Abstract
Alkane dehydrogenation is an enabling route to make alkenes useful as chemical intermediates. This study demonstrates the high reactivity of Lewis acid-base (LAB) site pairs at ZrO2 powders for dehydrogenation of C2-C4 alkanes and the essential requirement for chemical treatments to remove strongly bound H2O and CO2 titrants to avoid the high temperatures required for their desorption and the concomitant loss of active sites through sintering and annealing of ZrO2 crystallites. The energies and free energies of bound intermediates and transition states from density functional theory (DFT), taken together with kinetic analysis and isotopic methods, demonstrated the kinetic relevance and heterolytic character of the first C-H activation at terminal C-atoms for all alkanes with a modest activation barrier (84 kJ mol-1) at essentially bare Zr-O LAB site pairs. β-Hydride elimination from the formed alkyl carbanions lead to their desorption as alkene products in steps that are favored over their parallel C-C cleavage reactions (by 100 kJ mol-1), leading to high dehydrogenation selectivities (>98%) at the temperatures required for practical yields in such endothermic dehydrogenation reactions (700-900 K). The facile recombination of bound proton-hydride pairs then completes a dehydrogenation turnover. These findings provide compelling evidence for the remarkable reactivity and selectivity of LAB sites on earth-abundant oxides and for the need to uncover them through chemical treatments, which combine to give gravimetric dehydrogenation rates that exceed those on the toxic (Cr) or costly (Pt) catalysts used in practice.

Abstract
Closed-loop recycling via an efficient chemical process can help alleviate the global plastic waste crisis. However, conventional depolymerization methods for polyolefins, which compose more than 50% of plastics, demand high temperatures and pressures, employ precious noble metals, and/or yield complex mixtures of products limited to single-use fuels or oils. Superacidic forms of sulfated zirconia (SZrO) with Hammet Acidity Functions (H0) ≤ - 12 (i.e., stronger than 100% H2SO4) are industrially deployed heterogeneous catalysts capable of activating hydrocarbons under mild conditions and are shown to decompose polyolefins at temperatures near 200 °C and ambient pressure. Additionally, confinement of active sites in porous supports is known to radically increase selectivity, coking and sintering resistance, and acid site activity, presenting a possible approach to low-energy polyolefin depolymerization. However, a critical examination of the literature on SZrO led us to a surprising conclusion: despite 40 years of catalytic study, engineering, and industrial use, the surface chemistry of SZrO is poorly understood. Ostensibly spurred by SZrO's impressive catalytic activity, the application-driven study of SZrO has resulted in deleterious ambiguity in requisite synthetic conditions for superacidity and insufficient characterization of acidity, porosity, and active site structure. This ambiguity has produced significant knowledge gaps surrounding the synthesis, structure, and mechanisms of hydrocarbon activation for optimized SZrO, stunting the potential of this catalyst in olefin cracking and other industrially relevant reactions, such as isomerization, esterification, and alkylation. Toward mitigating these long extant issues, we herein identify and highlight these current shortcomings and knowledge gaps, propose explicit guidelines for characterization of and reporting on characterization of solid acidity, and discuss the potential of pore-confined superacids in the efficient and selective depolymerization of polyolefins.

Abstract
Isosorbide, a bicyclic C6 diol, has considerable value as a precursor for the production of bio-derived polymers. Current production of isosorbide from sorbitol utilizes homogeneous acid, commonly H2SO4, creating harmful waste and complicating separation. Thus, a heterogeneous acid catalyst capable of producing isosorbide from sorbitol in high yield under mild conditions would be desirable. Reported here is a quantitative investigation of the liquid-phase dehydration of neat sorbitol over sulfated zirconia (SZ) solid acid catalysts produced via sol-gel synthesis. The catalyst preparation allows for precise surface area control (morphology) and tunable catalytic activity. The S/Zr ratio (0.1-2.0) and calcination temperature (425-625 °C) were varied to evaluate their effects on morphology, acidity, and reaction kinetics and, as a result, to optimize the catalytic system for this transformation. With the optimal SZ catalyst, complete conversion of sorbitol occurred in <2 h under mild conditions to give isosorbide in 76% yield. Overall, the quantitative kinetics and structure-reactivity studies provided valuable insights into the parameters that govern product yields and SZ catalyst activity, central among these being the relative proportion of acid site types and Brønsted surface density.

Abstract
Modern industry of advanced polyolefins extensively uses Group 4 metallocene and post-metallocene catalysts. High-throughput polyolefin technologies demand the use of heterogeneous catalysts with a given particle size and morphology, high thermal stability, and controlled productivity. Conventional Group 4 metal single-site heterogeneous catalysts require the use of high-cost methylalumoxane (MAO) or perfluoroaryl borate activators. However, a number of inorganic phases, containing highly acidic Lewis and Brønsted sites, are able to activate Group 4 metal pre-catalysts using low-cost and affordable alkylaluminums. In the present review, we gathered comprehensive information on MAO- and borate-free activating supports of different types and discussed the surface nature and chemistry of these phases, examples of their use in the polymerization of ethylene and α-olefins, and prospects of the further development for applications in the polyolefin industry.

Abstract
The formation and properties of silver and iron nanoscale components in the Ag-Fe bimetallic system deposited on mordenite depend on several parameters during their preparation. Previously, it was shown that an important condition for optimizing nano-center properties in a bimetallic catalyst is to change the order of sequential deposition of components; the order "first Ag+, then Fe2+" was chosen as optimal. In this work, the influence of exact Ag/Fe atomic proportion on the system's physicochemical properties was studied. This ratio has been confirmed to affect the stoichiometry of the reduction-oxidation processes involving Ag+ and Fe2+, as shown by XRD, DR UV-Vis, XPS, and XAFS data, while HRTEM, SBET and TPD-NH3 show little change. However, it was found the correlation between the occurrence and amount of the Fe3+ ions incorporated into the zeolite's framework and the experimentally determined catalytic activities towards the model de-NOx reaction along the series of nanomaterials elucidated in this present paper.

Abstract
The effect of the sulfation of zirconia catalysts on their structure, acidity/basicity, and catalytic activity/selectivity toward the ketonization of organic acids is investigated by a combined experimental and computational method. Here, we show that, upon sulfation, zirconia catalysts exhibit a significant increase in their Brønsted and Lewis acid strength, whereas their Lewis basicity is significantly reduced. Such changes in the interplay between acid-base sites result in an improvement of the selectivity toward the ketonization process, although the measured conversion rates show a significant drop. We report a detailed DFT investigation of the putative surface species on sulfated zirconia, including the possible formation of dimeric pyrosulfate (S2O7 2-) species. Our results show that the formation of such a dimeric system is an endothermic process, with energy barriers ranging between 60.0 and 70.0 kcal mol-1, and which is likely to occur only at high SO4 2- coverages (4 S/nm2), high temperatures, and dehydrating conditions. Conversely, the formation of monomeric species is expected at lower SO4 2- coverages, mild temperatures, and in the presence of water, which are the usual conditions experienced during the chemical upgrading of biofuels.

Abstract
![]()
We present a methodology
to compute, at reduced computational cost,
Gibbs free energies, enthalpies, and entropies of adsorption from
molecular dynamics. We calculate vibrational partition functions from
vibrational energies, which we obtain from the vibrational density
of states by projection on the normal modes. The use of a set of well-chosen
reference structures along the trajectories accounts for the anharmonicities
of the modes. For the adsorption of methane, ethane, and propane in
the H-CHA zeolite, we limit our treatment to a set of vibrational
modes localized at the adsorption site (zeolitic OH group) and the
alkane molecule interacting with it. Only two short trajectories (1–20
ps) are required to reach convergence (<1 kJ/mol) for the thermodynamic
functions. The mean absolute deviations from the experimentally measured
values are 2.6, 2.8, and 4.7 kJ/mol for the Gibbs free energy, the
enthalpy, and the entropy term (−TΔS),
respectively. In particular, the entropy terms show a major improvement
compared to the harmonic approximation and almost reach the accuracy
of the previous use of anharmonic frequencies obtained with curvilinear
distortions of individual modes. The thermodynamic functions so obtained
follow the trend of the experimental values for methane, ethane, and
propane, and the Gibbs free energy of adsorption at experimental conditions
is correctly predicted to change from positive for methane (5.9 kJ/mol)
to negative for ethane (−4.8 kJ/mol) and propane (−7.1
kJ/mol).

Abstract
In this work, a set of density-functional tight-binding (DFTB) parameters for the Zr-Zr, Zr-O, Y-Y, Y-O, and Zr-Y interactions was developed for bulk and surface simulations of ZrO2 (zirconia), Y2O3 (yttria), and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) materials. The parameterization lays the ground work for realistic simulations of zirconia-, yttria-, and YSZ-based electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells and YSZ-based catalysts on long timescales and relevant size scales. The parameterization was validated for the zirconia and yttria polymorphs observed under standard conditions based on density functional theory calculations and experimental data. Additionally, we performed DFTB-based molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to compute structural and vibrational properties of these materials. The results show that the parameters can give a qualitatively correct phase ordering of zirconia, where the tetragonal phase is more stable than the cubic phase at a lower temperature. The lattice parameters are only slightly overestimated by 0.05-0.1 Å (2% error), still within the typical accuracy of first-principles methods. Additionally, the MD results confirm that zirconia and yttria phases are stable against transformations under standard conditions. The parameterization also predicts that vibrational spectra are within the range of 100-1000 cm-1 for zirconia and 100-800 cm-1 for yttria, which is in good agreement with predictions both from full quantum mechanics and a recently developed classical force field. To further demonstrate the advantage of the developed DFTB parameters in terms of computational resources, we conducted DFTB/MD simulations of the YSZ4 and YS12 models containing approximately 750 atoms.

Abstract
Thin film structures of water on the CeO2(111) surface for coverages between 0.5 and 2.0 water monolayers have been optimized and analyzed using density functional theory (optPBE-vdW functional). We present a new 1.0 ML structure that is both the lowest in energy published and features a hydrogen-bond network extending the surface in one-dimension, contrary to what has been found in the literature, and contrary to what has been expected due to the large bulk ceria cell dimension. The adsorption energies for the monolayer and multilayered water structures agree well with experimental temperature programmed desorption results from the literature, and we discuss the stability window of CeO2(111) surfaces covered with 0.5-2.0 ML of water.

Abstract
Butane activation has been studied using three types of sulfated zirconia materials, single crystalline epitaxial films, nanocrystalline films, and powders. A surface phase diagram of zirconia in interaction with SO(3) and water was established by DFT calculations, which was verified by LEED investigations on single-crystalline films and by IR spectroscopy on powders. At high sulfate surface densities a pyrosulfate species is the prevailing structure in the dehydrated state; if such species are absent, the materials are inactive. Theory and experiment show that the pyrosulfate can react with butane to give butene, H(2)O and SO(2), hence butane can be activated via oxidative dehydrogenation. This reaction occurred on all investigated materials; however, isomerization could only be proven for powders. Transient and equilibrium adsorption measurements in a wide pressure and temperature range (isobars measured via UPS on nanocrystalline films, microcalorimetry and temporal analysis of products measurements on powders) show weak and reversible interaction of butane with a majority of sites but reactive interaction with <5 micromol g(-1) sites. Consistently, the catalysts could be poisoned by adding sodium to the surface in a ratio S/Na = 35. Future research will have to clarify what distinguishes these few sites.

Abstract
Single-crystalline sulfated c-ZrO2(111) films of the cubic (c) type have been prepared by reactive deposition of Zr onto Pt(111) in an O2 atmosphere and subsequent exposition to a SO3 atmosphere. The morphology, atomic structure, and composition have been examined by scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), Auger electron spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The clean c-ZrO2(111) films display a (2x2) surface structure. During SO3 exposure at room temperature, a clear (radical3xradical3)R30 degrees structure develops. At about 700 K, the SO3-induced (radical3xradical3)R30 degrees structure disappears and the bright (2x2) LEED pattern of the clean ZrO2 films reappears. The energies of plausible c-ZrO2(111)/SO3 structures have been examined by DFT. The (radical3xradical3)R30 degrees structure found in the experiments turned out to be the most stable one for temperatures below 700 K. At temperatures around 700 K, a disordered low coverage structure may exist, which can not be observed by conventional LEED. A comparison of cubic zirconia surfaces with the alternative tetragonal system yields similar results for the SO3 adsorption in the DFT calculations and shows that c-ZrO2 surfaces are good models for the industrial used tetragonal ZrO2 supports.

Abstract
Catalytic activation and conversion of light alkanes by sulfated zirconia is unequivocally shown to be initiated by producing small concentrations of olefins. This occurs via stoichiometric oxidative dehydrogenation of butane by SO3 or pyrosulfate groups to butene (present mostly as alkoxy groups), water, and SO2. Thermal desorption and in situ IR spectroscopy have been used to determine all three reaction products. The concentration of butene formed determines both the catalytic activity of sulfated zirconia as well as the deactivation via formation of oligomers. The thermodynamics of the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane by different SZ surface structures has been examined by density functional (DFT) calculations. The calculations show that pyrosulfate or re-adsorbed SO3 species have the highest oxidizing ability.
