Systematic Investigation on Supported Gold Catalysts Prepared by Fluorine-Free Basic Etching Ti₃AlC₂ in Selective Oxidation of Aromatic Alcohols to Aldehydes.

ABSTRACT: Conventional methods to prepare supported metal catalysts are chemical reduction and wet impregnation. This study developed and systematically investigated a novel reduction method based on simultaneous Ti₃AlC₂ fluorine-free etching and metal deposition to prepare gold catalysts. The new series of Au_pre/Ti₃Al_xC₂Ty catalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS, TEM, and SEM and were tested in the selective oxidation of representative aromatic alcohols to aldehydes. The catalytic results demonstrate the effectiveness of the preparation method and better catalytic performances of Au_pre/Ti₃Al_xC₂T_y, compared with those of catalysts prepared by traditional methods. Moreover, this work presents a comprehensive study on the influence of calcination in air, H₂, and Ar, and we found that the catalyst of Au_pre/Ti₃Al_xC₂T_y-Air600 obtained by calcination in air at 600 °C performed the best, owing to the synergistic effect between tiny surface TiO₂ species and Au NPs. The tests of reusability and hot filtration confirmed the catalyst stability.

Project description:The realization of the broad range of application of MXenes relies on the successful and reproducible synthesis of quality materials of tailored properties. To date, most MXenes have been produced making use of acid-based etching methods, yet an in-depth understanding of etching processes is lacking. Herein, we have engaged in a comprehensive study of the multiple variables involved in the synthesis of V2CTx with focus on the properties of etched materials. Two main sets of experiments were considered, each using a different V2AlC precursor and a range of synthesis variables including reaction time and temperature, mixing rate, and type of acid. Correlations of synthesis conditions-materials properties were investigated using a broad range of characterization techniques including analytical methods, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Findings indicated the crucial relevance of properties of the MAX precursor such as elemental composition, particle size, and crystal structure on etching processes and properties of etched materials. Particularly, depending on the MAX precursor, two etching patterns were identified, core-shell and plate-by-plate, the latter describing a more efficient etching. Combined studies of elemental composition, crystal structure, and yield quantification allowed us to evaluate the effectiveness of etching processes. XRD studies revealed key crystal-structure-type of acid correlations showing advantages of using a HF/HCl mix over only HF. Analytical methods XRD and XPS delivered insights into undergoing chemical processes and their influence on bulk and surface chemistry of etched materials. The relevance for reaction kinetics of highly correlated variables such as reaction vessel dimensions, mixing efficiency, and reaction temperature was recognized. For the first time, a MXene synthesis has been investigated comprehensively highlighting its multivariable nature and the high variable intercorrelation, opening up venues for further investigation on MAX and MXene synthesis.
