Heterogeneous Catalysis

117
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...

Area of Science:

  • Heterogeneous catalysis
  • Materials science
  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Single-atom catalysts (SACs) and single-cluster catalysts (SCCs) represent advanced materials in heterogeneous catalysis.
  • These catalysts offer superior activity, selectivity, stability, and atomic efficiency.
  • Current limitations in producing high-loading and high-purity SACs/SCCs hinder industrial adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a general and efficient strategy for producing high-loading and high-purity SACs and SCCs.
  • To enable the industrial application of SACs and SCCs through improved production methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing an electrochemical potential window (EcPW) for catalyst purification.
  • Predicting and applying an EcPW to selectively leach metal aggregates from substrates.
  • Demonstrating the strategy through computational modeling.

Main Results:

  • Successful modeling of Pt, Pd, and Ni SACs on N-doped graphene and Fe2O3.
  • Successful modeling of Pt3 and Ni3 SCCs on graphdiyne.
  • Validation of the EcPW strategy for producing high-purity SACs and SCCs.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed electrochemical strategy is effective for producing high-purity SACs and SCCs.
  • This method overcomes current limitations in SAC/SCC production, paving the way for industrial use.
  • The approach is general and applicable to various metal-SAC/SCC and substrate combinations.
