In this study, three kinds of Pd/AC catalysts were prepared and tested to investigate the synergistic efficiency between adsorption and catalysis for o-xylene removal. The Pd/AC catalyst was first used as an adsorbent to concentrate dilute o-xylene at low temperature. After saturated adsorption, the adsorbed o-xylene was oxidized to CO2 and H20 by raising the temperature of the catalyst bed. The results showed that more than 99% of the adsorbed o-xylene was completely oxidized to CO2 over a 5% Pd/AC catalyst at 140℃. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), temperatureprogrammed desorption (TPD), and temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) were applied to investigate the physical properties of o-xylene adsorption-desorption and the in situ adsorption-catalysis activity of the AC support and Pd/AC catalyst. A synergistic relationship between the AC support and the active Pd species for the removal of low concentrations of o-xylene was established.展开更多

The challenge is to obtain a highly active catalyst under mild conditions for practical applications. Here atomic layer deposition (ALD) of FeOx was performed to deposit an ultrathin oxide coating layer to a Pd/C catalyst, therein the FeOx coverage was precisely controlled by ALD cycles. Transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction measurements suggest that the FeOx coating layer improved the thermal stability of Pd nanoparticles (NPs). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement showed that deposition of FeOx on the Pd NPs caused a positive shift of Pd3d binding energy. In the FA dehydrogenation reaction, the ultrathin FeOx layer on the Pd/C could considerably improve the catalytic activity, and Pd/C coated with 8 cycles of FeOx showed an optimized activity with turnover frequency being about 2 times higher than the uncoated one. shape as a function of the number of FeOx ALD The improved activities were in a volcanocycles, indicating the coverage of FeOx is critical for the optimized activity. In summary, simultaneous improvements of activity and thermal stability of Pd/C catalyst by ultra-thin FeOx overlayer suggest to be an effective way to design active catalysts for the FA dehydrogenation reaction.展开更多

It was found that the above catalysts have good catalytic hydrogenation activity for carbon - carbon double bonds systems and reusability. Furthermore, XPS and IR spectra shouted that active component in the composite catalysts is atomic Pd(0). An addition of a small amount of Fe2O3 has a promotive action upon hydrogenation activity of the catalysts, which indicated that there are some strong interactions (electron transfer) between Pd(0) and Fe(Ⅲ) species. Based on these results, a possible catalytic hydrogenation mechanism was also suggested.展开更多

文摘A multifunctional porous organic polymer of POP-Nixantphos-PPh_(3)-PhSO_(3)Na was prepared by free radical tricopolymerization.Further loading of Pd(OAc)2 led to the catalyst of Pd/POP-Nixantphos-PPh_(3)-PhSO_(3)Na.In this catalyst,Nixantphos ligand moieties were employed to enhance the catalytic hydrocarboxylation activity of palladium.Additionally,PPh_(3)ligand moieties were utilized to construct a porous framework of catalyst that facilitated the dispersion of Pd nanoparticles as well as the diffusion of reactants and products.Furthermore,the incorporation of PhSO_(3)Na moieties improved the hydrophilicity of the support.With H_(2)O as the reaction solvent,under the initial CO pressure of 0.1 MPa,Pd/POP-Nixantphos-PPh3-PhSO3Na-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of alkynes to afford the correspondingα,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids in good yields(76%~96%).Various alkynes,such as diaromatic alkynes,arylalkyl alkynes and dialkyl alkynes,worked well in the process.Additionally,the catalyst showed excellent recyclability with no significant yield loss over five cycles.

文摘In the current study simultaneous reactions of hydrodesulfurization(HDS) of dibenzothiophene(DBT) and reforming of methanol in a micro-autoclave reactor were studied over bi-metallic(Co-Mo/Al2O3 and Ni-Mo/Al2O3) and tri-metallic(Pd-Co-Mo/Al2O3 and Pd-Ni-Mo/Al2O3) catalyst systems which were prepared by incipient impregnation method.In situ hydrogen utilization and low Pd loadings were the major targets of this study.For comparison purpose,catalytic activity was separately determined for both the methanol reforming and HDS of DBT reactions as well.Ni based catalysts were confirmed with better activity than Co ones for both the reactions with Pd promoted ones ranking at the top i.e.Pd-Ni-Mo/Al2O3 > Ni-Mo/Al2O3 > Pd-Co-Mo/Al2O3 > Co-Mo/Al2O3 where Pd-Ni-Mo/Al2O3 showed 91% DBT conversion at 380 ℃ and 12 h reaction time.Some of the selected organic additives on catalytic activity were tested for their effect toward HDS reaction which was unique with close relation to their chemical nature.Reaction products were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed via HPLC and GC-MS techniques respectively which helped in elucidating reaction mechanism.

文摘In this study,supported Pd catalysts were prepared and used as heterogeneous catalysts for the activation of peroxymonosulfate(PMS)which successfully degrade bisphenol F(BPF).Among the supported catalysts(i.e.,Pd/SiO_(2),Pd/CeO_(2),Pd/TiO_(2)and Pd/Al2O3),Pd/TiO_(2)exhibited the highest catalytic activity due to the high isoelectric point and high Pd0 content.Pd/TiO_(2)prepared by the deposition method leads to high Pd dispersion,which are the key factors for efficient BPF degradation.The influencing factors were investigated during the reaction process and two possible degradation pathways were proposed.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations demonstrate that stronger BPF adsorption and BPF degradation with lower reaction barrier occurs on smaller Pd particles.The catalytic activities are strongly dependent on the structural features of the catalysts.Both experiments and theoretical calculations prove that the reaction is actuated by electron transfer rather than radicals.

文摘Pd-based catalysts have been extensively studied in the catalytic oxidation of methane,but their longterm stability and water resistance are unsatisfactory as the active sites are susceptible to water toxicity.The addition of Pt to Pd-based catalysts is found to be the most effective and promising method.However,distinct states of existence of Pt can affect the catalytic performance to different degrees,even negatively.Therefore,the impact mechanism of Pt on Pd-based catalysts needs to be further understood.In this work,A-site defective La_(0.9)AlO_(x)perovskite was used as a support,and the state of Pt in catalysts was regulated by adjusting the introducing sequence of Pd and Pt,It is found that only when Pt is introduced preferentially,the activity and water resistance of the bimetal can be improved.Combining a series of characterization results of the fresh catalysts,reduced catalysts,and the samples after reduction and use,it is found that the higher Pt^(2+)content in the catalyst is the main reason for promoting bimetallic properties,while more Pt0has an inhibitory effect.This work provides a new understanding of the promotion effect of Pt on Pd-Pt bimetal in the catalytic oxidation reaction of methane.

文摘Electrocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production is a key approach to tackling the current energy crisis.Among the catalysts,the traditional Pd@C catalysts are remarkable for their efficiency in hydrogen evolution.However,the high cost and scarcity of Pd catalysts,as well as the instability caused by the corrosiveness of carbon-based substrates,hinder their large-scale application.To overcome this challenge,an effective strategy is to construct highly dispersed Pd single atoms to improve palladium utilization and choose more stable materials as supports.In this study,TiO_(2-x)carriers with abundant oxygen vacancies were prepared and loaded with Pd by photoreduction deposition.Adjusting the palladium content resulted in three forms of Pd-loaded TiO_(2-x):nanoparticles(Pd@TiO_(2-x)(6%,10%)),nanoclusters(Pd@TiO_(2-x)(3%))and single atoms(Pd@TiO_(2-x)(1.5%)).The oxygen vacancies improved the stability of the titanium dioxide materials by providing more active hydrogen adsorption sites and increasing the affinity of Pd for active hydrogen.Single atom loading increased the frequency of oxygen holes in the support and the high activity of monatomic Pd promoted the adsorption of active hydrogen and facilitated the formation of active hydrogen intermediates.The synergistic effect of single atoms and oxygen vacancies improved the stability and catalytic activity of the composite material.Pd@TiO_(2-x)(1.5%)showed outstanding performance in hydrogen evolution in an acidic medium with an overpotential of only 24 m V at a current density of 10 m A/cm^(2)and a low Tafel rise of 41.9 m V/dec.This study provides an effective strategy for the development of high-performance hydrogen evolution(HER)catalysts.
文摘A series of polymer- supported Pd -Fe2O3 composite catalysts were prepared and their hydrogenation property mas investigated. It was found that the above catalysts have good catalytic hydrogenation activity for carbon - carbon double bonds systems and reusability. Furthermore, XPS and IR spectra shouted that active component in the composite catalysts is atomic Pd(0). An addition of a small amount of Fe2O3 has a promotive action upon hydrogenation activity of the catalysts, which indicated that there are some strong interactions (electron transfer) between Pd(0) and Fe(Ⅲ) species. Based on these results, a possible catalytic hydrogenation mechanism was also suggested.

文摘A robust bulky bornylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-ylidene allylic Pd complex was synthesized and well characterized.DFT calculations indicated that the ligand acts as a strongσ-donor andπ-acceptor endowing the active Pd(0)center with high electron density and good coordination towards olefin.The introduction of a bulky,rigid bornyl ring further improved the catalytic efficacy due to the matched steric effects.This catalyst showed high efficiency and versatility in theα-arylation and Heck cyclization/Suzuki crosscoupling reactions at mild reaction conditions.Desired 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles,especially featuring an allylic-derived C3-quaternary stereocenter were obtained in high yields.Furthermore,the concise synthesis of bioactive heterocycle-fused indoline alkaloids was successfully proved.

文摘Zeolites are a promising support for Pd catalysts in leanmethane(CH_(4))combustion.Herein,three types of zeolites(H-MOR,H-ZSM-5 and H-Y)were selected to estimate their structural effects and deactivation mechanisms in CH_(4)combustion.We show that variations in zeolite structure and surface acidity led to distinct changes in Pd states.Pd/H-MOR with external high-dispersing Pd nanoparticles exhibited the best apparent activity,with activation energy(Ea)at 73 kJ/mol,while Pd/H-ZSM-5 displayed the highest turnover frequency(TOF)at 19.6×10^(−3)sec^(−1),presumably owing to its large particles with more step sites providing active sites in one particle for CH_(4)activation.Pd/H-Y with dispersed PdO within pore channels and/or Pd2+ions on ion-exchange sites yielded the lowest apparent activity and TOF.Furthermore,Pd/H-MOR and Pd/H-ZSM-5 were both stable under a dry condition,but introducing 3 vol.%H_(2)O caused the CH_(4)conversion rate on Pd/H-MOR drop from 100%to 63%and that on Pd/H-ZSM-5 decreased remarkably from 82%to 36%.The former was shown to originate fromzeolite structural dealumination,and the latter principally owed to Pd aggregation and the loss of active PdO.
