Elucidation of radical- and oxygenate-driven paths in zeolite-catalysed conversion of methanol and methyl chloride to hydrocarbons

Alessia Cesarini et al.

Summary: Operando PEPICO spectroscopy distinguishes the mechanisms of hydrocarbon generation in the zeolite-catalysed conversions of methanol and methyl chloride. The study reveals different pathways and reaction products in the methanol-to-hydrocarbons and methyl chloride-to-hydrocarbons reactions. Additionally, variations in the formation of coke precursors have an impact on the catalyst's lifespan.

Design of Single-Atom Catalysts and Tracking Their Fate Using Operando and Advanced X-ray Spectroscopic Tools

Bidyut Bikash Sarma et al.

Summary: This article highlights the potential of operando X-ray techniques for studying the structure, fate, and active sites of single-atom catalysts (SACs). X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and related techniques provide valuable information about the properties of solids, such as symmetry, oxidation state, and local coordination. SACs, a new concept in heterogeneous catalysis, have attracted significant attention for their potential to achieve high efficiency and targeted catalytic activity. The characterization of single sites is challenging, but XAS, combined with complementary methods, offers an ideal approach to study their structure and dynamic changes during reactions.

Assessing the environmental benefit of palladium-based single-atom heterogeneous catalysts for Sonogashira coupling

D. Faust Akl et al.

Summary: The Pd-Cu catalysed Sonogashira coupling is a significant strategy for C-C bond formation. Traditional homogeneous systems are not reusable, but using heterogeneous catalysts based on isolated metal atoms allows for efficient Pd utilization. Recovering and reusing Pd atoms anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon is possible. The hybrid homogeneous-heterogeneous catalytic process has a smaller footprint compared to the purely homogeneous process.

Pyrrolidone ligand improved Cu-based catalysts with high performance for acetylene hydrochlorination

You Han et al.

Summary: By adding 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) ligand, the activity and stability of the Cu-pyrrolidone/spherical activated carbon catalysts were significantly improved. The optimal molar ratio of NMP/Cu = 0.25 showed the best performance with a 94.2% acetylene conversion rate. NMP enhanced the dispersion of Cu species, stabilized Cu(+) and Cu(2+) species, and inhibited coke deposition, demonstrating great potential in acetylene hydrochlorination.

Impact of Heteroatom Speciation on the Activity and Stability of Carbon-Based Catalysts for Propane Dehydrogenation

Simon Buchele et al.

Summary: The study focuses on different porous properties, heteroatom types, contents, and specifications in polyaniline-derived and activated carbon platforms. The main functionality governing activity is carbonyl groups, and the main deactivation path is oxygen loss via propane-driven water evolution. Carbon catalysts derived from KOH-post-treated polyanilines show significantly enhanced stability compared to others, highlighting the importance of controlling nanostructure for longevity.

Controllable Synthesis of Vacancy-Defect Cu Site and Its Catalysis for the Manufacture of Vinyl Chloride Monomer

Bolin Wang et al.

Summary: The study focuses on designing favorable structures for active sites to narrow the gap in activity between Cu-based and noble-metal-based catalytic systems for vinyl chloride production. A method for fabricating Cu single-atom catalysts is reported, with gradual release of C-Cl derivatives promoting vacancy-defect generation and significantly reducing the activity gap. Competitive adsorption between acetylene and hydrogen chloride on the CuCl2V-N site was found to enhance catalytic performance, and DFT calculations revealed a specific reaction mechanism catalyzed on the vacancy-defect CuCl2V-N site.
