[PMID: 38321849 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202301532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
Acetic acid reforming is a green method for sustainable hydrogen production owing to its renewable source from biomass conversion. However, conventional acetic acid reforming would produce various byproducts, including CO, CH4 and so on. Here, we develop a distinctive method for selective hydrogen production from C-C directional cleavage during acetic acid reforming. Completely different from conventional acetic acid reforming process, acetic acid would react with water over organoruthenium catalyst during its C-C cleavage at low temperature, then produce methanol and formic acid (CH3COOH+H2O→CH3OH+HCOOH). Lastly, methanol and formic acid could further decompose into hydrogen and carbon dioxide over organoruthenium selectively. As a result, there is little CO and CH4 produced in the first step of C-C bond cleavage during acetic acid reforming at 100 °C. Hydrogen production rate is up to 26.8 molH2/(h-1*mol-1 Ru) at 150 °C through a tandem catalysis. A mechanism for C-C cleavage of acetic acid is proposed based on intermediate product analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Firstly, the C-C single bond was transformed into C=C double bond by dropping one H atom to organoruthenium. Then the coming H2O molecule reacted with the C=C bond by an addition reaction, forming methanol and formic acid. This research not only proposes distinctive reaction pathway for hydrogen production from acetic acid reforming, but also provides some inspiration for selective C-C bond cleavage during ethanol reforming.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting for clean hydrogen production has been a very attractive research field for decades. However, the insightful understanding of the actual active sites and their impact on catalytic performance is still ambiguous. Herein, a Pr-doped TiO2-supported Cu single atom (SA) photocatalyst is successfully synthesized (noted as Cu/Pr-TiO2). It is found that Pr dopants passivate the formation of oxygen vacancies, promoting the density of photogenerated electrons on the CuSAs, and optimizing the electronic structure and H* adsorption behavior on the CuSA active sites. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of the obtained Cu/Pr-TiO2 catalyst reaches 32.88 mmol g-1 h-1, 2.3 times higher than the Cu/TiO2. Innovatively, the excellent catalytic activity and performance is attributed to the active sites change from O atoms to CuSAs after Pr doping is found. This work provides new insight for understanding the accurate roles of single atoms in photocatalytic water splitting.

Abstract
The dry reforming of methane provides an attractive route to convert greenhouse gases (CH4 and CO2) into valuable syngas, so as to resolve the carbon cycle and environmental issues. However, the development of high-performance catalysts remains a huge challenge. Herein, we report a 0.6% Ir/CeO2-x catalyst with a metal-support interface structure which exhibits high CH4 (~72%) and CO2 (~82%) conversion and a CH4 reaction rate of ~973 μmolCH4 gcat-1 s-1 which is stable over 100 h at 700 °C. The performance of the catalyst is close to the state-of-the-art in this area of research. A combination of in situ spectroscopic characterization and theoretical calculations highlight the importance of the interfacial structure as an intrinsic active center to facilitate the CH4 dissociation (the rate-determining step) and the CH2* oxidation to CH2O* without coke formation, which accounts for the long-term stability. The catalyst in this work has a potential application prospect in the field of high-value utilization of carbon resources.

Abstract
Light-driven hydrogen production from biomass derivatives offers a path towards carbon neutrality. It is often however operated with the limitations of sluggish kinetics and severe coking. Herein, a disruptive air-promoted strategy is explored for efficient and durable light-driven hydrogen production from ethanol over a core/shell Cr2O3@GaN nanoarchitecture. The correlative computational and experimental investigations show ethanol is energetically favorable to be adsorbed on the Cr2O3@GaN interface, followed by dehydrogenation toward acetaldehyde and protons by photoexcited holes. The released protons are then consumed for H2 evolution by photogenerated electrons. Afterward, O2 can be evolved into active oxygen species and promote the deprotonation and C-C cleavage of the key C2 intermediate, thus significantly lowering the reaction energy barrier of hydrogen evolution and removing the carbon residual with inhibited overoxidation. Consequently, hydrogen is produced at a high rate of 76.9 mole H2 per gram Cr2O3@GaN per hour by only feeding ethanol, air, and light, leading to the achievement of a turnover number of 266,943,000 mole H2 per mole Cr2O3 over a long-term operation of 180 hours. Notably, an unprecedented light-to-hydrogen efficiency of 17.6 % is achieved under concentrated light illumination. The simultaneous generation of aldehyde from ethanol dehydrogenation enables the process more economically promising.

Abstract
TiO2-supported Pt species have been widely applied in numerous critical reactions involving photo-, thermo-, and electrochemical-catalysis for decades. Manipulation of the state of the Pt species in Pt/TiO2 catalysts is crucial for fine-tuning their catalytic performance. Here, we report an interesting discovery showing the epitaxial growth of PtO2 atomic layers on rutile TiO2, potentially allowing control of the states of active Pt species in Pt/TiO2 catalysts. The presence of PtO2 atomic layers could modulate the geometric configuration and electronic state of the Pt species under reduction conditions, resulting in a spread of the particle shape and obtaining a Pt/PtO2/TiO2 structure with more positive valence of Pt species. As a result, such a catalyst exhibits exceptional electrocatalytic activity and stability toward hydrogen evolution reaction, while also promoting the thermocatalytic CO oxidation, surpassing the performance of the Pt/TiO2 catalyst with no epitaxial structure. This novel epitaxial growth of the PtO2 structure on rutile TiO2 in Pt/TiO2 catalysts shows its potential in the rational design of highly active and economical catalysts toward diverse catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Ru-related catalysts have shown excellent performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR); however, a deep understanding of Ru-active sites on a nanoscale heterogeneous support for hydrogen catalysis is still lacking. Herein, a click chemistry strategy is proposed to design Ru cluster-decorated nanometer RuxFe3-xO4 heterointerfaces (Ru/RuxFe3-xO4) as highly effective bifunctional hydrogen catalysts. It is found that introducing Ru into nanometric Fe3O4 species breaks the symmetry configuration and optimizes the active site in Ru/RuxFe3-xO4 for HER and HOR. As expected, the catalyst displays prominent alkaline HER and HOR performance with mass activity much higher than that of commercial Pt/C as well as robust stability during catalysis because of the strong interaction between the Ru cluster and the RuxFe3-xO4 support, and the optimized adsorption intermediate (Had and OHad). This work sheds light on a promsing approach to improving the electrocatalysis performance of catalysts by the breaking of atomic dimension symmetry.

Abstract
We studied the Ni-Cu-acid multifunctional synergism in NiCu-phyllosilicate catalysts toward 1,4-butynediol hydrogenation to 1,4-butanediol by varying the reduction temperature, which can activate different bimetal and support interactions. Compared with a monometallic Ni phyllosilicate (phy), which only showed one type of metal species when reduced at ∼750 °C, there are three types of metal species for the bimetallic Ni-Cu-phyllosilicate derived catalysts, namely Cuphy, differentiated Ni, and Niphy. Thorough structure-activity/selectivity correlation investigations showed that, although the Ni9Cu1-P catalyst matrix can produce tiny amounts of differentiated Ni0 species under the induction of reduced Cu0 at R250 condition, it could not form Ni-Cu bimetallic interactions for the collaborative hydrogenation of 1,4-butynediol, and the product stays in the semi hydrogenated state. When the reduction temperature is raised to 500 °C, stable Ni-Cu alloy active sites exist, accompanied by the strong metal support interaction and metal acid effect derived from the intimate contact between the extracted metal sites and the surviving functional phyllosilicate support; these functionalities yield a supreme hydrogenation performance of the R500 sample with a 1,4-butanediol yield larger than 91.2%.

Abstract
Adjusting the interaction between dual active components for enhancing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) degradation is an effective but still challenging means of air pollution control. Herein, a limited pyrolysis oxidation strategy was adopted to prepare Pd-Mn3O4 spinel catalysts with uniform morphology and active component dispersion. Among these, 1.08Pd-Mn3O4 presented the highest catalytic efficiency with a T90 value of 240 °C, which was 94 °C lower than that of Mn3O4. Characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results revealed that the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) effect between Pd and Mn3O4 promoted the redistribution of surface charges, thus strengthening the oxidation-reduction ability of the active sites. Moreover, the SMSI effect led to a better migration of surface oxygen species, and boosted the generation of active surface oxygen species. Simultaneously, the Pd catalyst further reduced the energy barrier in the initial stage of the dehydrogenation of propane. Overall, this study provided a novel design strategy for dual active components catalysts with SMSI effect and extended the application of these catalysts in the important field of VOCs elimination.

Abstract
H2 is one of the promising renewable energy sources, but its production and transportation remain challenging. Distributed H2 production using liquid H2 carriers is one of the ideal ways of H2 utilization. Among common H2 carriers, ethanol is promising as it has high H2 content and can be derived from renewable bio-energy sources such as sucrose, starch compounds, and cellulosic biomass. To generate H2 from ethanol, steam reforming of ethanol (SRE) is the most common way, while appropriate catalysts, usually supported metal catalysts, are indispensable. However, the SRE process is quite complicated and always accompanied by various undesirable by-products, causing low H2 yield. Moreover, the catalysts for SRE are easy to deactivate due to sintering and carbon deposition under high reaction temperatures. In recent years, lots of efforts have been made to reveal SRE mechanisms and synthesize catalysts with high H2 yield and excellent stability. Both active metals and supports play an important role in the reaction. This mini-review summarizes the recent progress of SRE catalysts from the view of the impacts of active metals and supports and draws an outlook for future research directions.
