Abstract
The direct co-conversion of methane and carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals has been a longstanding scientific pursuit for carbon neutrality and combating climate change. Herein, we present a photo-driven chemical process that reforms these two major greenhouse gases together to generate green methanol and CO, two high-valued industrial chemicals. Isotopic labeling and control experiments indicate an oxygen-atom-graft occurs, wherein CO2 transfers one O into the C-H bond of CH4 via photo-activated interfacial catalysis with AuPd nanoparticles supported on GaN. The photoexcited AuPd/GaN interface effectively orchestrates the CH4 oxidation and the CO2 reduction producing 13.66 mmol g-1 of CH3OH yield over 10 h. This design provides a solid scientific basis for the photo-driven oxygen-atom-grafting process to be further extended to visible light region.

Abstract
The surface frustrated Lewis pairs (SFLPs) open up new opportunities for substituting noble metals in the activation and conversion of stable molecules. However, the applications of SFLPs on a larger scale are impeded by the complex construction process, low surface density, and sensitivity to the reaction environment. Herein, wurtzite-structured crystals such as GaN, ZnO, and AlP are found for developing natural, dense, and stable SFLPs. It is revealed that the SFLPs can naturally exist on the (100) and (110) surfaces of wurtzite-structured crystals. All the surface cations and anions serve as the Lewis acid and Lewis base in SFLPs, respectively, contributing to the surface density of SFLPs as high as 7.26×1014 cm-2. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the SFLPs can keep stable under high temperatures and the reaction atmospheres of CO and H2O. Moreover, outstanding performance for activating the given small molecules is achieved on these natural SFLPs, which originates from the optimal orbital overlap between SFLPs and small molecules. Overall, these findings not only provide a simple method to obtain dense and stable SFLPs but also unfold the nature of SFLPs toward the facile activation of small molecules.

Abstract
The spatial distribution of framework Al (AlF) has been one of the important factors that affect the catalytic properties of zeolites in diverse chemical reactions; however, the synthesis of high-silica zeolites with special AlF distribution remains a challenge. In this study, we successfully synthesized high-silica ZSM-5 zeolites with a unique AlF distribution by employing pentaerythritol (PET) as an additive in the presence of a few tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH). The results demonstrated that the introduction of PET led to a higher proportion of Al atoms located at the sinusoidal and/or straight channels. It was observed that the addition of PET prevented the interaction between TPA+ and tetrahedral [AlO4]- during the crystallization process, resulting in enhanced availability of TPA species in the form of ion-paired TPA+. This effect leads to AlF atoms dominantly distributed away from the intersection and located in narrow channels, where acidic sites more effectively inhibit hydrogen transfer and coke formation. In the reaction of dimethyl ether (DME) to olefins, the catalyst with a unique Al distribution exhibited a significant prolonged catalytic lifetime, surpassing traditional TPA-ZSM-5 by more than 2-fold and maintaining DME conversion above 90% for a maximum of 148 h. The results of multiple pulse experiments also showed that these PET-assisted ZSM-5 zeolites significantly enhanced the selectivity of propene and butene. This approach provides an effective strategy to regulate AlF distribution in high-silica ZSM-5 catalysts with the assistance of neutral alcohol. It holds great potential for application in the synthesis of other high-silica zeolites, thereby enriching the diversity of zeolite catalysis.

Abstract
Gallium nitride (GaN) single crystal, as the representative of wide-band semiconductors, has great prospects for high-temperature energy storage, of its splendid power output, robust temperature stability, and superior carrier mobility. Nonetheless, it is an essential challenge for GaN-based devices to improve energy storage. Herein, an innovative strategy is proposed by constructing GaN/Nickel cobalt oxygen (NiCoO2 )heterostructure for enhanced supercapacitors (SCs). Benefiting from the synergy effect between the porous GaN network as a highly conductive skeleton and the NiCoO2 with massive active sites. The GaN/NiCoO2 heterostructure-based SCs with ion liquids electrolyte are assembled and delivered an impressive energy density of 15.2 µWh cm-2 and power density, as well as superior service life at 130 °C. The theoretical calculation further explains that the reason for the energy storage enhancement of the GaN/NiCoO2 is due to the presence of the built-in electric fields. This work offers a novel perspective for meeting the practical application of GaN-based energy storage devices with exceptional performance capable of operation under high-temperature environments.

Abstract
The CO2 methanation reaction, which achieves the carbon cycle and gains value-added chemicals, has attracted much attention, but the design and exploitation of highly active catalysts remain a big challenge. Herein, zirconium dioxide-supported Ni catalysts toward low-temperature CO2 methanation are obtained via structural topological transformation of NiZrAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors, which have the feature of an interfacial structure (Ni-O-Zr3+-Vö) between Ni nanoparticles and ZrO2-x support (0 < x < 1). The optimized catalyst (Ni/ZrO2-x-S2) exhibits exceptional CO2 conversion (∼72%) at a temperature as low as 230 °C with a ∼100% selectivity to CH4, without obvious catalyst deactivation within a 110 h reaction at a high gas hourly space velocity of 30,000 mL·g-1·h-1. Markedly, the space-time yield of CH4 reaches up to ∼0.17 molCH4·gcat-1·h-1, which is superior to previously reported Ni catalysts evaluated under similar reaction conditions. Both in situ/operando investigations (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure) and catalytic evaluations substantiate the interfacial synergistic catalysis at the Ni/ZrO2-x interface: the Zr3+-Vö facilitates the activation adsorption of CO2, while the H2 molecule experiences dissociation at the metallic Ni sites. This work demonstrates that the metal-support interface effect plays a key role in improving the catalytic behavior toward CO2 methanation, which can be extended to other high-performance heterogeneous catalysts toward structure-sensitive systems.

Abstract
Ballistic thermal transport at nanoscale hotspots will greatly reduce the performance of a Gallium nitride (GaN) device when its characteristic length reaches the nanometer scale. In this work, the authors develop a tip-enhanced Raman thermometry approach to study ballistic thermal transport within the range of 10 nm in GaN, simultaneously achieving laser heating and measuring the local temperature. The Raman results show that the temperature increase from an Au-coated tip-focused hotspot up to two times higher (40 K) than that in a bare tip-focused region (20 K). To further investigate the possible mechanisms behind this temperature difference, the authors perform electromagnetic simulations to generate a highly focused heating field, and observe a highly localized optical penetration, within a range of 10 nm. The phonon mean free path (MFP) of the GaN substrate can thus be determined by comparing the numerical simulation results with the experimentally measured temperature increase which is in good agreement with the average MFP weighted by the mode-specific thermal conductivity, as calculated from first-principles simulations. The results demonstrate that the phonon MFP of a material can be rapidly predicted through a combination of experiments and simulations, which can find wide application in the thermal management of GaN-based electronics.

Abstract
A new rhodamine derivative, HL-CIN, derived from a reaction between N-(rhodamine-6G)lactam-ethylenediamine (L1) and trans-cinnamaldehyde, is reported here for the colorimetric and fluorogenic sensing of Group 13 trivalent cations, namely Al3+, Ga3+, In3+ and Tl3+. The absorption intensity of the probe increases significantly at 530 nm whereas the fluorescence intensity enhances massively at 558 nm upon interaction with these metal ions. Other relevant metal ions could not impart any noticeable color change or fluorescence enhancement. The quantum yield or fluorescence life time of HL-CIN increases considerably in the presence of these Group 13 metal ions. Different spectral studies such as ESI-mass, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra, establish that HL-CIN undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of the trivalent cations and a rhodamine species in its ring opened form (i.e. N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-((6Z)-3-(ethylamino)-6-(ethylimino)-2,7-dimethyl-6H-xanthen-9-yl)benzamide, (L2)) along with cinnamaldehyde are produced. The rhodamine species in its ring opened form (L2) is responsible for the color change and strong increment in the absorbance and fluorescence of HL-CIN with Group 13 cations. Interaction between L1 and these metal ions could not produce the same outcome. It has been used in test paper strips and to detect these cations in real samples.

Abstract
The catalytic hydrogenation of captured CO2 by different industrial processes allows obtaining liquid biofuels and some chemical products that not only present the interest of being obtained from a very low-cost raw material (CO2) that indeed constitutes an environmental pollution problem but also constitute an energy vector, which can facilitate the storage and transport of very diverse renewable energies. Thus, the combined use of green H2 and captured CO2 to obtain chemical products and biofuels has become attractive for different processes such as power-to-liquids (P2L) and power-to-gas (P2G), which use any renewable power to convert carbon dioxide and water into value-added, synthetic renewable E-fuels and renewable platform molecules, also contributing in an important way to CO2 mitigation. In this regard, there has been an extraordinary increase in the study of supported metal catalysts capable of converting CO2 into synthetic natural gas, according to the Sabatier reaction, or in dimethyl ether, as in power-to-gas processes, as well as in liquid hydrocarbons by the Fischer-Tropsch process, and especially in producing methanol by P2L processes. As a result, the current review aims to provide an overall picture of the most recent research, focusing on the last five years, when research in this field has increased dramatically.

Abstract
Selective conversion of specific functional groups to desired products is highly important but still challenging in industrial catalytic processes. The adsorption state of surface species is the key factor in modulating the conversion of functional groups, which is correspondingly determined by the uniformity of active sites. However, the non-identical number of metal atoms, geometric shape, and morphology of conventional nanometer-sized metal particles/clusters normally lead to the non-uniform active sites with diverse geometric configurations and local coordination environments, which causes the distinct adsorption states of surface species. Hence, it is highly desired to modulate the homogeneity of the active sites so that the catalytic transformations can be better confined to the desired direction. In this review, the construction strategies and characterization techniques of the uniform active sites that are atomically dispersed on various supports are examined. In particular, their unique behavior in boosting the catalytic performance in various chemical transformations is discussed, including selective hydrogenation, selective oxidation, Suzuki coupling, and other catalytic reactions. In addition, the dynamic evolution of the active sites under reaction conditions and the industrial utilization of the single-atom catalysts are highlighted. Finally, the current challenges and frontiers are identified, and the perspectives on this flourishing field is provided.

Abstract
Synthesis of higher alcohols (C2-4OH) by CO2 hydrogenation presents a promising way to convert CO2 into value-added fuels and chemicals. Understanding the thermodynamics of CO2 hydrogenation is of great importance to tailor the reaction network toward synthesis of higher alcohols; however, the thermodynamic effects of various alcohol isomers and methane in the reaction system have not yet been fully understood. Thus, we used Aspen Plus to perform thermodynamic analysis of CO2 hydrogenation to higher alcohols, studying the effects of alcohol isomers and methane. Thermodynamically, methane is the most favorable product in a reaction system containing CO, CO2, and H2, as well as C1-4 alkanes, alkenes, and alcohols. The thermodynamic favorability of alcohol isomers varies significantly. The presence of methane generally deteriorates the formation of higher alcohols. However, low temperature, high pressure, high H2/CO2 ratio, and formation of alcohols with a longer carbon chain can reduce the effects of methane. Our current study, therefore, provides new insights for enhancing the synthesis of higher alcohols by CO2 hydrogenation.

RARE METALS 2022; 41:2129-2152. [PMID: 35291268 PMCID: PMC8913863 DOI: 10.1007/s12598-021-01959-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 11/13/2021] [Accepted: 11/25/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
CO2-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (CO2-ODHP) is an attractive strategy to offset the demand gap of propylene due to its potentiality of reducing CO2 emissions, especially under the demands of peaking CO2 emissions and carbon neutrality. The introduction of CO2 as a soft oxidant into the reaction not only averts the over-oxidation of products, but also maintains the high oxidation state of the redox-active sites. Furthermore, the presence of CO2 increases the conversion of propane by coupling the dehydrogenation of propane (DHP) with the reverse water gas reaction (RWGS) and inhibits the coking formation to prolong the lifetime of catalysts via the reverse Boudouard reaction. An effective catalyst should selectively activate the C-H bond but suppress the C-C cleavage. However, to prepare such a catalyst remains challenging. Chromium-based catalysts are always applied in industrial application of DHP; however, their toxic properties are harmful to the environment. In this aspect, exploring environment-friendly and sustainable catalytic systems with Cr-free is an important issue. In this review, we outline the development of the CO2-ODHP especially in the last ten years, including the structural information, catalytic performances, and mechanisms of chromium-free metal-based catalyst systems, and the role of CO2 in the reaction. We also present perspectives for future progress in the CO2-ODHP.

Abstract
The emerging process of CO2 hydrogenation through heterogenous catalysis into important bulk chemicals provides an alternative strategy for sustainable and low-cost production of valuable chemicals, and brings an important chance for mitigating CO2 emissions. Direct synthesis of the family of unsaturated heavy hydrocarbons such as α-olefins and aromatics via CO2 hydrogenation is more attractive and challenging than the production of short-chain products to modern society, suffering from the difficult control between C-O activation and C-C coupling towards long-chain hydrocarbons. In the past several years, rapid progress has been achieved in the development of efficient catalysts for the process and understanding of their catalytic mechanisms. In this review, we provide a comprehensive, authoritative and critical overview of the substantial progress in the synthesis of α-olefins and aromatics from CO2 hydrogenation via direct and indirect routes. The rational fabrication and design of catalysts, proximity effects of multi-active sites, stability and deactivation of catalysts, reaction mechanisms and reactor design are systematically discussed. Finally, current challenges and potential applications in the development of advanced catalysts, as well as opportunities of next-generation CO2 hydrogenation techniques for carbon neutrality in future are proposed.
