Abstract
Composite oxides have been widely applied in the hydrogenation of CO/CO2 to methanol or as the component of bifunctional oxide-zeolite for the synthesis of hydrocarbon chemicals. However, it is still challenging to disentangle the stepwise formation mechanism of CH3OH at working conditions and selectively convert CO2 to hydrocarbon chemicals with narrow distribution. Here, we investigate the reaction network of the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol over a series of spinel oxides (AB2O4), among which the Zn-based nanostructures offer superior performance in methanol synthesis. Through a series of (quasi) in situ spectroscopic characterizations, we evidence that the dissociation of H2 tends to follow a heterolytic pathway and that hydrogenation ability can be regulated by the combination of Zn with Ga or Al. The coordinatively unsaturated metal sites over ZnAl2Ox and ZnGa2Ox originating from oxygen vacancies (OVs) are evidenced to be responsible for the dissociative adsorption and activation of CO2. The evolution of the reaction intermediates, including both carbonaceous and hydrogen species at high temperatures and pressures over the spinel oxides, has been experimentally elaborated at the atomic level. With the integration of a series of zeolites or zeotypes, high selectivities of hydrocarbon chemicals with narrow distributions can be directly produced from CO2 and H2, offering a promising route for CO2 utilization.

J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:10014-10022. [PMID: 38557129 PMCID: PMC11009945 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c00646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
Direct oxidation of methane to methanol was reported to be highly dependent on the transition- or noble-metal-loading catalysts in the past decades. Here, we show that the transition-metal-free aluminosilicate ferrierite (FER) zeolite effectively catalyzed methane and N2O to methanol for the first time. The distorted tetracoordinated Al in the framework and pentacoordinated Al on the extra framework formed during calcination, activation, and reaction processes were confirmed as the potential active centers. The possible reaction pathway similar to the Fe-containing zeolites was advocated based on the reaction results using different oxidants, N2O adsorption FTIR spectra, and 27Al MAS NMR spectra. The stable and efficient methanol production capacity of FER zeolite was ascribed to the two-dimensional straight channels and its distinctive Al distribution of FER zeolite (CP914C) from Zeolyst. The transition-metal-free FER zeolite performed better than the record in the literature and our recent results using transition-metal-containing catalysts in terms of selectivity and formation rate of methanol and stability. This work has great significance and prospects for utilizing CH4 and N2O as resources and will open new avenues for methane oxidation.

Abstract
Unraveling the effect of spatially separated bifunctional sites on catalytic reactions is significant yet challenging. In this report, we investigate the role of spatial separation on the oxidation of methane in a series of Cu-exchanged aluminosilicate zeolites. Regulation of the bifunctional sites is done either through studying a physical mixture of Cu-exchanged zeolites and acidic zeolites or by systematically varying the Cu and acid density within a family of zeolite materials. We show that separated Cu and acid sites are beneficial for the formation of hydrocarbons while high-density Cu sites, which are closer together, facilitate the production of CO2. By contrast, a balance of the spatial separation of Cu and acid sites shows more favorable formation of methanol. This work will further guide approaches to methane oxidation to methanol and open an avenue for promoting hydrocarbon synthesis using methanol as an intermediate.

Abstract
ConspectusThe hydrogenative conversion of both CO and CO2 into high-value multicarbon (C2+) compounds, such as olefins, aromatic hydrocarbons, ethanol, and liquid fuels, has attracted much recent attention. The hydrogenation of CO is related to the chemical utilization of various carbon resources including shale gas, biomass, coal, and carbon-containing wastes via syngas (a mixture of H2 and CO), while the hydrogenation of CO2 by green H2 to chemicals and liquid fuels would contribute to recycling CO2 for carbon neutrality. The state-of-the-art technologies for the hydrogenation of CO/CO2 to C2+ compounds primarily rely on a direct route via Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis and an indirect route via two methanol-mediated processes, i.e., methanol synthesis from CO/CO2 and methanol to C2+ compounds. The direct route would be more energy- and cost-efficient owing to the reduced operation units, but the product selectivity of the direct route via FT synthesis is limited by the Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF) distribution. Selectivity control for the direct hydrogenation of CO/CO2 to a high-value C2+ compound is one of the most challenging goals in the field of C1 chemistry, i.e., chemistry for the transformation of one-carbon (C1) molecules.We have developed a relay-catalysis strategy to solve the selectivity challenge arising from the complicated reaction network in the hydrogenation of CO/CO2 to C2+ compounds involving multiple intermediates and reaction channels, which inevitably lead to side reactions and byproducts over a conventional heterogeneous catalyst. The core of relay catalysis is to design a single tandem-reaction channel, which can direct the reaction to the target product controllably, by choosing appropriate intermediates (or intermediate products) and reaction steps connecting these intermediates, and arranging optimized yet matched catalysts to implement these steps like a relay. This Account showcases representative relay-catalysis systems developed by our group in the past decade for the synthesis of liquid fuels, lower (C2-C4) olefins, aromatics, and C2+ oxygenates from CO/CO2 with selectivity breaking the limitation of conventional catalysts. These relay systems are typically composed of a metal or metal oxide for CO/CO2/H2 activation and a zeolite for C-C coupling or reconstruction, as well as a third or even a fourth catalyst component with other functions if necessary. The mechanisms for the activation of H2 and CO/CO2 on metal oxides, which are distinct from that on the conventional transition or noble metal surfaces, are discussed with emphasis on the role of oxygen vacancies. Zeolites catalyze the conversion of intermediates (including hydrocracking/isomerization of heavier hydrocarbons, methanol-to-hydrocarbon reactions, and carbonylation of methanol/dimethyl ether) in the relay system, and the selectivity is mainly controlled by the Brønsted acidity and the shape-selectivity or the confinement effect of zeolites. We demonstrate that the thermodynamic/kinetic matching of the relay steps, the proximity and spatial arrangement of the catalyst components, and the transportation of intermediates/products in sequence are the key issues guiding the selection of each catalyst component and the construction of an efficient relay-catalysis system. Our methodology would also be useful for the transformation of other C1 molecules via controlled C-C coupling, inspiring more efforts toward precision catalysis.

Abstract
The electrochemical synthesis of syngas (CO and H2) has garnered considerable attention in the context of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis employing thermal catalysts. Nonetheless, the need for a novel, cost-effective technique persists. In this investigation, we introduce a direct electrochemical (dEC) approach for FT synthesis that functions under ambient conditions by utilizing a p-block element (Sn and In) overlaid Cu electrode. Surface *CO and H* species were obtained in an electrolytic medium through the CO2 + H+ + e- → HOOCad → *CO (or direct CO adsorption) and H+ + e- → H* reactions, respectively. We have observed C2-7 long-chain hydrocarbons with a CnH2n+2/CnH2n ratio of 1-3, and this observation can be explained through the process of C-C coupling chain growth of the conventional FT synthesis, based on the linearity of the Anderson-Schulz-Flory equation plots. Thick Sn and In overlayers resulted in the dominant production of formate, while CO and C2H4 production were found to be proportional and inversely correlated to H2, C2H6, and C3-7 hydrocarbon production. The EC CO2/CO reduction used in dEC FT synthesis offers valuable insights into the mechanism of C2+ production and holds promise as an eco-friendly approach to producing long-chain hydrocarbons for energy and environmental purposes.

Abstract
In tandem catalysts, not only good synergy between the two active components is required, but also the precise control of the spatial distribution between the two active components of metal oxides and zeolite is crucial for the migration and conversion of reaction intermediates in the direct conversion of CO2 to hydrocarbons. The correlation between the metal and the acidic site of zeolite has traditionally been simplified as "the closer, the better". However, it should be noted that this principle only holds true for a portion of tandem catalysts. Therefore, this paper studied the effect of different crystalline In2O3 (cubic phase, hexagonal phase, and mixed cubic/hexagonal phase) and sheet HZSM-5 zeolite tandem catalysts on the activity of CO2 hydrogenation reaction under different spatial distribution. The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of density functional theory (DFT) were used to simulate the adsorption energy of CO2 by oxygen vacancy on c-In2O3(111) and h-In2O3(104) planes, it was found that Ov1 on c-In2O3(111) and Ov4 on h-In2O3(104) had the strongest adsorption energy for CO2. In addition, it has been observed that the proximity of the two active components (e.g., during mortar mixing) results in decreased catalytic performance. This is due to the migration of metal In, which neutralizes the acid sites of zeolites and leads to inefficient conversion of methanol reaction intermediates to aromatics. As a result, CO2 conversion and aromatic selectivity are decreased.

Abstract
Selective synthesis of specific value-added aromatics from CO2 hydrogenation is of paramount interest for mitigating energy and climate problems caused by CO2 emission. Herein, we report a highly active composite catalyst of ZnZrO and HZSM-5 (ZZO/Z5-SG) for xylene synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation via a coupling reaction in the presence of toluene, achieving a xylene selectivity of 86.5 % with CO2 conversion of 10.5 %. A remarkably high space time yield of xylene could reach 215 mg gcat -1 h-1 , surpassing most reported catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. The enhanced performance of ZZO/Z5-SG could be due to high dispersion and abundant oxygen vacancies of the ZZO component for CO2 adsorption, more feasible hydrogen activation and transfer due to the close interaction between the two components, and enhanced stability of the formate intermediate. The consumption of methoxy and methanol from the deep hydrogenation of formate by introduced toluene also propels an oriented conversion of CO2 .

Abstract
Bifunctional catalysts consisting of metal-containing nanoparticles (NPs) and zeolite supports have received considerable attention due to their excellent catalytic properties in numerous reactions, including direct (biomass is a substrate) and indirect (platform chemical is a substrate) biomass processing. In this short review, we discuss major approaches to the preparation of NPs in zeolites, concentrating on methods that allow for the best interplay (synergy) between metal and acid sites, which is normally achieved for small NPs well-distributed through zeolite. We focus on the modification of zeolites to provide structural integrity and controlled acidity, which can be accomplished by the incorporation of certain metal ions or elements. The other modification avenue is the adjustment of zeolite morphology, including the creation of numerous defects for the NP entrapment and designed hierarchical porosity for improved mass transfer. In this review, we also provide examples of synergy between metal and acid sites and emphasize that without density functional theory calculations, many assumptions about the interactions between active sites remain unvalidated. Finally, we describe the most interesting examples of direct and indirect biomass (waste) processing for the last five years.

Abstract
Close proximity usually shortens the travel distance of reaction intermediates, thus able to promote the catalytic performance of CO2 hydrogenation by a bifunctional catalyst, such as the widely reported In2O3/H-ZSM-5. However, nanoscale proximity (e.g., powder mixing, PM) more likely causes the fast deactivation of the catalyst, probably due to the migration of metals (e.g., In) that not only neutralizes the acid sites of zeolites but also leads to the reconstruction of the In2O3 surface, thus resulting in catalyst deactivation. Additionally, zeolite coking is another potential deactivation factor when dealing with this methanol-mediated CO2 hydrogenation process. Herein, we reported a facile approach to overcome these three challenges by coating a layer of silicalite-1 (S-1) shell outside a zeolite H-ZSM-5 crystal for the In2O3/H-ZSM-5-catalyzed CO2 hydrogenation. More specifically, the S-1 layer (1) restrains the migration of indium that preserved the acidity of H-ZSM-5 and at the same time (2) prevents the over-reduction of the In2O3 phase and (3) improves the catalyst lifetime by suppressing the aromatic cycle in a methanol-to-hydrocarbon conversion step. As such, the activity for the synthesis of C2 + hydrocarbons under nanoscale proximity (PM) was successfully obtained. Moreover, an enhanced performance was observed for the S-1-coated catalyst under microscale proximity (e.g., granule mixing, GM) in comparison to the S-1-coating-free counterpart. This work highlights an effective shielding strategy to secure the bifunctional nature of a CO2 hydrogenation catalyst.
