Electrochemical upgrading of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural over oxygen vacancy-rich NiCoMn-layered double hydroxides nanosheets

Dr Shaojun Xu of the UK catalysis Hub collaborated with Sun Yat-sen University on a project which resulted in an article published in Green Chemistry on 24th April 2021. The article’s co-first authors are Biying Liu (Sun Yat-sen University supervised by Prof Kai Yan) and Dr Shaojun Xu (Cardiff University and of who was supervised by Professor Sir Richard Catlow at Cardiff and Dr Emma Gibson at Glasgow). Many UK Catalysis Hub researchers and professors were involved.

Rational design of low-cost and active electrocatalysts is crucial for upgrading of biomass-derived chemicals. Here, they report highly efficient catalysts ternary NiCoMn-layered double hydroxides (NiCoMn-LDHs) nanosheets which are oxygen vacancy-rich, produced under controllable conditions for the electrooxidation of both 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and furfural to furoic acid (FurAc) under mild conditions, respectively. High yields of FDCA (91.7%) and FurAc (92.4%) were achieved in 2.5 h using 1.15 nm thick NiCoMn-LDHs nanosheets under the optimal conditions. The mechanism for the superior performance, high durability, and good faradaic efficiency has been elucidated by comprehensive characterization.

Methanol dynamics in H-ZSM-5 with Si/Al ratio of 25: a quasi-elastic neutron scattering QENS study

An article was published in Topics in Catalysis by members of the UK Catalysis Hub including Matam, S.K., Catlow, C.R.A., Silverwood, I.P. et al. 

Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) studies on methanol dynamics in zeolite H-ZSM-5 (Si/Al of 25) reveal that the majority of methanol is immobile, and the mobile methanol fraction presents temperature dependent dynamics. Isotropic rotational dynamics are observed at 298K, and above this temperature translational diffusional dynamics are detected.

The role of Zn in the sustainable one-pot synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from carbon dioxide, methanol and propylene oxide

The UK Catalysis Hub collaborated in a project which resulted in a new paper in Chemical Engineering Science, “The role of Zn in the sustainable one-pot synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from carbon dioxide, methanol and propylene oxide.” The papers authors were Ming Liu, Mariia Konstantinova, Leila Negahdar and James McGregor. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is most discussed in negative terms as a greenhouse gas and major contributor to anthropogenic climate change. However, CO2 can be converted directly to green chemicals as it can incorporate waste resources in the production of value-added, sustainable substances. In this research, carbon dioxide has been utilised in the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) ̶ a greener alternative to more hazardous materials, e.g., phosgene or dimethyl sulphate. The catalyst system of K2CO3-NaBr-ZnO has been employed in the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from methanol, propylene oxide and carbon dioxide. The addition of Zn powder to this catalyst system promotes DMC formation through new reaction routes and increases the stability of the catalyst by preventing the active ingredients on the catalyst surface from leaching. Elevated pressure was not found to be a necessary reaction condition. This study shows that higher selectivity towards DMC can be achieved at mild conditions with the addition of Zn powder. Visit https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ces.2020.116267 for the full paper.

Monitoring dynamics of defects and single Fe atoms Rosa Arrigo

A team led by Rosa Arrigo (Salford University) and Manfred E. Schuster (Johnson Matthey) collaborated with the UK Catalysis Hub on work that resulted in an article published in the Journal of Energy Chemistry, Volume 64, 2022, Pages 520-530, “Monitoring dynamics of defects and single Fe atoms in N-functionalized few-layer graphene by in situ temperature programmed scanning transmission electron microscopy.” In this study, they aimed to contribute an understanding of the pathway of formation of Fe species during top-down synthesis of dispersed Fe on N-functionalized few layer graphene, widely used in electrocatalysis. They used X-ray absorption spectroscopy to determine the electronic structure and coordination geometry of the Fe species and in situ high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy combined with atomic resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy to localize these, identify their chemical configuration and monitor their dynamics during thermal annealing. Here they provide the experimental evidence of the formation of these polynuclear Fe–N sites and their structural characteristics. Read the full paper at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jechem.2021.05.005

Relationship between Mn Oxidation State Changes and Oxygen Reduction Activity

An article was published in ACS Catalysis by members of the UK Catalysis Hub including Dr. Veronica Celorrio, Andrew S. Leach, Haoliang Huang, Shusaku Hayama, Adam Freeman, David W. Inwood, David J. Fermin, and Andrea E. Russell. In situ X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopies (XAS and XES) are used to provide details regarding the role of the accessibility and extent of redox activity of the Mn ions in determining the oxygen reduction activity of LaMnO3 and CaMnO3, with X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) providing the average oxidation state, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) providing the local coordination environment, and XES providing the population ratios of the Mn2+, Mn3+, and Mn4+ sites as a function of the applied potential. The results presented have implications in terms of understanding of both the pseudocapacitive response of Mn oxide electrocatalysts and the processes behind degradation of the activity of the materials.

LanCLs add glutathione to dehydroamino acids generated at phosphorylated sites in the proteome

Prof. Ben Davis’s group at Oxford University and the UK Catalysis Hub collaborated on a project with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and The Rosalind Franklin Institute, which resulted in an article published in Cell on 30 April 2021.

Enzyme-mediated damage repair or mitigation, while common for nucleic acids, is rare for proteins. Examples of protein damage are elimination of phosphorylated Ser/Thr to dehydroalanine/dehydrobutyrine (Dha/Dhb) in pathogenesis and aging. Bacterial LanC enzymes use Dha/Dhb to form carbon-sulfur linkages in antimicrobial peptides, but the functions of eukaryotic LanC-like (LanCL) counterparts are unknown. The work shows that LanCLs catalyze the addition of glutathione to Dha/Dhb in proteins, driving irreversible C-glutathionylation.

Methanol loading dependent methoxylation in zeolite H-ZSM-5

We evaluate the effect of the number of methanol molecules per acidic site of H-ZSM-5 on the methoxylation reaction at room temperature by applying operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transformed spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and mass spectrometry (MS), which capture the methoxylation reaction by simultaneously probing surface adsorbed species and reaction products, respectively. Room temperature methoxylation is methanol loading dependent: the higher the methanol loading, the faster the methoxylation. Methanol load of ≥2 leads to methoxylation while no methoxylation is observed with ≤1 molecule per Brønsted acidic site.  Read more in Chemical Science at https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2020/sc/d0sc01924k#!divAbstract

Mechanism of CO2 conversion to methanol over Cu(110) and Cu(100) surfaces

An article was published in Dalton Transactions authored by members of the UK Catalysis Hub including Michael Higham, Matt Quesne, and C. Richard A. Catlow. Plane-wave Density Functional Theory (DFT) techniques were applied to investigate the mechanism of CO2 conversion to methanol over two low-index copper surfaces, namely Cu(110) and Cu(100). The calculations investigated several different mechanistic pathways, considering both formate (HCOO*) and hydrocarboxyl (COOH*) intermediates, as well as CO2 dissociation. For both of the two Cu facets investigated, the formate intermediate was found to be the favoured intermediate, although with close competition with the hydrocarboxyl intermediate, whilst the subsequent hydrogenation of CO after CO2 dissociation has taken place was found to have higher activation barriers. For both Cu(110) and Cu(100), a distinct metastable activated CO2 species was identified, in contrast to the most stable Cu(111) facet for which no such species was found. The present work will serve as a valuable benchmark study for future investigations on the mechanism of CO2 conversion to methanol over model Cu/ZnO catalysts which are representative of real industrial catalysts.

Synergistic ultraviolet and visible light photo-activation enables intensified low-temperature methanol synthesis over copper/zinc oxide/alumina

Synergistic ultraviolet and visible light photo-activation enables intensified low-temperature methanol synthesis over copper/zinc oxide/alumina
An article was published in Nature Communications co-authored by members of the UK Catalysis Hub. A high-pressure hybrid photothermal catalytic system was employed in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, exhibiting 32% increase in methanol yield only under full spectrum (300-800 nm) irradiation. Irradiation of UV-rich (200-500 nm) light and visible (420-800 nm) light resulted in enhanced CO production. The synergistic nature of UV and visible light irradiation is attributed to the dual catalytic sites of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3, where Cu:ZnO perimeter interface is the main active site. The improved catalytic performance originated from the photoenhanced CO2 activation on ZnO surface under UV irradiation and H2 activation on Cu surface under visible light irradiation. The roles of ZnO and Cu are revealed by DRIFTS, XAS, XPS, and DFT, showing a more dynamic change in ZnO as well as stronger orbital overlapping in the valence band spectrum. The simultaneous irradiation of UV and visible light successfully decreases the reaction temperature by 50oC without sacrificing methanol yield and selectivity. The present work also provides a new perspective on catalyst design by manipulating the valence band electronic structure. This work was completed in collaboration with UNSW Sydney during the visit of Roong Jien Wong as Visiting Research Fellow, with direct contribution from Emma Gibson, June Callison, Michael Higham, Donato Decarolis, Prof Michael Bowker, and Prof Richard Catlow. The article was published in Nat Communications, 11, 1615 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-15445-z. Read more about the article.
