The support is not only a cartier for active compotmds in catalysts but also can improve the dispersion of precious metals and suppress the sintering of precious metals at high temperature; meanwhile, noble metals can also enhance the redox performance and oxygen storage capacity of support. The mechanism of metal-support interactions mainly includes electronic interaction, formation of alloy and inward diffusion of metal into the support or covered by support. The form and degree of precious metal-sup- port interaction depend on many factors, including the content of precious metal, the species of support and metal, and preparation methods. The research results about strong metal-support interaction （SMSI） gave a theory support for developing a kind of new cata- lyst with excellent performance. This paper reviewed the interaction phenomenon and mechanism of precious metals （Pt, Pd, Rh） and support such as A1203, CeO2, and CeO2-based oxides in automotive exhaust catalysts. The factors that affect SMSI and the catalysts developed by SMSI were also discussed.展开更多

However, in the traditional impregnation method, it is difficult to obtain sufficient metal-support interactions owing to the mobility of the metal precursor during evaporation drying. Here, freeze drying is applied during impregnation instead of evaporation drying for enhancing the metal-support interactions. 57 Fe ZSM-5 was chosen as a representative catalyst. A quantitative analysis was conducted based on Mossbauer spectroscopy. Compared with traditional evaporation-drying catalyst, freeze-drying catalyst has stronger metal-support interactions. In addition, more iron species are confined in the channel and smaller metal sizes and less diversity are obtained. The compositional change is also proved because of the superior performance of the freeze-drying catalyst during N2O decomposition. This method can be extended to other supported metal catalysts prepared through an impregnation method, which can be used to tune the metal-support interactions and metal sizes.展开更多

文摘Photoelectrochemical(PEC)water splitting using bismuth vanadate(BiVO_(4))as a photoanode shows promise for renewable hydrogen production.Depositing cobalt phosphate(CoPi)on the BiVO_(4)photoanode as an oxygen evolution cocatalyst(OEC)is an effective method to improve the PEC performance.However,the CoPi/BiVO_(4)photoanode still faces challenges in terms of slow interface photogenerated carrier transport.Herein,we utilize the advantage of the classical strong metal-support interaction(SMSI)between Au and BiVO_(4)to prepare a CoPi/Au/BiVO_(4)(SMSI-CoPi/Au/BiVO_(4))photoanode.Due to the formation of SMSI,the accumulated electrons at the interface of CoPi/Au induce the accelerated extraction of photogenerated holes.Meanwhile,the active electron density of CoPi is increased,leading to improved water oxidation kinetic.As a result,the SMSI-CoPi/Au/BiVO_(4)photoanode exhibits a high photocurrent density of 5.01 m A cm^(-2)at 1.23 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode and an applied bias photon-to-current efficiency of 1.78%.This work highlights a novel approach to enhance hole transfer and water oxidation kinetics of OEC/BiVO_(4)composite photoanodes,offering the great potential of using SMSI for PEC water splitting.

文摘A novel Cu-t-ZrO_(2)catalyst with enhanced electronic metal-support interaction(EMSI)is designed for efficient electrocatalytic conversion of nitrate(NO_(3^(-)))to ammonia(NH_(3)),achieving a remarkable Faradaic efficiency and yield rate of 97.54%and 33.64 mg h^(-1)mg_(cat)^(-1),respectively.Electrons are more likely to be transferred from Cu to t-ZrO_(2)at the electron-rich interface due to the lower work function,which promotes the formation of highly active Cu species and facilitates NO_(3^(-))adsorption,ensuring selective conversion into NH_(3).

文摘To develop efficient catalysts for ambient carbon monoxide(CO)oxidation is significant for indoor air purification and also for many industrial applications.In this work,the catalytic activity for CO oxidation were enhanced by tuning the metal-support interaction of Ru/CeO_(2)catalysts.A series of Ru/CeO_(2)catalysts were synthesized by an impregnation method with calcination at 100,200,400 and 600℃,respectively,to regulate the Ru-CeO_(2)interaction.We discovered that low temperature calcination(100℃)induced more Ru-O-Ce bonds and stronger Ru-CeO_(2)interaction,while high temperature calcination(≥400℃)caused the agglomeration of Ru species with more Ru-O-Ru bonds and weaker Ru-CeO_(2)interaction,resulting in the lower redox capacity of these catalysts,as well as lower catalytic activity for CO oxidation.Only calcination at moderate 200℃ can induce the moderate interaction between Ru species and CeO_(2)support,which can keep the high dispersion of RuO_(x)species with the high redox capacity,thus leading to complete elimination of 500 ppm CO at room temperature on Ru/Ce-200 catalyst.

文摘The electron localization is considered as a promising approach to optimize electromagnetic waves(EMW)dissipation.However,it is still difficult to realize well-controlled electron localization and elucidate the related EMW loss mechanisms for current researches.In this study,a novel two-dimensional MXene(Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x))nanosheet decorated with Ni nanoclusters(Ni-NC)system to construct an effective electron localization model based on electronic orbital structure is explored.Theoretical simulations and experimental results reveal that the metal-support interaction between Ni-NC and MXene disrupts symmetric electronic environments,leading to enhanced electron localization and dipole polarization.Additionally,Ni-NC generate a strong interfacial electric field,strengthening heterointerface interactions and promoting interfacial polarization.As a result,the optimized material achieves an exceptional reflection loss(RLmin)of-54 dB and a broad effective absorption bandwidth of 6.8 GHz.This study offers critical insights into the in-depth relationship between electron localization and EMW dissipation,providing a pathway for electron localization engineering in functional materials such as semiconductors,spintronics,and catalysis.
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This study explores the adsorption and reac-tion of methanol on the CeO_(2)(111)and Ni/CeO_(2)(111)surfaces,highlighting the es-sential role of metal-support interaction in methanol decomposition by a synergistic ap-proach encompassing synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy,X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy,infrared reflection and absorption spectroscopy,and temperature-programmed desorption.Our findings reveal that Ni deposited on the CeO_(2)(111)surface,followed by annealing to 700 K,leads to the formation of Ce-O-Ni mixed oxide as the dominant phase.The Ni^(2+)species facilitate the methoxy decomposition into CO and H_(2)within 300-430 K,with a small amount of formalde-hyde also forming at the edge sites of ceria.Additionally,some methoxy adsorbed on the bare CeO_(2)surface migrates to the Ce-O-Ni mixed oxide,where they decompose into CO and H_(2)at 500-600 K,accompanied by a portion of the methoxy interacting with ceria to generate formaldehyde.Upon exposure to methanol at 500 K,the Ni^(2+)species are reduced to metallic Ni^(0),alongside the formation of coke and Ni_(3)C,ultimately resulting in catalyst deactivation.However,reintroducing O_(2)reactivates these sites by oxidizing metallic Ni^(0)and Ni_(3)C species.This study highlights the pivotal role of metal-support interaction in promoting oxygen trans-fer from ceria to Ni,thereby enhancing methoxy decomposition and significantly improving the performance of Ni-based catalysts for methanol decomposition into CO and H_(2).

文摘Water electrolysis poses a significant challenge for balancing catalytic activity and stability of oxygen evolution reaction(OER)electrocatalysts.In this study,we address this challenge by constructing asymmetric redox chemistry through elaborate surface OO–Ru–OH and bulk Ru–O–Ni/Fe coordination moieties within single-atom Ru-decorated defective NiFe LDH nanosheets(Ru@d-NiFe LDH)in conjunction with strong metal-support interactions(SMSI).Rigorous spectroscopic characterization and theoretical calculations indicate that single-atom Ru can delocalize the O 2p electrons on the surface and optimize d-electron configurations of metal atoms in bulk through SMSI.The^(18)O isotope labeling experiment based on operando differential electrochemical mass spectrometry(DEMS),chemical probe experiments,and theoretical calculations confirm the encouraged surface lattice oxygen,stabilized bulk lattice oxygen,and enhanced adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates for bulk metals in Ru@d-NiFe LDH,leading to asymmetric redox chemistry for OER.The Ru@d-NiFe LDH electrocatalyst exhibits exceptional performance with an overpotential of 230 mV to achieve 10 mA cm^(−2)and maintains high robustness under industrial current density.This approach for achieving asymmetric redox chemistry through SMSI presents a new avenue for developing high-performance electrocatalysts and instills confidence in its industrial applicability.

文摘Tuning Strong Metal-support Interactions(SMSI)is a key strategy to obtain highly active catalysts,but conventional methods usually enable TiO_(x) encapsulation of noble metal components to minimize the exposure of noble metals.This study demonstrates a catalyst preparation method to modulate a weak encapsulation of Pt metal nanoparticles(NPs)with the supported TiO_(2),achieving the moderate suppression of SMSI effects.The introduction of silica inhibits this encapsulation,as reflected in the characterization results such as XPS and HRTEM,while the Ti^(4+) to Ti^(3+) conversion due to SMSI can still be found on the support surface.Furthermore,the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde(CAL)as a probe reaction revealed that once this encapsulation behavior was suppressed,the adsorption capacity of the catalyst for small molecules like H_(2) and CO was enhanced,which thereby improved the catalytic activity and facilitated the hydrogenation of CAL.Meanwhile,the introduction of SiO_(2) also changed the surface structure of the catalyst,which inhibited the occurrence of the acetal reaction and improved the conversion efficiency of C=O and C=C hydrogenation.Systematic manipulation of SMSI formation and its consequence on the performance in catalytic hydrogenation reactions are discussed.

文摘Monochloroacetic acid(MCAA)is identified as a highly carcinogenic disinfection by-product in chlorinated drinking water.In this study,a series of CeO_(2)-supported Pd catalysts(Pd/MCeO_(2))were synthesized through one-step calcination of Pd-loaded Ce-UiO-66-BDC(CeMOF),and the liquid-phase catalytic hydrodechlorination of MCA A was explored using these catalysts.For comparison,Pd/CeO_(2)catalysts were additionally synthesized using the conventional impregnation method.The characterization results reveal that the catalysts exhibit strong metal-support interaction,leading to high Pd dispersion and Pd^(n+)content.Additionally,the calcination temperature significantly influences catalytic performance,with the catalyst calcined at 500℃(Pd/MCeO_(2)-500)demonstrating the highest catalytic activity and achieving complete dechlorination of MCA A within 50 min.Furthermore,it is found that the catalytic MCAA hydrodechlorination using the catalysts adheres to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.Accordingly,low reaction pH is favorable for the catalytic hydrodechlorination of MCAA,enhancing MCAA adsorption on the catalyst surface due to the electrostatic interaction between MCAA and the catalyst surface.Theoretical results suggest that the presence of Pd^(n+)efficiently facilitates MCAA adsorption and C-Cl cleavage,thus significantly enhancing the liquid-phase catalytic hydrodechlorination.

文摘The modulation of metal-support interfacial interaction is significant but challenging in the design of high-efficiency and high-stability supported catalysts.Here,we report a synthetic strategy to upgrade Cu-CeO_(2)interfacial interaction by the pyrolysis of mixed metal-organic framework(MOF)structure.The obtained highly dispersed Cu/CeO_(2)-MOF catalyst via this strategy was used to catalyze water-gas shift reaction(WGSR),which exhibited high activity of 40.5μmolCOgcat^(-1).s^(-1)at 300℃and high stability of about 120 h.Based on comprehensive studies of electronic structure,pyrolysis strategy has significant effect on enhancing metal-support interaction and then stabilizing interfacial Cu^(+)species under reaction conditions.Abundant Cu^(+)species and generated oxygen vacancies over Cu/CeO_(2)-MOF catalyst played a key role in CO molecule activation and H2O molecule dissociation,respectively.Both collaborated closely and then promoted WGSR catalytic performance in comparison with traditio nal supported catalysts.This study shall offer a robust approach to harvest highly dispersed catalysts with finely-tuned metal-support interactions for stabilizing the most interfacial active metal species in diverse heterogeneous catalytic reactions.

文摘Polar surfaces are prevalent in metal oxides,the interactions between surface species with polar surfaces are different from those with non-polar surfaces,a thorough understanding of the interactions is key to regulate the performance of heterogeneous catalysts.In this work,we delve into the interaction of Pt_(n)(n=1-4)with polar ZnO(0001)-Zn and ZnO(0001)-O,and the influence of the surface polarity on the electronic structures and reactivity of Pt_(n) by using density functional theory calculations.The results suggest distinct differences in electronic structures of two exposed terminations,leading to different interactions with Pt_(n).The interaction between Pt_(n) and two terminations not only stabilizes the surface and clusters through polar compensation,but also induces opposite charges on the cluster at two terminations.Remarkably,the Pearson correlation coefficient reveals the interdependency between the electronic states of Pt_(n) and its performance in terms of small molecule adsorption/activation.These observations demonstrate the crucial role of surface polarity in regulating the electronic states and catalytic performance of active sites,and offer a possible design principle for supported catalysts.

文摘Designing high-performance and low-cost electrocatalysts for oxygen evolu-tion reaction(OER)is critical for the conversion and storage of sustainable energy technologies.Inspired by the biomineralization process,we utilized the phosphorylation sites of collagen molecules to combine with cobalt-based mononuclear precursors at the molecular level and built a three-dimensional(3D)porous hierarchical material through a bottom-up biomimetic self-assembly strategy to obtain single-atom catalysts confined on carbonized biomimetic self-assembled carriers(Co SACs/cBSC)after subsequent high-temperature annealing.In this strategy,the biomolecule improved the anchoring efficiency of the metal precursor through precise functional groups;meanwhile,the binding-then-assembling strategy also effectively suppressed the nonspecific adsorption of metal ions,ultimately preventing atomic agglomeration and achieving strong electronic metal-support interactions(EMSIs).Experimental characterizations confirm that binding forms between cobalt metal and carbonized self-assembled substrate(Co–O_(4)–P).Theoretical calculations disclose that the local environment changes significantly tailored the Co d-band center,and optimized the binding energy of oxygenated intermediates and the energy barrier of oxygen release.As a result,the obtained Co SACs/cBSC catalyst can achieve remarkable OER activity and 24 h durability in 1 M KOH(η_(10) at 288 mV;Tafel slope of 44 mV dec^(-1)),better than other transition metal-based catalysts and commercial IrO_(2).Overall,we presented a self-assembly strategy to prepare transition metal SACs with strong EMSIs,providing a new avenue for the preparation of efficient catalysts with fine atomic structures.

文摘Inducing the classic strong metal-support interaction(SMSI)is an effective approach to enhance the performance of supported metal catalysts by encapsulating the metal nanoparticles(NPs)with supports.Conventional thermal reduction method for inducing SMSI processes is often accompanied by undesirable structural evolution of metal NPs.In this study,a mild electrochemical method has been developed as a new approach to induce SMSI,using the cable structured core@shell CNT@SnO_(2) loaded Pt NPs as a proof of concept.The induced SnO_(x) encapsulation layer on the surface of Pt NPs can protect Pt NPs from the poisoned of CO impurity in hydrogen oxidation reaction(HOR),and the HOR current density could still maintain 85% for 2000 s with 10,000 ppm CO in H_(2),while the commercial Pt/C is completely inactivated.In addition,the electrons transfer from SnO_(x) to Pt NPs improved the HOR activity of the E-Pt-CNT@SnO_(2),achieving the excellent exchange current density of 1.55 A·mgPt^(-1).In situ Raman spectra and theoretical calculations show that the key to the electrochemical-method-induced SMSI is the formation of defects and the migration of SnO_(x) caused by the electrochemical redox operation,and the weakening the SneO bond strength by Pt NPs.

文摘Precious metal-support interaction plays an important role in thermal stability and catalytic performance of the automotive exhaust catalysts. The support is not only a cartier for active compotmds in catalysts but also can improve the dispersion of precious metals and suppress the sintering of precious metals at high temperature; meanwhile, noble metals can also enhance the redox performance and oxygen storage capacity of support. The mechanism of metal-support interactions mainly includes electronic interaction, formation of alloy and inward diffusion of metal into the support or covered by support. The form and degree of precious metal-sup- port interaction depend on many factors, including the content of precious metal, the species of support and metal, and preparation methods. The research results about strong metal-support interaction （SMSI） gave a theory support for developing a kind of new cata- lyst with excellent performance. This paper reviewed the interaction phenomenon and mechanism of precious metals （Pt, Pd, Rh） and support such as A1203, CeO2, and CeO2-based oxides in automotive exhaust catalysts. The factors that affect SMSI and the catalysts developed by SMSI were also discussed.

文摘Supported metal catalysts play a vital role in the chemical industry, and the metal-support interaction is an important property of the catalyst. However, in the traditional impregnation method, it is difficult to obtain sufficient metal-support interactions owing to the mobility of the metal precursor during evaporation drying. Here, freeze drying is applied during impregnation instead of evaporation drying for enhancing the metal-support interactions. 57 Fe ZSM-5 was chosen as a representative catalyst. A quantitative analysis was conducted based on Mossbauer spectroscopy. Compared with traditional evaporation-drying catalyst, freeze-drying catalyst has stronger metal-support interactions. In addition, more iron species are confined in the channel and smaller metal sizes and less diversity are obtained. The compositional change is also proved because of the superior performance of the freeze-drying catalyst during N2O decomposition. This method can be extended to other supported metal catalysts prepared through an impregnation method, which can be used to tune the metal-support interactions and metal sizes.
