Atomically synergistic Zn-Cr catalyst for iso-stoichiometric co-conversion of ethane and CO 2 to ethylene and CO. Nat Commun 2024; 15:911. [PMID: 38291043 PMCID: PMC10828418 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-44918-8] [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: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Developing atomically synergistic bifunctional catalysts relies on the creation of colocalized active atoms to facilitate distinct elementary steps in catalytic cycles. Herein, we show that the atomically-synergistic binuclear-site catalyst (ABC) consisting of [Formula: see text]-O-Cr6+ on zeolite SSZ-13 displays unique catalytic properties for iso-stoichiometric co-conversion of ethane and CO2. Ethylene selectivity and utilization of converted CO2 can reach 100 % and 99.0% under 500 °C at ethane conversion of 9.6%, respectively. In-situ/ex-situ spectroscopic studies and DFT calculations reveal atomic synergies between acidic Zn and redox Cr sites. [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) sites facilitate β-C-H bond cleavage in ethane and the formation of Zn-Hδ- hydride, thereby the enhanced basicity promotes CO2 adsorption/activation and prevents ethane C-C bond scission. The redox Cr site accelerates CO2 dissociation by replenishing lattice oxygen and facilitates H2O formation/desorption. This study presents the advantages of the ABC concept, paving the way for the rational design of novel advanced catalysts.

Abstract
Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations in combination with first-principles (1p)-based calculations are rapidly becoming the gold-standard computational framework for bridging the gap between the wide range of length scales and time scales over which heterogeneous catalysis unfolds. 1p-KMC simulations provide accurate insights into reactions over surfaces, a vital step toward the rational design of novel catalysts. In this Perspective, we briefly outline basic principles, computational challenges, successful applications, as well as future directions and opportunities of this promising and ever more popular kinetic modeling approach.

Abstract
A lack of comprehensive studies of the C-C bond cleavage in organic molecules hampers the rational design of catalysts for many applications, such as in fuel cells and steam reforming technologies. Employing ethanol on Ir(100) as an example, we studied 14 C-C bond cleavages of various species involved in the ethanol oxidation reaction using density functional theory calculations and used the degree of dehydrogenation (DoDH) of the reactant species as a variable to correlate the C-C bond cleavage barrier and reaction energy. This correlation method was also applied to the dehydrogenation reactions of ethanol on various catalysts, and great insight was obtained. The results show that the C-C cleavage barrier generally decreases with DoDH, with a local minimum around 33.3% DoDH. For reactants having more than 50% DoDH, the C-C cleavage is more ready to take place than the dehydrogenation and can occur at room temperature. Furthermore, the O atom in the reactive species plays a critical role in lowering the C-C bond cleavage barrier. The results provide necessary inputs for kinetic studies of ethanol reactions under operando conditions, where a reaction network beyond the minimum energy pathway is needed. The results will also serve as a benchmark for future studies of the ethanol C-C cleavage on other facets of Ir catalysts or on different catalysts. Furthermore, this work demonstrates that the proposed method opens up a new and effective way of correlating catalytic activities for the C-C bond cleavage involving long-chain alkanes and alcohols.

Abstract
Olefins are among the most important structural building blocks for a plethora of chemical reaction products, including petrochemicals, biomaterials and pharmaceuticals. An ever-increasing economic demand has urged scientists, engineers and industry to develop novel technical methods for the dehydrogenation of parent alkane molecules. In particular, the catalysis over precious metal or metal oxide catalysts has been put forward as an alternative way route to thermal-, steam- and fluid catalytic cracking (FCC). Multiscale system modeling as a tool to theoretically understand processes has in the past decade period evolved from a rudimentary measurement-complementing approach to a useful engineering environment. Not only can it predict various experimentally obtained parameters, such as conversion, activity, and selectivity, but it can help us to simulate trends, when changing applicative operating conditions, such as surface gas temperature or pressure, or even support us in the search for the type of materials, their geometrical properties and phases for a better functional performance. An overview of the current set state of the art for saturated organic short chain hydrocarbons (ethane, propane and butane) is presented. Studies that combine at least two different dimensional scales, ranging from atomistic-, bridging across mechanistic mesoscale kinetics, towards reactor- or macroscale, are focused on. Insights considering reactivity are compared.

Abstract
The Zr-, Ce-, Sr-, and Sn-promoted Cr/SiO2 catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method, then characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, H2-TPR, CO2-TPD, UV-vis, high-angle annular dark-field imaging-scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy elemental mapping, Raman, and thermogravimetric techniques to study the structural evolution under the preparation/reaction conditions, and applied to catalyze ethane oxidative dehydrogenation with CO2. The results suggested that the Cr6+ species were indispensable for activating the dehydrogenation reaction thanks to the oxidation-reduction cycle between Cr6+ and Cr3+. The type of the promotor also affected significantly the ability of replenishing the lattice oxygen through the disassociation of CO2, leading to the different catalytic performances. The Zr-promoted sample had the best performance in converting the reactants as well as the catalytic stability.
