Anhydrous Keggin-type phosphorus heteropolyacids were deposited on partially dehydroxylated silica by using the surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) strategy. The resulting solids were characterized by a combination of physicochemical methods including IR. Raman, ID and 2D H-1, and P-31 MAS NMR, electron microscopy experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It is shown that the main surface species is [ Si(OH center dot center dot center dot H-1)](2)[H+](1)[PM12O403 center dot center dot] where the polyoxometalate is linked to the support by proton interaction with two silanols. Two other minor species (10% each) are formed by coordination of the polyoxometalate to the surface via the interaction between all three protons with three silanol groups or via three covalent bonds formed by dehydroxylation of the above species. Comparison of the reactivity of these solids and of compounds prepared by a classical way shows that the samples prepared by the SOMC approach contain ca. 7 times more acid sites.

Atomic-Scale Mechanism of Platinum Catalyst Restructuring under a Pressure of Reactant Gas

Vaidish Sumaria, Luan Nguyen, Franklin Feng Tao, Philippe Sautet

Summary: It has been discovered that high CO coverage triggers the restructuring of Pt catalysts, forming atomic protrusions with low-coordination Pt atoms and sub-nano islands on the terraces. Machine-learning-accelerated first-principles atomistic simulations enable exploration of tens of thousands of configurations for CO-covered restructuring catalyst. These studies provide a new avenue for achieving atomic-scale understanding of the structural dynamics of more complex metal nanoparticle catalysts under reaction conditions.

Qiankun Hou, Kang Liu, Walid Al-Maksoud, Yuchang Huang, De Ding, Yongpeng Lei, Yi Zhang, Bin Lin, Lirong Zheng, Min Liu, Jean-Marie Basset, Yin Chen

Summary: Nonprecious-metal heterogeneous catalysts with atomically dispersed active sites have shown high activity and selectivity in various reactions, but their rational design and large-scale synthesis pose a significant challenge. Current approaches involve high temperatures and tedious procedures. In this study, a straightforward and scalable strategy was demonstrated for synthesizing atomically dispersed Ni electrocatalysts in a large quantity with high yield, using two simple steps under mild conditions. The resulting catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic performance in both oxygen evolution and reduction reactions, with tunable activity, high reproducibility, and stability. The strategy provides a practical and green method for the industrial manufacturing of nonprecious-metal single-site catalysts with predictable structures.

Restructuring and Activation of Cu(111) under Electrocatalytic Reduction Conditions

Dongfang Cheng, Ziyang Wei, Zisheng Zhang, Peter Broekmann, Anastassia N. Alexandrova, Philippe Sautet

Summary: The dynamic restructuring of Cu surfaces in electroreduction conditions was investigated using first-principles calculations and operando electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy experiments. The restructuring of Cu(111) in acidic electrolyte was found to be potential- and pH-dependent. The strong adsorption of H atoms on the surface induced the formation of Cu adatoms, creating highly active sites for the hydrogen evolution reaction.

Elucidation of the Active Site for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction on a Single Pt Atom Supported on Indium Tin Oxide

Simran Kumari, Philippe Sautet

Summary: In this study, the active site of a single Pt atom supported on indium tin oxide for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was theoretically investigated using density functional theory calculations and grand canonical basin hopping. It was found that the ligands on the Pt atom change from Pt-OH to PtO(OH)4 under electrochemical conditions, resulting in a decrease of 0.3 V for the OER overpotential. This highlights the importance of accurately identifying the nature of the active site under reaction conditions and the impact of adsorbates on the electrocatalytic activity. This theoretical investigation enhances our understanding of SACs for the OER.

Achieving Ultra-High Selectivity to Hydrogen Production from Formic Acid on Pd-Ag Alloys

Mustafa Karatok, Hio Tong Ngan, Xiwen Jia, Christopher R. O'Connor, J. Anibal Boscoboinik, Dario J. Stacchiola, Philippe Sautet, Robert J. Madix

Summary: Palladium-silver-based alloy catalysts have the potential for CO-free hydrogen production from formic acid. The selective decomposition of formic acid on Pd-Ag alloys was investigated, and it was found that surface Ag domains modified by interaction with subsurface Pd are the key active sites for selective decomposition. In contrast, surface Pd atoms are detrimental to selectivity. The decomposition pathways can be tailored for CO-free H2 production on Pd-Ag alloy systems.

Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution at Full Atomic Utilization over ITO-Supported Sub-nano-Ptn Clusters: High, Size-Dependent Activity Controlled by Fluxional Pt Hydride Species

Simran Kumari, Tsugunosuke Masubuchi, Henry S. White, Anastassia Alexandrova, Scott L. Anderson, Philippe Sautet

Summary: A combination of DFT and experiments was used to study the electrocatalytic activity of Ptn clusters on ITO electrodes. The activity was found to increase with increasing Ptn size and was negligible for isolated Pt atoms on ITO. The adsorption of H atoms on Ptn/ITO was found to be about double the Hupd observed for Pt bulk or nanoparticles. The study also revealed the importance of considering multiple metastable structures and their reactions to accurately predict the activity.

Electrochemical Oxidation of Methane to Methanol on Electrodeposited Transition Metal Oxides

Kangze Shen, Simran Kumari, Yu-Chao Huang, Joonbaek Jang, Philippe Sautet, Carlos G. Morales-Guio

Summary: Electrochemical partial oxidation of methane to methanol using transition metal (oxy)hydroxides as catalysts is investigated. CoOx, NiOx, MnOx, and CuOx are found to be active for this reaction. Systematic studies are carried out to evaluate the effect of catalyst film thickness, overpotential, temperature, and hydrodynamics on activity and methanol selectivity. It is shown that high-valence transition metal oxides are inherently active for methane activation and oxidation to methanol, and electrocatalytic oxidation enables thermodynamically favorable production of methanol.

Acetylene Semi-Hydrogenation on Intermetallic Ni-In Catalysts: Ni Ensemble and Acetylene Coverage Effects from a Theoretical Analysis

Zahra Almisbaa, Hassan A. Aljama, Khalid Almajnouni, Luigi Cavallo, Philippe Sautet

Summary: DFT-based reaction profiles and microkinetic simulations were used to investigate the selective hydrogenation of acetylene on Ni-based intermetallic catalysts. Among the tested catalysts, NiIn showed the highest ethylene yield, while NiIn and Ni2In3 exhibited reduced ethane formation and increased oligomerization compared to Ni and Ni3In. The findings emphasize the importance of considering oligomerization reactions and coverage effects when evaluating the selectivity of catalysts. Additionally, the presence of indium on the catalytic surface was found to decrease the rate of acetylene consumption, highlighting a trade-off between activity and selectivity.

Photoelectron Storage at the WO3/TiO2 Interface: Modeling in Ambient Conditions from First-Principles Calculations

Yichen Li, Dongfang Cheng, Ziyang Wei, Philippe Sautet

Summary: Using first-principles calculations, we found that monoclinic WO(3)(001) preferentially forms a reconstructed monolayer on anatase TiO2(001) surface. We studied the surface structure of WO3/TiO2 under ambient conditions, including gas-phase O-2/H2O or H-2/H2O at different pressures and temperatures, as well as aqueous solution at different pH and electrochemical potentials. Based on the surface structures at different potentials, we proposed the proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) reaction pathway during charging and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) pathways during discharging, which explain its reversible electron storage ability. With electronic structure analysis, we demonstrated the charge separation effect of WO3 on TiO2 and the electron storage effect of WO3.

Junjie Shi, Hio Tong Ngan, Philippe Sautet, Jason F. F. Weaver

Summary: Dilute Ti-Cu(111) alloys are highly selective for converting ethanol to ethylene. The presence of Ti ensembles on the Cu(111) surface promotes ethanol deoxygenation and enhances the production of gaseous C2H4 and H-2. The Ti ensemble size and the adsorbed O atom released during C-O cleavage significantly influence the reaction selectivity and stability.

Understanding the structure of isolated iridium sites anchored on a covalent triazine framework

Nina M. Sackers, Andree Iemhoff, Philippe Sautet, Regina Palkovits

Summary: Computational methods were used to investigate well-defined and characterized isolated Ir sites anchored on a covalent triazine framework (CTF) as a showcase for experimentally accessible single-site catalysts. The resting states of the catalyst species after immobilization and after reduction at 400 ? were identified, and they were found not to be the catalytically active species but rather pre-catalysts for the dehydrogenation of formic acid.
