The synthesized catalysts were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area measurement BET, vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) and tem- perature-programmed reduction (TPR). The experimental results demonstrated that the magnetic Pd/La1-xPbxMnO3 (x = 0.4-0.5) obtain relative better catalytic activity. It can be explained by higher concentration of oxygen vacan- cies, larger amount and better mobility of lattice oxygen of their support. Furthermore, these samples possess suffi- cient saturated magnetization. Thus, Pd/La1-xPbxMnO3 (x = 0.4-0.5) may be suitable for operation in the magneti- cally stabilized bed reactor.展开更多

The composite CoPz(S-Bu)8/SiO2@Fe3O4appeared to be an active catalyst in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol in aqueous solution using hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) as oxidant under Xe-lamp irradiation,with 36.4% conversion of benzyl alcohol, about 99% selectivity for benzoic acid and turnover number(TON) of 61.7 at ambient temperature. The biomimetic catalyst CoPz(S-Bu)8was supported on the magnetic carrier SiO2@Fe3O4 so as to suspend it in aqueous solution to react with substrates, utilizing its lipophilicity. Meanwhile the CoPz(S-Bu)8can use its unique advantages to control the selectivity of photocatalytic oxidation without the substrate being subjected to deep oxidation. The influence of various reaction parameters on the conversion rate of benzyl alcohol and selectivity of benzoic acid was investigated in detail. Moreover, photocatalytic oxidation of substituted benzyl alcohols was obtained with high conversion and excellent selectivity, specifically conversion close to 70%, selectivity close to 100% and TON of 113.6 for para-position electron-donating groups. The selectivity and eco-friendliness of the biomimetic photocatalyst give it great potential for practical applications.展开更多

This method is simpler and more efficient than previously reported step-by-step method in which magnets were consecutively dispersed in DMF solutions each containing one MOF precursor, and the obtained Fe304@UiO-66-NH2 with three assembly cycles has a higher degree of crystallinity and porosiW. The core-shell Fe3O4@UiO-66-NH2 is highly active and selective in Knoevenagel condensations because of the bifunctionality of UiO-66-NH2 and better mass transfer in the nano-sized shells. It also has good recycling stability, and can be recovered magnetically and reused at least four times without significant loss of catalytic activity and framework integrity. The effects of substitution on the reactivity of benzaldehyde and of substrate size were also investigated.展开更多

Fe-segregation in the nanosheets yields magnetic domains with different spin alignments, while the surface compensating anions affect the local moments and valence states of the Fe atoms. The two conditions do not radically change the super-exchange nature of interactions between the paramagnetic metal centers, hut facilitate the formation of various magnetic superlattices in the nanosheets. The calculated free energy change of the intermediates shows that the most stable magnetic structure of Ni-Fe hydrox- ide nanosheets exhibits superior catalytic activity towards oxygen reduction/evolution reactions, which is indicative of magnetic catalyst. This is due to the cycle transition between Fe2+ and Fe~~ ions in the reactions, which determines the sequence of cleavage of the O-H bond and the release of the OH group, controlling the rate-limiting steps of the reaction. The relationship of magnetism and catalytic activity of Ni-Fe hydroxide nanosheets is established by the valence state change of the Fe ions, which will be helpful to open the way for the design of hydroxide/layered double hydroxides (LDHs)-based magnetic catalysts.展开更多

In this regard, magnetic MIL-100 (Fe)@SiO2@Fe3O4 microspheres with a novel core-shell structure were fabricated by the in-situ self-assembly of a metal-organic MIL- 100(Fe) framework around pre-synthesized magnetic SiO2@Fe3O4 particles under relatively mild and environmentally benign conditions. The catalytic activity of the MIL-100(Fe)@SiO2@Fe3O4 catalyst was tested for the liquid-phase acetalization of benzaldehyde and glycol. The MIL-100(Fe)@SiO2@Fe3O4 catalyst has a significant amount of accessible Lewis acid sites and therefore exhibited good acetalization catalytic activity. Moreover, due to its superparamagnetism properties, the heterogeneous MIL-100(Fe)@SiO2@Fe3O4 catalyst can be easily isolated from the reaction system within a few seconds by simply using an external magnet. The catalyst could then be reused at least eight times without significant loss in catalytic efficiency.展开更多

This catalyst is easily separated by magnetic devices and can be reused without any apparent loss of activity for the reaction. In addition, it is very interesting that when using Co nanoparticles as a catalyst, spatially-hindered aldehydes such as 2-methoxy-, 2-fluoro-, and 2-chloro-aldehydes are suitable for this reaction.展开更多

This is due to the cycle transition between Fe2+ and Fe~~ ions in the reactions, which determines the sequence of cleavage of the O-H bond and the release of the OH group, controlling the rate-limiting steps of the reaction. The relationship of magnetism and catalytic activity of Ni-Fe hydroxide nanosheets is established by the valence state change of the Fe ions, which will be helpful to open the way for the design of hydroxide/layered double hydroxides (LDHs)-based magnetic catalysts.

文摘Abstract Heterogeneous catalysts with convenient recyclability and reusability are vitally important to reduce the cost of catalysts as well as to avoid complex separation and recovery operations. In this regard, magnetic MIL-100 (Fe)@SiO2@Fe3O4 microspheres with a novel core-shell structure were fabricated by the in-situ self-assembly of a metal-organic MIL- 100(Fe) framework around pre-synthesized magnetic SiO2@Fe3O4 particles under relatively mild and environmentally benign conditions. The catalytic activity of the MIL-100(Fe)@SiO2@Fe3O4 catalyst was tested for the liquid-phase acetalization of benzaldehyde and glycol. The MIL-100(Fe)@SiO2@Fe3O4 catalyst has a significant amount of accessible Lewis acid sites and therefore exhibited good acetalization catalytic activity. Moreover, due to its superparamagnetism properties, the heterogeneous MIL-100(Fe)@SiO2@Fe3O4 catalyst can be easily isolated from the reaction system within a few seconds by simply using an external magnet. The catalyst could then be reused at least eight times without significant loss in catalytic efficiency.

文摘A straightforward and general method has been developed for the synthesis of C5-unsubstitiuted 1,4-dihydropyridines by a reaction using dimedone, acetophenone, aromatic aldehydes, and ammonium acetate in the presence of a catalytic amount of Co nanoparticles as a heterogeneous and eco-friendly catalyst with high catalytic activity at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. This catalyst is easily separated by magnetic devices and can be reused without any apparent loss of activity for the reaction. In addition, it is very interesting that when using Co nanoparticles as a catalyst, spatially-hindered aldehydes such as 2-methoxy-, 2-fluoro-, and 2-chloro-aldehydes are suitable for this reaction.

文摘Highly active and stable magnetic copper catalysts were successfully achieved by magnetic induced Stober method and subsequent hydrothermal reaction with copper ions in alkaline condition.The high content of Cu2+as well as the unique structures of hierarchical copper silicate in the as-prepared catalysts endowed their outstanding catalytic performance.Efficient decarboxylative A3-coupling of a-keto acid,amine and alkyne was realized with the low Fe3 O4@CuSiO3 loading.A range of propargylamines were produced in good to excellent yields under solvent-free condition.Moreover,the catalyst can be easily separated from the final organic product with an external magnet.Also,this kind of catalyst could be recycled up to six times while maintaining its activity.

文摘In recent years,persulfate(PS)-based advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)have become a hot research topic for degrading environmental pollutants due to their excellent oxidation capacity,selectivity,and stability.PS-AOPs can generate sulfate radicals(SO^(·-)_(4))with strong oxidation ability,but single PS produces limited or no radicals.Therefore,activation of PS by energy input or catalyst dosing is used to improve its oxidation performance.However,the addition of disposable catalyst not only causes a waste of resources,but also may lead to secondary pollution.Therefore,magnetically separable catalysts for activating PS have received widespread attention due to their reusability.Although there are few literature reviews on the activation of PS by carbon-or iron-based magnetic materials,the mechanism analysis of the activation of PS by magnetic materials to degrade pollut-ants is not deep enough,and the discussion of material types is not comprehensive and detailed.Moreover,the discussion of magnetic materials in terms of recycling properties is lacking.Therefore,this review firstly sum-marizes and analyzes the mechanism of magnetically separable catalysts activating PS to degrade pollutants.Then,the research progress of zero-valent iron(ZVI,Fe^(0))-based,iron oxide-based,bimetallic oxide-based,and other magnetically separable catalyst is introduced,and the tailoring engineering approaches and reusability of magnetically separable catalysts are discussed.Finally,some possible material optimization suggestions are proposed in this paper.In conclusion,this review is expected to provide useful insights for improving the per-formance and reusability of magnetically separable materials activated PS in the future.

文摘The electrocatalysis reactions involving oxygen,such as oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and oxygen reduction reaction(ORR),play a critical role in energy storage/conversion applications,e.g.,fuel cells,metal-air batteries,and electrochemical water splitting.The high kinetic energy barrier of the OER/ORR is highly associated with the spin state interconversion between singlet OH^(−)/H_(2)O and triplet O_(2),which is influenced by the spin state and magnetism of catalysts.This Review summarizes recent progress and advances in understanding spin/magnetism-related effects in oxygen electrocatalysis to develop spin theory.It is demonstrated that the spin states(low,intermediate,and high spin)of magnetic transition metal catalysts(TMCs)can directly affect the reaction barriers of OER/ORR by tailoring the bonding of oxygen intermediates with TMCs.Besides,the spin states of TMCs can build a spin-selective channel to filter the electron spins required for the single/triplet interconversion of O species during OER/ORR.In this Review,we introduced many approaches to modulating spin state,for instance,altering the crystal field,oxidation state of active-site ions,and the morphology of TMCs.What’s more,a magnetic field can drive the spin flip of magnetic ions to achieve the spin alignment(↑↑)(i.e.,facilitating spin polarization),which will strengthen the spin selectivity for accelerating the filtration and transfer of the spins with the same direction for the generation and conversion of triplet ↑O=O↑.Importantly,the origin of magnetic field enhancement on OER/ORR are deeply discussed,which provides a great vision for the magnetism-assisted catalysis.Finally,the challenges and perspectives for future development of spin/magnetism catalysis are presented.This Review is expected to highlight the significance of spin/magnetism theory in breaking the bottleneck of electrocatalysis field and promote the development of high-efficientcy electrocatalysts for practical applications.
