I...The efficient synthesis of methanol and ethylene glycol via the chemoselective hydrogenation of ethylene carbonate(EC) is important for the sustainable utilization of CO_2 to produce commodity chemicals and fuels. In this work, a series of β-cyclodextrin-modified Cu/SiO_2 catalysts were prepared by ammonia evaporation method for the selective hydrogenation of EC to co-produce methanol and ethylene glycol. The structure and physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized in detail by N_2 physisorption, XRD, N_2O titration, H_2-TPR, TEM, and XPS/XAES. Compared with the unmodified 25 Cu/SiO_2 catalyst, the involvement of β-cyclodextrin in 5β-25 Cu/SiO_2 could remarkably increase the catalytic activity—excellent activity of 1178 mgEC g_(cat)^(–1) h^(–1) with 98.8%ethylene glycol selectivity, and 71.6% methanol selectivity could be achieved at 453 K. The remarkably improved recyclability was primarily attributed to the remaining proportion of Cu~+/(Cu^0+Cu~+). Furthermore, the DFT calculation results demonstrated that metallic Cu^0 dissociated adsorbed H_2, while Cu~+ activated the carbonyl group of EC and stabilized the intermediates. This study is a facile and efficient method to prepare highly dispersed Cu catalysts—this is also an effective and stable heterogeneous catalyst system for the sustainable synthesis of ethylene glycol and methanol via indirect chemical utilization of CO_2.展开更多

In order to understand the role of ZrO2 in these mixed-oxides based catalysts, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been carried out on the Cu and Zr K-edge. Under reaction conditions, Cu remains metallic, while Zr is present in three types of coordination environment associated with 1) bulk ZrO2, 2) coordinatively saturated and 3) unsaturated Zr(Ⅳ) surface sites. The amount of coordinatively unsaturated Zr surface sites can be quantified by linear combination fit of reference X-Ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra and its amount correlates with CH3OH formation rates, thus indicating the importance of Zr(Ⅳ) Lewis acid surface sites in driving the selectivity toward CH3OH. This finding is consistent with the proposed mechanism, where CO2 is hydrogenated at the interface between the Cu nanoparticles that split H2 and Zr(Ⅳ) surface sites that stabilizes reaction intermediates.展开更多

It was found that dimethyl oxalate and methyl glycolate proceeded via dissociative adsorption on Cu/SiO2 catalyst, and four main intermediates, CH3OC(O)(O)C-M (1655 cm-1), M-C(O)(O)C-M (1618 cm-1), HOCH2(O)C--M (1682 cm-1) and CH3O-M (2924-2926 cm-1), were identified during the reaction. It was concluded that dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation to ethylene glycol mainly proceeded along the route: dimethyl oxalate /rightarrow CH3OC(O)(O)C-M → methyl glycolate →HOCH2(O)C-M → ethylene glycol. Finally a schematic reaction network was proposed.展开更多

摘要Cu/ZrO2/SiO2 are efficient catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH. In order to understand the role of ZrO2 in these mixed-oxides based catalysts, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been carried out on the Cu and Zr K-edge. Under reaction conditions, Cu remains metallic, while Zr is present in three types of coordination environment associated with 1) bulk ZrO2, 2) coordinatively saturated and 3) unsaturated Zr(Ⅳ) surface sites. The amount of coordinatively unsaturated Zr surface sites can be quantified by linear combination fit of reference X-Ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra and its amount correlates with CH3OH formation rates, thus indicating the importance of Zr(Ⅳ) Lewis acid surface sites in driving the selectivity toward CH3OH. This finding is consistent with the proposed mechanism, where CO2 is hydrogenated at the interface between the Cu nanoparticles that split H2 and Zr(Ⅳ) surface sites that stabilizes reaction intermediates.
