstrated 2.8 times higher partial CO current density and Ni turnover frequency than FA-Ni,which were also higher than those of other FA-Ni@metal oxides,including ZrO_(2),Al_(2)O_(3),Fe_(2)O_(3),and ZnO.The improved performance of CO_(2)RR can be attributed to the Ni content exposed on FA-Ni@TiO_(2) being twice that of the raw FA-Ni condensate.The Fourier transform infrared results suggested that formamide was adsorbed on TiO_(2) via the-CHO group,exposing-NH_(2) for potential interaction with Ni.As a result,Ni atoms were predispersed on the TiO_(2) surface.By contrast,the dispersion of Ni atoms was not enhanced by other metal oxides,such as Al_(2)O_(3),Fe_(2)O_(3),and ZnO,owing to the robust acidity of their surface sites.These metal oxides adsorbed formamide via-NH_(2),leading to the absence of extra-NH_(2) available for binding to Ni atoms.This study provides new insights into the development of appropriate substrates for single-atom catalysts.

文摘The use of fossil fuels significantly contributes to excess CO_(2) emissions.Catalytic hydrogenation of CO_(2) to dimethyl ether(DME)is an effective method for CO_(2) recycling,offering both environmental and economic benefits.Zeolites,known for their efficiency as solid catalysts,are widely utilized in the chemical industries.Bifunctional catalysts based on zeolites have gained attention for their applications in CO_(2) hydrogenation to DME.This review discusses key factors affecting the catalytic performance of zeolites,including topologies,Si/Al ratio,crystal size,and the proximity of metallic species to the zeolite catalysts.Although bifunctional catalytic systems enhance the conversion of CO_(2) to DME,they also lead to high CO selectivity at elevated temperatures,which can limit both DME yield and selectivity.We present recent advancements in the development of bifunctional catalysts for the direct hydrogenation of CO_(2) to DME,providing insights for designing optimized catalysts for tandem reaction systems.

文摘Charge-neutral method(CNM)is extensively used in investigating the performance of catalysts and the mechanism of N_(2)electrochemical reduction(NRR).However,disparities remain between the predicted potentials required for NRR by the CNM methods and those observed experimentally,as the CNM method neglects the charge effect from the electrode potential.To address this issue,we employed the constant electrode potential(CEP)method to screen atomic transition metal-N-graphene(M_(1)/N-graphene)as NRR electrocatalysts and systematically investigated the underlying catalytic mechanism.Among eight types of M_(1)/N-graphene(M_(1)=Mo,W,Fe,Re,Ni,Co,V,Cr),W_(1)/N-graphene emerges as the most promising NRR electrocatalyst with a limiting potential as low as−0.13 V.Additionally,the W_(1)/N-graphene system consistently maintains a positive charge during the reaction due to its Fermi level being higher than that of the electrode.These results better match with the actual circumstances compared to those calculated by conventional CNM method.Thus,our work not only develops a promising electrocatalyst for NRR but also deepens the understanding of the intrinsic electrocatalytic mechanism.

文摘Integrating the CO_(2)capture process with the CO_(2)electrochemical reduction process into a single system can eliminate the need for storage and transportation following CO_(2)capture.This integrated process offers several advantages over multi-step cascade processes,including reduced costs and enhanced CO_(2)utilization.However,the integrated CO_(2)capture and electrochemical reduction(CCER)process encounters several challenges,including the low CO_(2)adsorption performance of the gas diffusion electrode(GDE)and catalyst,as well as the poor activity and selectivity of the catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of CO_(2).This review aims to systematically summarize the fundamentals of the CCER process.Based on an in-depth understanding of the CO_(2)mass transfer,adsorption,and electrochemical reduction processes,GDE design strategies based on the modulation of wettability and structure are discussed to enhance the CO_(2)capture capability at the GDE level.At the catalyst level,catalyst design strategies based on the introduction of CO_(2)capture sites and the construction of CO_(2)mass transfer channels were analyzed,and catalyst design strategies for enhanced CO_(2)capture were proposed.This review summarizes the most common catalysts for CO_(2)electrochemical reduction,such as Ni-based,Bi-based,and Cubased catalysts,and analyzes their design strategies based on reaction pathways for generating specific products.Finally,the problems and challenges of the CCER process are summarized and proposed,which provide ideas for the further application of this technology in the future.
