Title: Strongly Modified Scaling of CO Hydrogenation in Metal Supported TiO Nanostripes

Abstract

The boundary between a metal-oxide and its metal support (metal-oxide|support) provides an intriguing structural interface for heterogeneous catalysis. The hydrogenation of CO is a reaction step believed to be rate limiting in electro-chemical CO2 reduction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to study this reaction step for a class of catalytic material: metal supported TiO nanostripe. The most stable adsorption sites were identified for all metal supports which showed a striking difference in adsorbate geometry between the strong and weak binding metal supports. The modified CO hydrogenation scaling shows a significant strengthening over (111) and (211) transition metal surfaces. Such enhancement can be attributed to a combination of geometrical effects and metal-oxide|support electronic interactions. A correlation analysis was performed to identify the key features needed to accurately predict *CO and *CHO adsorption energies on the TiO nanostripes and to further validate our physical analysis of the results. This structural motif seems to be a promising avenue to explore scaling modification in other metal-oxide materials and reactions.

CO Oxidation on Ir₁/TiO₂: Resolving Ligand Dynamics and Elementary Reaction Steps

Journal Article Thompson, Coogan B. ; Liu, Liping ; Leshchev, Denis S. ; ... - ACS Catalysis

Identifying the rate-controlling steps and the evolution of the ligand environment throughout the catalytic cycle on supported single-atom catalysts is crucial to bridge the gap between heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. Here we identified the rate-controlling elementary steps for CO oxidation on TiO₂-supported Ir single atoms and isolated the corresponding intermediate Ir complexes. Kinetic measurements, operando spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations indicate that the reaction mechanism has two kinetically relevant steps, CO adsorption/oxidation and O₂ dissociation. By varying the reaction conditions, three Ir₁ complexes (states) along the reaction cycle were isolated and identified using in situ spectroscopy. Furthermore, we show that allmore »« less

Low pressure CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol over gold nanoparticles activated on a CeO_x/TiO₂ interface

Journal Article Yang, Xiaofang ; Boscoboinik, J. Anibal ; Kattel, Shyam ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

Capture and recycling of CO₂ into valuable chemicals such as alcohols could help mitigate its emissions into the atmosphere. Due to its inert nature, the activation of CO₂ is a critical step in improving the overall reaction kinetics during its chemical conversion. Although pure gold is an inert noble metal and cannot catalyze hydrogenation reactions, it can be activated when deposited as nanoparticles on the appropriate oxide support. In this combined experimental and theoretical study, it is shown that an electronic polarization at the metal-oxide interface of Au nanoparticles anchored and stabilized on a CeO_x/TiO₂ substrate generates active centers formore »« less

Atomic-Scale Design of Iron Fischer-Tropsch Catalysts: A Combined Computational Chemistry, Experimental, and Microkinetic Modeling Approach

Technical Report Mavrikakis, Manos ; Dumesic, James A ; Nabar, Rahul P

Work continued on the development of a microkinetic model of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) on supported and unsupported Fe catalysts. The following aspects of the FT mechanism on unsupported iron catalysts were investigated on during this third year: (1) the collection of rate data in a Berty CSTR reactor based on sequential design of experiments; (2) CO adsorption and CO-TPD for obtaining the heat of adsorption of CO on polycrystalline iron; and (3) isothermal hydrogenation (IH) after Fischer Tropsch reaction to identify and quantify surface carbonaceous species. Rates of C{sub 2+} formation on unsupported iron catalysts at 220 C and 20more »« less

Catalysis Science Initiative: Catalyst Design by Discovery Informatics

Technical Report Delgass, William Nicholas ; Abu-Omar, Mahdi ; Caruthers, James ; ...

Catalysts selectively enhance the rates of chemical reactions toward desired products. Such reactions provide great benefit to society in major commercial sectors such as energy production, protecting the environment, and polymer products and thereby contribute heavily to the country’s gross national product. Our premise is that the level of fundamental understanding of catalytic events at the atomic and molecular scale has reached the point that more predictive methods can be developed to shorten the cycle time to new processes. The field of catalysis can be divided into two regimes: heterogeneous and homogeneous. For the heterogeneous catalysis regime, we have usedmore »« less

Cu deposited on CeOx-modified TiO₂(110): Synergistic effects at the metal–oxide interface and the mechanism of the WGS reaction

Journal Article Plata, Jose J. ; Graciani, Jesús ; Evans, Jaime ; ... - ACS Catalysis

Experimental techniques and DFT calculations have been combined to study and compare the effect of the metal–substrate interaction in Cu/TiO₂(110) and Cu/CeO_x/TiO₂(110) catalysts for the water–gas shift (WGS) reaction. Experiments and theory show that CeOx nanoparticles affect the dispersion of copper on titania, and on the formed copper–ceria interface, there are synergistic effects which favor water dissociation and the WGS reaction. The minimum energy path for the WGS reaction on the new highly active catalytic system Cu/CeO_x/TiO₂(110) has been predicted by theoretical calculations. Main steps such as adsorption–dissociation of water and *OCOH carboxyl intermediate formation–deprotonation have been characterized. In thismore »« less
