Abstract

Here, we find that exposure of the MoS ₂ basal plane to methanol leads to the formation of adsorbed methoxy and coincides with sulfur vacancy generation. The conversion of methanol to methoxy on MoS ₂ is temperature dependent. Density functional theory simulations and experiment indicate that the methoxy moieties are bound to molybdenum, not sulfur, while some adsorbed methanol is readily desorbed near or slightly above room temperature. Our calculations also suggest that the dissociation of methanol via O–H bond scission occurs at the defect site (sulfur vacancy), followed subsequently by formation of a weakly bound H ₂S species that promptly desorbs from the surface with creation of new sulfur vacancy. Photoluminescence and scanning tunneling microscopy show clear evidence of the sulfur vacancy creation on the MoS ₂ surface, after exposure to methanol.

MoS ₂ Nanoclusters Grown on TiO ₂ : Evidence for New Adsorption Sites at Edges and Sulfur Vacancies

Journal Article Galhenage, Randima P. ; Yan, Hui ; Rawal, Takat B. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

MoS ₂ clusters have been grown on a TiO ₂(110) substrate to provide a model surface for better understanding the adsorbate interactions and chemical activity on titania-supported MoS ₂ clusters. Scanning tunneling microscopy experiments show that clusters with elongated shapes and flat tops are formed, and the long axes of the clusters have specific orientations with respect to the [001] direction on TiO ₂(110). In contrast, deposition of Mo in the absence of H ₂S results in a high density of smaller, round clusters that cover the majority of the surface. The morphologies of the MoS ₂ clusters do not change after exposure to various gases (D ₂, CO, O ₂, H ₂O, and methanol) in ultrahigh vacuum. However, exposure to higher pressures of O ₂, H ₂O, or methanol (10 Torr), as well as exposure to air, causes the clusters to disintegrate as Mo in the clusters becomes oxidized. Temperature-programmed desorption studies with CO on the MoS ₂ clusters show a distinct desorption peak at 280 K, which is not observed on metallic Mo or titania. Finally, density functional theory calculations suggest that these new adsorption sites for CO are at the edges of the elongated MoS ₂ clusters, particularly along the (more »« less

Formation of a methoxy-modified interlayer surface via the reaction between methanol and layered perovskite HLaNb{sub 2}O{sub 7}{center_dot}xH{sub 2}O

Journal Article Takahashi, S ; Sugahara, Y ; Kuroda, K - Inorganic Chemistry

The reactions between methanol (CH{sub 3}OH, CH{sub 3}OD, CD{sub 3}OD, {sup 13}CH{sub 3}OH) and layered HLaNb{sub 2}O{sub 7}{center_dot}xH{sub 2}O were investigated. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that a peak corresponding to the basal spacing of HLaNb{sub 2}O{sub 7}{center_dot}xH{sub 2}O (1.05 nm) disappeared and a new peak appeared at 1.18 nm. Carbon-13 NMR spectra revealed the presence of two environments of the methyl group; the broad 67 ppm signal is ascribed to the rigid species located in the interlayer space, and the 50 ppm signal is ascribed to mobile methanol on the external surface. The amount of the latter speciesmore »« less

Microkinetic simulation and fitting of the temperature programmed reaction of methanol on CeO ₂(111): H ₂ and H ₂O + V production

Journal Article Savara, Aditya Ashi - Reaction Kinetics, Mechanisms and Catalysis

The kinetics and mechanism for temperature programmed reaction following adsorption of an adsorbate can be better understood by simulation and fitting with comparison to experiment. A case study is presented here for the chemistry of adsorption of methanol on a CeO ₂(111) surface followed by heating. The gas products observed are CH ₃OH, CH ₂O, H ₂, H ₂O, CO, CO ₂. At low temperatures (< 500 K), there is formation of H ₂ and H ₂O, where the H ₂O formation is accompanied by lattice oxygen vacancy (V) formation and is thus important in determining the selectivity towards differentmore »« less

Mechanism of partial oxidation of methanol over MoO sub 3

Journal Article Chung, J S ; Miranda, R ; Bennett, C O - Journal of Catalysis; (USA)

The partial oxidation of methanol was carried out over molybdenum oxide at low temperatures, where high-order products (dimethyl ether, dimethoxymethane, and methyl formate) were formed in small amounts. Both the electronic and the geometric states of the catalysts were observed by techniques such as transient experiments, volumetric adsorption, and in situ infrared observation of methoxy group and Mo-O structural bands. Correlation of activity data with data on the surface state makes it possible to suggest a reaction mechanism for the partial oxidation of methanol over molybdenum oxide. The reaction can be represented by a mechanism involving methoxy intermediates chemisorbed onmore »« less

In situ carbon-13 solid-state NMR study of the Cu/ZnO/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} methanol synthesis catalyst

Journal Article Lazo, N D ; Murray, D K ; Kieke, M L - Journal of the American Chemical Society

The reactions of methanol, formic acid, paraformaldehyde,CO{sub 2}, and CO were studied on Cu/ZnO/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, Cu/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3},ZnO/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, ZnO, and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} by in situ {sup 13}C solid-state NMR with magic-angle spinning (MAS). These studies relate to the chemistry of methanol synthesis using the standard Cu/ZnO/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} catalyst, which produces essentially all of the world`s methanol supply. Methanol adsorbs on the alumina phase at 298 K to form a surface-bound terminal methoxy, but it forms a bridging methoxy on the ZnO phase. On catalysts containing Cu, these methoxy groups were oxidized to a surface-bound symmetricalmore »« less
