Discovery of Alloy Catalysts Beyond Pd for Selective Hydrogenation of Reformate via First-Principle Screening with Consideration of H-Coverage. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202317592. [PMID: 38650376 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202317592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
The highly selective hydrogenation to remove olefins is a significant refining approach for the reformate. Herein, a library of transition metal for reformate hydrogenation is tested experimentally to validate the predictive level of catalytic activity from our theoretical framework, which combines ab initio calculations and microkinetic modeling, with consideration of surface H-coverage effect on hydrogenation kinetics. The favorable H coverage of specific alloy surface under relevant hydrogenation condition, is found to be determined by its corresponding alloy composition. Besides, olefin hydrogenation rate is determined as a function of two descriptors, i.e. H coverage and binding energies of atomic hydrogen, paving the way to computationally screen on metal component in the periodic table. Evaluation of 172 bimetallic alloys based on the activity volcano map, as well as benzene hydrogenation rate, identifies prospective superior candidates and experimentally confirms that Zn3Ir1 outperforms pure Pd catalysts for the selective hydrogenation refining of reformate. The insights into H-coverage-related microkinetic modelling have enabled us to both theoretically understand experimental findings and identify novel catalysts, thus, bridging the gap between first-principle simulations and industrial applications. This work provides useful guidance for experimental catalyst design, which can be easily extended to other hydrogenation reaction.

Abstract
Single-atom alloys (SAAs) are a different type of alloy where a guest metal, usually a noble metal (e.g., Pt, Pd, and Ru), is atomically dispersed on a relatively more inert (e.g., Ag and Cu) host metal. As a type of atomic-scale catalyst, single-atom alloy catalysts have broad application prospects in the field of heterogeneous catalysis for hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, oxidation, and other reactions. Numerous experimental and characterization results and theoretical calculations have confirmed that the resultant electronic structure caused by charge transfer between the host metal and guest metal and the special geometric structure of the guest metal are responsible for the high selectivity and catalytic activity of SAA catalysts. In this review, the common methods for the preparation of single-atom alloys in recent years are introduced, including initial wet impregnation, physical vapor deposition, and laser ablation in liquid technique. Afterwards, the applications of single-atom alloy catalysts in selective hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, oxidation reactions, and hydrogenolysis reactions are emphatically reviewed. Finally, several challenges for the future development of SAA catalysts are proposed.

Abstract
Hetero-interface engineering has been widely employed to develop supported multicomponent catalysts for water electrolysis, but it still remains a substantial challenge for supported single atom alloys. Herein a conductive oxide MoO2 supported Ir1 Ni single atom alloys (Ir1 Ni@MoO2 SAAs) bifunctional electrocatalysts through surface segregation coupled with galvanic replacement reaction, where the Ir atoms are atomically anchored onto the surface of Ni nanoclusters via the Ir-Ni coordination accompanied with electron transfer from Ni to Ir is reported. Benefiting from the unique structure, the Ir1 Ni@MoO2 SAAs not only exhibit low overpotential of 48.6 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and Tafel slope of 19 mV dec-1 for hydrogen evolution reaction, but also show highly efficient alkaline water oxidation with overpotential of 280 mV at 10 mA cm-2 . Their overall water electrolysis exhibits a low cell voltage of 1.52 V at 10 mA cm-2 and excellent durability. Experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that the Ir-Ni interface effectively weakens hydrogen binding energy, and decoration of the Ir single atoms boost surface reconstruction of Ni species to enhance the coverage of intermediates (OH*) and switch the potential-determining step. It is suggested that this approach opens up a promising avenue to design efficient and durable precious metal bifunctional electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Single atom catalysts (SACs) are a hot research area recently. Over most of the SACs, the singly dispersed atoms are the active sites, which contribute to the catalytic activities significantly compared with a catalyst with continuously packed active sites. It is essential to determine whether SACs have been successfully synthesized. Several techniques have been applied for the characterization of the dispersion states of the active sites over SACs, such as Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS), etc. In this review, the techniques for the identification of the singly dispersed sites over SACs are introduced, the advantages and limitations of each technique are pointed out, and the future research directions have been discussed. It is hoped that this review will be helpful for a more comprehensive understanding of the characterization and detection methods involved in SACs, and stimulate and promote the further development of this emerging research field.

Abstract
Nanostructures of the multimetallic catalysts offer great scope for fine tuning of heterogeneous catalysis, but clear understanding of the surface chemistry and structures is important to enhance their selectivity and efficiency. Focussing on a typical Pt-Pd-Ni trimetallic system, we comparatively examined the Ni/C, Pt/Ni/C, Pd/Ni/C and Pt-Pd/Ni/C catalysts synthesized by impregnation and galvanic replacement reaction. To clarify surface chemical/structural effect, the Pt-Pd/Ni/C catalyst was thermally treated at X=200, 400 or 600 °C in a H2 reducing atmosphere, respectively termed as Pt-Pd/Ni/C-X. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized complementarily by XRD, XPS, TEM, HRTEM, HS-LEIS and STEM-EDS elemental mapping and line-scanning. All the catalysts were comparatively evaluated for benzaldehyde and styrene hydrogenation. It is shown that the "PtPd alloy nanoclusters on Ni nanoparticles" (PtPd/Ni) and the synergistic effect of the trimetallic Pt-Pd-Ni, lead to much improved catalytic performance, compared with the mono- or bi- metallic counterparts. However, with the increase of the treatment temperature of the Pt-Pd/Ni/C, the catalytic performance was gradually degraded, which was likely due to that the favourable nanostructure of fine "PtPd/Ni" was gradually transformed to relatively large "PtPdNi alloy on Ni" (PtPdNi/Ni) particles, thus decreasing the number of noble metal (Pt and Pd) active sites on the surface of the catalyst. The optimum trimetallic structure is thus the as synthesised Pt-Pd/Ni/C. This work provides a novel strategy for the design and development of highly efficient and low-cost multimetallic catalysts, e. g. for hydrogenation reactions.
