Abstract
The catalyst plays a central role in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) process, and the choice of catalyst support significantly impacts FTS catalyst performance by enhancing its attributes. In this study, the effects of utilizing various metal oxides-CeO2, ZrO2, and TiO2-on a cobalt-based FTS nanocatalyst are investigated by evaluating the catalyst's reducibility, stability, syngas chemisorption, intermediate species spillover, charge transfer, and metal-support interaction (MSI). This evaluation is conducted both theoretically and experimentally through diverse characterization tests and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Characterization tests reveal that the ceria-supported catalyst (Ceria Nano Catalyst, CNC) demonstrates the highest reducibility, stability, CO chemisorption, and spillover, while the zirconia-supported catalyst (Zirconia Nano Catalyst, ZNC) exhibits the highest hydrogen chemisorption and spillover. The MD simulation results align well with these findings; for instance, ZNC has the lowest hydrogen adsorption enthalpy (ΔHAds.), whereas CNC has the lowest ΔHAds. for CO. Additionally, MD simulations indicate that the titania-supported catalyst (Titania Nano Catalyst, TNC) possesses the highest MSI value, closely resembling that of ZNC, albeit with a minor difference. The TNC catalyst's performance in other tests is also similar to that of ZNC. Finally, FTS performance tests illustrate that the ZNC catalyst achieves the highest CO conversion at 88.1%, while the CNC catalyst presents the lowest CO conversion at 82.2%. Notably, the CNC catalyst showcases the highest durability, with only a 4.4% loss in CO conversion and an 8.55% loss in C5+ yield after 192 h of operation.

Abstract
Spillover of adsorbed species from one active site to another is a key step in heterogeneous catalysis. However, the factors controlling this step, particularly the spillover of polyatomic species, have rarely been studied. Herein, we investigate the spillover dynamics of H* and CH3* species on a single-atom alloy surface (Rh/Cu(111)) upon the dissociative chemisorption of methane (CH4), using molecular dynamics that considers both surface phonons and electron-hole pairs. These dynamical calculations are made possible by a high-dimensional potential energy surface machine learned from density functional theory data. Our results provide compelling evidence that the H* and CH3* can spill over on the metal surface at experimental temperatures and reveal novel dynamical features involving an internal motion during diffusion for CH3*. Increasing surface temperature has a minor effect on promoting spillover, as geminate recombinative desorption becomes more prevalent. However, the poisoning of the active site can be mitigated by the frequent gaseous molecular collisions that occur under ambient pressure in real-world catalysis, which transfer energy to the trapped adsorbates. Interestingly, the bulky CH3* exhibits a significant spillover advantage over the light H* due to its larger size, which facilitates energy acquisition. These insights help to advance our understanding of spillover in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts are essential for thermocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, a key route for sustainable production of this vital platform chemical and energy carrier. The primary catalyst families studied include copper-based, indium oxide-based, and mixed zinc-zirconium oxides-based materials. Despite significant progress in their design, research is often compartmentalized, lacking a holistic overview needed to surpass current performance limits. This perspective introduces generalized design principles for catalytic materials in CO2-to-methanol conversion, illustrating how complex architectures with improved functionality can be assembled from simple components (e.g., active phases, supports, and promoters). After reviewing basic concepts in CO2-based methanol synthesis, engineering principles are explored, building in complexity from single to binary and ternary systems. As active nanostructures are complex and strongly depend on their reaction environment, recent progress in operando characterization techniques and machine learning approaches is examined. Finally, common design rules centered around symbiotic interfaces integrating acid-base and redox functions and their role in performance optimization are identified, pinpointing important future directions in catalyst design for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol.

Abstract
Improving the catalytic efficiency of platinum group metal-free (PGM-free) catalysts for the sluggish alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) is crucial to the anion exchange membrane fuel cell. Recently, numerous Ni-based heterostructures have been designed based on bifunctional theory to enhance HOR activity by optimizing the binding energy of both H* and OH*; however, their activities are still far inferior to those of PGM catalysts. Indeed, the long transfer pathway for intermediates between different active sites in such heterostructures has rarely been investigated, which could be the reason for the bottleneck. Here, we design a Ni/MoOxHy heterostructure catalyst to promote H* migration from the Ni side to the interface for alkaline HOR via the hydrogen spillover effect. In situ X-ray absorption fine structure, Raman characterizations, H/D kinetic isotope effects, and theoretical calculations have proven facile H* migration from the Ni side to the interface, which further reacts with OH* on the MoOxHy surface. Besides, the hydrogen spillover effect is also beneficial for the preservation of the metallic phase of Ni during the reaction. The catalyst exhibits a high activity with Jk,m of 58.5 mA mgNi-1 and j0,s of 42 μA cmNi-2, which is among the best PGM-free catalysts and is even comparable to some PGM catalysts. It also shows the highest power density (511 mW cm-2) as a PGM-free anode when assembled into fuel cells under moderate back pressure. These findings prove that in addition to optimizing electrophilicity and oxophilicity for active sites, we could also improve the HOR activity from the transfer pathway for intermediates, which provides insight into the design of other efficient HOR catalysts.

Catalytic battle of activated carbon supported transition metal atom towards adsorption and dissociation of molecular hydrogen: Progress towards quantum chemical application on renewable energy resource.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) investigation has been done to unravel the adsorption and dissociation nature of hydrogen molecule on 3d, 4d and 5d transition metal (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Os, Ir, Pt or Au) atom doped activated carbon (AC) surface. Transition metal doped AC are found to be active catalyst for storage of hydrogen and also gives the stability of M - H bonds formed after bond breakage of H2 molecule. Transition metals are found to occupy the position on the five member ring rather than six member ring of the AC. Five member ring of the AC is seen to be more deformed than the six-member ring on metal doping. Higher values of LUMO-HOMO gap and vertical ionization potential and lower electron affinity signify the higher stability of hydrogen molecule adsorbed metal doped AC. Bond length and vibrational analysis of the adsorbed hydrogen molecule suggest the higher activation of hydrogen molecule on AC, where 4d and 5d metal doped ACs are found to be more efficient in comparison to 3d metal. Adsorbed hydrogen molecule on metal doped AC follows dissociation either via spill-over or via normal process. DFT evaluated rate constant and the transition states suggest that Ru, Rh, Os and Ir doped AC are found to be efficient in the dissociation of hydrogen molecule, while, Cu doped AC is seen to be worst in the same reaction. Deformed electron density, HOMO-LUMO isosurface, and density of states confirms the redistribution of electrons among H2 and metal doped AC surface. ΔGH values of Hydrogen evolution reaction also signifies the greater catalytic activities of Ru and Os supported activated carbon towards HER.

Abstract
Understanding the water-involved mechanism on metal oxide surface and the dynamic interaction of water with active sites is crucial in solving water poisoning in catalytic reactions. Herein, this work solves this problem by designing the water-promoted function of metal oxides in the ethanol oxidation reaction. In situ multimodal spectroscopies unveil that the competitive adsorption of water-dissociated *OH species with O2 at Sn active sites results in water poisoning and the sluggish proton transfer in CoO-SnO2 imparts water-resistant effect. Carbon material as electron donor and proton transport channel optimizes the Co active sites and expedites the reverse hydrogen spillover from CoO to SnO2. The water-promoted function arises from spillover protons facilitating O2 activation on the SnO2 surface, leading to crucial *OOH intermediate formation for catalyzing C-H and C-C cleavage. Consequently, the tailored CoO-C-SnO2 showcases a remarkable 60-fold enhancement in ethanol oxidation reaction compared to bare SnO2 under high-humidity conditions.

THE JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY. C, NANOMATERIALS AND INTERFACES 2024; 128:13864-13878.

Abstract
Supported tungsten oxides are widely used in a variety of catalytic reactions. Depending on the support, the cluster size, oxidation state, reducibility and speciation of the tungsten oxides can widely differ. When promoted with a platinum group metal, the resulting spillover of hydrogen may facilitate the reduction of supported tungsten oxide species, depending on the support. High resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging showed nanometer scale WO x clusters were synthesized on SiO2 whereas highly dispersed species were formed on TiO2. Results from H2-temperature-programmed reduction showed the presence of Pd lowered the initial reduction temperature of SiO2-supported WO x species but interestingly did not affect that of TiO2-supported WO x . X-ray photoelectron and absorption spectroscopies showed the W atoms in SiO2-supported WO x species reduce from a +6 oxidation state to primarily +5 after thermal treatment in 5% H2, while the fraction of W in the +5 oxidation state was relatively unaffected by reduction treatment of TiO2-supported WO x . The unusual behavior of TiO2-supported WO x was explained by quantum chemical calculations that reveal the lack of change in the oxidation state of W is attributed to charge delocalization on the surface atoms of the titania support, which does not occur on silica. Moreover, modeling results at <600 K in the presence of H2 suggest the formation of Brønsted acid sites, and the absence of Lewis acid sites, on larger aggregates of WO x on silica and all cluster sizes on titania. These results provide experimental and theoretical insights into the nature of supported tungsten oxide clusters under conditions relevant to various catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Reducing CO2 emissions is an urgent global priority. In this context, several mitigation strategies, including CO2 tax and stringent legislation, have been adopted to halt the deterioration of the natural environment. Also, carbon recycling procedures undoubtedly help reduce net emissions into the atmosphere, enhancing sustainability. Utilizing Earth's abundant CO2 to produce high-potential green chemicals and light fuels opens new avenues for the chemical industry. In this context, many attempts have been devoted to converting CO2 as a feedstock into various value-added chemicals, such as CH4, lower methanol, light olefins, gasoline, and higher hydrocarbons, for numerous applications involving various catalytic reactions. Although several CO2-conversion methods have been used, including electrochemical, photochemical, and biological approaches, the hydrogenation method allows the reaction to be tuned to produce the targeted compound without significantly altering infrastructure. This review discusses the numerous hydrogenation routes and their challenges, such as catalyst design, operation, and the combined art of structure-activity relationships for the various product formations.

Abstract
Interparticle hydrogen spillover is the phenomenon of H migration over different catalyst particles, which should be a physical mixture of at least two solid catalysts. In this review, we analyze examples of enhanced catalysis based on interparticle (reverse) hydrogen spillover. Simple physical mixtures of powdered catalysts containing metal catalysts of H2 dissociation/recombination and solid catalysts with active sites for substrate activation significantly enhance catalytic reactions. These reactions include aromatic hydrogenation, CO2 methanation, and the deoxydehydration of polyols, aromatization of lower paraffins, and direct coupling of benzene and alkanes. The acceleration effect and proposed reaction pathway of each example involving interparticle (reverse) hydrogen spillover are summarized. Simple reaction systems comprising physical mixtures of at least two powdery solid catalysts should enable unique catalysis in the future with the aid of interparticle (reverse) hydrogen spillover.

Abstract
Hydrogen may play a critical role in our efforts to de-carbonize by 2050. However, there remain technical challenges in the storage and transport of hydrogen. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown significant promise for hydrogen storage at cryogenic temperatures. A material that can meet the US department of energy (DOE) ultimate goal of 6.5 wt. % for gravimetric performance and 50 g/L for volumetric storage at near-ambient temperatures would unlock hydrogen as a future fuel source for on-board applications. Metal-organic frameworks typically have low heat of adsorptions (i. e. 4-7 kJ/mol), whereas for storing significant quantities of hydrogen at near-ambient temperatures, 15-25 kJ/mol is likely required. In this review we explore the current methods used (i. e., open-metal sites, alkali dopants and hydrogen spillover) for promoting strong adsorption within MOFs. Further we discuss MOF-based materials with respect to the technical aspects of deliverable capacity, kinetics and stability.

Abstract
Hydrogen spillover, the simultaneous diffusion of protons (H+) and electrons (e-) is considered to be applicable to ubiquitous technologies related to hydrogen but limited to over reducible metal oxides. The present work demonstrates that a non-reducible MgO with heteroatom Al dopants (Al-MgO) allows hydrogen spillover in the same way as reducible metal oxides. Furthermore, a H+ storage capacity of this material owing to hydrogen spillover is more than three times greater than those of various standard metal oxides based on H+ transport channels within its bulk region. Atomic hydrogen diffuses over the non-reducible Al-MgO produces active H+-e- pairs, as also occurs on reducible metal oxides, to enhance the catalytic performance of Ni during CO2 hydrogenation. The H+ and e- diffusion pathways generated by the heteroatom Al doping are disentangled based on systematic characterizations and calculations. This work provides a new strategy for designing functional materials intended to hydrogen spillover for diverse applications in a future hydrogen-based society.

Abstract
Hydrogen spillover is an extraordinary effect in heterogeneous catalysis and hydrogen storage, which refers to the surface migration of metal particle-activated hydrogen atoms over the solid supports. Historical studies on this phenomenon have mostly been limited to reducible metal oxides where the long-distance proton-electron coupled migration mechanism has been established, yet the key question remains on how to surmount short-distance and defect-dependent hydrogen migration on nonreducible supports. By demerging hydrogen migration and hydrogenation reaction, here we demonstrate that the hydrogen spillover in nonreducible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be finely modulated by the ligand functional groups or embedded water molecules, enabling significant long-distance (exceed 50 nm) movement of activated hydrogen. Furthermore, using sandwich nanostructured MOFs@Pt@MOFs as catalysts, we achieve highly selective hydrogenation of N-heteroarenes via controllable hydrogen spillover from Pt to MOFs-shell. We anticipate that this work will enhance the understanding of hydrogen spillover and shed light on de novo design of MOFs supported catalysts for many important reactions involving hydrogen.

Abstract
The selective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived methoxyphenols to cyclohexanol is one of the most significant transformation in biomass conversion since cyclohexanol is an important industrial raw material. This study has disclosed a series of tungstated zirconia with different Zr/W ratio supported Ru catalysts (Ru/xZrW, x means the molar ration of Zr/W) for the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol to cyclohexanol. Among these catalysts, Ru/16ZrW has the best catalytic activity, which can achieve 92 % yield of cyclohexanol under the conditions of 180 °C and 1 MPa H2 pressure for 2 h (TOF 231 h-1). Compared with Ru/ZrO2, Ru/16ZrW has smaller particles, more dispersed and electron-rich Ru species, significant hydrogen spillover and more acid sites, which are the main reason for its excellent performance on this reaction. Apart from guaiacol, other methoxy substitution phenols and organosolv lignin can also be converted into cyclohexanol via hydrodeoxygenation reactions over this catalyst.

Abstract
Interfacial hydrogen transfer between metal particles and catalyst supports is a ubiquitous phenomenon in heterogeneous catalysis, and this occurrence on reducible supports has been established, yet controversies remain about how hydrogen transfer can take place on nonreducible supports, such as silica. Herein, highly dispersed Pt clusters supported on a series of porous silica materials with zeolitic or/and amorphous frameworks were prepared to interrogate the nature of hydrogen transfer and its promotional effect on H2-HDO isotope catalytic exchange. The formation of zeolitic frameworks upon these porous silica supports by hydrothermal crystallization greatly promotes the interfacial hydrogen bidirectional migration between metal clusters and supports. Benefiting from this transfer effect, the isotope exchange rate is enhanced by 10 times compared to that on the amorphous counterpart (e.g., Pt/SBA-15). In situ spectroscopic and theoretical studies suggest that the defective silanols formed within the zeolite framework serve as the reactive sites to bind HDO or H2O by hydrogen bonds. Under the electrostatic attraction interaction, the D of hydrogen-bonded HDO scrambles to the Pt site and the dissociated H on Pt simultaneously spills back to the electronegative oxygen atom of adsorbed water to attain H-D isotope exchange with an energy barrier of 0.43 eV. The reverse spillover D on Pt combines with the other H on Pt to form HD in the effluent. We anticipate that these findings are able to improve our understanding of hydrogen transfer between metal and silica supports and favor the catalyst design for the hydrogen-involving reaction.

Abstract
The use of light as a catalytic prompt for the synthesis of industrial relevant compounds is widely explored in the past years, with a special consideration over the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, semiconductors for heterogeneous photocatalysis suffer from fast charge recombination and, consequently, low solar-to-hydrogen efficiency. These drawbacks can be mitigated by coupling photocatalysts with an external circuit that can physically separate the photogenerated charge carriers (electrons and holes). For this reason, photoelectrochemical (PEC) production of hydrogen is under the spotlight as promising green and sustainable technique and widely investigated in numerous publications. However, considering that a significant fraction of the hydrogen produced is used for reduction processes, the development of PEC devices for direct in situ hydrogenation can address the challenges associated with hydrogen storage and distribution. This Perspective aims at highlighting the fundamental aspects of HER from PEC systems, and how these can be harnessed toward the implementation of suitable settings for the hydrogenation of organic compounds of industrial value.

Abstract
The properties of sub-nano metal clusters are governed by quantum confinement and their large surface-to-bulk ratios, atomically precise compositions and geometric/electronic structures. Advances in metal clusters lead to new opportunities in diverse aspects of sciences including chemo-sensing, bio-imaging, photochemistry, and catalysis. Naked metal clusters having synergic multiple active sites and coordinative unsaturation and tunable stability/activity enable researchers to design atomically precise metal catalysts with tailored catalysis for different reactions. Here we summarize the progress of ligand-free naked metal clusters for catalytic applications. It is anticipated that this review helps to better understand the chemistry of small metal clusters and facilitates the design and development of new catalysts for potential applications.

Abstract
The hydrogenolysis of oxygenates such as alcohols and ethers is central to the biomass valorization and also a valuable transformation in organic synthesis. However, a mild and efficient catalyst system for the hydrogenolysis of a large variety of alcohols and ethers with various functional groups is still underdeveloped. Here, we report an aluminum metaphosphate-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/Al(PO3)3) for the hydrogenolysis of a wide variety of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl and benzylic alcohols, and dialkyl, aryl alkyl, and diaryl ethers, including biomass-derived furanic compounds, under mild conditions (0.1-1 atm of H2, as low as 70 °C). Mechanistic studies suggested that H2 induces formation of the surface Brønsted acid sites via its cleavage by supported Pt nanoparticles. Accordingly, the high efficiency and the wide applicability of the catalyst system are attributed to the activation and cleavage of C-O bonds by the hydrogen-induced Brønsted acid sites with the assistance of Lewis acidic Al sites on the catalyst surface. The high efficiency of the catalyst implies its potential application in energy-efficient biomass valorization or fine chemical synthesis.

Abstract
The phenomenon of hydrogen spillover is investigated as a means of realizing a hydrogen-based society for over half a century. Herein, a graphene oxide having a precisely tuned architecture via calcination in air to introduce ether groups onto basal planes along with carbon defects is reported. This material provides specific pathways for the spillover of atomic hydrogen and has practical applications with regard to the synthesis of non-equilibrium solid-solution alloy nanoparticles. A combination of experimental work and simulations confirmed that the presence of ether groups associated with carbon defects facilitated hydrogen spillover within the basal planes of this graphene oxide. This enhanced hydrogen spillover ability, in turn, enables the simultaneous reduction of Ru3+ and Ni2+ ions to form RuNi alloy nanoparticles under hydrogen reduction conditions. Energy dispersive X-ray and X-ray absorption near edge structure simulations establish that this strategy forms unique alloy nanoparticles each comprising a Ru core with a RuNi solid-solution shell having a hexagonal close-packed structure. These non-equilibrium RuNi alloy nanoparticles exhibit greater catalytic activity than monometallic Ru nanoparticles during the hydrolysis of ammonia borane.

Abstract
The activity and durability of the Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 (CZA) catalyst formulation for methanol synthesis from CO/CO2/H2 feeds far exceed the sum of its individual components. As such, this ternary catalytic system is a prime example of synergy in catalysis, one that has been employed for the large scale commercial production of methanol since its inception in the mid 1960s with precious little alteration to its original formulation. Methanol is a key building block of the chemical industry. It is also an attractive energy storage molecule, which can also be produced from CO2 and H2 alone, making efficient use of sequestered CO2. As such, this somewhat unusual catalyst formulation has an enormous role to play in the modern chemical industry and the world of global economics, to which the correspondingly voluminous and ongoing research, which began in the 1920s, attests. Yet, despite this commercial success, and while research aimed at understanding how this formulation functions has continued throughout the decades, a comprehensive and universally agreed upon understanding of how this material achieves what it does has yet to be realized. After nigh on a century of research into CZA catalysts, the purpose of this Review is to appraise what has been achieved to date, and to show how, and how far, the field has evolved. To do so, this Review evaluates the research regarding this catalyst formulation in a chronological order and critically assesses the validity and novelty of various hypotheses and claims that have been made over the years. Ultimately, the Review attempts to derive a holistic summary of what the current body of literature tells us about the fundamental sources of the synergies at work within the CZA catalyst and, from this, suggest ways in which the field may yet be further advanced.

Abstract
CeO2 is a popular material in heterogeneous catalysis, molecular sensors, and electronics and owes many of its special properties to the redox activity of Ce, present as both Ce3+ and Ce4+. However, the reduction of CeO2 with H2 (thought to occur through proton-electron transfer (PET) giving Ce3+ and new OH bonds) is poorly understood due to the high reduction temperatures necessary and the ill-defined nature of the hydrogen atom sources typically used. We have previously shown that transition-metal hydrides with weak M-H bonds react with reducible metal oxides at room temperature by PET. Here, we show that CpCr(CO)3H (1) transfers protons and electrons to CeO2 due to its weak Cr-H bond. We can titrate CeO2 with 1 and measure not only the number of surface Ce3+ sites formed (in agreement with X-ray absorption spectroscopy) but also the lower limit of the hydrogen atom adsorption free energy (HAFE). The results match the extent of reduction achieved from H2 treatment and hydrogen spillover on CeO2 in a wide range of applications.

Abstract
TiO2 thin films are often used as protective layers on semiconductors for applications in photovoltaics, molecule-semiconductor hybrid photoelectrodes, and more. Experiments reported here show that TiO2 thin films on silicon are electrochemically and photoelectrochemically reduced in buffered acetonitrile at potentials relevant to photoelectrocatalysis of CO2 reduction, N2 reduction, and H2 evolution. On both n-type Si and irradiated p-type Si, TiO2 reduction is proton-coupled with a 1e-:1H+ stoichiometry, as demonstrated by the Nernstian dependence of the Ti4+/3+ E1/2 on the buffer pKa. Experiments were conducted with and without illumination, and a photovoltage of ∼0.6 V was observed across 20 orders of magnitude in proton activity. The 4 nm films are almost stoichiometrically reduced under mild conditions. The reduced films catalytically transfer protons and electrons to hydrogen atom acceptors, based on cyclic voltammogram, bulk electrolysis, and other mechanistic evidence. TiO2/Si thus has the potential to photoelectrochemically generate high-energy H atom carriers. Characterization of the TiO2 films after reduction reveals restructuring with the formation of islands, rendering TiO2 films as a potentially poor choice as protecting films or catalyst supports under reducing and protic conditions. Overall, this work demonstrates that atomic layer deposition TiO2 films on silicon photoelectrodes undergo both chemical and morphological changes upon application of potentials only modestly negative of RHE in these media. While the results should serve as a cautionary tale for researchers aiming to immobilize molecular monolayers on "protective" metal oxides, the robust proton-coupled electron transfer reactivity of the films introduces opportunities for the photoelectrochemical generation of reactive charge-carrying mediators.

Abstract
Metal promotion could unlock high performance in zinc-zirconium catalysts, ZnZrOx, for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Still, with most efforts devoted to costly palladium, the optimal metal choice and necessary atomic-level architecture remain unclear. Herein, we investigate the promotion of ZnZrOx catalysts with small amounts (0.5 mol%) of diverse hydrogenation metals (Re, Co, Au, Ni, Rh, Ag, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd, and Cu) prepared via a standardized flame spray pyrolysis approach. Cu emerges as the most effective promoter, doubling methanol productivity. Operando X-ray absorption, infrared, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses and density functional theory simulations reveal that Cu0 species form Zn-rich low-nuclearity CuZn clusters on the ZrO2 surface during reaction, which correlates with the generation of oxygen vacancies in their vicinity. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that this catalytic ensemble promotes the rapid hydrogenation of intermediate formate into methanol while effectively suppressing CO production, showcasing the potential of low-nuclearity metal ensembles in CO2-based methanol synthesis.

Abstract
Cost-effective non-noble metal-based catalysts for selective hydrogenation with excellent activity, selectivity, and durability are still the holy grail. Herein, an oxygen-doped carbon (OC) chainmail encapsulated dilute Cu-Ni alloy is developed by simple pyrolysis of Cu/Ni-metal-organic framework. The CuNi0.05@OC catalyst displays superior performance for atmospheric pressure transfer hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene and p-nitrophenol, and for hydrogenation of furfural, all in water and with exceptional durability. Comprehensive characterizations confirm the close interactions between the diluted Ni sites, the base Cu, and optimized three-layered graphene chainmail. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the properly tuned lattice strain and Schottky junction can adjust electron density to facilitate specific adsorption on the active centers, thus enhancing the catalytic activity and selectivity, while the OC shell also offers robust protection. This work provides a simple and environmentally friendly strategy for developing practical heterogeneous catalysts that bring the synergistic effect into play between dilute alloy and functional carbon wrapping.

Abstract
The structure of catalysts determines the performance of catalytic processes. Intrinsically, the electronic and geometric structures influence the interaction between active species and the surface of the catalyst, which subsequently regulates the adsorption, reaction, and desorption behaviors. In recent decades, the development of catalysts with complex structures, including bulk, interfacial, encapsulated, and atomically dispersed structures, can potentially affect the electronic and geometric structures of catalysts and lead to further control of the transport and reaction of molecules. This review describes comprehensive understandings on the influence of electronic and geometric properties and complex catalyst structures on the performance of relevant heterogeneous catalytic processes, especially for the transport and reaction over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules. The recent research progress of the electronic and geometric properties over the active sites, specifically for theoretical descriptors developed in the recent decades, is discussed at the atomic level. The designs and properties of catalysts with specific structures are summarized. The transport phenomena and reactions over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules are analyzed. At the end of this review, we present our perspectives on the challenges for the further development of structured catalysts and heterogeneous catalytic processes.

Abstract
Hydrogen spillover widely occurs in a variety of hydrogen-involved chemical and physical processes. Recently, metal-organic frameworks have been extensively explored for their integration with noble metals toward various hydrogen-related applications, however, the hydrogen spillover in metal/MOF composite structures remains largely elusive given the challenges of collecting direct evidence due to system complexity. Here we show an elaborate strategy of modular signal amplification to decouple the behavior of hydrogen spillover in each functional regime, enabling spectroscopic visualization for interfacial dynamic processes. Remarkably, we successfully depict a full picture for dynamic replenishment of surface hydrogen atoms under interfacial hydrogen spillover by quick-scanning extended X-ray absorption fine structure, in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and ab initio molecular dynamics calculation. With interfacial hydrogen spillover, Pd/ZIF-8 catalyst shows unique alkyne semihydrogenation activity and selectivity for alkynes molecules. The methodology demonstrated in this study also provides a basis for further exploration of interfacial species migration.

Abstract
ConspectusHydrogen spillover, as a well-known phenomenon for thermal hydrogenation, generally involves the migration of active hydrogen on the surface of metal-supported catalysts. For thermocatalytic hydrogenation, hydrogen spillover generally takes place from metals with superiority for dissociating hydrogen molecules to supports with strong hydrogen adsorption under a H2 environment with high pressures. The former can bring high hydrogen chemical potential to largely reduce the kinetic barrier of the migration of active hydrogen species from metals to supports. At the same time, the latter can make H* migration thermodynamically spontaneous. For these reasons, hydrogen spillover is a common interfacial phenomenon occurring on metal-supported catalysts during thermocatalysis. Recently, this phenomenon has been observed for the exceptionally enhanced electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution and other electrocatalytic organic synthesis. Different from hydrogen spillover for thermocatalysis under high H2 pressure, hydrogen spillover for electrocatalysis involves the migration of active hydrogen species (H*) from metals with strong hydrogen adsorption to supports with weak hydrogen adsorption, thereby suffering from a thermodynamically unfavorable process accompanied by a high kinetic barrier. Thus, the occurrence of hydrogen spillover at the electrocatalytic interface is not easy, and successful cases are rare. Understanding the underlying nature of hydrogen spillover at the electrocatalytic interface of metal-supported catalysts is critical to the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts.In this Account, we provide in-depth insights into recent advances in hydrogen spillover at the electrocatalytic interface for a significantly enhanced hydrogen evolution performance. Electron accumulation at the metal-support interface induces severe interfacial H* trapping and is recognized as the main factor in the failed hydrogen spillover. Given this, we developed two novel strategies to promote the occurrence of hydrogen spillover at the electrocatalytic interface. These strategies include (i) the introduction of ligand environments to enrich the local hydrogen coverage on metals and lower the barrier for interfacial hydrogen spillover and (ii) the minimization of work function difference between metals and supports (ΔΦ) to relieve electron accumulation and lower the kinetic barrier for hydrogen spillover. Also, we summarize the previously reported strategy of shortening the metal-support interface distance to lower the kinetic barrier for interfacial hydrogen spillover. Afterward, some criteria and methodologies are proposed to identify the hydrogen spillover phenomenon at the electrocatalytic interface. Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives are also discussed. Based on this Account, we aim to provide new insights into electrocatalysis, particularly the targeted control of hydrogen spillover at the electrocatalytic interface, and then to offer guidelines for the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Attaining high hydrogenation performance under mild conditions, especially at ambient pressure, remains a considerable challenge due to the difficulty in achieving efficient mass transfer at the gas-liquid-solid three-phase interface. Here, we present a zeolite nanoreactor with joint gas-solid-liquid interfaces for boosting H2 gas and substrates to involve reactions. Specifically, the Pt active sites are encapsulated within zeolite crystals, followed by modifying the external zeolite surface with organosilanes. The silane sheath with aerophilic/hydrophobic properties can promote the diffusion of H2 and the mass transfer of reactant/product molecules. In aqueous solutions, the gaseous H2 molecules can rapidly diffuse into the zeolite channels, thereby augmenting H2 concentration surround Pt sites. Simultaneously, the silane sheath with lipophilicity nature promotes the enrichment of the aldehydes/ketones on the catalyst and facilitates the hydrophilia products of alcohol rediffusion back to the aqueous phase. By modifying the wettability of the catalyst, the hydrogenation of aldehydes/ketones can be operated in water at ambient H2 pressure, resulting in a noteworthy turnover frequency up to 92.3 h-1 and a 4.3-fold increase in reaction rate compared to the unmodified catalyst.

Abstract
Under the high current density, the excessive strong adsorption of H* intermediates and H2 accumulation the catalysts are the major obstacle to the industrial application of hydrogen evolation reaction (HER) catalysts. Herein, through experimental exploration, it is found that the superaerophobic Nitrogen (N)-doped carbon material can promote the rapid release of H2 and provide H* desorption site for the hydrogen spillover process, which makes it have great potential as the catalysts support for hydrogen spillover. Based on this discovery, this work develops the hydrogen spillover catalyst with electron-rich Pt sites loaded on N-doped carbon nanocage (N-CNC) with adjustable work function. Through a series of comprehensive electrochemical tests, the existence of hydrogen spillover effort has been proved. Moreover, the in situ tests showed that pyrrolic-N can activate adjacent carbon sites as the desorption sites for hydrogen spillover. The Pt@N-1-CNC with the minimum work function difference (ΔΦ) between Pt NPs and support shows superior hydrogen evolution performance, only needs overpotential of 12.2 mV to reach current density of 10 mA cm-2 , outstanding turnover frequency (TOF) (44.7 s-1 @100 mV) and superior durability under the 360 h durability tests at current density of 50 mA cm-2 .

Abstract
As a crucial industrial process for the production of bulk and fine chemicals, semi-hydrogenation of alkynes faces the trade-off between activity and selectivity due to undesirable over-hydrogenation. By breaking the energy linear scaling relationships, we report an efficient additive-free WO3-based single-atom Pd catalytic system with a vertical size effect of hydrogen spillover. Hydrogen spillover induced hydrophilic polar layer (HPL) with limited thickness on WO3-based support exhibits unconventional size effect to Pd site, in which over-hydrogenation is greatly suppressed on Pd1 site due to the polar repulsive interaction between HPL and nonpolar C=C bonds, whereas this is invalid for Pd nanoparticles with higher altitudes. By further enhancing the HPL through Mo doping, activated Pd1/MoWO3 achieves recorded performance of 98.4% selectivity and 10200 h-1 activity for semi-hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol, 26-fold increase in activity of Lindlar catalyst. This observed vertical size effect of hydrogen spillover offers broad potential in catalytic performance regulation.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2304603. [PMID: 38070182 PMCID: PMC10870026 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202304603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
Provision of atomic hydrogen by hydrogen dissociation catalysts only moderately accelerates the hydrogenation rate of magnesium. They shed light on this well-known but technically challenging fact through a combined approach using an unconventional surface science technique together with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The calculations demonstrate the drastic electronic structure changes during transformation of Mg to MgH2 , which make fractional hydrogen coverage on the surface, as well as substoichiometric hydrogen content in the bulk energetically unfavorable. Reflecting Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (REELS) is used to measure the surface and bulk plasmon during hydrogen sorption in magnesium. The measurements show that the hydrogenation proceeds via the growth of magnesium hydride without the presence of chemisorbed hydrogen on the metallic magnesium surface exactly as indicated by the calculations. This is due to the low stability of sub-stoichiometric amounts of chemisorbed H correlating with the unfavorable charge state of Mg. They are merely bound to the unchanged adjacent Mg layers, thereby explaining the failure of classical hydrogenation catalysts, which effectively only hydrogenate Mg in their direct vicinity. The acceleration of hydrogen sorption kinetics in Mg must affect the polarization in the interface between Mg and MgH2 during hydrogenation.

Abstract
High-selectivity acetylene hydrogenation to produce ethylene is an important issue of removing acetylene impurity in ethylene for industrial polyethylene production. Developing high-efficiency catalyst with excellent ethylene selectivity and catalytic durability is desirable but still challenging. In this work, potassium doped palladium catalysts supported on zirconia with different K contents (Pd/ZrO2-xK) have been developed to catalyze acetylene hydrogenation, the Pd/ZrO2-16K exhibits impressive catalytic performance with acetylene conversion of 100 %, ethylene selectivity of 81 % and high catalytic durability. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), in situ synchrotron radiation photoionization mass spectrometry (SR-PIMS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that K doping effectively weakens the adsorption of ethylene by regulating the electronic state of catalyst to improve ethylene selectivity and substantially lowers the barriers of hydrogen activation and transfer reactions to favor hydrogen spillover, thus conferring a remarkably improved durability on the Pd/ZrO2-16K catalysts.

Abstract
Actual problems of development of catalysts for hydrogenation of heterocyclic compounds by hydrogen are summarized and discussed. The scope of review covers composites of nanoparticles of platinum group metals and 3d metals for heterogeneous catalytic processes. Such problems include increase of catalyst activity, which is important for reduction of precious metals content; development of new catalytic systems which do not contain metals of platinum group or contain cheaper analogues of Pd; control of factors which make influence on the selectivity of the catalysts; achievement of high reproducibility of the catalyst's performance and quality control of the catalysts. Own results of the authors are also summarized and described. The catalysts were prepared by decomposition of Pd0 and Ni0 complexes, pyrolysis of Ni2+ and Co2+ complexes deposited on aerosil and reduction of Ni2+ in pores of porous support in situ. The developed catalysts were used for hydrogenation of multigram batches of heterocyclic compounds.

Abstract
The development of novel materials capable of securely storing hydrogen at high volumetric and gravimetric densities is a requirement for the wide-scale usage of hydrogen as an energy carrier. In recent years, great efforts via nanoscale tuning and designing strategies on both physisorbents and chemisorbents have been devoted to improvements in their thermodynamic and kinetic aspects. Increasing the hydrogen storage capacity/density for physisorbents and chemisorbents and improving the dehydrogenation kinetics of hydrides are still considered a challenge. The extensive and fast development of advanced nanotechnologies has fueled a surge in research that presents huge potential in designing solid-state materials to meet the ultimate U.S. Department of Energy capacity targets for onboard light-duty vehicles, material-handling equipments, and portable power applications. Different from the existing literature, in this review, particular attention is paid to the recent advances in nanoscale engineering of solid-state materials for boosting hydrogen storage, especially the nanoscale tuning and designing strategies. We first present a short overview of hydrogen storage mechanisms of nanoscale engineering for boosted hydrogen storage performance on solid-state materials, for example, hydrogen spillover, nanopump effect, nanosize effect, nanocatalysis, and other non-classical hydrogen storage mechanisms. Then, the focus is on recent advancements in nanoscale engineering strategies aimed at enhancing the gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity of porous materials, reducing dehydrogenation temperature and improving reaction kinetics and reversibility of hydrogen desorption/absorption for metal hydrides. Effective nanoscale tuning strategies for enhancing the hydrogen storage performance of porous materials include optimizing surface area and pore volume, fine-tuning nanopore sizes, introducing nanostructure doping, and crafting nanoarchitecture and nanohybrid materials. For metal hydrides, successful strategies involve nanoconfinement, nanosizing, and the incorporation of nanocatalysts. This review further addresses the points to future research directions in the hope of ushering in the practical applications of hydrogen storage materials.

Abstract
An improved fundamental understanding of active site structures can unlock opportunities for catalysis from conceptual design to industrial practice. Herein, we present the computational discovery and experimental demonstration of a highly active surface-phosphorylated ceria catalyst that exhibits robust chlorine tolerance for catalysis. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) calculations and in situ near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (in situ NAP-XPS) identified a predominantly HPO4 active structure on CeO2(110) and CeO2(111) facets at room temperature. Importantly, further elevating the temperature led to a unique hydrogen (H) atom hopping between coordinatively unsaturated oxygen and the adjacent P═O group of HPO4. Such a mobile H on the catalyst surface can effectively quench the chlorine radicals (Cl•) via an orientated reaction analogous to hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), enabling the surface-phosphorylated CeO2-supported monolithic catalyst to exhibit both expected activity and stability for over 68 days during a pilot test, catalyzing the destruction of a complex chlorinated volatile organic compound industrial off-gas.

Abstract
The activation of molecular hydrogen is a key process in catalysis. Here, we demonstrate how polyoxometalate (POM)-based heterogeneous compounds functionalized with Platinum particles activate H2 by synergism between a hydrogen spillover mechanism and electron-proton transfer by the POM. This interplay facilitates the selective catalytic reduction of olefins and nitroarenes with high functional group tolerance. A family of polyoxotungstates covalently functionalized with boronic acids is reported. In the solid-state, the compounds are held together by non-covalent interactions (π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding). The resulting heterogeneous nanoscale particles form stable colloidal dispersions in acetonitrile and can be surface-functionalized with platinum nanoparticles by in situ photoreduction. The resulting materials show excellent catalytic activity in hydrogenation of olefins and nitrobenzene derivatives under mild conditions (1 bar H2 and room temperature).

Abstract
Although CeO2 nanomaterials have been widely explored as nanozymes for catalytic therapy, they still suffer from relatively low activities. Herein, the catalyzing generation and stabilization of oxygen vacancies on CeO2 nanorods by Pt nanoclusters via H2 gas reduction under mild temperature (350 °C) to obtain Pt/CeO2- x , which can serve as a highly efficient nanozyme for catalytic cancer therapy, is reported. The deposited Pt on CeO2 by the atomic layer deposition technique not only can serve as the catalyst to generate oxygen vacancies under mild temperature reduction through the hydrogen spillover effect, but also can stabilize the generated oxygen vacancies. Meanwhile, the oxygen vacancies also provide anchoring sites for Pt forming strong metal-support interactions and thus preventing their agglomerations. Importantly, the Pt/CeO2- x reduced at 350 °C (Pt/CeO2- x -350R) exhibits excellent enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity for generation of reactive oxygen species (e.g., ·OH) as compared to other control samples, including CeO2 , Pt/CeO2 , and Pt/CeO2- x reduced at other temperatures, thus achieving excellent performance for tumor-specific catalytic therapy to efficiently eliminate cancer cells in vitro and ablate tumors in vivo. The excellent enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity of Pt/CeO2- x -350R originates from the good catalytic activities of oxygen vacancy-rich CeO2- x and Pt nanoclusters.

Abstract
Even though Fe-based catalysts have been widely employed for CO2 hydrogenation into hydrocarbons, oxygenates, liquid fuels, etc., the precise regulation of their physicochemical properties is needed to enhance the catalytic performance. Herein, under the guidance of the traditional concept in heterogeneous catalysis-confinement effect, a core-shell structured catalyst Na-Fe3 O4 @C is constructed to boost the CO2 hydrogenation performance. Benefiting from the carbon-chain growth limitation, tailorable H2 /CO2 ratio on the catalytic interface, and unique electronic property that all endowed by the confinement effect, the selectivity and space-time yield of light olefins (C2 = -C4 = ) are as high as 47.4 % and 15.9 g molFe -1 h-1 , respectively, which are all notably higher than that from the shell-less counterpart. The function mechanism of the confinement effect in Fe-based catalysts are clarified in detail by multiple characterization and density functional theory (DFT). This work may offer a new prospect for the rational design of CO2 hydrogenation catalyst.

Gu K, Lin S. Sustained Hydrogen Spillover on Pt/Cu(111) Single-Atom Alloy: Dynamic Insights into Gas-Induced Chemical Processes. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202312796. [PMID: 37830406 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202312796] [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: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogen spillover, involving the surface migration of dissociated hydrogen atoms from active metal sites to the relatively inert catalyst support, plays a crucial role in hydrogen-involved catalytic processes. However, a comprehensive understanding of how H atoms are driven to spill over from active sites onto the catalyst support is still lacking. Here, we examine the atomic-scale perspective of the H spillover process on a Pt/Cu(111) single atom alloy surface using machine-learning accelerated molecular dynamics calculations based on density functional theory. Our results show that when an impinging H2 dissociates at an active Pt site, the Pt atom undergoes deactivation due to the dissociated hydrogen atoms that attach to it. Interestingly, collisions between H2 and sticking H atoms facilitate H spillover onto the host Cu, leading to the reactivation of the Pt atom and the realization of a continuous H spillover process. This work underscores the importance of the interaction between gas molecules and adsorbates as a driving force in elucidating chemical processes under a gaseous atmosphere, which has so far been underappreciated in thermodynamic studies.

Abstract
LaMn0.5Cu0.5O3 (LMC) as the parent perovskite and Pd- and Pt-doped LaMn0.5Cu0.5O3 catalysts (LMCPd and LMCPt) instead of Cu were synthesized in a new solid-state synthesis technique at a low temperature. Perovskite lattice formation of the LMC catalyst was successfully performed at 600 °C. All perovskites were investigated by X-ray diffraction, HRTEM, O2-TPD, H2-TPR, BET, and XPS analyses. The prepared perovskites were used as heterogeneous catalysts for CO oxidation and methane combustion reactions. The catalytic performance of the LMC catalyst was noticeably enhanced via Pd and Pt substitution instead of Cu. The enhancement in the mobility of lattice oxygen and specific surface area has triggered this catalytic performance improvement, which play an important role in CO oxidation and methane combustion. The Mn 2p and Mn 3s XPS spectra showed that by doping Pd and Pt in the LMC perovskite, Mn was affected in different states and the Mn 3s peaks were only observed in the LMCPt catalyst. XPS spectra of the LMCPd1 sample showed a high oxidation state of Pd3+ or Pd4+, from which it can be concluded that Pd was successfully incorporated into the LMC perovskite lattice. The H2-TPR profiles of the LMCPd and LMCPt perovskites revealed that the reduction peaks of Cu and Mn were shifted to lower temperatures by increasing Pd and Pt partial substitution due to the synergetic effect of the cation and the H2-spillover effect of palladium and platinum.

Abstract
In the pursuit of sustainable clean energy sources, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has attained significant interest from the scientific community. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are among the most promising candidates for future electrocatalysis because they possess high thermal stability, effective electrical conductivity, and excellent percentage atom utilization. In the present study, the applicability of late first-row transition metals (Fe-Zn) decorated on the magnesium oxide nanocage (TM@Mg12O12) as SACs for the HER has been studied, via density functional theory. The late first-row transition metals have been chosen as they have high abundance and are relatively low-cost. Among the studied systems, results show that the Fe@Mg12O12 SAC is the best candidate for catalyzing the HER reaction as it exhibits the lowest activation barrier for HER. Moreover, Fe@Mg12O12 shows high stability (Eint = -1.64 eV), which is essential in designing SACs to prevent aggregation of the metal. Furthermore, the results of the electronic properties' analysis showed that the HOMO-LUMO gap of the nanocage is decreased significantly upon doping of Fe (from 4.81 to 2.28 eV), indicating an increase in the conductivity of the system. This study highlights the potential application of the TM@nanocage SAC systems as effective HER catalysts.

Abstract
Ternary Pd-In2 O3 /ZrO2 catalysts exhibit technological potential for CO2 -based methanol synthesis, but developing scalable systems and comprehending complex dynamic behaviors of the active phase, promoter, and carrier are key for achieving high productivity. Here, we show that the structure of Pd-In2 O3 /ZrO2 systems prepared by wet impregnation evolves under CO2 hydrogenation conditions into a selective and stable architecture, independent of the order of addition of Pd and In phases on the zirconia carrier. Detailed operando characterization and simulations reveal a rapid restructuring driven by the metal-metal oxide interaction energetics. The proximity of InPdx alloy particles decorated by InOx layers in the resulting architecture prevents performance losses associated with Pd sintering. The findings highlight the crucial role of reaction-induced restructuring in complex CO2 hydrogenation catalysts and offer insights into the optimal integration of acid-base and redox functions for practical implementation.

Abstract
Chemical upcycling of polyethylene (PE) can convert plastic waste into valuable resources. However, engineering a catalyst that allows PE decomposition at low temperatures with high activity remains a significant challenge. Herein, we anchored 0.2 wt.% platinum (Pt) on defective two-dimensional tungsten trioxide (2D WO3 ) nanosheets and achieved hydrocracking of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) waste at 200-250 °C with a liquid fuel (C5-18 ) formation rate up to 1456 gproducts ⋅ gmetal species -1 ⋅ h-1 . The reaction pathway over the bifunctional 2D Pt/WO3 is elucidated by quasi-operando transmission infrared spectroscopy, where (I) well-dispersed Pt immobilized on 2D WO3 nanosheets trigger the dissociation of hydrogen; (II) adsorption of PE and activation of C-C cleavage on WO3 are through the formation of C=O/C=C intermediates; (III) intermediates are converted to alkane products by the dissociated H. Our study directly illustrates the synergistic role of bifunctional Pt/WO3 catalyst in the hydrocracking of HDPE, paving the way for the development of high-performance catalysts with optimized chemical and morphological properties.

Abstract
In confined mesoscopic spaces, the unraveling of a catalytic mechanism with complex mass transfer and adsorption processes such as reactant enrichment is a great challenge. In this study, a hollow nanoarchitecture of MnOx-encapsulated Pt nanoparticles was designed as a nanoreactor to investigate the reactant enrichment in a mesoscopic hollow void. By employing advanced characterization techniques, we found that the reactant-enrichment behavior is derived from directional diffusion of the reactant driven through the local concentration gradient and this increased the amount of reactant. Combining experimental results with density functional theory calculations, the superior cinnamyl alcohol (COL) selectivity originates from the selective adsorption of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) and the rapid formation and desorption of COL in the MnOx shell. The superb performance of 95% CAL conversion and 95% COL selectivity is obtained at only 0.5 MPa H2 and 40 min. Our findings showcase that a rationally designed nanoreactor could boost catalytic performance in chemoselective hydrogenation, which can be of great aid and potential in various application scenarios.

Abstract
The regeneration of the reduced form cofactor NAD(P)H is essential for the extra-cellular application of bio-reduction, which necessitates not only the development of efficient artificial NAD(P)H regeneration catalytic system but also its well compatibility with the cascade enzymatic reduction system. In this work, we reported the preparation of a metal nanoparticle (NP) and metal complex integrated core-shell nanoreactor for H2 -driven NAD(P)H regeneration through the immobilization of a Rh complex on Ni/TiO2 surface via a bipyridine contained 3D porous organic polymer (POP). In comparison with the corresponding single component metal NPs and the immobilized Rh complex, the integrated catalyst presented simultaneously enhanced activity and selectivity in NAD(P)H regeneration thanks to the rapid spillover of activated H species from metal NPs to Rh complex. In addition, the size-sieving effect of POP precluded the direct interaction of enzyme and Rh complex confined in the pores, enabling the success coupling of core-shell nanoreactor and aldehyde ketone reductase (AKR) for chemoenzymatic reduction of acetophenone to (R)-1-phenylethan-1-ol. This work provides a strategy for the rational manipulation of multicomponent cooperation catalysis.

Abstract
Hydrogen spillover is the migration of activated hydrogen atoms from a metal particle onto the surface of catalyst support, which has made significant progress in heterogeneous catalysis. The phenomenon has been well researched on oxide supports, yet its occurrence, detection method and mechanism on non-oxide supports such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) remain controversial. Herein, we develop a facile strategy for efficiency enhancement of hydrogen spillover on various MOFs with the aid of water molecules. By encapsulating platinum (Pt) nanoparticles in MOF-801 for activating hydrogen and hydrogenation of C=C in the MOF ligand as activated hydrogen detector, a research platform is built with Pt@MOF-801 to measure the hydrogenation region for quantifying the efficiency and spatial extent of hydrogen spillover. A water-assisted hydrogen spillover path is found with lower migration energy barrier than the traditional spillover path via ligand. The synergy of the two paths explains a significant boost of hydrogen spillover in MOF-801 from imperceptible existence to spanning at least 100-nm-diameter region. Moreover, such strategy shows universality in different MOF and covalent organic framework materials for efficiency promotion of hydrogen spillover and improvement of catalytic activity and antitoxicity, opening up new horizons for catalyst design in porous crystalline materials.

Herein, the dual-active sites of platinum (Pt) clusters and frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) on porous CeO2 nanorods (Ptcluster /PN-CeO2 ) provide an interface-independent pathway to boost high performance RWGS reaction at low temperatures. Mechanistic investigations illustrate that Pt clusters can effectively activate and dissociate H2 . The FLP sites, instead of the metal and support interfaces, not only enhance the strong adsorption and activation of CO2 , but also significantly weaken CO adsorption on FLP to facilitate CO release and suppress the CH4 formation. With the help of hydrogen spillover from Pt to PN-CeO2 , the Ptcluster /PN-CeO2 catalysts achieved a CO yield of 29.6 %, which is very close to the thermodynamic equilibrium yield of CO (29.8 %) at 350 °C. Meanwhile, the Ptcluster /PN-CeO2 catalysts delivered a large turnover frequency of 8720 h-1 . Moreover, Ptcluster /PN-CeO2 operated stably and continuously for at least 840 h. This finding provides a promising path toward optimizing the RWGS reaction.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202309377. [PMID: 37503791 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202309377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
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
High-entropy alloy (HEA) nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted significant attention as promising catalysts owing to the various unique synergistic effects originating from the nanometer-scale, near-equimolar mixing of five or more components to produce single-phase solid solutions. However, the study of sub-nanometer HEA clusters having sizes of less than 1 nm remains incomplete despite the possibility of novel functions related to borderline molecular states with discrete quantum energy levels. The present work demonstrates the synthesis of CeO2 nanorods (CeO2-NRs) on which sub-nanometer CoNiCuZnPd HEA clusters were formed with the aid of a pronounced hydrogen spillover effect on readily reducible CeO2 (110) facets. The CoNiCuZnPd HEA sub-nanoclusters exhibited higher activity during the reduction of NO by H2 even at low temperatures compared with the corresponding monometallic catalysts. These clusters also showed a unique structural reversibility in response to repeated exposure to oxidative/reductive conditions, based on the sacrificial oxidation of the non-noble metals. Both experimental and theoretical analyses established that multielement mixing in quantum-sized regions endowed the HEA clusters with entirely novel catalytic properties.

[PMID: 37654595 PMCID: PMC10466333 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.3c00330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
The addition of platinum-group metals (PGMs, e.g., Pt) to CeO2 is used in heterogeneous catalysis to promote the rate of redox surface reactions. Well-defined model system studies have shown that PGMs facilitate H2 dissociation, H-spillover onto CeO2 surfaces, and CeO2 surface reduction. However, it remains unclear how the heterogeneous structures and interfaces that exist on powder catalysts influence the mechanistic picture of PGM-promoted H2 reactions on CeO2 surfaces developed from model system studies. Here, controlled catalyst synthesis, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), in situ infrared spectroscopy (IR), and in situ electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) were used to interrogate the mechanisms of how Pt nanoclusters and single atoms influence H2 reactions on high-surface area Pt/CeO2 powder catalysts. TPR showed that Pt promotes H2 consumption rates on Pt/CeO2 even when Pt exists on a small fraction of CeO2 particles, suggesting that H-spillover proceeds far from Pt-CeO2 interfaces and across CeO2-CeO2 particle interfaces. IR and EELS measurements provided evidence that Pt changes the mechanism of H2 activation and the rate limiting step for Ce3+, oxygen vacancy, and water formation as compared to pure CeO2. As a result, higher-saturation surface hydroxyl coverages can be achieved on Pt/CeO2 compared to pure CeO2. Further, Ce3+ formed by spillover-H from Pt is heterogeneously distributed and localized at and around interparticle CeO2-CeO2 boundaries, while activated H2 on pure CeO2 results in homogeneously distributed Ce3+. Ce3+ localization at and around CeO2-CeO2 boundaries for Pt/CeO2 is accompanied by surface reconstruction that enables faster rates of H2 consumption. This study reconciles the materials gap between model structures and powder catalysts for H2 reactions with Pt/CeO2 and highlights how the spatial heterogeneity of powder catalysts dictates the influence of Pt on H2 reactions at CeO2 surfaces.

Abstract
Direct propane dehydrogenation (PDH) to propylene is a desirable commercial reaction but is highly endothermic and severely limited by thermodynamic equilibrium. Routes that oxidatively remove hydrogen as water have safety and cost challenges. We coupled chemical looping-selective hydrogen (H2) combustion and PDH with multifunctional ferric vanadate-vanadium oxide (FeVO4-VOx) redox catalysts. Well-dispersed VOx supported on aluminum oxide (Al2O3) provides dehydrogenation sites, and adjacent nanoscale FeVO4 acts as an oxygen carrier for subsequent H2 combustion. We achieved an integral performance of 81.3% propylene selectivity at 42.7% propane conversion at 550°C for 200 chemical looping cycles for the reoxidization of FeVO4. Based on catalytic experiments, spectroscopic characterization, and theory calculations, we propose a hydrogen spillover-mediated coupling mechanism. The hydrogen species generated at the VOx sites migrated to adjacent FeVO4 for combustion, which shifted PDH toward propylene. This mechanism is favored by the proximity between the dehydrogenation and combustion sites.
