Title: Synergistic promotion of transition metal ion-exchange in TiO 2 nanoarray-based monolithic catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of NO x with NH 3
TiO 2 supported catalysts have been widely studied for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x ; however, comprehensive understanding of synergistic interactions in multi-component SCR catalysts is still lacking. Herein, transition metal elements (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, La, and Ce) were loaded onto TiO 2 nanoarrays via ion-exchange using protonated titanate precursors. Amongst these catalysts, Mn-doped catalysts outperform the others with satisfactory NO conversion and N 2 selectivity. Cu co-doping into the Mn-based catalysts promotes their low-temperature activity by improving reducibility, enhancing surface Mn 4+ species and chemisorbed labile oxygen, and elevating the adsorption capacity of NH 3 and NO x species. While Ce co-doping with Mn prohibits the surface adsorption and formation of NH 3 and NO x derived species, it boosts the N 2 selectivity at high temperatures. By combining Cu and Ce as doping elements in the Mn-based catalysts, both the low-temperature activity and the high-temperature N 2 selectivity are enhanced, and the Langmuir–Hinshelwood reaction mechanism was proved to dominate in the trimetallic Cu–Ce–5Mn/TiO 2 catalysts due to the low energy barrier.  more » « less

  1. Electrochemical oxidation of water and electrolyte ions is a sustainable method for producing energy carriers and valuable chemicals. Among known materials for catalyzing oxidation reactions, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) offers excellent electrochemical stability but is less active than many other metal oxides. Herein, we used density functional theory calculations to predict an increase in catalytic activity by doping anatase TiO 2 with manganese atoms (Mn). We synthesized Mn-doped TiO 2 and then utilized X-ray absorption spectroscopy to study the chemical environment around the Mn site in the TiO 2 crystal structure. Our electrochemical experiments confirmed that TiO 2 , with the optimal amount of Mn, reduces the onset potential by 260 mV in a 2 M KHCO 3 (pH = ∼8) electrolyte and 370 mV in a 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 (pH = ∼0.5) electrolyte. Moreover, in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 , we observed that the amount of Mn doping greatly impacts the selectivity towards oxygen production versus peroxysulfate formation. In 2 M KHCO 3 , the Mn doping of TiO 2 slightly decreases the selectivity towards oxygen production and increases the hydrogen peroxide formation. The Mn-doped TiO 2 shows good electrochemical stability for over 24 hours in both electrolytes.

  2. Abstract

    Phosphonic acid (PA) self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) were deposited onto Pt/Al2O3catalysts to modify the support to enable control over CO2adsorption and CO2hydrogenation activity. Significant differences in catalytic activity toward CO2hydrogenation (reverse water‐gas shift, RWGS) were observed after coating Al2O3with PAs, suggesting that the reaction was mediated by CO2adsorption on the support. Amine‐functionalized PAs were found to outperform their alkyl counterparts in terms of activity, however there was little effect of amine location in the SAM (i. e., spacing between the amine functional group and phosphonate attachment group). One amine‐PA and one alkyl‐PA, aminopropyl phosphonic acid (C3NH2PA) and methyl phosphonic acid (C1PA), respectively, were investigated in more detail. The C3NH2PA‐modified catalyst was found to bind CO2as a combination of carbamate and bicarbonate. Additionally, at 30 °C, both PAs were found to reduce CO2adsorption uptake by approximately 50 % compared to unmodified 5 %Pt/Al2O3. CO2adsorption enthalpy was measured for the catalysts and found to be strongly correlated with hydrogenation activity, with the trend in binding enthalpy and CO2hydrogen rate trending as uncoated >C3NH2PA>C1PA. PA SAMs were found to have weaker effects on CO binding and CO selectivity, consistent with selective modification of the Al2O3support by the PAs.

  3. In the context of CO 2 valorization, the possibility of shifting the selectivity of Ni catalysts from CO 2 methanation to reverse water gas shift reaction could be economically attractive provided that the catalyst presents sufficient activity and stability. Remarkably, the addition of sulfur (0.2–0.8% w/w) to nickel on a Ni/TiO 2 catalyst induces a complete shift in the catalyst selectivity for CO 2 hydrogenation at 340 °C from 99.7% CH 4 to 99.7% CO. At an optimal Ni/S atomic ratio of 4.5, the productivity of the catalyst reaches 40.5 mol CO 2 mol Ni −1 h −1 with a good stability. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed on various Ni surfaces reveal that the key descriptor of selectivity is the binding energy of the CO intermediate, which is related to the local electron density of surface Ni sites.

    Cobalt( ii ) ions were adsorbed to the surface of rod-shape anatase TiO 2 nanocrystals and subsequently heated to promote ion diffusion into the nanocrystal. After removal of any remaining surface bound cobalt, a sample consisting of strictly cobalt-doped TiO 2 was obtained and characterized with powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, SQUID magnetometry, and inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The nanocrystal morphology was unchanged in the process and no new crystal phases were detected. The concentration of cobalt in the doped samples linearly correlates with the initial loading of cobalt( ii ) ions on the nanocrystal surface. Thin films of the cobalt doped TiO 2 nanocrystals were prepared on indium-tin oxide coated glass substrate, and the electrical conductivity increased with the concentration of doped cobalt. Magnetic measurements of the cobalt-doped TiO 2 nanocrystals reveal paramagnetic behavior at room temperature, and antiferromagnetic interactions between Co ions at low temperatures. Antiferromagnetism is atypical for cobalt-doped TiO 2 nanocrystals, and is proposed to arise from interstitial doping that may be favored by the diffusional doping mechanism.

  5. Abstract

    In recent years, there has been a substantial surge in the investigation of transition‐metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2as a promising electrochemical catalyst. Inspired by denitrification enzymes such as nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase, the electrochemical nitrate reduction catalyzed by MoS2with varying local atomic structures is reported. It is demonstrated that the hydrothermally synthesized MoS2containing sulfur vacancies behaves as promising catalysts for electrochemical denitrification. With copper doping at less than 9% atomic ratio, the selectivity of denitrification to dinitrogen in the products can be effectively improved. X‐ray absorption characterizations suggest that two sulfur vacancies are associated with one copper dopant in the MoS2skeleton. DFT calculation confirms that copper dopants replace three adjacent Mo atoms to form a trigonal defect‐enriched region, introducing an exposed Mo reaction center that coordinates with Cu atom to increase N2selectivity. Apart from the higher activity and selectivity, the Cu‐doped MoS2also demonstrates remarkably improved tolerance toward oxygen poisoning at high oxygen concentration. Finally, Cu‐doped MoS2based catalysts exhibit very low specific energy consumption during the electrochemical denitrification process, paving the way for potential scale‐up operations.
