Interactions between surface adsorbed species can affect catalyst reactivity, and thus, the ability to tune these interactions is of considerable importance. Deposition of organic modifiers provides one method of intentionally introducing controllable surface interactions onto catalyst surfaces. In this study, Pd/Al2O3 catalysts were modified with either thiol or phosphonic acid (PA) ligands and tested in the hydrogenation of furanic species. The thiol modifiers were found to inhibit ring hydrogenation (RH) activity, with the degree of inhibition trending with the thiol surface coverage. This suggests that thiols do not strongly interact with the reactants and simply serve to block active sites on the Pd surface. PAs, on the other hand, were found to enhance RH when furfuryl alcohol (FA) was used as the reactant. Density functional theory calculations suggested that this enhancement was due to hydrogen-bonding interactions between FA-derived surface intermediates and PA modifiers. Here, installation of hydrogen-bonding groups on the Pd surface served to preferentially stabilize RH product states. Furthermore, the promotional effect on the RH of FA was observed to be greater when a higher-coverage PA was used, providing a rate more than twice that of the unmodified Pd/Al2O3. The results of this work suggest that organic ligands can be designed to impart tunable surface interactions on heterogeneous catalysts, providing an additional method of controlling catalytic performance.

We report a facile synthesis of Pt single atoms on thiolated carbon nanotubes. To obtain Pt single atoms, it is crucial to treat thiol groups on carbon nanotubes. Pt single atoms on carbon nanotubes were used efficient catalyst for hydroalkoxylation of 3-buten-1-ol or 4-penten-1-ol. Hydroalkoxylation represents an atom-economic route to construct four or five- membered cyclic ethers through intramolecular addition of hydroxyl group. This catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity than Pt complex and Pt nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes.

Ni-Doped ordered mesoporous carbon (Ni@OMC) was prepared by a one-pot solvent evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) process with sustainable biomass-derived gallic acid as the carbon precursor, F127 as the soft template and Ni2+as the cross-linker and catalytically active ingredient. Ni particles withca.7.8 nm diameter were uniformly dispersed in the carbon skeleton of the synthesized OMC due to the confinement effects of Ni particles in the carbon skeleton of OMC by coordination between gallic acid molecules and metal Ni2+ions in the EISA process. The as-synthesized Ni@OMC sample showed excellent catalytic performance for the hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural into furfuryl alcohol (FFA), and a FFA yield as high as 98% could be achieved at 180 °C in 4 h reaction time in 1-propanol solvent in the presence of 3 MPa H2pressure. The prepared Ni@OMC exhibited good stability and recyclability. This work provides a green and simple one-pot strategy for the synthesis of metal-doped OMCs without using harmful phenolic and formaldehyde compounds, which should have many applications in fields such as catalysis, drug delivery and energy storage.

A series of Co supported on Al-modified SBA-15 catalysts has been studied in the gas phase direct transformation of levulinic acid (LA) into ethyl valerate (EV) using a continuous fixed-bed reactor and ethanol as solvent. It was observed that once the intermediate product gamma-valerolactone (GVL) has been formed, the presence of aluminum is required for the selective transformation to EV. Three Lewis acid sites (LAS) are identified (from highest to lowest acid strength): aluminum ions in tetrahedral and octahedral coordination and Co2+sites. The intrinsic activity of these LAS for the key reaction, the GVL ring opening, decreases with the strength of these acid sites, but so does the undesirable formation of coke, also catalyzed by these centers. The best catalyst was that with the highest Al content, CoSBA-2.5Al, that reached an EV yield of up to 70%. This result is associated with the presence of LAS attributed to the presence of Co2+surface species that, although having low intrinsic activity in the selective GVL ring-opening reaction, are highly concentrated in this sample and also possess less activity in the undesirable and deactivating formation of coke. These Co2+LAS have been stabilized by incorporation of aluminum into the support, modifying the reducibility and dispersion of cobalt species. Additionally, the lower proportion of metallic Co species decreases the hydrogenating capacity of this catalyst. This decrease is a positive result because it prevents GVL hydrogenation to undesired products. This catalyst also showed promising stability in a 140 h on-stream run.

Chemoselective deoxygenation of carbonyls and alcohols using hydrogen by heterogeneous base-metal catalysts is crucial for the sustainable production of fine chemicals and biofuels. We report an aluminum metal-organic framework (DUT-5) node support cobalt(II) hydride, which is a highly chemoselective and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for deoxygenation of a range of aromatic and aliphatic ketones, aldehydes, and primary and secondary alcohols, including biomass-derived substrates under 1 bar H2. The single-site cobalt catalyst (DUT-5-CoH) was easily prepared by postsynthetic metalation of the secondary building units (SBUs) of DUT-5 with CoCl2 followed by the reaction of NaEt3BH. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) indicated the presence of CoII and AlIII centers in DUT-5-CoH and DUT-5-Co after catalysis. The coordination environment of the cobalt center of DUT-5-Co before and after catalysis was established by extended X-ray fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and density functional theory. The kinetic and computational data suggest reversible carbonyl coordination to cobalt preceding the turnover-limiting step, which involves 1,2-insertion of the coordinated carbonyl into the cobalt-hydride bond. The unique coordination environment of the cobalt ion ligated by oxo-nodes within the porous framework and the rate independency on the pressure of H2 allow the deoxygenation reactions chemoselectively under ambient hydrogen pressure.

Unsupported and laponite supported NiPMoS catalysts were prepared under the hydrothermal method and investigated for liquid-phase hydrodeoxygenation of furfural in a high-pressure batch reactor at 423 ?K ? 463 ?K under 20 ?bar H2 pressure. The reaction significantly produced 94% of furfural conversion with 75% yield of 2-MF on NiPMoS catalyst whereas, NiPMoS/Lap catalyst exhibited 28% of 2-MF yield with complete conversion at 463 ?K under 20 ?bar H2 pressure in toluene solvent. The influence of process parameters such as reaction temperature, reactant volume, catalyst compositions, and hydrogen pressure on furfural conversion and product yield was investigated in detail. The high reactivity and synergetic effect of the NiPMoS catalyst are due to added phosphorus, which has a profound influence on the structure of the catalyst, thereby increasing surface acidity, basicity, hydrogen consumption, and a number of MoS2 fringes and the dispersion of MoS2 on the surface of the support. The catalysts were characterized based on HRTEM, H2, CO2, and NH3 TPD, FT–IR, FT–Raman, DRS UV–Vis, XRD, N2–physisorption, and TGA. Recyclability, N2–physisorption, and XRD results confirm the stability and practical applicability of the catalyst for industrial applications.
Furfural hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) over silica-supported metal phosphides – The influence of metal–phosphorus stoichiometry on catalytic properties

The gas-phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of furfural, a model compound for bio-based conversion, was investigated over transition metal phosphide catalysts. The HDO activity decreases in the order Ni2P ≈ MoP > Co2P ≈ WP ? Cu3P > Fe2P. Nickel phosphide phases (e.g., Ni2P, Ni12P5, Ni3P) are the most promising catalysts in the furfural HDO. Their selectivity to the gasoline additives 2-methylfuran and tetrahydro-2-methylfuran can be adjusted by varying the P/Ni ratio. The effect of P on catalyst properties as well as on the reaction mechanism of furfural HDO were investigated in depth for the first time. An increase of the P stoichiometry weakens the furan-ring/catalyst interaction, which contributes to a lower ring-opening and ring-hydrogenation activity. On the other hand, an increasing P content does lead to a stronger carbonyl/catalyst interaction, i.e., to a stronger η2(C, O) adsorption configuration, which weakens the C1[sbnd]O1 bond (Scheme 1) in the carbonyl group and enhances the carbonyl conversion. Phosphorus species can also act as Br?nsted acid sites promoting C1[sbnd]O1 (Scheme 1) hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol, hence contributing to higher production of 2-methylfuran.

Abstract: Cu/Ni-based metal-organic frameworks (CuNi@BTC) were prepared with benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (H3BTC) as the organic ligand via the solvothermal method, and were then calcinated under N2 atmosphere to form C-coated CuNi catalysts (CuNi@C). TEM showed that carbon material on the surface of CuNi@C was a graphene-like structure. Then transfer hydrogenation of furfural catalyzed by CuNi@C was tested with alcohols as the hydrogen donor to optimize the Cu : Ni ratio, metal : organic ligand ratio, solvothermal synthesis, and calcination conditions. It was found that strong synergistic effect between Cu and Ni in the CuNi@C significantly enhanced the furfural transfer hydrogenation activity and raised the furfural selectivity. The reaction conditions of furfural transfer hydrogenation such as catalyst dosage, hydrogen donor, reaction temperature, and reaction time were studied. The catalytic mechanism for CTH of FF over CuNi@C catalyst was discussed.
