Abstract
Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) serves as a pivotal intentional technique to produce propylene. The stability of PDH catalysts is generally restricted by the readsorption of propylene which can subsequently undergo side reactions for coke formation. Herein, we demonstrate an ultrastable PDH catalyst by encapsulating PtIn clusters within silicalite-1 which serves as an efficient promoter for olefin desorption. The mean lifetime of PtIn@S-1 (S-1, silicalite-1) was calculated as 37317 h with high propylene selectivity of >97% at 580 °C with a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 4.7 h-1. With an ultrahigh WHSV of 1128 h-1, which pushed the catalyst away from the equilibrium conversion to 13.3%, PtIn@S-1 substantially outperformed other reported PDH catalysts in terms of mean lifetime (32058 h), reaction rates (3.42 molpropylene gcat-1 h-1 and 341.90 molpropylene gPt-1 h-1), and total turnover number (14387.30 kgpropylene gcat-1). The developed catalyst is likely to lead the way to scalable PDH applications.

Abstract
Electrochemical ethanol oxidation is crucial to directly convert a biorenewable liquid fuel with high energy density into electrical energy, but it remains an inefficient reaction even with the best catalysts. To boost ethanol oxidation, developing multimetallic nanoalloy has emerged as one of the most effective strategies, yet faces a challenge in the rational engineering of multimetallic active-site ensembles at atomic-level. Herein, starting from typical PtCu nanocrystals, an atomic Sn diffusion strategy is developed to construct well-defined Pt47Sn12Cu41 octopod nanoframes, which is enclosed by high-index facets of n (111)-(111), such as {331} and {221}. Pt47Sn12Cu41 achieves a high mass activity of 3.10 A mg-1 Pt and promotes the C-C bond breaking and oxidation of poisonous CO intermediate, representing a state-of-the-art electrocatalyst toward ethanol oxidation in acidic electrolyte. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have confirmed that the introduction of Sn improves the electroactivity by uplifting the d-band center through the s-p-d coupling. Meanwhile, the strong binding of ethanol and the reduced energy barrier of CO oxidation guarantee a highly efficient ethanol oxidation process with improved Faradic efficiency of C1 products. This work offers a promising strategy for constructing novel multimetallic nanoalloys tailored by atomic metal sites as the efficient electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is closely related to the fields of food and energy that humans depend on. The exploitation of advanced catalysts for NH3 synthesis has been a research hotspot for more than one hundred years. Previous studies have shown that the Ru B5 sites (step sites on the Ru (0001) surface uniquely arranged with five Ru atoms) and Fe C7 sites (iron atoms with seven nearest neighbors) over nanoparticle catalysts are highly reactive for N2-to-NH3 conversion. In recent years, single-atom and cluster catalysts, where the B5 sites and C7 sites are absent, have emerged as promising catalysts for efficient NH3 synthesis. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in single-atom and cluster catalysts, including single-atom catalysts (SACs), single-cluster catalysts (SCCs), and bimetallic-cluster catalysts (BCCs), for thermocatalytic NH3 synthesis at mild conditions. In addition, we discussed and summarized the unique structural properties and reaction performance as well as reaction mechanisms over single-atom and cluster catalysts in comparison with traditional nanoparticle catalysts. Finally, the challenges and prospects in the rational design of efficient single-atom and cluster catalysts for NH3 synthesis were provided.

Abstract
The structure of catalysts determines the performance of catalytic processes. Intrinsically, the electronic and geometric structures influence the interaction between active species and the surface of the catalyst, which subsequently regulates the adsorption, reaction, and desorption behaviors. In recent decades, the development of catalysts with complex structures, including bulk, interfacial, encapsulated, and atomically dispersed structures, can potentially affect the electronic and geometric structures of catalysts and lead to further control of the transport and reaction of molecules. This review describes comprehensive understandings on the influence of electronic and geometric properties and complex catalyst structures on the performance of relevant heterogeneous catalytic processes, especially for the transport and reaction over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules. The recent research progress of the electronic and geometric properties over the active sites, specifically for theoretical descriptors developed in the recent decades, is discussed at the atomic level. The designs and properties of catalysts with specific structures are summarized. The transport phenomena and reactions over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules are analyzed. At the end of this review, we present our perspectives on the challenges for the further development of structured catalysts and heterogeneous catalytic processes.

Abstract
Propylene production through propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is endothermic, and high temperatures required to achieve acceptable propane conversions lead to low selectivity and severe carbon-induced deactivation of conventional catalysts. We developed a catalyst-membrane system that removes the hydrogen by-product and can thus achieve propane conversions that exceed equilibrium limits. In this codesigned system, a silica/alumina (SiO2/Al2O3) hollow-fiber hydrogen membrane was packed with a selective platinum-tin (Pt1Sn1/SiO2) PDH catalyst on the tube side with hydrogen diffusing from the tube to the shell side. We demonstrate that the catalyst-membrane system can achieve propane conversions >140% of the nominal equilibrium conversion with a propylene selectivity >98% without deactivation of the system components. We also show that by introducing oxygen on the shell side of the catalyst-membrane system, we can couple the endothermic PDH reaction on the tube side with exothermic hydrogen oxidation on the shell side. This coupling results in higher rates of hydrogen transport, leading to further enhancements in the propane conversion as well as desired thermoneutral system operation.

Abstract
An enclosed nanospace often shows a significant confinement effect on chemistry within its inner cavity, while whether an open space can have this effect remains elusive. Here, we show that the open surface of TiO2 creates a confined environment for In2O3 which drives spontaneous transformation of free In2O3 nanoparticles in physical contact with TiO2 nanoparticles into In oxide (InOx) nanolayers covering onto the TiO2 surface during CO2 hydrogenation to CO. The formed InOx nanolayers are easy to create surface oxygen vacancies but are against over-reduction to metallic In in the H2-rich atmospheres, which thus show significantly enhanced activity and stability in comparison with the pure In2O3 catalyst. The formation of interfacial In-O-Ti bonding is identified to drive the In2O3 dispersion and stabilize the metastable InOx layers. The InOx overlayers with distinct chemistry from their free counterpart can be confined on various oxide surfaces, demonstrating the important confinement effect at oxide/oxide interfaces.

Abstract
Reactant-induced structural evolutions of heterogeneous metal catalysts are frequently observed in numerous catalytic systems, which can be associated with the formation or deactivation of active sites. In this work, we will show the structural transformation of subnanometer Pt clusters in pure-silica MFI zeolite structure in the presence of CO, O2, and/or H2O and the catalytic consequences of the Pt-zeolite materials derived from various treatment conditions. By applying the appropriate pretreatment under a reactant atmosphere, we can precisely modulate the size distribution of Pt species spanning from single Pt atoms to small Pt nanoparticles (1-5 nm) in the zeolite matrix, resulting in the desirably active and stable Pt species for CO oxidation. We also show the incorporation of Fe into the zeolite framework greatly promotes the stability of Pt species against undesired sintering under harsh conditions (up to 650 °C in the presence of CO, O2, and moisture).

Abstract
Ammonia reforming of light alkane is conventionally employed for HCN production where coproduct H2 is burned for heating owing to the high reaction temperature (1200 °C) of such a highly endothermic process. Here, we show that a Ni3Ga1 intermetallic compound (IMC) catalyst is highly efficient for such a reaction, realizing efficient conversion of C1-C3 alkanes at 575-750 °C. This makes it feasible for on-purpose COx-free H2 production assuming that ammonia, as an H2 carrier, is ubiquitously available from renewable energy. At 650 °C and an alkane/ammonia ratio of 1/2, ethane and propane conversion of ∼20% and methane conversion of 13% were obtained (with nearly 100% HCN selectivity for methane and ethane) over the unsupported Ni3Ga1 IMC, which also shows high stability due to the absence of coke deposition. This breakthrough is achieved by employing a stoichiometric Ni3Ga1 mixed oxalate solid solution as the precursor for the Ni3Ga1 IMC.

Abstract
The strong promotion effects of alkali/alkaline earth metals are frequently reported for heterogeneous catalytic processes such as propane dehydrogenation (PDH), but their functioning principles remain elusive. This paper describes the effect of the addition of calcium (Ca) on reducing the deactivation rate of platinum-tin (Pt-Sn) catalyzed PDH from 0.04 h-1 to 0.0098 h-1 at 873 K under a WHSV of 16.5 h-1 of propane. The Pt-Sn-Ca catalyst shows a high propylene selectivity of >96% with a propylene production rate of 41 molC3H6 (gPt h)-1 and ∼1% activity loss after regeneration. The combination of characterization and DFT simulations reveals that Ca acts as a structural promoter favoring the transition of Snn+ in the parent catalyst to Sn0 during reduction, and the latter is an electron donor that increases the electron density of Pt. This greatly suppresses coke formation from deep dehydrogenation. Moreover, it was found that Ca promotes the formation of a highly reactive and sintering-resistant sub-nano Pt-Sn alloy with a diameter of approximately 0.8 nm. These lead to high activity and selectivity for the Pt-Sn-Ca catalyst for PDH.

[PMID: 38018330 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202316459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
The development of highly efficient photocatalysts for conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) with water (H2 O) into chemical fuels is of great importance for energy sustainability and carbon resource utilization. Herein, we demonstrated a facile hydrothermal method for in situ construction of subnanometric Bi metallic clusters in pyrochlore-Bi2 Sn2 O7 frameworks, leading to the remarkable improvements of photocatalytic performances for CO2 reduction into CO in the absence of sacrificial reagent. More specifically, an outstanding CO evolution activity of 114.1 μmol g-1 h-1 has been achieved, more than 20-fold improvement compared with the pristine Bi2 Sn2 O7 (5.7 μmol g-1 h-1 ). Detailed experiments together with in situ characterizations reveal that the spatially confined Bi clusters could significantly promote charge-separation/electron-enrichment and adsorption/activation of CO2 molecules, which provides highly efficient reaction channels to facilitate the generation of *COOH intermediate as well as the subsequent desorption of *CO towards CO formation. These demonstrations provide an important knowledge for precise design and fabrication of highly efficient photocatalysts for CO2 conversion into solar fuels.

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
In zeolite frameworks, double four-ring (d4r) configurations are among the most frequent composite building units. The composition variations in d4r units greatly influence the energy and structural modifiability of the zeolitic framework. The introduction of germanium, with a larger ionic radius than silicon or aluminum, not only reduces the energy constraints of d4r in the nucleation and crystal growth of zeolites, but also opens a new window for constructing novel crystalline structures, especially with large or extra-large pores and channels. Ge-enriched d4r units endow germanosilicates with structure diversity readily for post treatments. Promising catalytic materials have been gradually developed and increasingly studied by direct synthesis or post-synthetic isomorphous substitution for Ge. This review focuses on the recent progress in the synthesis, modification, and catalytic application of d4r-containing zeolites, including germanosilicates, aluminosilicates, and silicates.

Abstract
Well-defined bimetallic heterogeneous catalysts are not only difficult to synthesize in a controlled manner, but their elemental distributions are also notoriously challenging to define. Knowledge of these distributions is required for both the as-synthesized catalyst and its activated form under reaction conditions, where various types of reconstruction can occur. Success in this endeavor requires observation of the active catalyst via in situ analytical methods. As a step toward this goal, we present a composite material composed of bimetallic nickel-ruthenium nanoparticles supported on a protonated zeolite (Ni-Ru/HZSM-5) and probe its evolution and function as a photoactive carbon dioxide methanation catalyst using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The working Ni-Ru/HZSM-5, as a selective and durable photothermal CO2 methanation catalyst, comprises a corona of Ru nanoparticles decorating a Ni nanoparticle core. The specific Ni-Ru interactions in the bimetallic particles were confirmed by in situ XAS, which reveals significant electron transfer from Ni to Ru. The light-harvesting Ni nanoparticle core and electron-accepting Ru nanoparticle corona serve as the CO2 and H2 dissociation centers, respectively. These Ni and Ru nanoparticles also promote synergistic photothermal and hydrogen atom transfer effects. Collectively, these effects enable an associative CO2 methanation reaction pathway while hindering coking and fostering high selectivity toward methane.

Abstract
Pt-based catalysts have been widely used in propane dehydrogenation due to their superior activation of C-H bonds and weak scission of C-C bonds. However, in the process of repeated calcination to remove deposited coke, the active Pt species tend to sinter, resulting in a significant decline in catalytic activity. In this study, amorphous CeOx islands loaded on dealuminated Beta zeolite were prepared via simple wetness impregnation. Then, partially embedded Pt nanoparticles in CeOx islands were obtained after reduction owing to the affinity of CeOx for Pt. In the propane dehydrogenation reaction, Pt/Ce5-SiBeta with a Ce loading of 4.55 wt % and Pt loading of 0.72 wt % exhibited the highest activity and the lowest inactivation constant at 550 °C. More importantly, due to the anchoring effect of CeOx on Pt, the catalytic activity of Pt could be recovered after a simple calcination-reduction regeneration process, avoiding the chlorination treatment for the redispersion of Pt species used in industry. In addition, to improve the selectivity of the Pt/Ce5-SiBeta catalyst, a PtSn/Ce5-SiBeta catalyst with excellent activity, selectivity, and recycling stability has been prepared by introducing Sn into Pt/Ce5-SiBeta. The use of amorphous CeOx islands to improve the sintering resistance of Pt opens up new prospects for the design of stable industrial dehydrogenation catalysts.

Abstract
Zeolite-encapsulated subnanometer metal catalysts are an emerging class of solid catalysts with superior performances in comparison to metal catalysts supported on open-structure solid carriers. Currently, there is no general synthesis methodology for the encapsulation of subnanometer metal catalysts in different zeolite structures. In this work, we will show a general synthesis method for the encapsulation of subnanometer metal clusters (Pt, Pd, and Rh) within various silicoaluminate zeolites with different topologies (MFI, CHA, TON, MOR). The successful generation of subnanometer metal species in silicoaluminate zeolites relies on the introduction of Sn, which can suppress the migration of subnanometer metal species during high-temperature oxidation-reduction treatments according to advanced electron microscopy and spectroscopy characterizations. The advantage of encapsulated subnanometer Pt catalysts in silicoaluminate zeolites is reflected in the direct coupling of ethane and benzene for production of ethylbenzene, in which the Pt and the acid sites work in a synergistic way.

Abstract
The metal surfaces tend to be oxidized in air through dissociation of the O-O bond of oxygen to reduce the performances in various fields. Although several ligand modification routes have alleviated the oxidation of bulky metal surfaces, it is still a challenge for the oxidation resistance of small-size metal nanoparticles. Herein, we fixed the small-size Pd nanoparticles in tin-contained MFI zeolite crystals, where the tin acts as an electron donor to efficiently hinder the oxidation of Pd by weakening the adsorption of molecular oxygen and suppressing the O-O cleavage. This oxidation-resistant Pd catalyst exhibited superior performance in directly synthesizing hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen, with the productivity of hydrogen peroxide at ≈10,170 mmol gPd -1 h-1 , steadily outperforming the catalysts tested previously. This work leads to the hypothesis that tin is an electron donor to realize oxidation-resistant Pd within zeolite crystals for efficient catalysis to overcome the limitation of generally supported Pd catalysts and further motivates the use of oxidation-resistant metal nanoparticles in various fields.

Abstract
Non-oxidative dehydrogenation of propane is a highly efficient approach for industrial preparation of propene that is commonly catalyzed by noble Pt or toxic Cr catalysts and suffers from coking. In this work, ferric catalyst confined in a zeolite framework was synthesized by a hydrothermal procedure. The isolated Fe in the framework formed distorted tetrahedra, which were beneficial for the selective dehydrogenation of propane and reached over 95 % propene selectivity and over 99 % total olefins selectivity. This catalyst had a silanol-free structure and was oxygen tolerant, hydrothermally stable, and coke free, with a deactivation constant of 0.01 h-1 . This study provided guidance for the synthesis of structural heteroatomic zeolite and efficient propane non-oxidative dehydrogenation over early transition metals.

Abstract
In this work, using a combination of scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), the transformations of palladium-containing species in imidazolium ionic liquids in reaction mixtures of the Mizoroki-Heck reaction and in related organic media are studied to understand a challenging question of the relative reactivity of organic halides as key substrates in modern catalytic technologies. The microscopy technique detects the formation of a stable nanosized palladium phase under the action of an aryl (Ar) halide capable of forming microcompartments in an ionic liquid. For the first time, the correlation between the reactivity of the aryl halide and the microdomain structure is observed: Ar-I (well-developed microdomains) > Ar-Br (microphase present) > Ar-Cl (minor amount of microphase). Previously, it is assumed that molecular level factors, namely, carbon-halogen bond strength and the ease of bond breakage, are the sole factors determining the reactivity of aryl halides in catalytic transformations. The present work reports a new factor connected with the nature of the organic substrates used and their ability to form a microdomain structure and concentrate metallic species, highlighting the importance of considering both the molecular and microscale properties of the reaction mixtures.

Abstract
We demonstrate that for polyethylene depolymerization with induction heating (IH), using a bifunctional (Pt- or Pt-Sn-containing zeolite) hydrocracking catalyst, we can obtain high hydrocarbon product yields (up to 95 wt % in 2 h) at a relatively low surface temperature (375 °C) and with a tunable product distribution ranging from light gas products to gasoline- to diesel-range hydrocarbons. Four zeolite types [MFI, LTL, CHA(SSZ-13), and TON] were chosen as the supports due to their varying pore sizes and structures. These depolymerization results are obtained at atmospheric pressure and without the use of H2 and result in an alkane/alkene mixture with virtually no methane, aromatics, or coke formation. We also demonstrate how IH helps overcome diffusional resistances associated with conventional thermal heating and thereby shortens reaction times.

Abstract
Structural and compositional inhomogeneity is common in zeolites and considerably affects their properties. Thickness-limited lateral resolution, lack of depth resolution, and electron dose-constrained focusing limit local structural studies of zeolites in conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We demonstrate that a multislice ptychography method based on four-dimensional scanning TEM (4D-STEM) data can overcome these limitations. Images obtained from a ~40-nanometer-thick MFI zeolite exhibited a lateral resolution of ~0.85 angstrom that enabled the identification of individual framework oxygen (O) atoms and the precise determination of the orientations of adsorbed molecules. Furthermore, a depth resolution of ~6.6 nanometers allowed probing of the three-dimensional distribution of O vacancies, as well as the phase boundaries in intergrown MFI and MEL zeolites. The 4D-STEM ptychography can be generally applied to other materials with similar high electron-beam sensitivity.

Structure-dependence and metal-dependence on atomically dispersed Ir catalysts for efficient n-butane dehydrogenation. Nat Commun 2023; 14:2588. [PMID: 37147403 PMCID: PMC10162968 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-38361-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Single-site pincer-ligated iridium complexes exhibit the ability for C-H activation in homogeneous catalysis. However, instability and difficulty in catalyst recycling are inherent disadvantages of the homogeneous catalyst, limiting its development. Here, we report an atomically dispersed Ir catalyst as the bridge between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, which displays an outstanding catalytic performance for n-butane dehydrogenation, with a remarkable n-butane reaction rate (8.8 mol·gIr-1·h-1) and high butene selectivity (95.6%) at low temperature (450 °C). Significantly, we correlate the BDH activity with the Ir species from nanoscale to sub-nanoscale, to reveal the nature of structure-dependence of catalyst. Moreover, we compare Ir single atoms with Pt single atoms and Pd single atoms for in-depth understanding the nature of metal-dependence at the atomic level. From experimental and theoretical calculations results, the isolated Ir site is suitable for both reactant adsorption/activation and product desorption. Its remarkable dehydrogenation capacity and moderate adsorption behavior are the key to the outstanding catalytic activity and selectivity.

Abstract
Metal-exchanged zeolites are well-known propane dehydrogenation (PDH) catalysts; however, the structure of the active species remains unresolved. In this review, existing PDH catalysts are first surveyed, and then the current understanding of metal-exchanged zeolite catalysts is described in detail. The case of Ga/H-ZSM-5 is employed to showcase that advances in the understanding of structure-activity relations are often accompanied by technological or conceptional breakthroughs. The understanding of Ga speciation at PDH conditions has evolved owing to the advent of in situ/operando characterizations and to the realization that the local coordination environment of Ga species afforded by the zeolite support has a decisive impact on the active site structure. In situ/operando quantitative characterization of catalysts, rigorous determination of intrinsic reaction rates, and predictive computational modeling are all significant in identifying the most active structure in these complex systems. The reaction mechanism could be both intricately related to and nearly independent of the details of the assumed active structure, as in the two main proposed PDH mechanisms on Ga/H-ZSM-5, that is, the carbenium mechanism and the alkyl mechanism. Perspectives on potential approaches to further elucidate the active structure of metal-exchanged zeolite catalysts and reaction mechanisms are discussed in the final section.

Abstract
Precise determination of the structure-property relationship of zeolite-based metal catalysts is critical for the development toward practical applications. However, the scarcity of real-space imaging of zeolite-based low-atomic-number (LAN) metal materials due to the electron-beam sensitivity of zeolites has led to continuous debates regarding the exact LAN metal configurations. Here, a low-damage high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) imaging technique is employed for direct visualization and determination of LAN metal (Cu) species in ZSM-5 zeolite frameworks. The structures of the Cu species are revealed based on the microscopy evidence and also proved by the complementary spectroscopy results. The correlation between the characteristic Cu size in Cu/ZSM-5 catalysts and their direct oxidation of methane to methanol reaction properties is unveiled. As a result, the mono-Cu species stably anchored by Al pairs inside the zeolite channels are identified as the key structure for higher C1 oxygenates yield and methanol selectivity for direct oxidation of methane. Meanwhile, the local topological flexibility of the rigid zeolite frameworks induced by the Cu agglomeration in the channels is also revealed. This work exemplifies the combination of microscopy imaging and spectroscopy characterization serves as a complete arsenal for revealing structure-property relationships of the supported metal-zeolite catalysts.

Abstract
Heterogeneous bimetallic catalysts have broad applications in industrial processes, but achieving a fundamental understanding on the nature of the active sites in bimetallic catalysts at the atomic and molecular level is very challenging due to the structural complexity of the bimetallic catalysts. Comparing the structural features and the catalytic performances of different bimetallic entities will favor the formation of a unified understanding of the structure-reactivity relationships in heterogeneous bimetallic catalysts and thereby facilitate the upgrading of the current bimetallic catalysts. In this review, we will discuss the geometric and electronic structures of three representative types of bimetallic catalysts (bimetallic binuclear sites, bimetallic nanoclusters, and nanoparticles) and then summarize the synthesis methodologies and characterization techniques for different bimetallic entities, with emphasis on the recent progress made in the past decade. The catalytic applications of supported bimetallic binuclear sites, bimetallic nanoclusters, and nanoparticles for a series of important reactions are discussed. Finally, we will discuss the future research directions of catalysis based on supported bimetallic catalysts and, more generally, the prospective developments of heterogeneous catalysis in both fundamental research and practical applications.

Abstract
Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane is a promising technology for the preparation of propene. Boron-based nonmetal catalysts exhibit remarkable selectivity toward propene and limit the generation of COx byproducts due to unique radical-mediated C-H activation. However, due to the high barrier of O-H bond cleavage in the presence of O2, the radical initialization of the B-based materials requires a high temperature to proceed, which decreases the thermodynamic advantages of the oxidative dehydrogenation reaction. Here, we report that the boron oxide overlayer formed in situ over metallic Ni nanoparticles exhibits extraordinarily low-temperature activity and selectivity for the ODHP reaction. With the assistance of subsurface Ni, the surface specific activity of the BOx overlayer reaches 93 times higher than that of bare boron nitride. A mechanistic study reveals that the strong affinity of the subsurface Ni to the oxygen atoms reduces the barrier of radical initiation and thereby balances the rates of the BO-H cleavage and the regeneration of boron hydroxyl groups, accounting for the excellent low-temperature performance of Ni@BOx/BN catalysts.

Abstract
The nanoconfinement effect in catalysis has attracted much attention because it provides a novel means of regulating the molecular properties and related reactions. Confined nanoregions composed of both reactants and catalysts through weak interactions are expected to improve the catalytic performance and promote the mass transport of relevant molecules simultaneously. However, at reaction temperatures, the structural variation of such confined spaces constructed via weak interactions remains unclear. Herein, through density functional theory calculations combined with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we have systematically investigated the dynamic structural evolution of the confined space constructed by acetylene reactants and a polyoxometalate-based metal-organic framework (POMOF) via hydrogen-bond networks. It is found that, at the reaction temperature of acetylene semihydrogenation, the hydrogen-bond networks and generated confined nanoregions are not rigid but are constantly changing and dynamically maintained. The steering role played by the O atoms at the surfaces of the polyoxometalate clusters is essential for generation of the hydrogen-bond networks and maintenance of the nanoregions. Upon confinement, the acetylene reactants can be better activated than those in an unconstrained atmosphere, which is reflected by the different dynamic distributions of the ∠CHC bending magnitude. Moreover, from a comparison of the distinct interaction characteristics between acetylene/ethylene and POMOF, the different manifestations in the adsorption energy variations of the confined molecules can be interpreted. This work helps to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of confined catalysis and may promote its application in practical catalytic processes.

CO x hydrogenation to methanol and other hydrocarbons under mild conditions with Mo 3S 4@ZSM-5. Nat Commun 2023; 14:513.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of CO2 or CO to single organic product has received widespread attentions. Here we show a highly efficient and selective catalyst, Mo3S4@ions-ZSM-5, with molybdenum sulfide clusters ([Mo3S4]n+) confined in zeolitic cages of ZSM-5 molecular sieve for the reactions. Using continuous fixed bed reactor, for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, the catalyst Mo3S4@NaZSM-5 shows methanol selectivity larger than 98% at 10.2% of carbon dioxide conversion at 180 °C and maintains the catalytic performance without any degeneration during continuous reaction of 1000 h. For CO hydrogenation, the catalyst Mo3S4@HZSM-5 exhibits a selectivity to C2 and C3 hydrocarbons stably larger than 98% in organics at 260 °C. The structure of the catalysts and the mechanism of COx hydrogenation over the catalysts are fully characterized experimentally and theorectically. Based on the results, we envision that the Mo3S4@ions-ZSM-5 catalysts display the importance of active clusters surrounded by permeable materials as mesocatalysts for discovery of new reactions.

JACS AU 2023; 3:165-175. [PMID: 36711091 PMCID: PMC9875371 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.2c00576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The production of ethylene from ethane dehydrogenation (EDH) is of great importance in the chemical industry, where zeolites are reported to be promising catalysts and kinetic simulations using the energetics from quantum mechanical calculations might provide an effective approach to speed up the development. However, the kinetic simulations with rigorous considerations of the zeolite environment are not yet advanced. In this work, EDH over Fe/SAPO-34 is investigated using quantum mechanical calculations with kinetic simulations. We show that an excellent agreement between the reaction rates from the self-consistent kinetic simulations using the coverage-dependent kinetic model developed in this work and the experimental ones can be achieved. We demonstrate that the adsorbate-adsorbate interactions are of paramount importance to the accuracy of kinetic calculations for zeolite catalysts. Our self-consistent kinetic calculations illustrate that the CH3CH2• radical rather than CH3CH2* is a favored intermediate. Perhaps more importantly, we reveal that the traditional model to describe catalytic reactions in heterogeneous catalysis cannot be used for the kinetics of the system and it may not be appropriate for many real catalytic systems. This work not only builds a framework for accurate kinetic simulations in zeolites, but also emphasizes an important concept beyond the traditional model.

Abstract
Recent advances in high-speed pixelated electron detectors have substantially facilitated the implementation of four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM). A critical application of 4D-STEM is electron ptychography, which reveals the atomic structure of a specimen by reconstructing its transmission function from redundant convergent-beam electron diffraction patterns. Although 4D-STEM ptychography offers many advantages over conventional imaging modes, this emerging technique has not been fully applied to materials highly sensitive to electron beams. In this Outlook, we introduce the fundamentals of 4D-STEM ptychography, focusing on data collection and processing methods, and present the current applications of 4D-STEM ptychography in various materials. Next, we discuss the potential advantages of imaging electron-beam-sensitive materials using 4D-STEM ptychography and explore its feasibility by performing simulations and experiments on a zeolite material. The preliminary results demonstrate that, at the low electron dose required to preserve the zeolite structure, 4D-STEM ptychography can reliably provide higher resolution and greater tolerance to the specimen thickness and probe defocus as compared to existing imaging techniques. In the final section, we discuss the challenges and possible strategies to further reduce the electron dose for 4D-STEM ptychography. If successful, it will be a game-changer for imaging extremely sensitive materials, such as metal-organic frameworks, hybrid halide perovskites, and supramolecular crystals.

Abstract
Zeolites with ordered microporous systems, distinct framework topologies, good spatial nanoconfinement effects, and superior (hydro)thermal stability are an ideal scaffold for planting diverse active metal species, including single sites, clusters, and nanoparticles in the framework and framework-associated sites and extra-framework positions, thus affording the metal-in-zeolite catalysts outstanding activity, unique shape selectivity, and enhanced stability and recyclability in the processes of Brønsted acid-, Lewis acid-, and extra-framework metal-catalyzed reactions. Especially, thanks to the advances in zeolite synthesis and characterization techniques in recent years, zeolite-confined extra-framework metal catalysts (denoted as metal@zeolite composites) have experienced rapid development in heterogeneous catalysis, owing to the combination of the merits of both active metal sites and zeolite intrinsic properties. In this review, we will present the recent developments of synthesis strategies for incorporating and tailoring of active metal sites in zeolites and advanced characterization techniques for identification of the location, distribution, and coordination environment of metal species in zeolites. Furthermore, the catalytic applications of metal-in-zeolite catalysts are demonstrated, with an emphasis on the metal@zeolite composites in hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and oxidation reactions. Finally, we point out the current challenges and future perspectives on precise synthesis, atomic level identification, and practical application of the metal-in-zeolite catalyst system.

Abstract
Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is an industrial technology for direct propylene production, which has received extensive attention and realized large-scale application. At present, the commercial Pt/Cr-based catalysts suffer from fast deactivation and inferior stability resulting from active species sintering and coke depositing. To overcome the above problems, several strategies such as the modification of the support and the introduction of additives have been proposed to strengthen the catalytic performance and prolong the robust stability of Pt/Cr-based catalysts. This review firstly gives a brief description of the development of PDH and PDH catalysts. Then, the advanced research progress of supported noble metals and non-noble metals together with metal-free materials for PDH is systematically summarized along with the material design and active origin as well as the existing problems in the development of PDH catalysts. Furthermore, the review also emphasizes advanced synthetic strategies based on novel design of PDH catalysts with improved dehydrogenation activity and stability. Finally, the future challenges and directions of PDH catalysts are provided for the development of their further industrial application.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) with unique structures and compositions can give rise to exotic physicochemical properties and applications. Despite the advancement in solution-based methods, scalable access to a wide range of crystal phases and intricate compositions is still challenging. Solid-state reaction (SSR) syntheses have high potential owing to their flexibility toward multielemental phases under feasibly high temperatures and solvent-free conditions as well as their scalability and simplicity. Controlling the nanoscale features through SSRs demands a strategic nanospace-confinement approach due to the risk of heat-induced reshaping and sintering. Here, we describe advanced SSR strategies for NM synthesis, focusing on mechanistic insights, novel nanoscale phenomena, and underlying principles using a series of examples under different categories. After introducing the history of classical SSRs, key theories, and definitions central to the topic, we categorize various modern SSR strategies based on the surrounding solid-state media used for nanostructure growth, conversion, and migration under nanospace or dimensional confinement. This comprehensive review will advance the quest for new materials design, synthesis, and applications.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts are often composite materials synthesized via several steps of chemical transformation, and thus the atomic structure in composite is a black-box. Herein with machine-learning-based atomic simulation we explore millions of structures for MFI zeolite encapsulated PtSn catalyst, demonstrating that the machine-learning enhanced large-scale potential energy surface scan offers a unique route to connect the thermodynamics and kinetics within catalysts' preparation procedure. The functionalities of the two stages in catalyst preparation are now clarified, namely, the oxidative clustering and the reductive transformation, which form separated Sn4O4 and PtSn alloy clusters in MFI. These confined clusters have high thermal stability at the intersection voids of MFI because of the formation of "Mortise-and-tenon Joinery". Among, the PtSn clusters with high Pt:Sn ratios (>1:1) are active for propane dehydrogenation to propene, ∼103 in turnover-of-frequency greater than conventional Pt3Sn metal. Key recipes to optimize zeolite-confined metal catalysts are predicted.

Abstract
Zeolites, owing to their great variety and complexity in structure and wide applications in chemistry, have long been the hot topic in chemical research. This perspective first presents a short retrospect of theoretical investigations on zeolites using the tools from classical force fields to quantum mechanics calculations and to the latest machine learning (ML) potential simulations. ML potentials as the next-generation technique for atomic simulation open new avenues to simulate and interpret zeolite systems and thus hold great promise for finally predicting the structure-functionality relation of zeolites. Recent advances using ML potentials are then summarized from two main aspects: the origin of zeolite stability and the mechanism of zeolite-related catalytic reactions. We also discussed the possible scenarios of ML potential application aiming to provide instantaneous and easy access of zeolite properties. These advanced applications could now be accomplished by combining cloud-computing-based techniques with ML potential-based atomic simulations. The future development of ML potentials for zeolites in the respects of improving the calculation accuracy, expanding the application scope and constructing the zeolite-related datasets is finally outlooked.
