Abstract
Earth abundant transition metal nitrides (TMNs) are a promising group of catalysts for a wide range of thermocatalytic, electrocatalytic and photocatalytic reactions, with potential to achieve high activity and selectivity while reducing reliance on the use of Pt-group metals. However, current fundamental understanding of the active sites of these materials and the mechanisms by which selective transformations occur is somewhat lacking. Recent investigations of these materials from our group and others have utilized probe molecules, model surfaces, and in situ techniques to elucidate the origin of their activity, strong metal-support interactions, and unique d-band electronic structures. This Perspective discusses three classes of reactions for which TMNs have been used as case studies to highlight how these properties, along with synergistic interactions with metal overlayers, can be exploited to design active, selective and stable TMN catalysts. First, studies of the reactions of C1 molecules will be discussed, specifically highlighting the ability of TMNs to activate CO2. Second, the upgrading of biomass and biomass-derived oxygenates over TMN catalysts will be reviewed. Third, the use of TMNs for H2 production via water electrolysis will be discussed. Finally, we will discuss the challenges and future directions in the study of TMN catalysts, in particular expanding on opportunities to enhance fundamental mechanistic understanding using model surfaces, the elucidation of active centers via in situ techniques, and the development of efficient synthesis methods and design principles.

The Impact of Oxygen Surface Coverage and Carbidic Carbon on the Activity and Selectivity of Two-Dimensional Molybdenum Carbide (2D-Mo 2C) in Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis. ACS Catal 2024; 14:1834-1845. [PMID: 38327645 PMCID: PMC10845113 DOI: 10.1021/acscatal.3c03956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
Transformations of oxygenates (CO2, CO, H2O, etc.) via Mo2C-based catalysts are facilitated by the high oxophilicity of the material; however, this can lead to the formation of oxycarbides and complicate the identification of the (most) active catalyst state and active sites. In this context, the two-dimensional (2D) MXene molybdenum carbide Mo2CTx (Tx are passivating surface groups) contains only surface Mo sites and is therefore a highly suitable model catalyst for structure-activity studies. Here, we report that the catalytic activity of Mo2CTx in Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis increases with a decreasing coverage of surface passivating groups (mostly O*). The in situ removal of Tx species and its consequence on CO conversion is highlighted by the observation of a very pronounced activation of Mo2CTx (pretreated in H2 at 400 °C) under FT conditions. This activation process is ascribed to the in situ reductive defunctionalization of Tx groups reaching a catalyst state that is close to 2D-Mo2C (i.e., a material containing no passivating surface groups). Under steady-state FT conditions, 2D-Mo2C yields higher hydrocarbons (C5+ alkanes) with 55% selectivity. Alkanes up to the kerosine range form, with value of α = 0.87, which is ca. twice higher than the α value reported for 3D-Mo2C catalysts. The steady-state productivity of 2D-Mo2C to C5+ hydrocarbons is ca. 2 orders of magnitude higher relative to a reference β-Μo2C catalyst that shows no in situ activation under identical FT conditions. The passivating Tx groups of Mo2CTx can be reductively defunctionalized also by using a higher H2 pretreatment temperature of 500 °C. Yet, this approach leads to a removal of carbidic carbon (as methane), resulting in a 2D-Mo2C1-x catalyst that converts CO to CH4 with 61% selectivity in preference to C5+ hydrocarbons that are formed with only 2% selectivity. Density functional theory (DFT) results attribute the observed selectivity of 2D-Mo2C to C5+ alkanes to a higher energy barrier for the hydrogenation of surface alkyl species relative to the energy barriers for C-C coupling. The removal of O* is the rate-determining step in the FT reaction over 2D-Mo2C, and O* is favorably removed in the form of CO2 relative to H2O, consistent with the observation of a high CO2 selectivity (ca. 50%). The absence of other carbon oxygenates is explained by the energetic favoring of the direct over the hydrogen-assisted dissociative adsorption of CO.

Mo2C as Pre-Catalyst for the C-H Allylic Oxygenation of Alkenes and Terpenoids in the Presence of H2O2. ORGANICS 2022.

Abstract
In this study, commercially available molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) was used, in the presence of H2O2, as an efficient pre-catalyst for the selective C-H allylic oxygenation of several unsaturated molecules into the corresponding allylic alcohols. Under these basic conditions, an air-stable, molybdenum-based polyoxometalate cluster (Mo-POM) was formed in situ, leading to the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2), which is responsible for the oxygenation reactions. X-ray diffraction, SEM/EDX and HRMS analyses support the formation mainly of the Mo6O192− cluster. Following the proposed procedure, a series of cycloalkenes, styrenes, terpenoids and methyl oleate were successfully transformed into hydroperoxides. After subsequent reduction, the corresponding allylic alcohols were produced with good yields and in lab-scale quantities. A mechanistic study excluded a hydrogen atom transfer pathway and supported the twix-selective oxygenation of cycloalkenes on the more sterically hindered side via the 1O2 generation.

Abstract
Adsorption and interaction of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) molecules on the surface of bare Al-Mo(110) system and on that obtained by its in situ oxidation have been studied in ultra-high vacuum (base pressure: ca. 10−8 Pa) by means of Auger and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AES, XPS), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), reflection–absorption infrared and thermal desorption spectroscopy (RAIRS, TDS), and by the work function measurements. In order to achieve the Al-Mo(110) alloy the thin aluminum film of a few monolayers thick was in situ deposited onto the Mo(110) crystal and then annealed at 800 K. As a result of Al atoms diffusion into the Mo(110) subsurface region and the chemical reaction, the surface alloy of a hexagonal atomic symmetry corresponding to Al2Mo alloy is formed. The feature of thus formed surface alloy regarding molecular adsorption is that, unlike the bare Mo(110) and Al(111) substrates, on which both CO and NO dissociate, adsorption on the alloy surface is non-dissociative. Moreover, adsorption of carbon monoxide dramatically changes the state of pre-adsorbed NO molecules, displacing them to higher-coordinated adsorption sites and simultaneously tilting their molecular axis closer to the surface plane. After annealing of this coadsorbed system up to 320 K the (CO + NO → CO2 + N) reaction takes place resulting in carbon dioxide desorption into the gas phase and nitriding of the substrate. Such an enhancement of catalytic activity of Mo(110) upon alloying with Al is attributed to surface reconstruction resulting in appearance of new adsorption/reaction centers at the Al/Mo interface (steric effect), as well as to the Mo d-band filling upon alloying (electronic effect). Catalytic activity mounts further when the Al-Mo(110) is in situ oxidized. The obtained Al-Mo(110)-O ternary system is a prototype of a metal/oxide model catalysts featuring the metal oxides and the metal/oxide perimeter interfaces as a the most active reaction sites. As such, this type of low-cost metal alloy oxide models precious metal containing catalysts and can be viewed as a potential substitute to them.

Abstract
Early transitional metal carbides are promising catalysts for hydrogenation of CO2. Here, a two-dimensional (2D) multilayered 2D-Mo2C material is prepared from Mo2CTx of the MXene family. Surface termination groups Tx (O, OH, and F) are reductively de-functionalized in Mo2CTx (500 °C, pure H2) avoiding the formation of a 3D carbide structure. CO2 hydrogenation studies show that the activity and product selectivity (CO, CH4, C2–C5 alkanes, methanol, and dimethyl ether) of Mo2CTx and 2D-Mo2C are controlled by the surface coverage of Tx groups that are tunable by the H2 pretreatment conditions. 2D-Mo2C contains no Tx groups and outperforms Mo2CTx, β-Mo2C, or the industrial Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 catalyst in CO2 hydrogenation (evaluated by CO weight time yield at 430 °C and 1 bar). We show that the lack of surface termination groups drives the selectivity and activity of Mo-terminated carbidic surfaces in CO2 hydrogenation. The development of robust and efficient catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to value-added chemicals is an urgent task. Here the authors report two-dimensional carbide catalyst based on earth-abundant molybdenum that hydrogenates CO2 with high activity, stable performance and tunable selectivity.

Abstract
Developing efficient catalytic materials and unveiling the active species are significant for selective hydrogenation of CO2 to C2+ hydrocarbons. Fe2 N@C nanoparticles were reported to exhibit outstanding performance toward selective CO2 hydrogenation to C2+ hydrocarbons (C2+ selectivity: 53.96 %; C2 -C4 = selectivity, 31.03 %), outperforming corresponding Fe@C. In situ X-ray diffraction, ex situ Mössbauer and X-ray photoelectron spectra revealed that iron nitrides were in situ converted to highly active iron carbides, which acted as the real active species. Moreover, the combined results of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and control experiments suggested an in situ formed carbonyl iron-mediated conversion mechanism from iron nitrides to iron carbides.

Abstract
Transition metal carbides have been long proposed as replacements for expensive Pt-group transition metals as heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogenation reactions, featuring similar or superior activities and selectivities. Combining experimental observations and theoretical calculations, we show that the hydrogenating capabilities of molybdenum carbide can be further improved by nanostructuring, as seen on MoCy nanoclusters anchored on an inert Au(111) support, revealing a more prominent role of Mo active sites in the easier H2 adsorption, dissociation, H adatom diffusion, and elongated chemisorbed H2 Kubas moieties formation when compared to the bulk δ-MoC(001) surface, thus explaining the observed stronger H2 interaction and the larger formation of CHx species, making these systems ideal to catalyze hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract
In South Korea, where there are no resources such as natural gas or crude oil, research on alternative fuels has been actively conducted since the 1990s. The research on synthetic oil is subdivided into Coal to Liquid (CTL), Gas to Liquid (GTL), Biomass to Liquid (BTL), etc., and was developed with the focus on catalysts, their preparation, reactor types, and operation technologies according to the product to be obtained. In Fischer–Tropsch synthesis for synthetic oil from syngas, stability, CO conversion rate, and product selectivity of catalysts depends on the design of their components, such as their active material, promoter, and support. Most of the developed catalysts were Fe- and Co-based catalysts and were developed in spherical and cylindrical shapes according to the reactor type. Recently, hybrid catalysts in combination with cracking catalysts were developed to control the distribution of the product. In this review, we survey recent studies related to the design of catalysts for production of light hydrocarbons and middle distillates, including hybrid catalysts, encapsulated core–shell catalysts, catalysts with active materials with well-organized sizes and shapes, and catalysts with shape- and size-controlled supports. Finally, we introduce recent research and development (R&D) trends in the production of light hydrocarbons and middle distillates and in the catalytic processes being applied to the development of catalysts in Korea.

Abstract
In this perspective, we argue that transition metal carbides such as molybdenum and tungsten hold great potential for the catalytic conversions of future feedstocks due to their ability to remain active in the presence of impurities in the feedstock.
