Materials Genes of CO 2 Hydrogenation on Supported Cobalt Catalysts: An Artificial Intelligence Approach Integrating Theoretical and Experimental Data. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:5433-5444. [PMID: 38374731 PMCID: PMC10910553 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.3c12984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
Designing materials for catalysis is challenging because the performance is governed by an intricate interplay of various multiscale phenomena, such as the chemical reactions on surfaces and the materials' restructuring during the catalytic process. In the case of supported catalysts, the role of the support material can be also crucial. Here, we address this intricacy challenge by a symbolic-regression artificial intelligence (AI) approach. We identify the key physicochemical parameters correlated with the measured performance, out of many offered candidate parameters characterizing the materials, reaction environment, and possibly relevant underlying phenomena. Importantly, these parameters are obtained by both experiments and ab initio simulations. The identified key parameters might be called "materials genes", in analogy to genes in biology: they correlate with the property or function of interest, but the explicit physical relationship is not (necessarily) known. To demonstrate the approach, we investigate the CO2 hydrogenation catalyzed by cobalt nanoparticles supported on silica. Crucially, the silica support is modified with the additive metals magnesium, calcium, titanium, aluminum, or zirconium, which results in six materials with significantly different performances. These systems mimic hydrothermal vents, which might have produced the first organic molecules on Earth. The key parameters correlated with the CH3OH selectivity reflect the reducibility of cobalt species, the adsorption strength of reaction intermediates, and the chemical nature of the additive metal. By using an AI model trained on basic elemental properties of the additive metals (e.g., ionization potential) as physicochemical parameters, new additives are suggested. The predicted CH3OH selectivity of cobalt catalysts supported on silica modified with vanadium and zinc is confirmed by new experiments.

Highly effective synthesis of novel structured phospholipid emulsifiers using magnetically recyclable Fe 3O 4@SiO 2/M (M = Zn or Al) composite. Food Chem 2024; 433:137313. [PMID: 37678122 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023]
Abstract
It is of great importance to develop a most efficient, recyclable, and ecofriendly process to produce novel structured phospholipid emulsifiers. Herein, innovative medium-chain structured phospholipid (MCSPL) emulsifiers were synthesized through transesterification of soybean lecithins with medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) promoted by Zn- or Al-incorporated Fe3O4@SiO2, denoted by Fe3O4@SiO2/M (M = Zn or Al). Resultingly, Fe3O4@SiO2/M (M = Zn or Al) exhibited the most superior reactivity with 97.1% or 88.7% MCFA incorporation to other benchmark catalysts and also had excellent magnetic separability and recyclability. Noticeably, targeted MCSPLs possessed almost more superior emulsifying properties to other phospholipid emulsifiers, and had potential for use as oil-in-water emulsifiers. Conclusively, the present findings demonstrate that transesterification promoted by Fe3O4@SiO2/M (M = Zn or Al) can be a promising approach for green, economic, and highly effective synthesis of novel dual-function phospholipid emulsifiers with bioactive and emulsifying properties in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

Effective Production of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural from Fructose over a Highly Active Sulfonic Acid Functionalized SBA-15 Catalyst. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
Utilizing sugar compounds (such as fructose) as feedstock for conversion to HMF is very appealing, because it makes the production processes sustainable and improves the economic viability of platform molecules derived from biomass. Here, SBA-15 with sulfonic acid functionalization was created as a heterogeneous base catalyst for fructose hydrolysis reactions to create significant platform chemicals. A fructose conversion rate as high as 100%, along with a 78.7% yield of HMF, were obtained in DMSO at 130 °C after 1 h. The excellent catalytic performance of SBA-15-SO3H in fructose hydrolysis reactions was confirmed by the activation energy’s low value (56.99 kJ/mol). The mild conditions, fast rate of reaction, and simple operation are worth mentioning for other catalysts. SBA-15-SO3H has the potential to promote fructose conversion at lower temperatures.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2022; 102:4714-4723.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Efficient and sustainable production of structured phospholipids (SPLs) enriched in medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) in a heterogeneous manner is crucial for their potential applications in functional foods and drugs. Herein, for the first time, Zn- and Al-incorporated SBA-15 silicas were prepared by the coprecipitation method and further researched for catalytic synthesis of MCFA-enriched SPLs through acidolysis reaction of natural phospholipids with capric or caprylic acid. RESULTS The as-prepared Zn- and Al-incorporated SBA-15 samples exhibited superior catalytic activities under mild experimental conditions (50 °C, 6 h) to commercial homogeneous Lewis acids and benchmark enzymes. Correspondingly, the capric acid and caprylic acid incorporations were respectively achieved up to ~40.25 ± 0.40% (or 35.08 ± 0.09%) and 37.26 ± 0.38% (or 33.02 ± 0.13%) for Zn- (or Al-) incorporated SBA-15 catalyst. Moreover, various methods such as scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and pyridine-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were utilized to characterize the two catalysts in order to elucidate the possible structure-performance relationship. Accordingly, the above-mentioned satisfactory results are most probably due to the well-ordered mesostructures and large amounts of active Lewis acid sites existing in the investigated materials. Noticeably, the two catalysts featured good separation and excellent recyclability as well. CONCLUSION The Zn- and Al-incorporated SBA-15 catalysts studied in this work might shed light on novel, sustainable and economic alternatives for effective SPL production to diminish the applications of conventional homogeneous catalysts and biocatalysts in food industries. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In recent years, structured phospholipids (SPLs), which are modified phospholipids (PLs), have attracted more attention due to their great potential for application in the field of pharmacy, food, cosmetics, and health. SPLs not only possess enhanced chemical, physical and nutritional properties, but also present superior bioavailability in comparison with other lipid forms, such as triacylglycerols, which make SPLs become more competitive carriers to increase the absorption of the specific fatty acids in the body. Compared with chemical-mediated SPLs, the process of enzyme-mediated SPLs has the advantages of high product variety, high substrate selectivity, and mild operation conditions. Both lipases and phospholipases can be used in the enzymatic production of SPLs, and the main reaction type contains esterification, acidolysis, and transesterification. During the preparation, reaction medium, acyl migration, water content/activity, substrates and enzymes, and some other parameters have significant effects on the production and purity of the desired PLs products. In this paper, the progress in enzymatic modification of PLs over the last 20 years is reviewed. Reaction types and characteristic parameters are summarized in detail and the parameters affecting acyl migration are first discussed to give the inspiration to optimize the enzyme-mediated SPLs preparation. To expand the application of enzyme-mediated SPLs in the future, the prospect of further study on SPLs is also proposed at the end of the paper.
