J Mol Graph Model 2021; 111:108096. [PMID: 34875503 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2021.108096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2021] [Revised: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Reaction mechanisms of the dehydrogenation of formaldehyde, formic acid and methanol on the Pt4 cluster were computationally investigated using density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP functional in the conjunction with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets for H, C and O atoms, and the cc-pVDZ-PP basis set for Pt. Herein, the key mechanistic aspects of three possible pathways of the dehydrogenation of these compounds are summarized. The results indicate that the formation of H2 and CO or CO2 molecules is more energetically favorable than the generation of H and H2O, HCHO products. Generally, the formation of H2 molecule in the presence of catalysts is more favorable than the direct decomposition of either HCHO, HCOOH or CH3OH molecule. The use of Pt4 catalyst significantly reduces the energy barriers for C-H and O-H bond cleavage of all three compounds to 14, 9 and 12 kcal/mol, respectively. The decomposition of HCOOH is found to be the most energetically favorable. In addition, the mechanistic insights of the reactions confirm the reduction of the energy barriers of the gas-phase dehydrogenation by 67-82 kcal/mol and bring it to the values smaller than 14 kcal/mol in the presence of the Pt4 catalysts.

Abstract
Hydrogen is one of the most promising energy carriers for the production of electricity based on fuel cell hydrogen technology. Recently, hydrogen storage chemicals, such as formic acid, have been proposed to be part of the long-term solution towards hydrogen economy for the future of our planet. Herein we report the synthesis of preformed Pd nanoparticles using colloidal methodology varying a range of specific experimental parameters, such as the amount of the stabiliser and reducing agent, nature of support and Pd loading of the support. The aforementioned parameters have shown to affect mean Pd particle size, Pd oxidation, atomic content of Pd on the surface as well as on the catalytic performance towards formic acid decomposition. Reusability studies were carried out using the most active monometallic Pd material with a small loss of activity after five uses. The catalytic performance based on the Au–Pd atomic ratio was evaluated and the optimum catalytic performance was found to be with the Au/Pd atomic ratio of 1/3, indicating that the presence of a small amount of Pd is essential to promote significantly Au activity for the liquid phase decomposition of formic acid. Thorough characterisation has been carried out by means of XPS, SEM-EDX, TEM and BET. The observed catalytic performance is discussed in terms of the structure/morphology and composition of the supported Pd and Au–Pd nanoparticles.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 366:538-544. [PMID: 30572293 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2018.12.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2018] [Revised: 12/03/2018] [Accepted: 12/06/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Novel bimetallic catalysts supported on activated carbon (AC) with high metal loadings were synthesized by carbonizing an ion-exchange resin. AC-supported Ni-Cu (Ni-Cu/C) and Ni-Zn (Ni-Zn/C) bimetallic catalysts with different Ni:Cu(Zn) ratios were used to decompose Aroclor 1254, which is a commonly used commercial mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls. Characterization with scanning electron microscopy and energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed that the metals were uniformly distributed on the surfaces and inside the catalysts. After 30 min reaction over the Ni-Cu/C catalyst at a low temperature of 250 °C, the efficiencies of Hexa-CBs decomposition present in Aroclor 1254 exceeded 97%, which were higher than those achieved over Ni-Zn/C. These efficiencies increased with Cu content in Ni-Cu/C, and decreased with the amount of Zn in Ni-Zn/C. X-ray photoelectron spectra and X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra of Ni-Cu/C and Ni-Zn/C before and after the reaction indicated that Ni and Cu were oxidized during the reaction. However, Zn showed no significant change, suggesting that Ni and Cu are the active components to promote reaction with Aroclor 1254, whereas Zn is only a spectator. The efficiencies of Aroclor 1254 decomposition over bimetallic catalysts were greater than those over monometallic catalysts, which was confirmed by density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Study of the geometrical structures and electronic properties of metal nanoparticles is a very interesting topic. In this work we studied the effects of cyclohexane, benzene, ethanol, and water on bond lengths, Mulliken charge distributions, binding energy (BE), energy gap between highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) (Δ(HL)), ionization potential (IP) and electron affinity (EA) of Au20, Ag20, Cu20, Au38, Ag38, and Cu38 nanoparticles by using density functional theory (DFT). The results indicated that the properties of the solvents influence the geometrical structures and electronic properties of the metallic nanoparticles considerably, and the solvent effect depends on the properties of the solvents, the size of the metal particles, and the category of the metals. Generally, the properties of smaller particles are more sensitive to the change of the solvents, and the polar solvents have larger effect on the properties.

Abstract
In this review, we have mainly shown the recent computational studies on formic acid adsorption and selective dissociation to produce hydrogen ( HCOOH → CO 2 + H 2) on several metal ( Pt , Pd , Ni , Cu , Rh and Au ) and metal oxide ( TiO 2, MgO , ZnO and NiO ) surfaces, and both thermal decomposition and electro-catalytic oxidation have been discussed. The decomposition mechanisms of formic acid have been studied by using different computational models and methods, not only interesting and exciting but also different and controversial results have been reported. It is noted that the model systems used in these studies are too simple and idealized, and they cannot represent the real catalysts or the catalytic systems, and more sophisticated computational methodologies and real model systems under the consideration of the working conditions are therefore needed.
