Abstract
The development of cost-effective and anti-coking catalysts for propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is crucial. Here, non-noble metal-incorporated Ni-based catalysts (Ni3M, M = Sc, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Ga, Zr, Nb, Mo, In, Sn) were employed in the PDH process. The introduction of V, Nb, and Mo, with their strong carbon binding ability, created unique Ni-M cooperative sites, enhancing the catalytic performance. Other non-noble metals influenced the electronic structure of Ni, affecting the overall catalytic behavior. V and Nb exhibited a balanced combination of activity, selectivity, and stability, making them potential catalyst candidates. Microkinetic simulations revealed that Ni3V and Ni3Nb displayed high selectivity toward olefins with low apparent activation energies. This study emphasizes the significance of bimetallic synergy in enhancing PDH performance and provides new directions for the development of efficient alkane dehydrogenation catalyst development.

Abstract
In heterogeneous catalysis, the catalytic dehydrogenation reactions of hydrocarbons often exhibit a negative pressure dependence on hydrogen due to the competitive chemisorption of hydrocarbons and hydrogen. However, some catalysts show a positive pressure dependence for propane dehydrogenation, an important reaction for propylene production. Here we show that the positive activity dependence on H2 partial pressure of gallium oxide-based catalysts arises from metastable hydride mediation. Through in situ spectroscopic, kinetic and computational analyses, we demonstrate that under reaction conditions with H2 co-feeding, the dissociative adsorption of H2 on a partially reduced gallium oxide surface produces H atoms chemically bonded to coordinatively unsaturated Ga atoms. These metastable gallium hydride species promote C-H bond activation while inhibiting deep dehydrogenation. We found that the surface coverage of gallium hydride determines the catalytic performance. Accordingly, benefiting from proper H2 co-feeding, the alumina-supported, trace additive-modified gallium oxide catalyst GaOx-Ir-K/Al2O3 exhibited high activity and selectivity at high propane concentrations.

[PMID: 38414834 PMCID: PMC10895921 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpcc.3c07126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is an on-purpose catalytic technology to produce propylene from propane that operates at high temperatures, 773-973 K. Several key industry players have been active in developing new catalysts and processes with improved carbon footprint and economics, where Pt-based catalysts have played a central role. The optimization of these catalytic systems through computational and atomistic simulations requires large-scale models that account for their reactivity and dynamic properties. To address this challenge, we developed a new reactive ReaxFF force field (2023-Pt/C/H) that enables large-scale simulations of PDH reactions catalyzed on Pt surfaces. The optimization of force-field parameters relies on a large training set of density functional theory (DFT) calculations of Pt-catalyzed PDH mechanism, including geometries, adsorption and relative energies of reaction intermediates, and key C-H and C-C bond-breaking/forming reaction steps on the Pt(111) surface. The internal validation supports the accuracy of the developed 2023-Pt/C/H force-field parameters, resulting in mean absolute errors (MAE) against DFT data of 14 and 12 kJ mol-1 for relative energies of intermediates and energy barriers, respectively. We demonstrated the applicability of the 2023-Pt/C/H force field with reactive molecular dynamics simulations of propane on different Pt surface topologies and temperatures. The simulations successfully model the formation of propene in the gas phase as well as competitive, unproductive reactions such as deep dehydrogenation and C-C bond cleavage that produce H, C1 and C2 adsorbed species responsible of catalytic deactivation of Pt surface. Results show the following reactivity order: Pt(111) < Pt(100) < Pt(211), and that for the stepped Pt(211) surface, propane activation occurs on low-coordinated Pt atoms at the steps. The measured selectivity as a function of surface topology follows the same trend as activity, the Pt(211) facet being the most selective. The 2023-Pt/C/H reactive force field can also describe the increase of reactivity with the temperature. From these simulations, we were able to estimate the Arrhenius activation energy, 73 kJ mol-1, whose value is close to those reported experimentally for PDH catalyzed by large, supported Pt nanoparticles . The newly developed 2023-Pt/C/H reactive force field can be used in subsequent investigations of different Pt topologies and of collective effects such as temperature, propane pressure, or H surface coverage.

Abstract
The design of efficient catalysts for direct propane dehydrogenation (PDH) to inhibit coke formation and deactivation of traditional Pt-based catalysts are challenging tasks. Herein, by exploiting the unique geometric feature and tunability of single atom catalysts (SACs), a wide range of 3d-5d transition metals anchored on the MoS2 edge in the single atom form (TM1-S4/edge) are comprehensively investigated for the PDH application by first-principles calculations, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations and microkinetic modeling. Five criteria are assessed in terms of the feasibility of preparation, practical stability, feasibility of recovery after air oxidation, activity and selectivity. We identified Ru1-S4/edge SAC as the most promising candidate with activity six times higher than that of the conventional Pt(111) catalyst. Interestingly, AIMD simulations show that the motif region of the highly reactive TM1-S4/edge SACs (such as Ru, Os, Rh, and Ir) exhibits a dynamic change, with a TM-coordinated S atom tending to flutter at reaction temperatures and return to its initial position when the species is adsorbed on TMs, thereby affecting the PDH activities. In addition to identifying the potential PDH catalyst from a practical application point of view, we believe that this study also provides a comprehensive picture for the theoretical screening of low-coordination single-atom catalysts.

Abstract
Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) with paired active sites can provide unique intrinsic properties for heterogeneous catalysis, but the synergy of the active centers remains to be elucidated. Here, we develop a high-performance DAC with Zn1Co1 species anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon (Zn1Co1/NC) as the dominant active site for the propane dehydrogenation (PDH) reaction. It exhibits several times higher turnover frequency (TOF) of C3H8 conversion and enhanced C3H6 selectivity compared to Zn1/NC or Co1/NC with only a single-atom site. Various experimental and theoretical studies suggest that the enhanced PDH performance stems from the promoted activation of the C-H bond of C3H8 triggered by the electronic interaction between Zn1 and Co1 colligated by N species. Moreover, the dynamic sinking of the Zn1 site and rising of the Co1 site, together with the steric effect of the dissociated H species at the bridged N during the PDH reaction, provides a feasible channel for C3H6 desorption through the more exposed Co1 site, thereby boosting the selectivity. This work provides a promising strategy for designing robust hetero DACs to simultaneously increase activity and selectivity in the PDH reaction.

Abstract
Nonoxidative propane dehydrogenation (PDH) produces on-site propylene for value-added chemicals. While commercial, its modest selectivity and catalyst deactivation hamper the process efficiency and limit operation to lower temperatures. We demonstrate PDH in a microwave (MW)-heated reactor over PtSn/SiO2 catalyst pellets loaded in a SiC monolith acting as MW susceptor and a heat distributor while ensuring comparable conditions with conventional reactors. Time-on-stream experiments show active and stable operation at 500°C without hydrogen addition. Upon increasing temperature or feed partial pressure at high space velocity, catalysts under MWs show resistance in coking and sintering, high activity, and selectivity, starkly contrasting conventional reactors whose catalyst undergoes deactivation. Mechanistic differences in coke formation are exposed. Gas-solid temperature gradients are computationally investigated, and nanoscale temperature inhomogeneities are proposed to rationalize the different performances of the heating modes. The approach highlights the great potential of electrification of endothermic catalytic reactions.

Abstract
The catalytic dehydrogenation of alkanes constitutes a key step for the industrial conversion of these inert sp3-bonded carbon chains into other valuable unsaturated chemicals. To this end, platinum-based materials are among the most widely used catalysts. In this work, we characterize the thermal dehydrogenation of n-octane (n-C8H18) on Pt(111) under ultra-high vacuum using synchrotron-radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption and scanning tunneling microscopy, combined with ab initio calculations. At low activation temperatures, two different dehydrogenation stages are observed. At 330 K, n-C8H18 effectively undergoes a 100% regioselective single C-H bond cleavage at one methyl end. At 600 K, the chemisorbed molecules undergo a double dehydrogenation, yielding double bonds in their carbon skeletons. Diffusion of the dehydrogenated species leads to the formation of carbon molecular clusters, which represents the first step towards poisoning of the catalyst. Our results reveal the chemical mechanisms behind the first stages of alkane dehydrogenation on a platinum model surface at the atomic scale, paving the way for designing more efficient dehydrogenation catalysts.

Abstract
Enthalpies of formation of adsorbates are crucial parameters in the microkinetic modeling of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions since they quantify the stability of intermediates on the catalyst surface. This quantity is often computed using density functional theory (DFT), as more accurate methods are computationally still too expensive, which means that the derived enthalpies have a large uncertainty. In this study, we propose a new error cancellation method to compute the enthalpies of formation of adsorbates from DFT more accurately through a generalized connectivity-based hierarchy. The enthalpy of formation is determined through a hypothetical reaction that preserves atomistic and bonding environments. The method is applied to a data set of 60 adsorbates on Pt(111) with up to 4 heavy (non-hydrogen) atoms. Enthalpies of formation of the fragments required for the bond balancing reactions are based on experimental heats of adsorption for Pt(111). The comparison of enthalpies of formation derived from different DFT functionals using the isodesmic reactions shows that the effect of the functional is significantly reduced due to the error cancellation. Thus, the proposed methodology creates an interconnected thermochemical network of adsorbates that combines experimental with ab initio thermochemistry in a single and more accurate thermophysical database.

Double-skinned PdAg membranes were used to selectively remove H2 during dehydrogenation tests over PtSnK/Al2O3 catalyst under fluidization. The performance of the fluidized bed membrane reactor was experimentally investigated and compared with the conventional fluidized bed reactor (FBR) by varying the superficial gas velocity over the minimum fluidization velocity under fixed operating conditions (i.e., 500 °C, 2 bar and feed composition of 30vol% C3H8-70vol% N2). The results obtained in this work confirmed the potential for improving the PDH performance using the FBMR system. An increase in the initial propane conversion of c.a. 20% was observed, going from 19.5% in the FBR to almost 25% in the FBMR. The hydrogen recovery factor displayed a decrease from 70% to values below 50%, due to the membrane coking under alkene exposure. Despites this, the hydrogen extraction from the reaction environment shifted the thermodynamic equilibrium of the dehydrogenation reaction and achieved an average increase of 43% in propylene yields.

Abstract
The kinetic effects of co-feeding of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and hydrogen on propane dehydrogenation (PDH) over the Pt-Sn-K/Al2O3 catalyst were investigated by the response surface method. The 3-level Box-Behnken design for 4 factors (reaction temperature, propene, hydrogen, and DMDS flow rate) was used to design the experiment. The initial propane conversion, propene selectivity, and coking amount were chosen as responses and the results were fitted by quadratic models. The fresh and coked catalysts were characterized by high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), thermogravimetry (TG), N2 physisorption, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed that the DMDS flow rate is significant for propane conversion and coking amount while hydrogen flow rate is only significant for the conversion. By using the fitted model for the response surface, it is found that DMDS can significantly reduce the coking amount at the expense of propane conversion, and hydrogen weakly affects the selectivity and coking amount. The optimal conditions to achieve maximum conversion and selectivity and minimum coking amount are not consistent. The DMDS and hydrogen flow rate should be optimized to obtain the maximum economic profit out of the propane dehydrogenation (PDH) process.

Abstract
Understanding the water splitting mechanism in photocatalysis is a rewarding goal as it will allow producing clean fuel for a sustainable life in the future. However, identifying the photocatalytic mechanisms by modeling photoactive nanoparticles requires sophisticated computational techniques based on multiscale modeling. In this review, we will survey the strengths and drawbacks of currently available theoretical methods at different length and accuracy scales. Understanding the surface-active site through Density Functional Theory (DFT) using new, more accurate exchange-correlation functionals plays a key role for surface engineering. Larger scale dynamics of the catalyst/electrolyte interface can be treated with Molecular Dynamics albeit there is a need for more generalizations of force fields. Monte Carlo and Continuum Modeling techniques are so far not the prominent path for modeling water splitting but interest is growing due to the lower computational cost and the feasibility to compare the modeling outcome directly to experimental data. The future challenges in modeling complex nano-photocatalysts involve combining different methods in a hierarchical way so that resources are spent wisely at each length scale, as well as accounting for excited states chemistry that is important for photocatalysis, a path that will bring devices closer to the theoretical limit of photocatalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed noble metal catalysts have drawn wide attention as candidates to replace supported metal clusters and metal nanoparticles. Atomic dispersion can offer unique chemical properties as well as maximum utilization of the expensive metals. Addition of a second metal has been found to help reduce the size of Pt ensembles in bimetallic clusters; however, the stabilization of isolated Pt atoms in small nests of nonprecious metal atoms remains challenging. We now report a novel strategy for the design, synthesis, and characterization of a zeolite-supported propane dehydrogenation catalyst that incorporates predominantly isolated Pt atoms stably bonded within nests of Zn atoms located within the nanoscale pores of dealuminated zeolite Beta. The catalyst is stable in long-term operation and exhibits high activity and high selectivity to propene. Atomic resolution images, bolstered by X-ray absorption spectra, demonstrate predominantly atomic dispersion of the Pt in the nests and, with complementary infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, determine a structural model of the nested Pt.

Abstract
Alkanes are the major constituents of natural gas and crude oil, the feedstocks for the chemical industry. The efficient and selective activation of C-H bonds can convert abundant and low-cost hydrocarbon feedstocks into value-added products. Due to the increasing global demand for light alkenes and their corresponding polymers as well as synthesis gas and hydrogen production, C-H bond activation of light alkanes has attracted widespread attention. A theoretical understanding of C-H bond activation in light hydrocarbons via density functional theory (DFT) and microkinetic modeling provides a feasible approach to gain insight into the process and guidelines for designing more efficient catalysts to promote light alkane transformation. This review describes the recent progress in computational catalysis that has addressed the C-H bond activation of light alkanes. We start with direct and oxidative C-H bond activation of methane, with emphasis placed on kinetic and mechanistic insights obtained from DFT assisted microkinetic analysis into steam and dry reforming, and the partial oxidation dependence on metal/oxide surfaces and nanoparticle size. Direct and oxidative activation of the C-H bond of ethane and propane on various metal and oxide surfaces are subsequently reviewed, including the elucidation of active sites, intriguing mechanisms, microkinetic modeling, and electronic features of the ethane and propane conversion processes with a focus on suppressing the side reaction and coke formation. The main target of this review is to give fundamental insight into C-H bond activation of light alkanes, which can provide useful guidance for the optimization of catalysts in future research.

Selective ethane dehydrogenation (EDH) is an attractive on-purpose strategy for industrial ethylene production. Design of an effective, stable, and earth-abundant catalyst to replace noble metal Pt is the main obstacle for its large-scale application. Herein, we report an experimentally validated theoretical framework to discover promising catalysts for EDH, which combines descriptor-based microkinetic modeling, high-throughput computations, machine-learning concepts, and experiments. Our approach efficiently evaluates 1,998 bimetallic alloys by using accurately calculated C and CH3 adsorption energies and identifies a small number of new promising noble-metal-free catalysts for selective EDH. A Ni3Mo alloy predicted to be promising is successfully synthesized, and experimentally proven to outperform Pt in selective ethylene production from EDH, representing an important contribution to the improvement of light alkane dehydrogenation to olefins. These results will provide essential additions in the discovery and application of earth-abundant materials in catalysis.

Abstract
Propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10) are short straight-chain alkane molecules that are difficult to convert catalytically. Analogous to propane, butane can be dehydrogenated to butenes (also known as butylenes) or butadiene, which are used industrially as raw materials when synthesizing various chemicals (plastics, rubbers, etc.). In this study, we present results of detailed first-principles-based multiscale modelling of butane dehydrogenation, consisting of three size- and time-scales. The reaction is modelled over Cr2O3(0001) chromium oxide, which is commonly used in the industrial setting. A complete 108-step reaction pathway of butane (C4H10) dehydrogenation was studied, yielding 1-butene (CH2CHCH2CH3) and 2-butene (CH3CHCHCH3), 1-butyne (CHCCH2CH3) and 2-butyne (CH3CCCH3), butadiene (CH2CHCHCH2), butenyne (CH2CHCCH), and ultimately butadiyne (CHCCCH). We include cracking and coking reactions (yielding C1, C2, and C3 hydrocarbons) in the model to provide a thorough description of catalyst deactivation as a function of the temperature and time. Density functional theory calculations with the Hubbard U model were used to study the reaction on the atomistic scale, resulting in the complete energetics and first-principles kinetic parameters for the dehydrogenation reaction. They were cast in a kinetic model using mean-field microkinetics and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The former was used to obtain gas equilibrium conditions in the steady-state regime, which were fed in the latter to provide accurate surface kinetics. A full reactor simulation was used to account for the macroscopic properties of the catalytic particles: their loading, specific surface area, and density and reactor parameters: size, design, and feed gas flow. With this approach, we obtained first-principles estimates of the catalytic conversion, selectivity to products, and time dependence of the catalyst activity, which can be paralleled to experimental data. We show that 2-butene is the most abundant product of dehydrogenation, with selectivity above 90% and turn-over frequency above 10-3 s-1 at T = 900 K. Butane conversion is below 5% at such low temperature, but rises above 40% at T > 1100 K. Activity starts to drop after ∼6 h because of surface poisoning with carbon. We conclude that the dehydrogenation of butane is a viable alternative to conventional olefin production processes.

Abstract
The catalytic dehydrogenation of propane to propene is an alternative technique to supplement the traditional steam cracking and catalytic cracking process for satisfying the continuously increasing demand for propylene downstream products. In this study, the parent PtSn/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was fabricated via the one-step method for the subsequent La post-modification to prepare the catalysts for propane dehydrogenation. The prepared and spent catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption–desorption, scanning electron microscope (SEM), NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), H2 temperature-programmed desorption (H2-TPR), and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The catalytic performance and characterization results demonstrated that the addition of La into the parent catalyst could significantly improve the catalytic performance of the prepared catalyst. Especially, the PtSn-La2.2 catalyst with the 2.2 wt.% La addition exhibited the stable and highest propylene selectivity (>84%) under the investigation time of 800 min. The introduced La exhibits the ability to adjust the textural properties of the obtained catalysts, curb the acidity of support, promote the reduction of Pt species, and reduce the carbon accumulation on the prepared catalysts.

Abstract
Chemical utilization of ethane to produce valuable chemicals has become especially attractive since the expanded utilization of shale gas in the United States and associated petroleum gas in the Middle East. Catalytic conversion to ethylene and aromatic hydrocarbons through non-oxidative dehydrogenation and dehydroaromatization of ethane (EDH and EDA) are potentially beneficial technologies because of their high selectivity to products. The former represents an attractive alternative to conventional thermal cracking of ethane. The latter can produce valuable aromatic hydrocarbons from a cheap feedstock. Nevertheless, further progress in catalytic science and technology is indispensable to implement these processes beneficially. This review summarizes progress that has been achieved with non-oxidative EDH and EDA in terms of the nature of active sites and reaction mechanisms. Briefly, platinum-, chromium- and gallium-based catalysts have been introduced mainly for EDH, including effects of carbon dioxide co-feeding. Efforts to use EDA have emphasized zinc-modified MFI zeolite catalysts. Finally, some avenues for development of catalytic science and technology for ethane conversion are summarized.

Abstract
In comparison with oil-based cracking technologies, the on-purpose dehydrogenation of propane (PDH) is a more eco-friendly and profitable approach to produce propylene. By means of density functional theory calculations, the present work reveals that the single vanadium (V) atom anchored on graphitic carbon nitride (V1/g-C3N4) may serve as a promising single-atom catalyst for non-oxidative PDH with industrially practical activity, selectivity, and thermal stability. The high activity of V1/g-C3N4 for PDH is attributed to the low-coordinated 3d orbitals of single V atoms, while the propylene selectivity is originated from the inhibition of the di-σ binding mode of propylene on the single V atoms. This work provides a guideline to design and screen out promising single-atom catalysts for selective dehydrogenation of alkanes.

Abstract
Alloying is well-known to improve the dehydrogenation selectivity of pure metals, but there remains considerable debate about the structural and electronic features of alloy surfaces that give rise to this behavior. To provide molecular-level insights into these effects, a series of Pd intermetallic alloy catalysts with Zn, Ga, In, Fe and Mn promoter elements was synthesized, and the structures were determined using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD). The alloys all showed propane dehydrogenation turnover rates 5–8 times higher than monometallic Pd and selectivity to propylene of over 90%. Moreover, among the synthesized alloys, Pd3M alloy structures were less olefin selective than PdM alloys which were, in turn, almost 100% selective to propylene. This selectivity improvement was interpreted by changes in the DFT-calculated binding energies and activation energies for C–C and C–H bond activation, which are ultimately influenced by perturbation of the most stable adsorption site and changes to the d-band density of states. Furthermore, transition state analysis showed that the C–C bond breaking reactions require 4-fold ensemble sites, which are suggested to be required for non-selective, alkane hydrogenolysis reactions. These sites, which are not present on alloys with PdM structures, could be formed in the Pd3M alloy through substitution of one M atom with Pd, and this effect is suggested to be partially responsible for their slightly lower selectivity. Alloying is well-known to improve the dehydrogenation selectivity of pure metals, but there remains considerable debate about the structural and electronic features of alloy surfaces that give rise to this behavior.![]()

Abstract
The effect of the Pt–Sn/α-Al2O3 catalyst reduction method on dehydrogenation of mixed-light paraffins to olefins has been studied in this work. Pt–Sn/α-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by two different methods: (a) liquid phase reduction with NaBH4 and (b) gas phase reduction with hydrogen. The catalytic performance of these two catalysts for dehydrogenation of paraffins was compared. Also, the synergy between the catalyst reduction method and mixed-paraffin feed (against individual paraffin feed) was studied. The catalysts were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. The individual and mixed-paraffin feed dehydrogenation experiments were carried out in a packed bed reactor fabricated from Inconel 600, operating at 600 °C and 10 psi pressure. The dehydrogenation products were analyzed using an online gas chromatograph (GC) with flame ionization detector (FID). The total paraffin conversion and olefin selectivity for individual paraffin feed (propane only and butane only) and mixed-paraffin feed were compared. The conversion of propane only feed was found to be 10.7% and 9.9%, with olefin selectivity of 499% and 490% for NaBH4 and hydrogen reduced catalysts, respectively. The conversion of butane only feed was found to be 24.4% and 23.3%, with olefin selectivity of 405% and 418% for NaBH4 and hydrogen reduced catalysts, respectively. The conversion of propane and butane during mixed-feed dehydrogenation was measured to be 21.4% and 30.6% for the NaBH4 reduced catalyst, and 17.2%, 22.4% for the hydrogen reduced catalyst, respectively. The olefin selectivity was 422% and 415% for NaBH4 and hydrogen reduced catalysts, respectively. The conversions of propane and butane for mixed-paraffin feed were found to be higher when compared with individual paraffin dehydrogenation. The thermogravimetric studies of used catalysts under oxygen atmosphere showed that the amount of coke deposited during mixed-paraffin feed is less compared with individual paraffin feed for both catalysts. The study showed NaBH4 as a simple and promising alternative reduction method for the synthesis of Pt–Sn/Al2O3 catalyst for paraffin dehydrogenation. Further, the studies revealed that mixed-paraffin feed dehydrogenation gave higher conversions without significantly affecting olefin selectivity.
