文摘Aiming at the problems of insufficient activity and selectivity of Cu-based catalysts in CO_(2)hydrogenation to methanol,Al_(2)O_(3),ZrO_(2)and CeO_(2)modified Cu-ZnO catalysts by the co-precipitation method were prepared,and the influence mechanism of additives on the structure-performance relationship of the catalysts was systematically explored.Through a variety of characterization methods such as XRD,N2 physical adsorption-desorption,TEM,H_(2)-TPR,CO_(2)-TPD and XPS,combined with catalytic performance evaluation experiments,the correlation between the microstructure of catalysts and the reaction performance of CO_(2)hydrogenation to methanol was analyzed in depth.The results show that metal additives significantly improve the performance of catalysts.After the introduction of additives,the specific surface area and pore volume of the catalysts increase,the grain size of Cu decreases,and its dispersion improves.The Ce-modified CZC catalyst exhibited the best performance,with the grain size of CuO as small as 11.41 nm,and the surface oxygen vacancy concentration(OⅡ/OⅠ=3.15)was significantly higher than that of other samples.The reaction performance test shows that under the conditions of 2.8 MPa,8000 h−1 and 280℃,the CO_(2)conversion of the CZC catalyst reached 18.83%,the methanol selectivity was 68.40%,and the methanol yield was 12.88%,all of which are superior to other catalysts.Its excellent performance can be attributed to the fact that CeO_(2)enhances the metal-support interaction,increases the surface basicity,promotes the adsorption and activation of CO_(2),and simultaneously inhibits the reverse water-gas shift side reaction.This study clarifies the structure-activity regulation mechanism of additive modification on Cu-ZnO catalysts,providing a theoretical basis and technical reference for the development of efficient catalysts for CO_(2)hydrogenation to methanol.

文摘Electrochemical water splitting represents a sustainable technology for hydrogen(H_(2))production.However,its large-scale implementation is hindered by the high overpotentials required for both the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and the anodic oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Transition metal-based catalysts have garnered significant research interest as promising alternatives to noble-metal catalysts,owing to their low cost,tunable composition,and noble-metal-like catalytic activity.Nevertheless,systematic reviews on their application as bifunctional catalysts for overall water splitting(OWS)are still limited.This review comprehensively outlines the principal categories of bifunctional transition metal electrocatalysts derived from electrospun nanofibers(NFs),including metals,oxides,phosphides,sulfides,and carbides.Key strategies for enhancing their catalytic performance are systematically summarized,such as heterointerface engineering,heteroatom doping,metal-nonmetal-metal bridging architectures,and single-atom site design.Finally,current challenges and future research directions are discussed,aiming to provide insightful perspectives for the rational design of high-performance electrocatalysts for OWS.

文摘Against the backdrop of escalating global climate change and energy crises,the resource utilization of carbon dioxide(CO_(2)),a major greenhouse gas,has become a crucial pathway for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.The hydrogenation of CO_(2)to methanol not only enables carbon sequestration and recycling,but also provides a route to produce high value-added fuels and basic chemical feedstocks,holding significant environmental and economic potential.However,this conversion process is thermodynamically and kinetically limited,and traditional catalyst systems(e.g.,Cu/ZnO/Al_(2)O_(3))exhibit inadequate activity,selectivity,and stability under mild conditions.Therefore,the development of novel high-performance catalysts with precisely tunable structures and functionalities is imperative.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),as crystalline porous materials with high surface area,tunable pore structures,and diverse metal-ligand compositions,have the great potential in CO_(2)hydrogenation catalysis.Their structural design flexibility allows for the construction of well-dispersed active sites,tailored electronic environments,and enhanced metal-support interactions.This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in MOF-based and MOF-derived catalysts for CO_(2)hydrogenation to methanol,focusing on four design strategies:(1)spatial confinement and in situ construction,(2)defect engineering and ion-exchange,(3)bimetallic synergy and hybrid structure design,and(4)MOF-derived nanomaterial synthesis.These approaches significantly improve CO_(2)conversion and methanol selectivity by optimizing metal dispersion,interfacial structures,and reaction pathways.The reaction mechanism is further explored by focusing on the three main reaction pathways:the formate pathway(HCOO*),the RWGS(Reverse Water Gas Shift reaction)+CO*hydrogenation pathway,and the trans-COOH pathway.In situ spectroscopic studies and density functional theory(DFT)calculations elucidate the formation and transformation of key intermediates,as well as the roles of active sites,metal-support interfaces,oxygen vacancies,and promoters.Additionally,representative catalytic performance data for MOFbased systems are compiled and compared,demonstrating their advantages over traditional catalysts in terms of CO_(2)conversion,methanol selectivity,and space-time yield.Future perspectives for MOF-based CO_(2)hydrogenation catalysts will prioritize two main directions:structural design and mechanistic understanding.The precise construction of active sites through multi-metallic synergy,defect engineering,and interfacial electronic modulation should be made to enhance catalyst selectivity and stability.In addition,advanced in situ characterization techniques combined with theoretical modeling are essential to unravel the detailed reaction mechanisms and intermediate behaviors,thereby guiding rational catalyst design.Moreover,to enable industrial application,challenges related to thermal/hydrothermal stability,catalyst recyclability,and cost-effective large-scale synthesis must be addressed.The development of green,scalable preparation methods and the integration of MOF catalysts into practical reaction systems(e.g.,flow reactors)will be crucial for bridging the gap between laboratory research and commercial deployment.Ultimately,multi-scale structure-performance optimization and catalytic system integration will be vital for accelerating the industrialization of MOF-based CO_(2)-to-methanol technologies.

文摘To elucidate the effect of calcite-regulated activated carbon(AC)structure on low-temperature denitrification performance of SCR catalysts,this work prepared a series of Mn-Ce/De-AC-xCaCO_(3)(x is the calcite content in coal)catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method,followed by acid washing to remove calcium-containing minerals.Comprehensive characterization and low-temperature denitrification tests revealed that calcite-induced structural modulation of coal-derived AC significantly enhances catalytic activity.Specifically,NO conversion increased from 88.3%of Mn-Ce/De-AC to 91.7%of Mn-Ce/De-AC-1CaCO_(3)(210℃).The improved SCR denitrification activity results from the enhancement of physicochemical properties including higher Mn^(4+)content and Ce^(4+)/Ce^(3+)ratio,an abundance of chemisorbed oxygen and acidic sites,which could strengthen the SCR reaction pathways(richer NH_(3)activated species and bidentate nitrate active species).Therefore,NO removal is enhanced.

文摘Catalysts are key for olefin polymerization reactions and are also ubiquitous in catalysis science.Multinuclear metal catalysts have witnessed enhanced performances in catalytic reactions relative to mononuclear catalysts,but which substantially involve multi-step,tedious,and difficult synthesis.Herein,this study reports an intriguing approach to construct multi-nuclear catalysts for the milestoneα-diimine nickel catalysts using an oligomeric strategy.A polymerizable norbornene unit is incorporated into theα-diimine ligand backbone,leading to the formation of the monomeric nickel catalyst Ni_(1)and its corresponding oligomeric nickel catalysts(Ni_(3)and Ni_(5))with varying degrees of polymerization(DP=3 and 5).Notably,the oligomeric catalyst Ni_(5)was facilely scaled up(50 g-level),showed enhanced thermal stability,exhibited 4.6 times higher activity,and yielded polyethylene elastomer with a 379%increased molecular weight in ethylene polymerization,compared to the monomeric catalyst Ni_(1).Catalytic performance enhancements of oligomeric catalysts were found to be DP-dependent.The kilogram-scale polyethylene,produced using Ni_(5)in a 20 L reactor,presented a highly branched all-hydrocarbon structure,which demonstrated typical elastic properties(tensile strength:4 MPa,elastic recovery:SR=72%)along with great processability(MFI=3.0 g/10 min),insulating characteristics(volume resistivity=2×10^(16)Ω/m),and hydrophobicity(water vapor permeability:0.03 g/m^(2)/day),suggesting potentially practical applications.

文摘Seawater zinc-air batteries are promising energy storage devices due to their high energy density and utilization of seawater electrolytes.However,their efficiency is hindered by the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and chlorideinduced degradation over conventional catalysts.In this study,we proposed a universal synthetic strategy to construct heteroatom axially coordinated Fe–N_(4) single-atom seawater catalyst materials(Cl–Fe–N_(4) and S–Fe–N_(4)).X-ray absorption spectroscopy confirmed their five-coordinated square pyramidal structure.Systematic evaluation of catalytic activities revealed that compared with S–Fe–N_(4),Cl–Fe–N_(4) exhibits smaller electrochemical active surface area and specific surface area,yet demonstrates higher limiting current density(5.8 mA cm^(−2)).The assembled zinc-air batteries using Cl–Fe–N_(4) showed superior power density(187.7 mW cm^(−2) at 245.1 mA cm^(−2)),indicating that Cl axial coordination more effectively enhances the intrinsic ORR activity.Moreover,Cl–Fe–N_(4) demonstrates stronger Cl−poisoning resistance in seawater environments.Chronoamperometry tests and zinc-air battery cycling performance evaluations confirmed its enhanced stability.Density functional theory calculations revealed that the introduction of heteroatoms in the axial direction regulates the electron center of Fe single atom,leading to more active reaction intermediates and increased electron density of Fe single sites,thereby enhancing the reduction in adsorbed intermediates and hence the overall ORR catalytic activity.

文摘Lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries boast a theoretical energy density as high as 2600 Wh·kg^(−1),positioning them as a highly attractive option for future advanced energy storage systems.Challenges such as slow transformation kinetics and shuttle effects associated with lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)have seriously hindered their practical applications.In this paper,we present a new method for the synthesis of hollow carbon-sphere-supported Co monatomic catalysts(Co-N-C).This new synthesis method achieves pyrolytic coordination using a precursor rich in imide(-RC=N-)polymers.This synthesis method not only improves the adsorbability and catalytic activity of LiPS but also significantly weakens the shuttle effect and generates Co-N-C with superior conductivity,abundant hollow structures,and a high specific surface area,thus efficiently capturing and restricting the movement of LiPS intermediates.The dispersed Co monoatomic catalysts(Co SACs)were anchored to a highly conductive nitrogen-doped carbon framework and exhibited symmetric N-coordination active sites(Co-N_(4))to ensure fast redox kinetics of LiPS and Li_(2)S_(2)/Li_(2)S solid-state products.The lithium-sulfur battery with Co-N-C as the sulfur carrier showed excellent discharging capacity of 1146.6 mAh·g^(−1) at a discharge rate of 0.5 C and maintained excellent performance at a high discharge rate of 2 C.The capacity decay rate in 500 cycles was only 0.086%per cycle,reflecting excellent long-term cycle stability.This study highlights the key role of the synergistic effect between single-atom cobalt catalysts and hollow carbon spheres in enhancing the efficiency of lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries.It also provides valuable insights into the construction and fabrication of highly active monatomic catalysts.The catalytic conversion efficiency of lithium polysulfides is significantly enhanced when embedded in hollow carbon architectures,which serves as a critical strategy for optimizing the electrochemical behavior of next-generation Li-S batteries.

文摘Methanol steam reforming(MSR)represents a promising route for hydrogen production,leveraging the high energy density and liquid-phase storage advantages of methanol.Copper-based catalysts have become indispensable for MSR due to their cost-effectiveness,exceptional catalytic activity,and tunable selectivity.However,persistent challenges such as thermal sintering,undesirable CO byproduct formation,diminished low-temperature reactivity,and long-term catalyst deactivation limit their broad industrial deployment.This review comprehensively examines the mechanistic pathways of MSR over Cu-based catalysts,with particular focus on differentiating catalyst formulations optimized for high-temperature(>200°C)versus low-temperature(<200°C)operation.It highlights the decisive influence of Cu nanoparticle size,electronic structure,and crystal structure on catalytic performance.Cutting-edge design strategies,including multi-element engineering,innovative synthesis techniques,and deactivation mitigation,are critically evaluated to elucidate mechanistic connections between atomic-scale structure and catalytic performance enhancement.Finally,industrial applications of commercial Cu/ZnO/Al_(2)O_(3)variants and their scalability challenges are discussed,alongside prospective strategies for catalyst innovation and engineering to advance next-generation hydrogen production.

文摘Endogenous hydrogen systems,consisting of metal–organic coordination catalysts and alcohols,have been widely applied for the transfer hydrogenation(TH)of biomass-derived carbonyl compounds in recent years.Metal-organic coordination catalysts showed satisfactory ability of TH in the secondary alcohols,but most of them could not effectively employ the cheaper primary alcohols as hydrogen donors.Furthermore,they commonly contained high metal contents,which also led to low catalytic efficiency in significant measure.In this work,we constructed a novel magnesium single-atom catalyst(Mg-NC)with merely 0.37 wt%Mg by means of a combined self-assembly and pyrolysis strategy.The characterization results indicated that Mg was atomically dispersed and it was coordinated with four pyridinic-N in Mg-NC.Due to the obvious electron transfer from Mg to its coordinated pyridinic-N,Mg–N_(4)active centers displayed high Lewis acid-base strength with abundant content,which brought remarkable catalytic activity.When Mg-NC was used for the TH of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)in ethanol(EtOH),2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan(BHMF)yield was up to 96.3%with high productivity of 19.85 molBHMF mol_(Mg)^(−1)h^(−1)at 150°C for 5 h.More interestingly,the process of TH over Mg-NC in EtOH was proved to proceed via the hydrogen radical mechanism.Additionally,Mg-NC exhibited powerful catalytic universality;it could not only utilize other primary alcohols(such as n-propanol and n-butanol)as hydrogen donors,but also catalyze the TH of other carbonyl compounds(such as furfural,5-methylfurfural,benzaldehyde,cyclohexanone,and levulinic acid).Overall,this work offered some important clues and references to reinforce the hydrogen-supplying ability of primary alcohols in the TH of various biomass-derived carbonyl compounds to high-value fine chemicals.

文摘Using photoelectrocatalytic CO_(2) reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR)to produce valuable fuels is a fascinating way to alleviate environmental issues and energy crises.Bismuth-based(Bi-based)catalysts have attracted widespread attention for CO_(2)RR due to their high catalytic activity,selectivity,excellent stability,and low cost.However,they still need to be further improved to meet the needs of industrial applications.This review article comprehensively summarizes the recent advances in regulation strategies of Bi-based catalysts and can be divided into six categories:(1)defect engineering,(2)atomic doping engineering,(3)organic framework engineering,(4)inorganic heterojunction engineering,(5)crystal face engineering,and(6)alloying and polarization engineering.Meanwhile,the corresponding catalytic mechanisms of each regulation strategy will also be discussed in detail,aiming to enable researchers to understand the structure-property relationship of the improved Bibased catalysts fundamentally.Finally,the challenges and future opportunities of the Bi-based catalysts in the photoelectrocatalytic CO_(2)RR application field will also be featured from the perspectives of the(1)combination or synergy of multiple regulatory strategies,(2)revealing formation mechanism and realizing controllable synthesis,and(3)in situ multiscale investigation of activation pathways and uncovering the catalytic mechanisms.On the one hand,through the comparative analysis and mechanism explanation of the six major regulatory strategies,a multidimensional knowledge framework of the structure-activity relationship of Bi-based catalysts can be constructed for researchers,which not only deepens the atomic-level understanding of catalytic active sites,charge transport paths,and the adsorption behavior of intermediate products,but also provides theoretical guiding principles for the controllable design of new catalysts;on the other hand,the promising collaborative regulation strategies,controllable synthetic paths,and the in situ multiscale characterization techniques presented in this work provides a paradigm reference for shortening the research and development cycle of high-performance catalysts,conducive to facilitating the transition of photoelectrocatalytic CO_(2)RR technology from the laboratory routes to industrial application.

文摘Large-scale CO_(2)emissions have exacerbated the greenhouse effect,reinforcing the critical need for efficient CO_(2)mitigation methods.Plasma-catalytic technology enables CO_(2)conversion under mild conditions,especially for CO_(2)methanation(the Sabatier reaction),which has attracted significant attention due to its economic benefits and the potential for safe energy transportation via existing natural gas pipelines.The development of high-performance CO_(2)methanation catalysts remains an ongoing and long-term objective,and there is a lack of adequate in-situ characterization techniques to investigate the mechanisms.This study focuses on the Ni/La_(2)O_(3)(LN)catalyst and introduces two CO_(2)activation strategies through F and Na modifications:the Ni-Ov-Ni site activation with electron transfer from Ni0 under low-power conditions and basic site activation under high-power conditions.The LN-NaF catalysts enhance CO_(2)methanation activity across the entire power range compared to LN,achieving a CO_(2)conversion of 86.3%and CH4 selectivity of 99.4%.Additionally,LN-F(h)reaches a CH4 yield 4.15 times higher than that of LN at low power.Furthermore,in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform(DRIFT)spectroscopy with a self-made reactor are performed under plasma-catalytic conditions to reveal the CO_(2)adsorption and conversion mechanisms,indicating that different dopants(F,Na,and NaF)exhibit promoting effects on different intermediates,resulting in variations in CO_(2)methanation activity.This study provides valuable insights for improving catalyst performance and a thorough comprehension of mechanisms in CO_(2)methanation.
文摘Sm and Ho were doped in Ce-Mn/TiO_(2)catalyst respectively to enhance its denitration performance at low temperature.X-ray diffraction(XRD),N2adsorption-desorption,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),NH3-temperature programmed desorption(NH3-TPD),H2-temperature programmed reduction(H2-TPR)and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy(DRIFTS)techniques were used to analyze the structure and performance of catalysts.The results demonstrate that Ho doping increases the amount of acid sites and improves low temperature redox property of Ce-Mn/TiO_(2),which lead to excellent DeNOxperformance of Ho-Ce-Mn/TiO_(2)in the whole reaction temperature range.Sm doping results in decline of redox property,but it is beneficial to increasing the acid sites of Ce-Mn/TiO_(2).The increased surface acid sites and moderate oxidative ability impart Sm-Ce-Mn/TiO_(2)higher denitration activity and N2selectivity at temperature above 150℃.Lewis acid sites and redox property are the main factors affecting the activity of catalysts.Doping of Ho and Sm both improves sulfur resistance performance of Ce-Mn/TiO_(2)by inhibiting the adsorption of SO_(2)and formation of sulfate.Ce-Mn/TiO_(2)modified by Ho shows better sulfur resistance than that doped with Sm because of its more surface acid sites.

文摘As a common heavy metal in the sintering flue gas,Pb can exist in the form of oxide(PbO)and lead to the decrease in the denitration catalysts activity.Ce-Mn/AC(activated carbon)and PbO-Ce-Mn/AC catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and their selective catalytic reduction of NH_(3) with NO was studied.Results showed that selective catalytic reduction activity of Ce-Mn/AC decreased remarkably after doping PbO.And the NO conversion of Ce-Mn/AC reached 94.52% at 200℃,while the value was reduced to 65.8% after doping PbO at the same temperature.The doping of PbO decreased the total pore volume and oxygen functional groups of activated carbon,increased crystallinity of Mn oxides on the catalyst,decreased Mn^(4+) and chemisorbed oxygen content and then inhibited the“fast selective catalytic reduction”denitration reaction for Ce-Mn/AC catalysts.On this basis,the poisoning effects of lead oxide on Ce-Mn/AC catalysts for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction were revealed.

文摘Constructing cerium and manganese bimetallic catalysts with excellent catalytic performance for soot combustion is the research frontier at present.In order to find out the key factors for catalytic soot combustion of Ce-Mn-O catalysts,a series of Ce-Mn-O catalysts with different Ce/Mn proportions were prepared by co-precipitation method.The activity test results show that it increases first and then decreases with the increase of Mn content.The best catalytic activity is obtained for Ce_(0.64)Mn_(0.36) catalyst,which shows a maximum rate temperature(T_(m)) at 306℃ for CO_(2) production in TPO curve.Compared with non-catalytic soot combustion,the T_(m) decreases by mo re than 270℃.Syste matical characte rization results suggest that when the adsorbed surface oxygen,lattice oxygen,specific surface area and total reduction amount of the catalysts reach a certain value,the key factors leading to the difference of catalytic activity become the readily reducible and highly dispersed surface manganese oxide species and contact performance of the external surface.The surface manganese oxide species is beneficial to improving the low-temperature reducibility of catalysts and the porous surface is conducive to the contact between catalyst and soot.Furthermore,for the soot combustion reaction containing only O_(2),the promoting effect of Mn^(4+)is not obvious.

文摘S and Co co-doped carbon catalysts were prepared via pyrolysis of MOF-71 and thiourea mixtures at 800℃at a mass ratio of MOF-71 to thiourea of 1:0.1 to effectively activate peroxymonosulfate(PMS)for methylene blue(MB)degradation.The effects of two different mixing routes were identified on the MB degradation performance.Particularly,the catalyst obtained by the alcohol solvent evaporation(MOF-AEP)mixing route could degrade 95.60%MB(50 mg/L)within 4 min(degradation rate:K=0.78 min^(-1)),which was faster than that derived from the direct grinding method(MOF-DGP,80.97%,K=0.39 min^(-1)).X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the Co-S content of MOF-AEP(43.39at%)was less than that of MOF-DGP(54.73at%),and the proportion of C-S-C in MOF-AEP(13.56at%)was higher than that of MOF-DGP(10.67at%).Density functional theory calculations revealed that the adsorption energy of Co for PMS was -2.94 eV when sulfur was doped as C-S-C on the carbon skeleton,which was higher than that when sulfur was doped next to cobalt in the form of Co-S bond(-2.86 eV).Thus,the C-S-C sites might provide more contributions to activate PMS compared with Co-S.Furthermore,the degradation parameters,including pH and MOF-AEP dosage,were investigated.Finally,radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)measurements revealed that ^(1)O_(2)might be the primary catalytic species,whereas·O~(2-)might be the secondary one in degrading MB.

文摘Green hydrogen from water splitting has emerged as a critical energy vector with the potential to spearhead the global transition to a fossil fuel-independent society.The field of catalysis has been revolutionized by single-atom catalysts(SACs),which exhibit unique and intricate interactions between atomically dispersed metal atoms and their supports.Recently,bimetallic SACs(bimSACs)have garnered significant attention for leveraging the synergistic functions of two metal ions coordinated on appropriately designed supports.BimSACs offer an avenue for rich metal–metal and metal–support cooperativity,potentially addressing current limitations of SACs in effectively furnishing transformations which involve synchronous proton–electron exchanges,substrate activation with reversible redox cycles,simultaneous multi-electron transfer,regulation of spin states,tuning of electronic properties,and cyclic transition states with low activation energies.This review aims to encapsulate the growing advancements in bimSACs,with an emphasis on their pivotal role in hydrogen generation via water splitting.We subsequently delve into advanced experimental methodologies for the elaborate characterization of SACs,elucidate their electronic properties,and discuss their local coordination environment.Overall,we present comprehensive discussion on the deployment of bimSACs in both hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction,the two half-reactions of the water electrolysis process.

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.
