JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 345:118629. [PMID: 37499417 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
Equipped with hierarchical pores and three-dimensional (3D) center-radial channels, dendritic mesoporous nanoparticles (DMNs) make their pore volumes extremely large, specific surface areas super-high, internal spaces especially accessible, and so on. Other entities (like organic moieties or nanoparticles) can be modified onto the interfaces or skeletons of DMNs, accomplishing their functionalization for desirable applications. This comprehensive review emphasizes on the design and construction of DMNs-based systems which serve as sensors, adsorbents and catalysts for the detection, adsorption, and degradation of hazardous substances, mainly including the construction procedures of brand-new DMNs-based materials and the involved hazardous substances (like industrial chemicals, chemical dyes, heavy metal ions, medicines, pesticides, and harmful gases). The sensitive, adsorptive, or catalytic performances of various DMNs have been compared; correspondingly, the reaction mechanisms have been revealed strictly. It is honestly anticipated that the profound discussion could offer scientists certain enlightenment to design novel DMNs-based systems towards the detection, adsorption, and degradation of hazardous substances, respectively or comprehensively.

Abstract
In this study, single Ni2 clusters (two Ni atoms bridged by a lattice oxygen) are successfully synthesized on monolayered CuO. They exhibit a remarkable activity toward low-temperature CO2 thermal dissociation, in contrast to cationic Ni atoms that nondissociatively adsorb CO2 and metallic Ni ones that are chemically inert for CO2 adsorption. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Ni2 clusters can significantly alter the spatial symmetry of their unoccupied frontier orbitals to match the occupied counterpart of the CO2 molecule and enable its low-temperature dissociation. This study may help advance single-cluster catalysis and exploit the unexcavated mechanism for low-temperature CO2 activation.

Ni nanoparticles supported on Al 2O 3 + La 2O 3 yolk-shell catalyst for photo-assisted thermal decomposition of methane. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 643:151-161.

Abstract
Catalytic methane decomposition (CMD) has emerged as an appealing technology for large-scale production of H2 and carbon nanostructures from natural gas. As the CMD process is mildly endothermic, the application of concentrated renewable energy sources such as solar energy under a low-temperature regime could potentially represent a promising approach towards CMD process operation. Herein, Ni/Al2O3-La2O3 yolk-shell catalysts are fabricated using a straightforward single-step hydrothermal approach and tested for their performance in photothermal CMD. We show that the morphology of the resulting materials, dispersion and reducibility of Ni nanoparticles, and nature of metal-support interactions can be tuned by addition of varying amounts of La. Notably, the addition of an optimal amount of La (Ni/Al-20La) improved the H2 yield and catalyst stability relative to the base Ni/Al2O3 material, while also favoring base growth of carbon nanofibers. Additionally, we show for the first time a photothermal effect in CMD, whereby the introduction of 3 suns light irradiation at a constant bulk temperature of 500 °C reversibly increased the H2 yield of catalyst by about 1.2 times relative to the rate in the dark, accompanied by a decrease in apparent activation energy from 41.6 kJ mol-1 to 32.5 kJ mol-1. The light irradiation further suppressed undesirable CO co-production at low temperatures. Our work reveals photothermal catalysis as a promising route for CMD while providing an insightful understanding of the roles of modifier in enriching methane activation sites on Al2O3-based catalysts.

Abstract
Pd-catalyzed reductive decontamination is considerably promising in the safe handling of various pollutants, and previous studies on heterogeneous Pd catalysts have demonstrated the key role of support in determining their catalysis performance. In this work, metal nitrides were studied as supports for Pd as a hydrodechlorination (HDC) catalyst. Density functional theory study showed that a transition metal nitride (TMN) support could effectively modulate the valence-band state of Pd. The upward shift of the d-band center reduced the energy barrier for water desorption from the Pd site to accommodate H2/4-chlorophenol and increased the total energy released during HDC. The theoretical results were experimentally verified by synthesizing Pd catalysts onto different metal oxides and the corresponding nitrides. All studied TMNs, including TiN, Mo2N, and CoN, showed satisfactorily stabilized Pd and render Pd with high dispersity. In line with theoretical prediction, TiN most effectively modulated the electronic states of the Pd sites and enhanced their HDC performance, with mass activity much higher than those of counterpart catalysts on other supports. The combined theoretical and experimental results shows that TMNs, especially TiN, are new and potentially important support for the highly efficient Pd HDC catalysts.

Abstract
Nanomaterials-based enzyme mimics (nanozymes), by simulating enzyme catalysis, have shown potential in numerous biocatalytic applications, but nanozymes face significant challenges of catalytic activity and reusability that may restrict their practical uses. Herein, we report facile fabrication of surface-clean IrO2 clusters supported on dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres (DMSNs), which exhibit superior peroxidase-like activity, high thermal/long-term stability, and good recyclability. The IrO2 clusters (1.4 ± 0.2 nm in size) are obtained by the laser ablation without any ligands and possess negative surface charge, which are efficiently loaded on the amino-functionalized DMSNs by electrostatic adsorption. Owing to morphological and structural advantages, the resulted DMSN/IrO2 heterostructure displays outstanding peroxidase-like catalytic performance. Compared with horseradish peroxidase, it shows comparable affinities but higher reaction rate (2.95 × 10-7 M·s-1) towards H2O2, resulting from rapid electron transfer during the catalysis. This value is also larger than those of mesoporous silicas supported metal or metal oxides nanoparticles/clusters in the previous studies. Benefitting from excellent peroxidase-catalysis of the DMSN/IrO2, the colorimetric assays are further successfully established for the detection of acetylcholine esterase and its inhibitor, showing high sensitivity and selectivity. The work provides novel design of supported nanozymes for biosensing.

Abstract
The methane dry reforming reaction can simultaneously convert two greenhouse gases (CH4 and CO2), which has significantly environmental and economic benefits. Nickel-based catalysts have been widely used in methane dry reforming in past decade due to their low cost and high activity. However, the sintering and coke deposition of catalysts severely limit their industrial applications. In this paper, three Ni/SiO2 catalysts prepared by different methods were systematically studied, and the samples obtained by the ammonia evaporation method exhibited excellent catalytic performance. The characterization results such as H2-TPR, XPS and TEM confirmed that the excellent performance was mainly attributed to the catalyst with smaller Ni particles, stronger metal-support interactions, and abundant Ni-O-Si units on the catalyst surface. The anti-sintering/-coking properties of the catalyst were significantly improved. However, the Ni/SiO2-IM catalyst prepared by impregnation method had uneven distribution of nickel species and large particles, and weak metal-support interactions, showing poor catalytic performance in methane dry reforming. Since the nickel species were encapsulated by the SiO4 tetrahedral network, the Ni/SiO2-SG catalyst prepared by sol-gel method could not expose more effective active sites even if the nickel species were uniformly dispersed, resulting in poor dry reforming performance. This study provides guidance for the preparation of novel anti-sintering/-coking nickel-based catalysts.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) with unique structures and compositions can give rise to exotic physicochemical properties and applications. Despite the advancement in solution-based methods, scalable access to a wide range of crystal phases and intricate compositions is still challenging. Solid-state reaction (SSR) syntheses have high potential owing to their flexibility toward multielemental phases under feasibly high temperatures and solvent-free conditions as well as their scalability and simplicity. Controlling the nanoscale features through SSRs demands a strategic nanospace-confinement approach due to the risk of heat-induced reshaping and sintering. Here, we describe advanced SSR strategies for NM synthesis, focusing on mechanistic insights, novel nanoscale phenomena, and underlying principles using a series of examples under different categories. After introducing the history of classical SSRs, key theories, and definitions central to the topic, we categorize various modern SSR strategies based on the surrounding solid-state media used for nanostructure growth, conversion, and migration under nanospace or dimensional confinement. This comprehensive review will advance the quest for new materials design, synthesis, and applications.

Abstract
Developing cost-effective nonprecious active metal-based catalysts for syngas (H2/CO) production via the dry reforming of methane (DRM) for industrial applications has remained a challenge. Herein, we utilized a facile and scalable mechanochemical method to develop Ba-promoted (1-5 wt %) zirconia and yttria-zirconia-supported Ni-based DRM catalysts. BET surface area and porosity measurements, infrared, ultraviolet-visible, and Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and temperature-programmed cyclic (reduction-oxidation-reduction) experiments were performed to characterize and elucidate the catalytic performance of the synthesized materials. Among different catalysts tested, the inferior catalytic performance of 5Ni/Zr was attributed to the unstable monoclinic ZrO2 support and weakly interacting NiO species whereas the 5Ni/YZr system performed better because of the stable cubic ZrO2 phase and stronger metal-support interaction. It is established that the addition of Ba to the catalysts improves the oxygen-endowing capacity and stabilization of the cubic ZrO2 and BaZrO3 phases. Among the Ba-promoted catalysts, owing to the optimal active metal particle size and excess ionic CO3 2- species, the 5Ni4Ba/YZr catalyst demonstrated a high, stable H2 yield (i.e., 79% with a 0.94 H2/CO ratio) for up to 7 h of time on stream. The 5Ni4Ba/YZr catalyst had the highest H2 formation rate, 1.14 mol g-1 h-1 and lowest apparent activation energy, 20.07 kJ/mol, among all zirconia-supported Ni catalyst systems.

Abstract
Ni nanoparticle catalysts embedded in ZrO2 porous spheres and ZrO2 porous composite spheres, SiO2-ZrO2, MgO-ZrO2, and Y2O3-ZrO2, with 83-115 nm diameter and 167-269 m2/g specific surface area were prepared by a one-pot and one-step solvothermal reaction from precursor solutions consisting of Ni(NO3)2‧6H2O, Zr(OnBu)4, and acetylacetone in moist ethanol combined with either Si(OEt)4, magnesium acetylacetate, or Y(OiPr)3. The obtained Ni catalysts have high specific surface areas of 130-196 m2/g, even after high-temperature reduction by H2 at 450 °C for 2 h. They were utilized as catalysts for low-temperature dry reforming of methane (DRM) at 550 °C to suppress carbon deposition on Ni nanoparticles. The Ni catalysts embedded in SiO2-ZrO2 and Y2O3-ZrO2 demonstrated high catalytic activity and long stability in the reaction. Moreover, carbon deposition on Ni nanoparticles in the DRM reaction was effectively suppressed in when using the SiO2-ZrO2 and Y2O3-ZrO2 composites.

Prospects and Technical Challenges in Hydrogen Production through Dry Reforming of Methane. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
Environmental issues related to greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions have pushed the development of new technologies that will allow the economic production of low-carbon energy vectors, such as hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4) and liquid fuels. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) has gained increased attention since it uses CH4 and carbon dioxide (CO2), which are two main greenhouse gases (GHG), as feedstock for the production of syngas, which is a mixture of H2 and carbon monoxide (CO) and can be used as a building block for the production of fuels. Since H2 has been identified as a key enabler of the energy transition, a lot of studies have aimed to benefit from the environmental advantages of DRM and to use it as a pathway for a sustainable H2 production. However, there are several challenges related to this process and to its use for H2 production, such as catalyst deactivation and the low H2/CO ratio of the syngas produced, which is usually below 1.0. This paper presents the recent advances in the catalyst development for H2 production via DRM, the processes that could be combined with DRM to overcome these challenges and the current industrial processes using DRM. The objective is to assess in which conditions DRM could be used for H2 production and the gaps in literature data preventing better evaluation of the environmental and economic potential of this process.

Abstract
Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a very promising protocol to mitigate the greenhouse gases by making use of CO 2 and CH 4 to produce valuable syngas. Ni-Based catalysts exhibit high activity and low cost for DRM, but suffer from inferior stability because of serious carbon deposition. Herein, we proposed atomically dispersed Ni supported by ceria-upgraded boron nitride whose specific activity exceeds that of boron nitride supported Ni by 3 times. The results of temperature programmed surface reaction show ceria enhanced the adsorption of CO 2 and its surface-active oxygen species would contribute to the activation of CH 4 . Moreover, Ni exhibited a strong metal-support interaction which suppressed the metal sintering during DRM reaction while the incorporation of BN could suppress carbon deposition. The incorporation of active metal oxides into inert support provides a route to adjust the interaction between metal and support and achieve the synergistic promoting in catalytic performance.

Abstract
Copper catalysts have been extensively studied for CO oxidation at low temperatures. Previous findings on the stability of such catalysts, on the other hand, revealed that they deactivated badly under extreme circumstances. Therefore, in this work, a series of KCC−1-supported copper oxide catalysts were successfully prepared by impregnation method, of which 5% CuO/KCC−1 exhibited the best activity: CO could be completely converted at 120 °C. The 5% CuO/KCC−1 catalyst exhibited better thermal stability, which is mainly attributed to the large specific surface area of KCC−1 that facilitates the high dispersion of CuO species, and because the dendritic layered walls can lengthen the movement distances from particle-to-particle, thus helping to slow down the tendency of active components to sinter. In addition, the 5% CuO/KCC−1 has abundant mesoporous and surface active oxygen species, which are beneficial to the mass transfer and promote the adsorption of CO and the decomposition of Cu+–CO species, thus improving the CO oxidation performance of the catalyst.

Abstract
The design and preparation of efficient coking-resistant catalysts for dry reforming of methane (DRM) is significant for industrial applications but a challenge for supported Ni catalysts. Nanosheet-assembled Al2O3 (NA-Al2O3) with hierarchical hollow microspheres was used to support Ni nanoparticles, which exhibits superior long-time stability and coking resistance for the DRM reaction from 700 to 800 °C without coke deposition. Active Ni species, exsolved from NiAl2O4 spinel, are aggregated into Ni nanoparticles and finally stabilize as spherical Ni nanoparticles of 18.0 nm due to the spatial confinement of hierarchical hollow microspheres of the NA-Al2O3 support after the DRM reaction for 60 h. The catalytic activity in the induction period of the Ni/(NA-Al2O3) catalyst increases because of the enhancement of the surface Ni0/(Ni0+Ni2+) ratio, that is, the increment of the amount of active Ni sites. The spherical Ni nanoparticles embedded in the NA-Al2O3 support, superior CO2 adsorption ability, and more surface hydroxyl groups on the Ni/(NA-Al2O3) catalyst are the determining factors for its long-time stability and excellent anti-coking for the DRM reaction.

Abstract
Stable and efficient syngas production via methane dry reforming is highly desirable as it utilizes two greenhouse gases simultaneously. In this work, active Ni-Cu nanoalloys stably anchored on periclase-phase MgAlOx nanosheets were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method. These highly dispersed small Ni-Cu alloys strongly interacted with the periclase-phase MgAlOx nanosheets, on which abundant base sites were accessible. On the optimal catalyst (6Ni6CuMgAl-S), methane and carbon dioxide conversion always reached 85 and 90% at 700 °C under a gas hour speed velocity of 40,000 mL/gcat h for more than 70 h. The hydrogen production rate was maintained at 1.8 mmol/min, and the ratio of H2/CO was kept at approximately 0.96 under a CH4 and CO2 flow rate of 25 mL/min. Coke deposition and Ni sintering were effectively suppressed by the formation of a Ni-Cu alloy, the laminar structure, and the periclase phase of the MgAlOx support. Moreover, the alloy nanoparticles were reconstructed into a segregated Ni-Cu alloy structure in response to the reaction environment, and this structure was more stable and still active. Density functional theory calculations showed that carbon adsorption was inhibited on the segregated Ni-Cu alloy. Furthermore, the experimental thermogravimetric and O2-TPO results confirmed the significant decrease in carbon deposition on the Ni-Cu alloy catalysts.

Abstract
The increasing environmental concerns due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions have called for an alternate sustainable source to fulfill rising chemical and energy demands and reduce environmental problems. The thermo-catalytic activation and conversion of abundantly available CO2, a thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert molecule, can significantly pave the way to sustainably produce chemicals and fuels and mitigate the additional CO2 load. This can be done through comprehensive knowledge and understanding of catalyst behavior, reaction kinetics, and reactor design. This review aims to catalog and summarize the advances in the experimental and theoretical approaches for CO2 activation and conversion to C1 products via heterogeneous catalytic routes. To this aim, we analyze the current literature works describing experimental analyses (e.g., catalyst characterization and kinetics measurement) as well as computational studies (e.g., microkinetic modeling and first-principles calculations). The catalytic reactions of CO2 activation and conversion reviewed in detail are: (i) reverse water-gas shift (RWGS), (ii) CO2 methanation, (iii) CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, and (iv) dry reforming of methane (DRM). This review is divided into six sections. The first section provides an overview of the energy and environmental problems of our society, in which promising strategies and possible pathways to utilize anthropogenic CO2 are highlighted. In the second section, the discussion follows with the description of materials and mechanisms of the available thermo-catalytic processes for CO2 utilization. In the third section, the process of catalyst deactivation by coking is presented, and possible solutions to the problem are recommended based on experimental and theoretical literature works. In the fourth section, kinetic models are reviewed. In the fifth section, reaction technologies associated with the conversion of CO2 are described, and, finally, in the sixth section, concluding remarks and future directions are provided.

Abstract
Here, lamellar confinement strategy is introduced for "sheet-to-nanocrystals (NCs)" conversion within a 2D-SiO2 envelope, which constructs a catalytic nanocartridge holding a platoon of isolated and in-plane-aligned ultrasmall Ni-NCs, performing as a robust and coking-resistant catalytic system for dry reforming of methane. Overcoming the problem of unavoidable bulk crystal growth from multiple sheets-stack or sheet-on-open-support, silica bilayer-encasing tightly clamps the atomic-thin Ni(OH)2 -nanosheet during thermal conversion and further hinders the migratory fusion of the resultant Ni-NCs. Upon heating-cooling cycle, the flapping silica envelope clutches the Ni-NCs like "eggs in a carton," subsequently, ensuring their thermal stability. Owing to the unique 2D-enveloped rigid architecture, Ni-NCs can circumvent sintering and coke deposition while tolerating the high temperatures (>700 °C) for long operation (>100 h), affording high conversions to syngas.

Abstract
In this paper, nanowire-supported catalysts loaded with nickel are shown to be coke resistant compared to nanoparticle-supported catalysts. Specifically, Ni-loaded titania-based nanowire catalysts were tested with the dry methane reforming process in a laboratory-scale continuous packed-bed atmospheric reactor. The CO2 conversion rate stayed above 90% for over 30 h on stream under coke-promoting conditions, such as high flow rates, low temperatures, and a high ratio of CH4 to CO2. The coke (CxHy, x>>y) on the spent catalyst surface for both nanowire- and nanoparticle-supported catalysts was characterized by TGA, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), and electron microscopy (SEM/TEM/EDS), and it was revealed that the types of carbon species present and their distribution over the morphology-enhanced materials played a major role in the deactivation. The CO2 conversion activity of Ni supported on titania nanoparticles was reduced from ~80% to less than 72% in 30 h due to the formation of a graphitic coke formation. On the other hand, Ni particles supported on nanowires exhibited cube-octahedral morphologies, with a high density of non- (111) surface sites responsible for the increased activity and reduced graphitic coke deposition, giving a sustained and stable catalytic activity during a long time-on-stream experiment.

Abstract
Catalysis in a confined space has attracted much attention due to the simultaneously designable nature of active sites and their microenvironment, leading to a broad spectrum of highly efficient chemical conversion schemes. Recent work has extended the scope of confined catalysis to electrochemical reactions. Mechanistic studies suggest that the confined environment in electrocatalysis can modulate mechanical, electronic, and geometric effects, stabilizing important charge-transfer intermediates and promoting reaction kinetics. In this minireview, we first discuss the fundamental concepts of confined catalysis by summarizing density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental investigations. We then present the rational design and applications of space-confined electrocatalysts with emphasis on the confined environment provided by carbon-based materials. We specifically focus on metal-based materials confined in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their applications in emerging electrochemical reactions including the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), water-splitting reactions, carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), and nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). Finally, the existing challenges, opportunities, and future directions of electrocatalysis in confined spaces are highlighted.

Abstract
As a conceivable route to achieving anthropological carbon looping, carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies employ waste CO2 as an accessible C1 building block to generate upgraded chemicals or fuels, thereby simultaneously remedying environmental issues and energy crises. However, efficient CO2 conversion is disfavored by both its thermodynamics and its kinetics. Heterostructured materials with well-controlled interfaces have great potential for enhanced catalytic performance in various CO2 transformation reactions, owing to the synergistic effects among components, numerous interfacial and/or surface active sites, increased CO2 adsorption capacity, promoted charge transfer efficiency, and unique physicochemical properties. This Review highlights the state of the art in typical heterostructures, such as core-shell, yolk-shell, Janus, hierarchical (branched and hollow), and 2D/2D layered structures, applied for CO2 conversion with various energy inputs (radiation, electricity, heat). Fabrication methods of different heterostructures and structure-composition-performance relationships are also discussed concisely. Finally, a brief summary and prospective research directions are provided. The motivation of this Review is to offer instructive information on the applicability of inorganic heterostructures for CO2 transformation reactions, and it is hoped that further enlightening studies in this field could emerge in the future.

Abstract
Sintering and carbon deposition are the two main ways to deactivate Ni-based catalysts during methane reforming. Herein, a stable Ni-CeO2/SiO2(CSC) catalyst was prepared by a one-step colloidal solution combustion method (CSC) and used for dry reforming of methane. In the catalyst, the small Ni particles were confined by CeO2 particles and highly dispersed on the surface of SiO2, forming a spatial confinement structure with a rich Ni-CeO2 interface in the catalyst. The Ni-CeO2/SiO2(CSC) catalyst prepared by the one-step CSC method exhibited superior activity at 700 °C during dry reforming of methane, and the performance of the catalyst was stable after 20 h of reaction with only a small amount of carbon deposition present (1.8%). Due to the spatial confinement effect, Ni was stable and less than 5 nm during reaction. The small Ni particle size and rich Ni-CeO2 interface reduced the rate of carbon deposition. This colloidal combustion method could be applied to prepare stable metal-based catalysts with rich metal–oxide interfaces for high-temperature reactions.

Abstract
The interest in the design and controlled fabrication of dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres (DMSNs) emanates from their widespread application in drug-delivery carriers, catalysis and nanodevices owing to their unique open three-dimensional dendritic superstructures with large pore channels and highly accessible internal surface areas. A variety of synthesis strategies have been reported, but there is no basic consensus on the elucidation of the pore structure and the underlying formation mechanism of DMSNs. Although all the DMSNs show a certain degree of similarity in structure, do they follow the same synthesis mechanism? What are the exact pore structures of DMSNs? How did the bimodal pore size distributions kinetically evolve in the self-assembly? Can the relative fractions of small mesopores and dendritic large pores be precisely adjusted? In this review, by carefully analysing the structures and deeply understanding the formation mechanism of each reported DMSN and coupling this with our research results on this topic, we conclude that all the DMSNs indeed have the same mesostructures and follow the same dynamic self-assembly mechanism using microemulsion droplets as super templates in the early reaction stage, even without the oil phase.
