Pyrolysis is a common method for materials synthesis in catalytic fields. Herein, Co-based nanocomposites derived from the pyrolysis of organic metal precursors and used for hydrolysis of boron hydride are summarized and discussed. The different precursors consisting of MOF, supported, metal, and metal phosphide precursors are summarized. The catalytic mechanism consisting of dissociation mechanism based on oxidative addition-reduction elimination, pre-activation mechanism, SN2 mechanism, four-membered ring mechanism, and acid-base mechanism is intensively discussed. Finally, conclusions and outlooks are conveyed from the design of high-efficiency catalysts, the characterization of catalyst structure, the enhancement of catalytic activities, the investigation of the catalytic mechanism, and the catalytic stability of active structure.

CoP/Co heterojunction on porous g-C 3N 4 nanosheets as a highly efficient catalyst for hydrogen generation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 658:22-31. [PMID: 38091795 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.12.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
Designing non-precious catalysts to synergistically achieve a facilitated exposure of abundant active sites is highly desired but remains a significant challenge. Herein, a hetero-structured catalyst CoP-Co supported on porous g-C3N4 nanosheets (CoP-Co/CN-I) was prepared by pyrolysis and P-inducing strategy. The optimal catalyst achieves a turnover frequency (TOF) of 26 min-1 at room temperature and the apparent activation energy (Ea) is 35.5 kJ·mol-1. The catalytic activity is ranked top among the non-precious metal phosphides or the other supports. Meanwhile, the catalytic activity has no significant decrease even after 5 cycles. The CoP/Co interfaces provide richly exposed active sites, optimize hydrogen/water absorption free energy via electronic coupling, and thus improve the catalytic activity. The experimental results reveal that the CoP/Co heterojunction improves the catalytic activity due to the construction of dual-active sites. This research facilitates the innovative construction of non-noble metal catalysts to meet industrial demand for heterogeneous catalysis.

Synthesis of Ilmenite Nickel Titanite-Supported Carbon Nanofibers Derived from Polyvinylpyrrolidone as Photocatalyst for H 2 Production from Ammonia Borane Photohydrolysis. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3262.

Abstract
The present study involves the synthesis of photocatalytic composite nanofibers (NFs) comprising ilmenite nickel titanite-supported carbon nanofibers (NiTiO3/TiO2@CNFs) using an electrospinning process. The photocatalytic composite NFs obtained were utilized in hydrogen (H2) production from the photohydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB). The experimental findings show that the photocatalytic composite NFs with a loading of 25 mg had a good catalytic performance for H2 generation, producing the stoichiometric H2 in 11 min using 1 mmol AB under visible light at 25 °C and 1000 rpm. The increase in catalyst load to 50, 75, and 100 mg leads to a corresponding reduction in the reaction time to 7, 5, and 4 min. The findings from the kinetics investigations suggest that the rate of the photohydrolysis reaction is directly proportional to the amount of catalyst in the reaction system, adhering to a first-order reaction rate. Furthermore, it was observed that the reaction rate remains unaffected by the concentration of AB, thereby suggesting a reaction of zero order. Increasing the reaction temperature results in a decrease in the duration of the photohydrolysis reaction. Furthermore, an estimated activation energy value of 35.19 kJ mol-1 was obtained. The composite nanofibers demonstrated remarkable and consistent effectiveness throughout five consecutive cycles. The results suggest that composite NFs possess the capacity to function as a feasible substitute for costly catalysts in the process of H2 generation from AB.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB), a liquid hydrogen storage material, has attracted increasing attention for hydrogen utilization because of its high hydrogen content. However, the slow kinetics of AB hydrolysis and the indefinite catalytic mechanism remain significant problems for its large-scale practical application. Thus, the development of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts and the determination of their catalytic mechanisms are significant and urgent. A summary of the preparation process and structural characteristics of various supported catalysts is presented in this paper, including graphite, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal oxides, carbon nitride (CN), molybdenum carbide (MoC), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), boron nitride (h-BN), zeolites, carbon dots (CDs), and metal carbide and nitride (MXene). In addition, the relationship between the electronic structure and catalytic performance is discussed to ascertain the actual active sites in the catalytic process. The mechanism of AB hydrolysis catalysis is systematically discussed, and possible catalytic paths are summarized to provide theoretical considerations for the designing of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts. Furthermore, three methods for stimulating AB from dehydrogenation by-products and the design of possible hydrogen product-regeneration systems are summarized. Finally, the remaining challenges and future research directions for the effective development of AB catalysts are discussed.

Abstract
Developing Cr-free and non-noble metal catalysts with high activity, selectivity and durability for chemoselective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol is highly desirable yet challenging. In this study, we design a hollow mesoporous Co-N-C@mSiO2 nanostructure derived from ZIF-67 via the encapsulation-pyrolysis strategy. The Co-N-C@mSiO2 catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic performance in the furfural hydrogenation towards furfuryl alcohol with good stability, and is much better than the Co-N-C catalyst originating from plain ZIF-67 and other reported transition metal catalysts. Characterization methods and control experiments show that Co-Nx species rather than Co metal should be catalytically active sites for the above reaction. The enhanced performance is associated with abundant Co-Nx active sites, good mass transport, and the SiO2 shell protection. This work provides a novel and facile strategy for preparing highly efficient non-precious metal catalysts to replace Cr-based and noble metal catalysts for furfural hydrogenation.

Abstract
The metal-oxide interface plays a crucial role in catalysis, and it has attracted increasing interest in recent years. Cu/SiO2, as a common copper-based catalyst, has been widely used in industrial catalysis. However, it is still a challenge to clarify the structures of the interface of Cu-SiOx and the effect on catalytic performance. Herein, we prepared ultrathin SiOx films by evaporating Si onto a Cu(111) surface followed by annealing in an O2 atmosphere, which were characterized by various surface science techniques. The results showed that a SiOx film could grow nearly layer-by-layer on the Cu(111) surface in the present condition. Both X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) results confirmed the presence of Cu-O-Si and Si-O-Si species. Thermal stability experiments illustrated that the well-ordered silica films were stable under annealing in vacuum. The feature of CO adsorption suggested a CO-Cuδ+ species induced from the Cuδ+-O-Si. Low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEIS) and XPS results demonstrated that some Cu2O appeared on the surface when the 1 ML SiOx/Cu(111) was exposed in O2 at 353 K.

Abstract
The structural design of multiple functional components could integrate synergistic effects to enhance the catalytic performance of MoS2-based composites for catalytic applications. Herein, one-dimensional (1D) Co-MoS2/Pd@NCMTs composites were designed to prepare Co-doped MoS2/Pd nanosheets (NSs) on N-doped carbon microtubes (NCMTs) from tubular polypyrrole (PPy) as multifunctional catalysts. The Co-MoS2/Pd@NCMTs composites integrated the synergistic effects of Co-doping, a 1D tubular structure, and noble-metal Pd decoration. Thus, a higher catalytic activity was observed in 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction and peroxidase-like catalysis than other components, such as MoS2, MoS2@NCMTs, and Co-MoS2@NCMTs. Remarkably, the results indicated that the dissolution, diffusion, and redistribution led to the dissolution of MoO3@ZIF-67 cores and generation of Co-doped MoS2 NSs. Benefiting from the synergistic effect from these components, Co-MoS2/Pd@NCMTs were considered as a facile colorimetric sensing platform for detecting tannic acid. Moreover, outstanding performance was realized in the reduction of 4-NP with the composites. Thus, we provide a simple synthetic strategy for simultaneously integrating electronic engineering and structural advantages to develop an efficient MoS2-based multifunctional catalyst.

Abstract
Many types of porous particles containing inorganic and organic substances, such as carbon, metals, metal oxides, inorganic-organic hybrids, and polymers, have been developed. However, natural polymer-derived particles are relatively rare. To our knowledge, this report describes the first synthetic method for obtaining meso-/macroporous particles made from pectin, which is a natural polymer with a wide range of biological activities suitable for active substance support applications. These porous particles were prepared using a template-assisted spray-drying method, followed by a chemical etching process. An organic template [i.e., poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)] or an inorganic template [i.e., calcium carbonate (CaCO3)] was used to evaluate the resulting formation of macroporous structures in the pectin particles. Furthermore, the concentration of the templates in the precursor solution was varied to better understand the mechanism of porous pectin particle formation. The results showed that the final porous particles maintained the characteristic properties of pectin. The differences between the two templates resulted in two distinct types of porous particles that differed in their particle morphologies (i.e., spherical or wrinkled), particle sizes (ranging from 3 to 8 μm), pore sizes (ranging from 80 to 350 nm), and pore volume (ranging from 0.024 to 1.40 cm3 g-1). Especially, the porous pectin particles using the CaCO3 template have a significantly high specific surface area of 171.2 m2 g-1, which is 114 times higher than that of nonporous pectin particles. These data demonstrated the potential for using PMMA and CaCO3 templates to control and design desired porous materials.

Abstract
Hydrogen is the most effective and sustainable carrier of clean energy, and liquid-phase hydrogen storage materials with high hydrogen content, reversibility and good dehydrogenation kinetics are promising in view of "hydrogen economy". Efficient, low-cost, safe and selective hydrogen generation from chemical storage materials remains challenging, however. In this Review article, an overview of the recent achievements is provided, addressing the topic of nanocatalysis of hydrogen production from liquid-phase hydrogen storage materials including metal-boron hydrides, borane-nitrogen compounds, and liquid organic hydrides. The state-of-the-art catalysts range from high-performance nanocatalysts based on noble and non-noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) to emerging single-atom catalysts. Key aspects that are discussed include insights into the dehydrogenation mechanisms, regenerations from the spent liquid chemical hydrides, and tandem reactions using the in situ generated hydrogen. Finally, challenges, perspectives, and research directions for this area are envisaged.

Abstract
Hydrogen has emerged as an environmentally attractive fuel and a promising energy carrier for future applications to meet the ever-increasing energy challenges. The safe and efficient storage and release of hydrogen remain a bottleneck for realizing the upcoming hydrogen economy. Hydrogen storage based on liquid-phase chemical hydrogen storage materials is one of the most promising hydrogen storage techniques, which offers considerable potential for large-scale practical applications for its excellent safety, great convenience, and high efficiency. Recently, nanopore-supported metal nanocatalysts have stood out remarkably in boosting the field of liquid-phase chemical hydrogen storage. Herein, the latest research progress in catalytic hydrogen production is summarized, from liquid-phase chemical hydrogen storage materials, such as formic acid, ammonia borane, hydrous hydrazine, and sodium borohydride, by using metal nanocatalysts confined within diverse nanoporous materials, such as metal-organic frameworks, porous carbons, zeolites, mesoporous silica, and porous organic polymers. The state-of-the-art synthetic strategies and advanced characterizations for these nanocatalysts, as well as their catalytic performances in hydrogen generation, are presented. The limitation of each hydrogen storage system and future challenges and opportunities on this subject are also discussed. References in related fields are provided, and more developments and applications to achieve hydrogen energy will be inspired.

Abstract
Ammonia borane H3N−BH3 (AB) was re-discovered, in the 2000s, to play an important role in the developing hydrogen economy, but it has seemingly failed; at best it has lagged behind. The present review aims at analyzing, in the context of more than 300 articles, the reasons why AB gives a sense that it has failed as an anodic fuel, a liquid-state hydrogen carrier and a solid hydrogen carrier. The key issues AB faces and the key challenges ahead it has to address (i.e., those hindering its technological deployment) have been identified and itemized. The reality is that preventable errors have been made. First, some critical issues have been underestimated and thereby understudied, whereas others have been disproportionally considered. Second, the potential of AB has been overestimated, and there has been an undoubted lack of realistic and practical vision of it. Third, the competition in the field is severe, with more promising and cheaper hydrides in front of AB. Fourth, AB has been confined to lab benches, and consequently its technological readiness level has remained low. This is discussed in detail herein.

Abstract
We focus on the recent advances in non-noble metal catalyst design, synthesis and applications in dehydrogenation of chemical hydrides (e.g. NaBH4, NH3BH3, NH3, N2H4, N2H4BH3) due to their high hydrogen contents and CO-free H2 production.
