Multivariate Bayesian Optimization of CoO Nanoparticles for CO 2 Hydrogenation Catalysis. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:14246-14259. [PMID: 38728108 PMCID: PMC11117399 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c03789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
The hydrogenation of CO2 holds promise for transforming the production of renewable fuels and chemicals. However, the challenge lies in developing robust and selective catalysts for this process. Transition metal oxide catalysts, particularly cobalt oxide, have shown potential for CO2 hydrogenation, with performance heavily reliant on crystal phase and morphology. Achieving precise control over these catalyst attributes through colloidal nanoparticle synthesis could pave the way for catalyst and process advancement. Yet, navigating the complexities of colloidal nanoparticle syntheses, governed by numerous input variables, poses a significant challenge in systematically controlling resultant catalyst features. We present a multivariate Bayesian optimization, coupled with a data-driven classifier, to map the synthetic design space for colloidal CoO nanoparticles and simultaneously optimize them for multiple catalytically relevant features within a target crystalline phase. The optimized experimental conditions yielded small, phase-pure rock salt CoO nanoparticles of uniform size and shape. These optimized nanoparticles were then supported on SiO2 and assessed for thermocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation against larger, polydisperse CoO nanoparticles on SiO2 and a conventionally prepared catalyst. The optimized CoO/SiO2 catalyst consistently exhibited higher activity and CH4 selectivity (ca. 98%) across various pretreatment reduction temperatures as compared to the other catalysts. This remarkable performance was attributed to particle stability and consistent H* surface coverage, even after undergoing the highest temperature reduction, achieving a more stable catalytic species that resists sintering and carbon occlusion.

Ultrafine Ni-MoO x Nanoparticles Anchored on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanosheets: A Highly Efficient Noble-Metal-Free Catalyst for Ammonia Borane Hydrolysis. CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202400415.

Abstract
The development of low-cost and high-efficiency catalysts for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB, NH3BH3) is still a challenging technology. Herein, ultrafine MoOx-doped Ni nanoparticles (~3.0 nm) were anchored on g-C3N4@glucose-derived nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets via a phosphate-mediated method. The strong adsorption of phosphate-mediated nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (PNCS) for metal ions is a key factor for the preparation of ultrasmall Ni nanoparticles (NPs). Notably, the alkaline environment formed by the reduction of metal ions removes the phosphate from the PNCS surface to generate P-free (P)NCS so that the phosphate does not participate in the subsequent catalytic reaction. The synthesized Ni-MoOx/(P)NCS catalysts exhibited outstanding catalytic properties for the hydrolysis of AB, with a high turnover frequency (TOF) value of up to 85.7 min-1, comparable to the most efficient noble-metal-free catalysts and commercial Pt/C catalyst ever reported for catalytic hydrogen production from AB hydrolysis. The superior performance of Ni-MoOx/(P)NCS can be ascribed to its well-dispersed ultrafine metal NPs, abundant surface basic sites, and electron-rich nickel species induced by strong electronic interactions between Ni-MoOx and (P)NCS. The strategy of combining multiple modification measures adopted in this study provides new insights into the development of economical and high-efficiency noble-metal-free catalysts for energy catalysis applications.

Abstract
Brain tumors, including primary gliomas and brain metastases, are one of the deadliest tumors because effective macromolecular antitumor drugs cannot easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-brain tumor barrier (BTB). Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are considered the most suitable nanocarriers for the delivery of brain tumor drugs because of their unique properties compared to other nanoparticles. Numerous preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the potential of these nanoparticles in magnetic targeting, nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic thermal therapy, and ultrasonic hyperthermia. To further develop and optimize MNPs for the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, we attempt to outline recent advances in the use of MNPs to deliver drugs, with a particular focus on their efficacy in the delivery of anti-brain tumor drugs based on magnetic targeting and low-intensity focused ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging for surgical real-time guidance, and magnetothermal and ultrasonic hyperthermia therapy. Furthermore, we summarize recent findings on the clinical application of MNPs and the research limitations that need to be addressed in clinical translation.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the successful synthesis of Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite particles through the application of ultrasound-assisted precipitation using the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique. They were collected in a water suspension with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the stabiliser. The presence of the Y2O3 core and Ni shell was confirmed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and with electron diffraction. The TEM observations revealed the formation of round particles with an average diameter of 466 nm, while the lattice parameter on the Ni particle's surface was measured to be 0.343 nm. The Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite particle suspensions were lyophilized, to obtain a dried material that was suitable for embedding into a polylactic acid (PLA) matrix. The resulting PLA/Ni/Y2O3 composite material was extruded, and the injection was moulded successfully. Flexural testing of PLA/Ni/Y2O3 showed a slight average decrease (8.55%) in flexural strength and a small decrease from 3.7 to 3.3% strain at the break, when compared to the base PLA. These findings demonstrate the potential for utilising Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite particles in injection moulding applications and warrant further exploration of their properties and new applications in various fields.

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
The ideal methods for the preparation of semiconductors should be reproducible and possess the ability to control the morphology of the particles with monodispersity yields. Apart from that, it is also crucial to synthesize a large quantity of desired materials with good control of size, shape, morphology, crystallinity, composition, and surface chemistry at a reasonably low production cost. Metal oxides and chalcogenides with various morphologies and crystal structures have been obtained using different anion metal precursors (and/or different sulfur sources for chalcogenides in particular) through typical synthesis methods. Generally, spherical particles are obtained as it is thermodynamically favorable. However, by changing the anion precursor salts, the morphology of a semiconductor is influenced. Therefore, precursors having different anions show some effects on the final forms of a semiconductor. This review compiled and discussed the effects of anions (NO3−, Cl−, SO42-, CH3COO−, CH(CH3)O−, etc.) and different sources of S2- on the morphology and crystal structure of selected metal oxides and chalcogenides respectively.

Abstract
BN/CC isosterism has been widely investigated as a strategy to expand carbon-based compounds. The introduction of BN units in organic molecules always results in novel properties. In this work, we reported the first synthesis and characterization of 1,6;2,3-bis-BN cyclohexane, an isostere of cyclohexane with two adjacent BN pairs. Its ring flipping barrier is similar to that of cyclohexane. Protic hydrogens on N in 1,6;2,3-bis-BN cyclohexane show higher reactivity than its isomeric bis-BN cyclohexane. This compound exhibits an appealing hydrogen storage capability of >9.0 wt %, nearly twice as much as the 1,2;4,5-bis-BN cyclohexane.

Abstract
The Ni/Y2O3 catalyst showed high catalytic activity. Based on this, the aim of this study was to create Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposites powder with two innovative technologies, Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis (USP) and lyophilisation. In the USP process, thermal decomposition of the generated aerosols in an N2/H2 reduction atmosphere caused a complete decomposition of the nickel (II) nitrate to elemental Ni, which became trapped on the formed Y2O3 nanoparticles. The Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite particles were captured via gas washing in an aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in collection bottles. PVP was chosen for its ability to stabilise nano-suspensions and as an effective cryoprotectant. Consequently, there was no loss or agglomeration of Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite material during the lyophilisation process. The Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite powder was analysed using ICP-MS, SEM-EDX, and XPS, which showed the impact of different precursor concentrations on the final Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite particle composition. In a final step, highly concentrated Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite ink (Ni/Y2O3 > 0.140 g/mL) and test coatings from this ink were prepared by applying them on a white matte photo paper sheet. The reflection curve of the prepared Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite coating showed a local maximum at 440 nm with a value of 39% reflection. Given that Ni is located on the surface of the Ni/Y2O3 nanocomposite in the elemental state and according to the identified properties, tests of the catalytic properties of this coating will be performed in the future.

Abstract
Developing economical and efficient catalyst for hydrogen generation from ammonia borane (AB) hydrolysis is still a huge challenge. As an alternative strategy, the functional group regulation of metal nanoparticles (NPs)-based catalysts is believed to be capable of improving the catalytic activity. Herein, a series of Ni/Ti3C2Tx-Y (Tx = F, -OH; Y denotes etching time (d)) catalysts are synthesized and show remarkably enhanced catalytic activity on the hydrolysis of AB in contrast to the corresponding without regulating. The optimized Ni/Ti3C2Tx-4 with a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 161.0 min-1 exhibits the highest catalytic activity among the non-noble monometallic-based catalyst. Experimental results and theory calculations demonstrate that the excellent catalytic activity benefits from the bimolecular activation channels formed by Ni NPs and Ti3C2Tx-Y. H2O and AB molecules are activated simultaneously in the bimolecular activation tunnel. Bimolecular activation reduces the activation energy of AB hydrolysis, and hydrogen generation rate is promoted. This article provides a new approach to design effective catalysts and further supports the bimolecular activation model for the hydrolysis of AB.

Abstract
Dihydrogen is one of the sustainable energy vectors envisioned for the future. However, the rapidly reversible and secure storage of large quantities of hydrogen is still a technological and scientific challenge. In this context, this review proposes a recent state-of-the-art on H2 production capacities from the dehydrogenation reaction of ammonia borane (and selected related amine-boranes) as a safer solid source of H2 by hydrolysis (or solvolysis), catalyzed by nanoparticle-based systems. The review groups the results according to the transition metals constituting the catalyst with a mention to their current cost and availability. This includes the noble metals Rh, Pd, Pt, Ru, Ag, as well as cheaper Co, Ni, Cu, and Fe. For each element, the monometallic and polymetallic structures are presented and the performances are described in terms of turnover frequency and recyclability. The structure-property links are highlighted whenever possible. It appears from all these works that the mastery of the preparation of catalysts remains a crucial point both in terms of process, and control and understanding of the electronic structures of the elaborated nanomaterials. A particular effort of the scientific community remains to be made in this multidisciplinary field with major societal stakes.

Abstract
Regarding dihydrogen as a clean and renewable energy source, ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) was considered as a chemical H2-storage and H2-delivery material due to its high storage capacity of dihydrogen (19.6 wt %) and stability at room temperature. To advance the development of efficient and recyclable catalysts for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB with parallel insight into the reaction mechanism, herein, ZIF-67-derived fcc-Co@porous carbon nano/microparticles (cZIF-67_nm/cZIF-67_μm) were explored to promote catalytic dehydrogenation of AB and generation of H2(g). According to kinetic and computational studies, zero-order dependence on the concentration of AB, first-order dependence on the concentration of cZIF-67_nm (or cZIF-67_μm), and a kinetic isotope effect value of 2.45 (or 2.64) for H2O/D2O identify the Co-catalyzed cleavage of the H-OH bond, instead of the H-BH2NH3 bond, as the rate-determining step in the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB. Despite the absent evolution of H2(g) in the reaction of cZIF-67 and AB in the organic solvents (i.e., THF or CH3OH) or in the reaction of cZIF-67 and water, Co-mediated activation of AB and formation of a Co-H intermediate were evidenced by theoretical calculation, infrared spectroscopy in combination with an isotope-labeling experiment, and reactivity study toward CO2-to-formate/H2O-to-H2 conversion. Moreover, the computational study discovers a synergistic interaction between AB and the water cluster (H2O)9 on fcc-Co, which shifts the splitting of water into an exergonic process and lowers the thermodynamic barrier for the generation and desorption of H2(g) from the Co-H intermediates. With the kinetic and mechanistic study of ZIF-67-derived Co@porous carbon for catalytic hydrolysis of AB, the spatiotemporal control on the generation of H2(g) for the treatment of inflammatory diseases will be further investigated in the near future.

Abstract
Highly active and stable non-noble metal catalysts are expected to play a critical role in future hydrogen storage and conversion applications. The design of active sites with composite oxides provides a new approach for developing high-performance catalysts. In this study, an Fe-doped Ni/NiO nanocomposite film was constructed on an ionic liquid/water interface to promote hydrogen generation. The optimized Ni/FeNiOx-25 catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity toward ammonia borane hydrolysis, with a turnover frequency of 72.3 min-1. The enhancing effect of Fe2+ doping on Ni/NiO films was confirmed by the improved intrinsic activity and theoretical simulations. Fe ion doping stabilized NiO and prevented NiO from becoming Ni. The interfacial Ni-Fe2+ dual active sites on the FeNiOx and Ni interfaces participated in the targeted adsorption and effective activation of water and NH3BH3 molecules, respectively. The sufficiently exposed plane surface of the nanofilms provided abundant active sites for catalytic reactions. This significant advance will inspire development in the ambient liquid hydrogen storage field.

Abstract
The catalytic boron‑hydrogen bond break is usually regarded as an important reaction both in the area of environment treatment and hydrogen energy, attracting increasing attention in the past decades. Due to the limitation of conventional noble metal-based catalyst, cost-effective transition metal-based catalysts with high activity have been recently developed to become the promising candidates. Herein, the coffee ground waste was utilized as the biochar substrate loaded with ultrafine NiCoO2 nanoparticles. The abundant function groups on the biochar substrate efficiently adsorbed the metal ions and confined the crystal growth spatially, making the NiCoO2 nanoparticles highly dispersed on the surface. Moreover, the oxygen vacancies were further created in the catalysts by a vacuum-calcination strategy to boost their catalytic activity towards boron‑hydrogen bond break both in the systems of 4-nitrophenol reduction by NaBH4 and hydrogen release from NH3BH3. The results indicated that the moderate presence of oxygen vacancies could effectively accelerate the boron‑hydrogen bond break and the catalytic activity performed a satisfied stability during several recycles. The theoretical calculation method was adopted to analysis and discuss the mechanism within this process. This design strategy on active catalysts not only offered a novel solution of biowaste resource reuse but also demonstrated the significant role of oxygen vacancies in energy and environmental catalysis.

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
Exploitation of high-efficiency and low-cost catalysts for dehydrogenation of the ideal hydrogen storage material (ammonia borane) can effectively promote the development of hydrogen economy. Here, we report an efficient and economical non-noble-metal magnetic catalyst (Ni0.23Co0.19P0.58@NHPC900) with nanoparticles uniformly distributed on MOF-derived (metal-organic framework) nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbon (NHPC900) by a one-step in situ synthesis method. The catalyst has achieved a superior initial total turnover frequency (TOF) of 125.2 molH2·molcat-1·min-1. Based on isotopic analyses and ion effects, we further obtain an unprecedentedly higher TOF of 282.4 molH2·molcat-1·min-1, the highest among non-noble-metal heterogeneous systems. Through experiments and theoretical studies, we confirm that the highly doped phosphorus component leads to a C-P-Ni-Co quaternary synergy in the catalyst. Then, the induced strong electron transfer and increased partial charge can reduce the reaction energy barrier, strengthen the adsorption of ammonia borane, and ultimately result in superior catalytic performance. The proposed mechanisms and strategies are helpful to develop non-noble-metal catalysts for practical applications of hydrogen energy systems in the future.

Abstract
From the perspective of tailoring the reaction pathways of photogenerated charge carriers and intermediates to remarkably enhance the solar‐to‐hydrogen energy conversion efficiency, we synthesized the three low‐cost semiconducting nickel phosphides Ni2P, Ni12P5 and Ni3P, which singly catalyzed the hydrogen evolution from ammonia borane (NH3BH3) in the alkaline aqueous solution under visible light irradiation at 298 K. The systematic investigations showed that all the catalysts had higher activities under visible light irradiation than in the dark and Ni2P had the highest photocatalytic activity with the initial turnover frequency (TOF) value of 82.7 min−1, which exceeded the values of reported metal phosphides at 298 K. The enhanced activities of nickel phosphides were attributed to the visible‐light‐driven synergistic effect of photogenerated electrons (e−) and hydroxyl radicals (.OH), which came from the oxidation of hydroxide anions by photogenerated holes. This was verified by the fluorescent spectra and the capture experiments of photogenerated electrons and holes as well as hydroxyl radicals in the catalytic hydrogen evolution process.

The growth and breadth of nanoparticle (NP) research now encompasses many scientific and technologic fields, which has driven the want to control NP dimensions, structures and properties. Recent advances in NP synthesis, especially in solution phase synthesis, and characterization have made it possible to tune NP sizes and shapes to optimize NP properties for various applications. In this review, we summarize the general concepts of using solution phase chemistry to control NP nucleation and growth for the formation of monodisperse NPs with polyhedral, cubic, octahedral, rod, or wire shapes and complex multicomponent heterostructures. Using some representative examples, we demonstrate how to use these monodisperse NPs to tune and optimize NP catalysis of some important energy conversion reactions, such as the oxygen reduction reaction, electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction, and cascade dehydrogenation/hydrogenation for the formation of functional organic compounds under greener chemical reaction conditions. Monodisperse NPs with controlled surface chemistry, morphologies and magnetic properties also show great potential for use in biomedicine. We highlight how monodisperse iron oxide NPs are made biocompatible and target-specific for biomedical imaging, sensing and therapeutic applications. We intend to provide readers some concrete evidence that monodisperse NPs have been established to serve as successful model systems for understanding structure-property relationships at the nanoscale and further to show great potential for advanced nanotechnological applications.

Abstract
Bi2Te3-based compounds are important near room temperature thermoelectric materials with commercial applications in thermoelectric modules. However, new routes leading to improved thermoelectric performance are highly desirable. Incorporation of superparamagnetic nanoparticles was recently proposed as a means to promote the thermoelectric properties of materials, but its feasibility has rarely been examined in mainstream thermoelectric materials. In this study, high quality single-crystalline Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 nanoplates and Ni nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by solvothermal and thermal decomposition methods, respectively. Bulk nanocomposites consisting of Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 nanoplates and superparamagnetic Ni nanoparticles were prepared by spark plasma sintering. It was found that incorporation of Ni nanoparticles simultaneously increased the carrier concentration and provided additional scattering centers, which resulted in enlarged electric conductivities and Seebeck coefficients. The greatly improved ZT was achieved due to the increase in power factor. Spark plasma sintered bulk nanocomposites of Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 nanoplates incorporated by 0.4 mol %Ni nanoparticles (in molar ratio) showed a figure-of-merit ZT of 0.66 at 425 K, equivalent to 43% increase when compared to pure Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 nanoplates. The results revealed that incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles could be an effective approach for promoting the thermoelectric performance of conventional semiconductors.

Abstract
Yolk-shell structured micro/nano-sized materials have broad and important applications in different areas due to their unique spatial configurations. In this study, yolk-shell structured Co3 O4 @Co3 O4 is prepared using a simple and scalable hydrothermal reaction, followed by a calcination process. Then, Cox Cu1- x Co2 O4 @Coy Cu1- y Co2 O4 microspheres are synthesized via adsorption and calcination processes using the as-prepared Co3 O4 @Co3 O4 as the precursor. A possible formation mechanism of the yolk-shell structures is proposed based on the characterization results, which is different from those of yolk-shell structures in previous study. For the first time, the catalytic activity of yolk-shell structured catalysts in ammonia borane (AB) hydrolysis is studied. It is discovered that the yolk-shell structured Cox Cu1- x Co2 O4 @Coy Cu1- y Co2 O4 microspheres exhibit high performance with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 81.8 molhydrogen min-1 molcat -1 . This is one of the highest TOF values reported for a noble-metal-free catalyst in the literature. Additionally, the yolk-shell structured Cox Cu1- x Co2 O4 @Coy Cu1- y Co2 O4 microspheres are highly stable and reusable. These yolk-shell structured Cox Cu1- x Co2 O4 @Coy Cu1- y Co2 O4 microsphere is a promising catalyst candidate in AB hydrolysis considering the excellent catalytic behavior and low cost.

Abstract
The development of earth-abundant catalysts for efficient hydrolysis of ammonia borane is of great importance in the conversion and utilization of hydrogen energy. Here, we report the synthesis of SiO2-encompassed Co@N-doped porous carbon assemblies as a new type of recyclable catalyst for the purpose by calcination of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67@SiO2 microtubes at high temperatures under an N2 atmosphere. We find that the surface layer of SiO2 in the precursor microtubes is essential for the production of efficient catalysts by supplying an additional surface for Co nanoparticle dispersion in an effort to reduce their size. In addition, the SiO2 layer renders a highly ordered arrangement of Co@N-doped porous carbon within the catalysts, possibly allowing the ease of mass transfer of ammonia borane within the catalysts. The optimized catalysts obtained via calcination at 800 °C show a set of remarkable catalytic benefits, including a high hydrogen generation rate of 8.4 mol min-1 mol(Co)-1, a relatively low activation energy of 36.1 kJ mol-1, and a remarkable reusability (at least 10 times). Our results can provide new insight into the design and synthesis of highly ordered SiO2-supported catalysts for different reactions.

Abstract
Production of hydrogen by catalytically hydrolyzing ammonia borane (AB) has attracted extensive attention in the field of catalysis and energy. However, it is still a challenge to develop a both inexpensive and active catalyst for AB hydrolysis. In this work, we designed a series of MoO3-doped MnCo2O4 (x) catalysts, which were fabricated by a hydrothermal process. The morphology, crystalline structure, and chemical components of the catalysts were systematically analyzed. The catalytic behavior of the catalyst in AB hydrolysis was investigated. Among these catalysts, MoO3-doped MnCo2O4 (0.10) microspheres composed of nanosheets exhibited the highest catalytic activity. The apparent activation energy is 34.24 kJ mol−1 and the corresponding turnover frequency is 26.4 molhydrogen min−1 molcat−1. Taking into consideration the low cost and high performance, the MoO3-doped MnCo2O4 (0.10) microspheres composed of nanosheets represent a promising catalyst to hydrolyze AB for hydrogen production.

Abstract
First-row transition metal-based thiospinels are prepared via a one-pot versatile strategy and for the first time investigated as hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirm that these thiospinels consist of agglomerated nanoparticles (NPs) and contain multivalent metal cations. Among the sulfides synthesized at 230 °C, NiCo2S4 presents the highest thiophene conversion. This high intrinsic activity is found to be correlated with the normal spinel structure with Ni cations located on the tetrahedral sites and Co cations on the octahedral sites. However, the spent NiCo2S4 NPs experience phase transformation because of the relatively low synthetic temperature. Accordingly, six NiCo2S4 samples are prepared in the temperature range of 180-350 °C, and their HDS activity increases monotonically with the synthetic temperature, which is attributed to the higher structural stability and more surface sulfur vacancy of the NiCo2S4 NPs prepared at higher temperatures. Notably, the NiCo2S4 NPs synthesized at 350 °C exhibit a much higher thiophene conversation of 62.9% than the classic MoS2 catalyst (39.3%) as well as excellent reusability. Our study suggests that the NiCo2S4 thiospinels with high activity and stability can represent a new promising class of industrial HDS catalysts.
