Energetic decomposition yields efficient bimetallic Cu MOF-derived catalysts
Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as efficient self-sacrificial templates to fabricate porous carbon-supported metal nanoparticles (NPs). Due to observed increased activity, catalysts containing bimetallic NPs represent an active frontier for heterogeneous catalyst development. A strategy to synthesize active catalysts with highly dispersed bimetallic metal/metal oxides within a porous carbon matrix via rapid MOF decomposition using dopants is presented in this paper. A 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) additive enhances the rapid thermolysis of the metal-doped Cu-based MOFs to minimize particle aggregation. Catalyst characterization reveals that a secondary metal increases dispersion of both metals over the carbon composite support. The catalyst preparation method influences both the metal particle size and oxidation state. Catalytic performance shows increased rates for 4-nitrophenol reduction even with <1 wt% of added secondary metal. Among the synthesized catalysts, the Ni–CuO@C bimetallic catalyst exhibits outstanding activity. This synthetic strategy is useful for creating highly efficient, robust, non-noble metal catalysts for development of sustainable chemical processes.
