Structure sensitive selectivity of the NO-CO reaction over rhodium single crystal catalysts

Conference Peden, C.H.F. ; Belton, D.N. ; Schmieg, S.J.

The control of automotive emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO{sub x}) in passenger cars is accomplished by a heavy reliance on after-treatment of the engine exhaust using catalytic converters that contain a mixture of platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), and sometimes palladium (Pd). In this paper we examine the effect of surface structure on the NO-CO activity and selectivity by comparing the reactivity of Rh(110) and Rh(111) single crystal catalysts. Selectivity for the two possible nitrogen containing products from NO reduction, N{sub 2}O and N{sub 2}, is particularly interesting. Here we report that the selectivity of the NO-CO reaction is quite sensitivemore »« less

Catalysis on Singly Dispersed Rh Atoms Anchored on an Inert Support

Journal Article Zhang, Shiran ; Tang, Yan ; Nguyen, Luan ; ... - ACS Catalysis

A metal catalyst supported on an inert substrate could consist of both metal nanoparticles and singly dispersed metal atoms. Whether these singly dispersed metal atoms are active and how different their catalytic mechanism could be in contrast to a supported metal catalyst are fundamentally important for understanding catalysis on a supported metal or oxide. In this study, by taking reduction of NO with CO on singly dispersed Rh atoms anchored on an inert support SiO ₂ as a probe system (Rh ₁/SiO ₂), we demonstrated how singly dispersed metal atoms on an inert support could perform a complex multi-step catalyticmore »« less

Nitrogen-Coordinated Single Cobalt Atom Catalysts for Oxygen Reduction in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Journal Article Wang, Xiao Xia ; Cullen, David A. ; Pan, Yung-Tin ; ... - Advanced Materials

Due to the Fenton reaction, the presence of Fe and peroxide in electrodes generates free radicals causing serious degradation of the organic ionomer and the membrane. Pt-free and Fe-free cathode catalysts therefore are urgently needed for durable and inexpensive proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this paper, a high-performance nitrogen-coordinated single Co atom catalyst is derived from Co-doped metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) through a one-step thermal activation. Aberration-corrected electron microscopy combined with X-ray absorption spectroscopy virtually verifies the CoN ₄ coordination at an atomic level in the catalysts. Through investigating effects of Co doping contents and thermal activation temperature, anmore »« less

Direct Observation by Rapid-Scan FT-IR Spectroscopy of Two-Electron-Reduced Intermediate of Tetraaza Catalyst [Co ^IIN ₄H(MeCN)] ²⁺ Converting CO ₂ to CO

Journal Article Sheng, Hua ; Frei, Heinz - Journal of the American Chemical Society

In the search for the two-electron-reduced intermediate of the tetraaza catalyst [Co ^IIN ₄H(MeCN)] ²⁺ (N ₄H = 2,12-dimethyl-3,7,11,17-tetraazabicyclo[11.3.1]heptadeca-1(17),2,11,13,15-pentaene) for CO ₂ reduction and elementary steps that result in the formation of CO product, rapid-scan FT-IR spectroscopy of the visible-light-sensitized catalysis, using Ir(ppy) ₃ in wet acetonitrile (CD ₃CN) solution, led to the observation of two sequential intermediates. The initially formed one-electron-reduced [Co ^IN ₄H] ⁺--CO ₂ adduct was converted by the second electron to a transient [Co ^IN ₄H] ⁺--CO ₂ - complex that spontaneously converted CO ₂ to CO in a rate-limiting step on the second time scalemore »« less

Nitrogenase-mimic iron-containing chalcogels for photochemical reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia

Journal Article Liu, Jian ; Kelley, Matthew S. ; Wu, Weiqiang ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

A nitrogenase-inspired biomimetic chalcogel system comprising double-cubane [Mo ₂Fe ₆S ₈(SPh) ₃] and single-cubane (Fe ₄S ₄) biomimetic clusters demonstrates photocatalytic N ₂ fixation and conversion to NH ₃ in ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Replacing the Fe ₄S ₄ clusters in this system with other inert ions such as Sb ³⁺, Sn ⁴⁺, Zn ²⁺ also gave chalcogels that were photocatalytically active. Finally, molybdenum-free chalcogels containing only Fe ₄S ₄ clusters are also capable of accomplishing the N2 fixation reaction with even higher efficiency than their Mo ₂Fe ₆S ₈(SPh) ₃-containing counterparts. In this study, our results suggest thatmore »« less
