Heterogeneous Catalysis

134
Heterogeneous catalysis involves a catalyst in a different phase from the reactants. It is a process where the catalyst and the reactants are in distinct phases, typically solid and gas or liquid.Most heterogeneous catalysts are metals, metal oxides, or acids. The list includes transition metals like iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), tungsten (W), silver (Ag), and copper (Cu). These metals possess partially vacant d orbitals that...

  • Synthesis of palladium-cobalt (Pd@Co) core-shell nanoparticles within MIL-101 MOF.
  • Characterization of nanoparticle size (∼2.5 nm) and confinement within MOF pores.
  • Evaluation of catalytic performance in ammonia borane (NH3 BH3) hydrolytic dehydrogenation.

Main Results:

  • Successfully prepared ∼2.5 nm Pd@Co core-shell nanoparticles confined within MIL-101 MOF.
  • Achieved synergistic and superior catalytic performance compared to monometallic, alloy, and surface-supported counterparts.
  • Demonstrated enhanced activity under mild reaction conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The MOF-confined Pd@Co core-shell nanoparticles exhibit significantly improved catalytic activity.
