Ceria Incorporation in Sinter-Resistant Platinum-Based Catalysts

Platinum group metals (PGM) are widely used for exhaust emission abatement. Sintering during the high-temperature emission control conditions decreases noble metal utilization efficiency. Efficient use of scarce noble metals requires sinter-resistant catalysts. Here we extend an approach to synthesize catalysts consisting of platinum nanoparticles encapsulated in a mixture of cerium and aluminum oxides (Pt@Al 2 O 3 -CeO 2 ). We tested the activity of this catalyst toward carbon monoxide, propene, and propane oxidation chosen as model oxidation reactions for emission control catalysts. Pt@Al 2 O 3 -CeO 2 catalysts demonstrated similar activity and stability upon aging as the comparison system without ceria, Pt@Al 2 O 3 , while maintaining small Pt nanoparticles and ceria crystallites. Additionally, we studied the influence of various thermal treatments on CO oxidation activity and determined that a steam treatment can activate low temperature CO oxidation activity of Pt@Al 2 O 3 -CeO 2 . STEM-EDS analysis revealed that thermal treatments led to the co-location of Pt and CeO 2 and temperature programmed-reduction analysis revealed that the steam treatment specifically enhanced CO oxidation activity through surface reduction of the CeO 2 . As a result, we demonstrate the versatility of this encapsulation approach to generate mixed metal-oxide supports with improved metal-support interactions without hindering nanoparticle stability.

Pathways Following Electron Injection: Medium Effects and Cross-Surface Electron Transfer in a Ruthenium-Based, Chromophore–Catalyst Assembly on TiO 2

Interfacial dynamics following photoexcitation of the water oxidation assembly [((PO 3 H 2 ) 2 bpy) 2 Ru II (bpy-bimpy)Ru II (tpy)(OH 2 )] 4+ , -[Ru a II –Ru b II –OH 2 ] 4+ , on nanocrystalline TiO 2 electrodes, starting from either -[Ru a II –Ru b II –OH 2 ] 4+ or -[Ru a II –Ru b III –OH 2 ] 5+ , have been investigated. Transient absorption measurements for TiO 2 –[Ru a II –Ru b II –OH 2 ] 4+ in 0.1 M HPF 6 or neat trifluoroethanol reveal that electron injection occurs with high efficiency but that hole transfer to the catalyst, which occurs on the electrochemical time scale, is inhibited by local environmental effects. Back electron transfer occurs to the oxidized chromophore on the microsecond time scale. Photoexcitation of the once-oxidized assembly, TiO 2 –[Ru a II –Ru b III –OH 2 ] 5+ , in a variety of media, generates -[Ru a III –Ru b III –OH 2 ] 6+ . The injected electron randomly migrates through the surface oxide structure reducing an unreacted -[Ru a II –Ru b III –OH 2 ] 5+ assembly to -[Ru a II –Ru b II –OH 2 ] 4+ . In a parallel reaction, -[Ru a III –Ru b III –OH 2 ] 6+ formed by electron injection undergoes proton loss giving -[Ru a II –Ru b IV $=$O] 4+ with possible conversion to -[Ru a II –Ru b II –OH 2 ] 4+ by an electrolyte-mediated reaction. In the following slow step, re-equilibration on the surface occurs either by reaction with added Fe III/II or by cross-surface electron transfer between spatially separated -[Ru a II –Ru b IV $=$O] 4+ and -[Ru a II –Ru b II –OH 2 ] 4+ assemblies to give -[Ru a II –Ru b III –OH 2 ] 5+ with a half-time of t 1/2 ~ 68 μs. Finally, these results and analyses show that the transient surface behavior of the assembly and cross-surface reactions play important roles in producing and storing redox equivalents on the surface that are used for water oxidation.

Purification process for vertically aligned carbon nanofibers

Individual, free-standing, vertically aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes or nanofibers are ideal for sensor and electrode applications. Our plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition techniques for producing free-standing and vertically aligned carbon nanofibers use catalyst particles at the tip of the fiber. Here we present a simple purification process for the removal of iron catalyst particles at the tip of vertically aligned carbon nanofibers derived by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The first step involves thermal oxidation in air, at temperatures of 200-400 degrees C, resulting in the physical swelling of the iron particles from the formation of iron oxide. Subsequently, the complete removal of the iron oxide particles is achieved with diluted acid (12% HCl). The purification process appears to be very efficient at removing all of the iron catalyst particles. Electron microscopy images and Raman spectroscopy data indicate that the purification process does not damage the graphitic structure of the nanotubes.

Kirigami Photopiezo Catalysts for Self-Sustainable Environment Remediation

Photo(electro)-piezo catalysis has emerged as one of the most effective strategies for sustainable environmental remediation. While various (nano)materials have been investigated for enhancing the intrinsic properties related to the interfacial band structure, increasing the efficiency by integration of materials with rational design for stress–strain applications has not yet been considered. Herein, we introduce kirigami strain engineering to photopiezo catalysts for enhancing efficiency by increasing the magnitude of applied strain and density of bends. Macroscale stretching motion is converted into localized bending by a pliable kirigami structure using similar or even lower input energy, which can be easily modulated by natural waves. The kirigami structure leads to a significant enhancement (~250%) in the degradation of dyes, and we discovered the significant contribution of the oxygen reduction pathway in the charge-transfer mechanism, which corresponds to the observed enhancement. In conclusion, the photopiezo catalytic effects of kirigami were further highlighted by the small water reservoir test, showing its feasibility in nature for self-sustainable environmental remediation that can be modulated using motions of winds, waves, and life vibrations.

Iron Porphyrins Embedded into a Supramolecular Porous Organic Cage for Electrochemical CO 2 Reduction in Water

Abstract A porous organic cage composed of six iron tetraphenylporphyrins was used as a supramolecular catalyst for electrochemical CO 2 ‐to‐CO conversion. This strategy enhances active site exposure and substrate diffusion relative to the monomeric catalyst, resulting in CO generation with near‐quantitative Faradaic efficiency in pH 7.3 water, with activities reaching 55 250 turnovers. These results provide a starting point for the design of supramolecular catalysts that can exploit the properties of the surrounding matrix yet retain the tunability of the original molecular unit.

Directing CO 2 electroreduction pathways for selective C 2 product formation using single-site doped copper catalysts

Manipulating the selectivity-determining step in post-C–C coupling is crucial for enhancing C 2 product specificity during electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction, complementing efforts to boost rate-determining step kinetics. Here we highlight the role of single-site noble metal dopants on Cu surfaces in influencing C–O bond dissociation in an oxygen-bound selectivity-determining intermediate, steering post-C–C coupling toward ethylene versus ethanol. Integrating theoretical and experimental analyses, we demonstrate that the oxygen binding strength of the Cu surface controls the favorability of C–O bond scission, thus tuning the selectivity ratio of ethylene-to-ethanol. The Rh-doped Cu catalyst with optimal oxygen binding energy achieves a Faradaic efficiency toward ethylene of 61.2% and an ethylene-to-ethanol Faradaic efficiency ratio of 4.51 at –0.66 V versus RHE (reversible hydrogen electrode). Integrating control of both rate-determining and selectivity-determining steps further raises ethylene Faradaic efficiency to 68.8% at 1.47 A cm -2 in a tandem electrode. Our insights guide the rational design of Cu-based catalysts for selective CO 2 electroreduction to a single C 2 product.

Molecular-Level Design of Heterogeneous Chiral Catalysts

A recent major focus of catalyst research has been on improving the selectivity or atom efficiency of catalytic processes. Perhaps the most subtle and difficult form of selectivity to control is enantioselectivity, a catalyst’s ability to preferentially yield one enantiomer of a chiral product. Since two enantiomers are identical in all respects except for their mirror reflection symmetry, both are formed in non-chiral environments at exactly equal rates; only by introducing some type of chiral modification to the system can the rate of formation of one enantiomer be favored over the other. This has been successfully achieved for homogeneous-phase, organometallic catalysts, but the empirical development of heterogeneous-phase analogs has proven elusive. The design of such heterogeneous-phase catalysts would obviate the need for inefficient purification steps to remove the heavy-metal catalysts. The goal of the proposed research by the Chiral Catalysis Group is to understand the interactions of prochiral reactants on chirally modified surfaces that lead to the preferential formation of one enantiomer over the other. There are two general concepts for designing heterogeneous-phase enantioselective catalysts. The first adopts the strategy used in homogeneous phase, by adding a chiral modifier to the surface. This approach, while conceptually simple has challenges associated with modifying an extended surface. The second concept, which is unique to extended surfaces, is the idea of creating surfaces that are themselves naturally chiral. A fundamental understanding of the interactions that control enantioselectivity will enable the Chiral Catalysis Group to develop the concepts necessary to design novel, heterogenous catalytic materials. Enantioselectivity is also central to catalytic processes that underpin the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. With funding from the Department of Energy, the Chiral Catalysis Group has played a leading role in developing a fundamental understanding of chiral catalysis and of the adsorbate structures, interactions and kinetic effects that control heterogenous-phase enantioselectivity. The proposed research program is organized conceptually around three types of enantiospecific interactions: interactions with naturally chiral surfaces; those with modified surfaces categorized as chirally templated surfaces; and one-to-one interactions of prochiral molecules with chiral surface modifiers. Our specific goals are to: (1) determine the structures of chiral surfaces, prochiral reactants, chiral products and chiral modifiers; (2) understand the enantiospecific interactions that occur between prochiral reactants and chiral products with chirally modified surfaces; (3) develop methods for detection of enantiospecific surface phenomena; and (4) elucidate enantioselective reaction pathways and the interactions that control them. The range of expertise within the Chiral Catalysis Group includes molecular-scale theory, surface science experiments, state-of-the-art spectroscopic, kinetic and atomic-scale imaging capabilities carried out in vacuum and under more-realistic liquid- and gas-phase environments complemented by catalytic measurements. By fully integrating such a breadth of approaches and extensive expertise, the Chiral Catalysis Group will, for the first time, be able to understand, rationally design and then control active sites for optimal enantioselectivity. In addition to having a significant impact on the field of chiral catalysis, the proposed research program will further our general understanding of the molecular-scale origins of catalytic selectivity.

Design and Optimization of Structured Multi-Functional Trapping Catalysts for Conversion of Hydrocarbons and NOx from Diesel and Advanced Combustion Engines

Oxides of nitrogen in the form of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) commonly referred to as NOx, is one of the two chemical precursors that lead to ground-level ozone, a ubiquitous air pollutant in urban areas. A major source of NOx is generated by equipment and vehicles powered by diesel engines, which have a combustion exhaust that contains NOx in the presence of excess O 2 . Vehicular emission control catalysts are ineffective in eliminating CO, hydrocarbons, and NOx during engine cold-start when exhaust temperatures are below 200°C. The objective of the project was to develop and demonstrate a multi-functional, catalyzed trap that enables vehicles with advanced combustion strategies to meet Tier 3 emissions standards while achieving the 150 °C challenge for sustained co-oxidation of HCs and CO and ≥90% NO trapping and release during warmup. Specifically, the multi-functional Lean HC+NOx (LHCNT) was developed for application in the exhaust aftertreatment of conventional diesel engines and engines having low temperature combustion (LTC) regimes. Activities included the design and synthesis of adsorbents and catalysts, screening and evaluation. Passive NOx absorbers (PNA), hydrocarbon (HC) traps, and oxidation catalysts (OC) were evaluated for use in series or as integrated devices. Predictive tools were developed utilizing the characterization and analysis of these materials, and an emission system was designed and optimized utilizing the catalyst systems. Microkinetic models were developed for the PNA for the simple NO-only feed and complex feed containing CO, H 2 , and model hydrocarbons (ethylene and dodecane). A first-principles, mechanistic-based model of the PNA was developed which utilized molecular-scale estimates (density functional theory) of energy barriers, mechanistic-based kinetics and realistic treatments of the flow and transport processes. Two new oxidation catalysts were developed (PdCu alloy, mixed copper-ceria-cobalt oxide), both of which significantly lessened the detrimental inhibition by CO on hydrocarbon and NO oxidation. A method for lessening the detrimental impact of CO on PNA activity was developed that involves use of an oxidation catalyst upstream of the PNA. The SwRI Ectolab TM burner system was applied to evaluate the baseline PNA material and confirmed performance comparable to the benchflow PNA studies using simulated exhaust. Spatially-resolved mass spectrometry (SpaciMS) was used to measure the transient spatial profiles of reacting species spanning the length of a three-function LHCNT containing PNA, HCT, and OC. The findings from this study provide diesel vehicle and catalyst companies valuable information to develop more cost effective emission control catalysts which helps to expand the use of more fuel efficient diesel power. The fundamental modeling and experimental tools and findings from this project can be applied to catalyst technologies used in the energy and chemical industries. The project led to 14 publications in the peer-reviewed literature with 2 additional currently under review. Finally, the project also led to training of several doctoral students who were placed in research jobs in industry and academia. Specifically, Mugdha Ambast (UH) has joined Cummins, Kevin Gu (UVa) has joined GM, and Abhay Gupta (UH) is to join Caterpillar.

Bifunctional Heterometallic Metal-Organic Frameworks for Solvent-Free Heterogeneous Cascade Catalysis

A family of heterometallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (CPM200s) harmoniously coexisting as Lewis acids and base (azo) sites were prepared. Seven CPM200s were employed as multifunctional heterogeneous cascade catalysts for the one-pot deacetalization-Knoevenagel reaction in a solvent-free system. Benefiting from the cooperation between Lewis acids from the open metal sites and base sites from the ligands, the CPM200s showed high activity and selectivity for the tandem reaction. The heterometallic 3D porous framework reported here not only offers a combination of two opposite active sites in the same framework of materials but also increases mass transfer of the substrate, thus maximizing the efficiency and substrate selectivity of the bifunctional catalysts. The CPM200s showed the highest turnover frequency (TOF), outperforming that of the reported MOFs in tandem with the deacetalization-Knoevenagel reaction. A strong correlation between the TOF and charge-to-radius ratio (z/r) of metal ions in the CPM200s was observed for the first time. The bifunctional CPM200s catalysts can be reused five times without significant loss of activity.

2D Covalent Organic Frameworks with an Incorporated Manganese Complex for Light Driven Carbon Dioxide Reduction

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a novel class of crystalline porous photocatalytic materials due to their unique properties such as large surface area, tunable porosity, and rigid structure. Here in this work, we report the direct incorporation of a manganese CO 2 molecular catalyst (MC) into COFs (Mn-TTA-COF) and the evaluation of its capability as photocatalyst for visible light driven CO 2 reduction to form CO. We found that the photocatalytic activity of Mn-TTA-COF is quite low, which mainly results from the elimination of the CO ligand in the Mn MC upon light illumination, rendering its short duration in the catalytic reaction. While this is a central concern for the further use Mn-TTA-COF as a CO 2 reduction catalyst, here we found that the stability and efficiency of Mn MC is largely enhanced after being incorporated into COFs with respect to its homogeneous version, suggesting the capability of COFs as heterogeneous platform to incorporate MC and improve the catalytic performance of MC. Moreover, transient absorption spectroscopic studies show that the intramolecular charge transfer lifetime of the Mn-incorporated COF is longer than that in the parent COF, which suggests that charge separation (CS) may occur from the parent COF to the Mn moiety. These results together suggest that COFs may show promise as a platform for creating next-generation photocatalysts with a built-in photosensitizer and MC, which can facilitate CS and enhance the stability and efficiency of the incorporated MC.

Direct propylene epoxidation via water activation over Pd-Pt electrocatalysts

Direct electrochemical propylene epoxidation by means of water-oxidation intermediates presents a sustainable alternative to existing routes that involve hazardous chlorine or peroxide reagents. Here, we report an oxidized palladium-platinum alloy catalyst (PdPtO x /C), which reaches a Faradaic efficiency of 66 ± 5% toward propylene epoxidation at 50 milliamperes per square centimeter at ambient temperature and pressure. Embedding platinum into the palladium oxide crystal structure stabilized oxidized platinum species, resulting in improved catalyst performance. The reaction kinetics suggest that epoxidation on PdPtO x /C proceeds through electrophilic attack by metal-bound peroxo intermediates. This work demonstrates an effective strategy for selective electrochemical oxygen-atom transfer from water, without mediators, for diverse oxygenation reactions.

Gypsum and clay-based additives to MSW for pre-combustion enhancement of syngas and solid residue improvement (Final Scientific/Technical Report)

This project was focused on the development of a cost-effective and practical approach for the recovery of metals and syngas from municipal solid waste (MSW) thermally processed in a gasification or combustion (i.e. waste-to-energy (WTE)) facility with the inclusion of other waste streams. The goal of additional waste inclusion was targeted to change the oxidation of critical and precious elements to enable them to be more efficiently recovered. The project had two main components: laboratory testing and techno-economic analysis (TEA). The additional waste included with MSW as gypsum and spent FCC (sFCC) catalyst as additives to improve material recovery and energy efficiency in MSW and WTE ash.

Copper adparticle enabled selective electrosynthesis of n-propanol

Here, the electrochemical reduction of carbon monoxide is a promising approach for the renewable production of carbon-based fuels and chemicals. Copper shows activity toward multi-carbon products from CO reduction, with reaction selectivity favoring two-carbon products; however, efficient conversion of CO to higher carbon products such as n-propanol, a liquid fuel, has yet to be achieved. We hypothesize that copper adparticles, possessing a high density of under-coordinated atoms, could serve as preferential sites for n-propanol formation. Density functional theory calculations suggest that copper adparticles increase CO binding energy and stabilize two-carbon intermediates, facilitating coupling between adsorbed *CO and two-carbon intermediates to form three-carbon products. We form adparticle-covered catalysts in-situ by mediating catalyst growth with strong CO chemisorption. The new catalysts exhibit an n-propanol Faradaic efficiency of 23% from CO reduction at an n-propanol partial current density of 11 mA cm –2 .

An investigation into support cooperativity for the deoxygenation of guaiacol over nanoparticle Ni and Rh 2 P

Here, the production of hydrocarbon fuels from biomass pyrolysis requires the development of effective deoxygenation catalysts, and insight into how the properties of the support influence performance is critical for catalyst design. In this report, nanoparticles of Ni and Rh 2 P were synthesized using solution-phase techniques and dispersed on high surface area supports. The supports included a relatively inert material (C), an acidic reducible metal-oxide (TiO 2 ), an acidic irreducible metal-oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), and a basic irreducible metal-oxide (MgO). The eight active phase/support combinations were investigated for the deoxygenation of guaiacol, a pyrolysis vapor model compound, under ex situ catalytic fast pyrolysis conditions (350 °C, 0.44 MPa H 2 ). Compared to the baseline performance of the C-supported catalysts, Ni/TiO 2 and Rh 2 P/TiO 2 exhibited higher guaiacol conversion and lower O : C ratios for C 5+ products, highlighting the enhanced activity and greater selectivity to deoxygenated products derived from the use of an acidic reducible metal-oxide support. The Al 2 O 3 -supported catalysts also exhibited higher conversion than the C-supported catalysts and promoted alkylation reactions, which improve carbon efficiency and increase the carbon number of the C 5+ products. However, Ni/Al 2 O 3 and Rh 2 P/Al 2 O 3 were less selective towards deoxygenated products than the C-supported catalysts. The MgO-supported catalyst exhibited lower conversion and decreased yield of deoxygenated products compared to the C-supported catalysts. The results reported here suggest that basic metal-oxide supports may inhibit deoxygenation of phenolics under CFP conditions. Contrastingly, support acidity and reducibility were demonstrated to promote conversion and selectivity to deoxygenated products, respectively.
