Title: Chloroform Hydrodechlorination over Palladium–Gold Catalysts: A First-Principles DFT Study

Abstract

Hydrodechlorination is a promising method for treating toxic chlorocarbon compounds. Pd is among the most effective catalysts for chloroform hydrodechlorination, and experiments have shown that the Pd–Au alloy catalyst yields superior catalytic performance over pure Pd. In this paper, we examine the chloroform hydrodechlorination mechanism over Pd(1 1 1) and Pd_ML/Au(1 1 1) surfaces using periodic, self-consistent density functional theory calculations (DFT, GGA–PW91) and maximum rate analysis. We suggest that the reaction occurs on both surfaces through complete dechlorination of chloroform followed by hydrogenation of CH* to methane, and that the initial dechlorination step is likely the rate-limiting step. Finally, on Pd(1 1 1), the chloroform dechlorination barrier is 0.24 eV higher than the desorption barrier, whereas on Pd_ML/Au(1 1 1), the chloroform dechlorination barrier is 0.07 eV lower than the desorption barrier, which can explain the higher hydrodechlorination activity of the Pd–Au alloy catalyst.

Chloroform Hydrodechlorination on Palladium Surfaces: A Comparative DFT Study on Pd(111), Pd(100), and Pd(211)

Journal Article Xu, Lang ; Bhandari, Saurabh ; Chen, Jiming ; ... - Topics in Catalysis

Palladium has been shown to be an effective catalyst for chloroform hydrodechlorination, which serves as a promising treatment method for industrial chloroform waste. To investigate the structure sensitivity of this chemistry on Pd surfaces, we performed a density functional theory (DFT, GGA-PW91) study of the chloroform hydrodechlorination reaction on three distinct facets: Pd(111), Pd(100), and Pd(211). Based on the DFT results, the binding strengths of most surface intermediates generally increase in the following order: Pd(111) < Pd(100) < Pd(211). On all three Pd facets, methane is formed as the preferred reaction product through a pathway in which CHCl₃* is fullymore »« less

A DFT study of chlorine coverage over late transition metals and its implication on 1,2-dichloroethane hydrodechlorination

Journal Article Xu, Lang ; Stangland, Eric E. ; Mavrikakis, Manos - Catalysis Science and Technology

Atomic chlorine is known to interact strongly with most late transition metal surfaces. This work aims to identify the relevant chlorine coverage under typical 1,2-dichloroethane hydrodechlorination conditions (T = 423–523 K, PHCl = 10-2–101 bar) and its impact on the reaction energetics. Density functional theory calculations (GGA-PW91) were performed to study the adsorption of chlorine up to 1 monolayer over the close-packed facets of 10 late transition metals (Pt, Co, Ni, Cu, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ir, Au). The ab initio phase diagram of each chlorine/metal system was constructed. The phase diagrams predicted approximately 1/3 ML chlorine coverage on allmore »« less

Hydrodechlorination of 1,2-Dichloroethane on Platinum Catalysts: Insights from Reaction Kinetics Experiments, Density Functional Theory, and Microkinetic Modeling

Journal Article Xu, Lang ; Stangland, Eric E. ; Dumesic, James A. ; ... - ACS Catalysis

Catalytic hydrodechlorination is a promising strategy for treating industrial 1,2-dichloroethane wastes, for which Pt and Pt-based alloy catalysts are widely used. Here, we performed a detailed mechanistic study for 1,2-dichloroethane hydrodechlorination on Pt using a synergistic approach combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations, reaction kinetics experiments, and microkinetic modeling. Using planewave DFT calculations, we evaluated the reaction energy and activation energy barrier of each elementary step involved in the reaction network on Pt(111). The calculated energetics were then incorporated into a comprehensive mean-field microkinetic model accounting for a total of 65 elementary steps. The model-predicted reaction rates were compared withmore »« less

Mechanistic Study of 1,2-Dichloroethane Hydrodechlorination on Cu-Rich Pt–Cu Alloys: Combining Reaction Kinetics Experiments with DFT Calculations and Microkinetic Modeling

Journal Article Xu, Lang ; Stangland, Eric ; Dumesic, James A. ; ... - ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

Cu-rich Pt–Cu bimetallic catalysts are among the most promising candidates for actively catalyzing the hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) toward ethylene production. Combining reaction kinetics experiments with density functional theory (DFT) calculations and mean-field microkinetic modeling, we present a systematic mechanistic study for 1,2-DCA hydrodechlorination on Cu-rich Pt–Cu alloy catalysts. Our DFT (PBE+(TS+SCS)) results suggest that increasing Cu content in the Pt–Cu alloy destabilizes C₂-species adsorption while stabilizing the binding of atomic chlorine. The reaction energetics of all the elementary steps in the 1,2-DCA reaction network were calculated on a Pt₁Cu₃(111) model surface. The DFT results were then used to constructmore »« less

Trends in Formic Acid Electro-Oxidation on Transition Metals Alloyed with Platinum and Palladium

Journal Article Elnabawy, Ahmed O. ; Murray, Ellen A. ; Mavrikakis, Manos - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) have emerged as a promising power source to meet increased demands for alternative energy sources in the transportation and portable energy storage sectors. Furthermore, these fuel cells utilize formic acid (FA), a nontoxic and carbon-neutral fuel when produced from biomass or via CO₂ reduction. Despite the promise of DFAFCs, the best monometallic catalysts, platinum and palladium, are poisoned by CO through the indirect oxidation pathway and require large overpotentials. By alloying Pt and Pd with other metals, we aim to improve both the activity and selectivity of these catalysts. Here, we present a systematicmore »« less
