A general and robust Ni-based nanocatalyst for selective hydrogenation reactions at low temperature and pressure.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic hydrogenations are important and widely applied processes for the reduction of organic compounds both in academic laboratories and in industry. To perform these reactions in sustainable and practical manner, the development and applicability of non-noble metal-based heterogeneous catalysts is crucial. Here, we report highly active and air-stable nickel nanoparticles supported on mesoporous silica (MCM-41) as a general and selective hydrogenation catalyst. This catalytic system allows for the hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds, nitroarenes, N-heterocycles, and unsaturated carbon─carbon bonds in good to excellent selectivity under very mild conditions (room temperature to 80°C, 2 to 10 bar H₂). Furthermore, the optimal nickel/meso-silicon dioxide catalyst is reusable (4 cycles) without loss of its catalytic activity.

Highly active and robust Ni-MoS<sub>2</sub> supported on mesoporous carbon: a nanocatalyst for hydrodeoxygenation reactions.

Project description:NiMoS2 nanoparticles supported on carbon, synthesized by a microemulsion method were used as a nanocatalyst for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of a lignin model compound - guaiacol. Two types of carbon supports - mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) and activated carbon (AC) with a predominantly microporous structure, were studied to investigate the role of porosity and nature of the porous structure in catalyst activity. The activity of NiMoS2/AC resulted in the complete guaiacol conversion at 13 h of reaction time to produce phenol (31.5 mol%) and cyclohexane (35.7 mol%) as the two main products. Contrastingly, NiMoS2/CMK-3 needed a much lesser reaction time (6 h) to attain a similar conversion of guaiacol but gave different selectivities of phenol (25 mol%) and cyclohexane (55.5 mol%). Increased cyclohexane production with NiMoS2/CMK-3 implied better deoxygenation of MoS2 and enhanced hydrogenation capacity of Ni since phenol is a partially deoxygenated product of guaiacol while cyclohexane is a completely deoxygenated and hydrogenated product. The superior catalytic activity and deoxygenating behavior of NiMoS2/CMK-3 catalysts could be attributed to the organized mesoporosity of the CMK-3 support in relation to the improved active phase distribution and access to active sites that facilitate the conversion of the reaction's product. Recyclability study implied NiMoS2/CMK-3 was more stable without significant changes in the catalytic activity even after three reaction cycles.

Low-temperature and atmospheric pressure plasma for palm biodiesel hydrogenation.

Project description:Partially hydrogenated fatty acid methyl ester (H-FAME) is conventionally produced through partial hydrogenation under high pressure and elevated temperature in the presence of a catalyst. Herein, a novel green, catalyst-free, non-thermal and atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma was employed instead of a conventional method to hydrogenate palm FAME. H-FAME became more saturated with the conversion of C18:2 and C18:3 of 47.4 and 100%, respectively, at 100 W input power, 1 mm gas-filled gap size and 80% H2 in the mixed gas at room temperature for 5 h, causing a reduction of the iodine value from 50.2 to 43.5. Oxidation stability increased from 12.8 to 20 h while a cloud point changed from 13.5 to 16 °C. Interestingly, DBD plasma hydrogenation resulted in no trans-fatty acid formation which provided a positive effect on the cloud point. This green DBD plasma system showed a superior performance to a conventional catalytic reaction. It is an alternative method that is safe from explosion due to the mild operating condition, as well as being highly environmentally friendly by reducing waste and energy utilization from the regeneration process required for a catalytic process. This novel green plasma hydrogenation technique could also be applied to other liquid-based processes.

Graphene Chainmail Shelled Dilute Ni─Cu Alloy for Selective and Robust Aqueous Phase Catalytic Hydrogenation.

Project description:Cost-effective non-noble metal-based catalysts for selective hydrogenation with excellent activity, selectivity, and durability are still the holy grail. Herein, an oxygen-doped carbon (OC) chainmail encapsulated dilute Cu-Ni alloy is developed by simple pyrolysis of Cu/Ni-metal-organic framework. The CuNi0.05@OC catalyst displays superior performance for atmospheric pressure transfer hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene and p-nitrophenol, and for hydrogenation of furfural, all in water and with exceptional durability. Comprehensive characterizations confirm the close interactions between the diluted Ni sites, the base Cu, and optimized three-layered graphene chainmail. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the properly tuned lattice strain and Schottky junction can adjust electron density to facilitate specific adsorption on the active centers, thus enhancing the catalytic activity and selectivity, while the OC shell also offers robust protection. This work provides a simple and environmentally friendly strategy for developing practical heterogeneous catalysts that bring the synergistic effect into play between dilute alloy and functional carbon wrapping.

Stable and reusable Ni-based nanoparticles for general and selective hydrogenation of nitriles to amines.

Project description:Silica supported ultrasmall Ni-nanoparticles allow for general and selective hydrogenation of all kinds of nitriles to primary amines under mild conditions. By calcination of a template material generated from Ni(ii)nitrate and colloidal silica under air and subsequent reduction in the presence of molecular hydrogen the optimal catalyst is prepared. The prepared supported nanoparticles are stable, can be conveniently used and easily recycled. The applicability of the optimal catalyst material is shown by hydrogenation of >110 diverse aliphatic and aromatic nitriles including functionalized and industrially relevant substrates. Challenging heterocyclic nitriles, specifically cyanopyridines, provided the corresponding primary amines in good to excellent yields. The resulting amines serve as important precursors and intermediates for the preparation of numerous life science products and polymers.

Intermetallic nickel silicide nanocatalyst-A non-noble metal-based general hydrogenation catalyst.

Project description:Hydrogenation reactions are essential processes in the chemical industry, giving access to a variety of valuable compounds including fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and pharmachemicals. On an industrial scale, hydrogenations are typically performed with precious metal catalysts or with base metal catalysts, such as Raney nickel, which requires special handling due to its pyrophoric nature. We report a stable and highly active intermetallic nickel silicide catalyst that can be used for hydrogenations of a wide range of unsaturated compounds. The catalyst is prepared via a straightforward procedure using SiO2 as the silicon atom source. The process involves thermal reduction of Si-O bonds in the presence of Ni nanoparticles at temperatures below 1000°C. The presence of silicon as a secondary component in the nickel metal lattice plays the key role in its properties and is of crucial importance for improved catalytic activity. This novel catalyst allows for efficient reduction of nitroarenes, carbonyls, nitriles, N-containing heterocycles, and unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds. Moreover, the reported catalyst can be used for oxidation reactions in the presence of molecular oxygen and is capable of promoting acceptorless dehydrogenation of unsaturated N-containing heterocycles, opening avenues for H2 storage in organic compounds. The generality of the nickel silicide catalyst is demonstrated in the hydrogenation of over a hundred of structurally diverse unsaturated compounds. The wide application scope and high catalytic activity of this novel catalyst make it a nice alternative to known general hydrogenation catalysts, such as Raney nickel and noble metal-based catalysts.

Low temperature hydrogenation of iron nanoparticles on graphene.

Project description:Hydrogenation of iron nanoparticles was performed both computationally and experimentally where previously chemically-bonded iron hydride is considered to be unachievable under ordinary conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict that hydrogenated iron nanoparticles are stabilized on a single-layer graphene/Cu substrate. Experimentally, iron nanoparticles were deposited onto a graphene/Cu substrate by vacuum deposition. Hydrogenation was done at 1atm of hydrogen gas and under liquid nitrogen. Mass spectrometry peak confirmed the hydrogen release from hydrogenated iron nanoparticles while a scanning transmission electron microscopy is used in order to link a geometrical shape of iron hydride nanoparticles between experimental and theoretical treatments. The hydrogenated iron nanoparticles were successfully synthesized where hydrogenated iron nanoparticles are stable under ordinary conditions.

Synthesis and characterization of supported stabilized palladium nanoparticles for selective hydrogenation in water at low temperature.

Project description:Zirconia supported vacant phosphotungstate stabilized Pd nanoparticles (Pd-PW11/ZrO2) were prepared using a simple impregnation and post reduction method, characterized and their efficiency for selective C[double bond, length as m-dash]C hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds explored. The establishment of a hydrogenation strategy at low temperature using water as solvent under mild conditions makes the present system environmentally benign and green. The catalyst shows outstanding activity (96% conversion) with just a small amount of Pd(0) (0.0034 mol%) with high substrate/catalyst ratio (29 177/1), TON (28 010) and TOF (14 005 h-1) for cyclohexene (as a model substrate) hydrogenation. The catalyst was recovered by simple centrifugation and reused for up to five catalytic cycles without alteration in its activity. The present catalyst was found to be viable towards different substrates with excellent activity and TON (18 000 to 28 800). A study on the effect of addenda atom shows that the efficiency of the catalyst can be enhanced greatly by increasing the number of counter protons. This challenging strategy would greatly benefit sustainable development in chemistry as it diminishes the use of organic solvents and offers economic and environmental benefits as water is cheap and non-toxic.

Microwave-activated Ni/carbon catalysts for highly selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to cyclohexylamine.

Project description:Biocarbon supported Ni catalysts have been prepared by facile impregnation of Ni species by microwave-heating and used for selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to cyclohexylamine. These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, N2 sorption measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction of H2 and H2 temperature-programmed desorption. The morphology and particle size of catalysts were imaged by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. For the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to cyclohexylamine, 10%Ni/CSC-II(b) exhibits the best catalytic activity to achieve 100 mol% conversion of nitrobenzene and 96.7% selectivity of cyclohexylamine under reaction conditions of 2.0 MPa H2 and 200 °C, ascribed to high dispersion of Ni species and formation of nanosized Ni particles on the support aided by microwave-heating. Thus-prepared Ni/CSC catalyst is greatly activated, in which the addition of precious metal like Rh is totally avoided.

MIL-53(Al)-derived bimetallic Pd-Co catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene at low temperature.

Project description:Selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene is a crucial industrial process for the removing of 1,3-butadiene, a byproduct of butene production. Developing catalysts with high catalytic performance for the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene at low temperatures has become a research hotspot. In this study, bimetallic Pd-Co catalysts supported on Al2O3 derived from MIL-53(Al) at various calcination temperatures were synthesised via the co-impregnation method. These catalysts were structurally characterised using powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy techniques. The characterisations revealed that Pd-Co nanoparticles, averaging 8.5-12.4 nm, were highly dispersed on Al2O3 derived from MIL-53(Al). The effects of reaction temperature, Pd and Co contents, space velocity, and calcination temperature on the catalytic performance for the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene were thoroughly investigated. The PdCo/MIL-53(Al)-A700 catalyst exhibited the highest catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene at 40 °C and a space velocity of 900 L/(h·gcat). This catalyst demonstrated a strong synergistic interaction between Pd and Co nanoparticles, resulting in considerably better catalytic performance than the monometallic Pd catalyst under the same conditions. The PdCo/MIL-53(Al)-A700 catalyst achieved superior 1,3-butadiene conversion and total butene selectivity compared to the Pd/MIL-53(Al)-A700 catalyst. In addition, the PdCo/MIL-53(Al)-A700 catalyst maintained its catalytic activity and total butene selectivity after three regenerations in a flow of N2 at 200 °C. This work proposed a new pathway to design efficient and sustainable catalysts for 1,3-butadiene hydrogenation.

General Strategy toward Hydrophilic Single Atom Catalysts for Efficient Selective Hydrogenation.

Project description:Well dispersible and stable single atom catalysts (SACs) with hydrophilic features are highly desirable for selective hydrogenation reactions in hydrophilic solvents towards important chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates. A general strategy is reported for the fabrication of hydrophilic SACs by cation-exchange approach. The cation-exchange between metal ions (M = Ni, Fe, Co, Cu) and Na+ ions introduced in the skeleton of metal oxide (TiO2 or ZrO2 ) nanoshells plays the key role in forming M1 /TiO2 and M1 /ZrO2 SACs, which efficiently prevents the aggregation of the exchanged metal ions. The as-obtained SACs are highly dispersible and stable in hydrophilic solvents including alcohol and water, which greatly facilitates the catalysis reaction in alcohol. The Ni1 /TiO2 SACs have been successfully utilized as catalysts for the selective C=C hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to produce phenylpropanal with 98% conversion, over 90% selectivity, good recyclability, and a turnover frequency (TOF) of 102 h-1 , overwhelming most reported catalysts including noble metal catalysts.
