Abstract
Achieving active site engineering at the atomic level poses a significant challenge in the design and optimization of catalysts for energy-efficient catalytic processes, especially for a reaction with two reactants competitively absorbed on catalytic active sites. Herein, we show an example that tailoring the local environment of cobalt sites in a robust metal-organic framework through substituting the bridging atom from -Cl to -OH group leads to a highly active catalyst for oxygen activation in an oxidation reaction. Comprehensive characterizations reveal that this variation imparts drastic changes on the electronic structure of metal centers, the competitive reactant adsorption behavior, and the intermediate formation. As a result, exceptional low-temperature CO oxidation performance was achieved with T25(Temperature for 25 % conversion)=35 °C and T100 (Temperature for 100 % conversion)=150 °C, which stands out from existing MOF-based catalysts and even rivals many noble metal catalysts. This work provides a guidance for the rational design of catalysts for efficient oxygen activation for an oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Structure sensitivity in heterogeneous catalysis dictates the overall activity and selectivity of a catalyst whose origins lie in the atomic configurations of the active sites. We explored the influence of the active site geometry on the dissociation activity of CO by investigating the electronic structure of CO adsorbed on 12 different Co sites and correlating its electronic structure features to the corresponding C-O dissociation barrier. By including the electronic structure analyses of CO adsorbed on step-edge sites, we expand upon the current models that primarily pertain to flat sites. The most important descriptors for activation of the C-O bond are the decrease in electron density in CO's 1π orbital , the occupation of 2π anti-bonding orbitals and the redistribution of electrons in the 3σ orbital. The enhanced weakening of the C-O bond that occurs when CO adsorbs on sites with a step-edge motif as compared to flat sites is caused by a distancing of the 1π orbital with respect to Co. This distancing reduces the electron-electron repulsion with the Co d-band. These results deepen our understanding of the electronic phenomena that enable the breaking of a molecular bond on a metal surface.

Abstract
The direct catalytic conversion of atmospheric CO2 to valuable chemicals is a promising solution to avert negative consequences of rising CO2 concentration. However, heterogeneous catalysts efficient at low partial pressures of CO2 still need to be developed. Here, we explore Co/CeO2 as a catalyst for the methanation of diluted CO2 streams. This material displays an excellent performance at reaction temperatures as low as 175 °C and CO2 partial pressures as low as 0.4 mbar (the atmospheric CO2 concentration). To gain mechanistic understanding of this unusual activity, we employed in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and operando infrared spectroscopy. The higher surface concentration and reactivity of formates and carbonyls-key reaction intermediates-explain the superior activity of Co/CeO2 as compared to a conventional Co/SiO2 catalyst. This work emphasizes the catalytic role of the cobalt-ceria interface and will aid in developing more efficient CO2 hydrogenation catalysts.

Abstract
In this study, a core–shell catalyst based on Fe5C2@ZSM-5 (ZSM-5 capped Fe5C2 as active phase) is prepared by the coating-carbonization method for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS). Further, the designed ZSM-5 zeolites are utilized to screen the low carbon hydrocarbons from the products generated on the iron carbide active centre, and for catalytic disassembly of the long-chain hydrocarbons into low carbon olefins. Prior to utilization, the physical–chemical properties of the prepared catalysts are systematically characterized by various techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations, in addition to the effects of coating-carbonization, molecular sieve coating amount, and K-doping on core–shell iron-based catalysts. Next, the performance of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis is investigated in a micro-fixed bed reactor. The results manifest that, comparing with Fe5C2 and a supported Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst prepared by the traditional impregnation method, the core–shell Fe5C2@ZSM-5 catalysts show higher CO conversion rate, reaction activity and selectivity to low-carbon olefins. Comparatively, the Fe5C2@ZSM-5C catalyst prepared by carbonization after the coating method exhibited more surface area, smaller average pore size, and more reactive active sites, resulting in the improvement of screening of high carbon hydrocarbons and the enhancement of selectivity to low carbon olefins, in comparison to those prepared by the carbonization-coating method. In conclusion, the K-doping catalyst had significantly improved the reactive activity of the core–shell Fe5C2@ZSM-5 catalyst and the selectivity to low carbon olefins, while the CO conversion on K–Fe5C2@ZSM-20C still remained good. In this study, a core–shell catalyst based on Fe5C2@ZSM-5 (ZSM-5 capped Fe5C2 as active phase) is prepared by the coating-carbonization method for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS).![]()

Abstract
One of the well-known observations in the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction is that the CH4 selectivity for cobalt catalysts is always higher than the value expected on the basis of the Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF) distribution. Depositing graphitic carbon on a cobalt catalyst strongly suppresses this non-ASF CH4, while the formation of higher hydrocarbons is much less affected. Carbon was laid down on the cobalt catalyst via the Boudouard reaction. We provide evidence that the amorphous carbon does not influence the FT reaction, as it can be easily hydrogenated under reaction conditions. Graphitic carbon is rapidly formed and cannot be removed. This unreactive form of carbon is located on terrace sites and mainly decreases the CO conversion by limiting CH4 formation. Despite nearly unchanged higher hydrocarbon yield, the presence of graphitic carbon enhances the chain-growth probability and strongly suppresses olefin hydrogenation. We demonstrate that graphitic carbon will slowly deposit on the cobalt catalysts during CO hydrogenation, thereby influencing CO conversion and the FT product distribution in a way similar to that for predeposited graphitic carbon. We also demonstrate that the buildup of graphitic carbon by 13CO increases the rate of C-C coupling during the 12C3H6 hydrogenation reaction, whose products follow an ASF-type product distribution of the FT reaction. We explain these results by a two-site model on the basis of insights into structure sensitivity of the underlying reaction steps in the FT mechanism: carbon formed on step-edge sites is involved in chain growth or can migrate to terrace sites, where it is rapidly hydrogenated to CH4. The primary olefinic FT products are predominantly hydrogenated on terrace sites. Covering the terraces by graphitic carbon increases the residence time of CH x intermediates, in line with decreased CH4 selectivity and increased chain-growth rate.

Abstract

The
mechanism of CO hydrogenation to CH4 at 260 °C
on a cobalt catalyst is investigated using steady-state isotopic transient
kinetic analysis (SSITKA) and backward and forward chemical transient
kinetic analysis (CTKA). The dependence of CHx residence time is determined by 12CO/H2 → 13CO/H2 SSITKA as a function of the
CO and H2 partial pressure and shows that the CH4 formation rate is mainly controlled by CHx hydrogenation rather than CO dissociation. Backward CO/H2 → H2 CTKA emphasizes the importance of
H coverage on the slow CHx hydrogenation
step. The H coverage strongly depends on the CO coverage, which is
directly related to CO partial pressure. Combining SSITKA and backward
CTKA allows determining that the amount of additional CH4 obtained during CTKA is nearly equal to the amount of CO adsorbed
to the cobalt surface. Thus, under the given conditions overall barrier
for CO hydrogenation to CH4 under methanation condition
is lower than the CO adsorption energy. Forward CTKA measurements
reveal that O hydrogenation to H2O is also a relatively
slow step compared to CO dissociation. The combined transient kinetic
data are used to fit an explicit microkinetic model for the methanation
reaction. The mechanism involving direct CO dissociation represents
the data better than a mechanism in which H-assisted CO dissociation
is assumed. Microkinetics simulations based on the fitted parameters
confirms that under methanation conditions the overall CO consumption
rate is mainly controlled by C hydrogenation and to a smaller degree
by O hydrogenation and CO dissociation. These simulations are also
used to explore the influence of CO and H2 partial pressure
on possible rate-controlling steps.

Abstract
![]()
Fischer–Tropsch
(FT) synthesis is one of the most complex
catalyzed chemical reactions in which the chain-growth mechanism that
leads to formation of long-chain hydrocarbons is not well understood
yet. The present work provides deeper insight into the relation between
the kinetics of the FT reaction on a silica-supported cobalt catalyst
and the composition of the surface adsorbed layer. Cofeeding experiments
of 12C3H6 with 13CO/H2 evidence that CHx surface intermediates
are involved in chain growth and that chain growth is highly reversible.
We present a model-based approach of steady-state isotopic transient
kinetic analysis measurements at FT conditions involving hydrocarbon
products containing up to five carbon atoms. Our data show that the
rates of chain growth and chain decoupling are much higher than the
rates of monomer formation and chain termination. An important corollary
of the microkinetic model is that the fraction of free sites, which
is mainly determined by CO pressure, has opposing effects on CO consumption
rate and chain-growth probability. Lower CO pressure and more free
sites leads to increased CO consumption rate but decreased chain-growth
probability because of an increasing ratio of chain decoupling over
chain growth. The preferred FT condition involves high CO pressure
in which chain-growth probability is increased at the expense of the
CO consumption rate.

Abstract
The way in which the triple bond in CO dissociates, a key reaction step in the Fischer–Tropsch (FT) reaction, is a subject of intense debate. Direct CO dissociation on a Co catalyst was probed by 12C16O/13C18O scrambling in the absence and presence of H2. The initial scrambling rate without H2 was significantly higher than the rate of CO consumption under CO hydrogenation conditions, which indicated that the surface contained sites sufficiently reactive to dissociate CO without the assistance of H atoms. Only a small fraction of the surface was involved in CO scrambling. The minor influence of CO scrambling and CO residence time on the partial pressure of H2 showed that CO dissociation was not affected by the presence of H2. The positive H2 reaction order was correlated to the fact that the hydrogenation of adsorbed C and O atoms was slower than CO dissociation. Temperature‐programmed in situ IR spectroscopy underpinned the conclusion that CO dissociation does not require H atoms.
