Benzyl trichloroacetimidates as derivatizing agents for phosphonic acids related to nerve agents by EI-GC-MS during OPCW proficiency test scenarios

Abstract The use of benzyl trichloroacetimidates for the benzylation of phosphonic acid nerve agent markers under neutral, basic, and slightly acidic conditions is presented. The benzyl-derived phosphonic acids were detected and analyzed by Electron Ionization Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (EI-GC–MS). The phosphonic acids used in this work included ethyl-, cyclohexyl- and pinacolyl methylphosphonic acid, first pass hydrolysis products from the nerve agents ethyl N -2-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothiolate (VX), cyclosarin (GF) and soman (GD) respectively. Optimization of reaction parameters for the benzylation included reaction time and solvent, temperature and the effect of the absence or presence of catalytic acid. The optimized conditions for the derivatization of the phosphonic acids specifically for their benzylation, included neutral as well as catalytic acid (< 5 mol%) and benzyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate in excess coupled to heating the mixture to 60 °C in acetonitrile for 4 h. While the neutral conditions for the method proved to be efficient for the preparation of the p -methoxybenzyl esters of the phosphonic acids, the acid-catalyzed process appeared to provide much lower yields of the products relative to its benzyl counterpart. The method’s efficiency was tested in the successful derivatization and identification of pinacolyl methylphosphonic acid (PMPA) as its benzyl ester when present at a concentration of ~ 5 μg/g in a soil matrix featured in the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) 44th proficiency test (PT). Additionally, the protocol was used in the detection and identification of PMPA when spiked at ~ 10 μg/mL concentration in a fatty acid-rich liquid matrix featured during the 38 th OPCW-PT. The benzyl derivative of PMPA was partially corroborated with the instrument's internal NIST spectral library and the OPCW central analytical database (OCAD v.21_2019) but unambiguously identified through comparison with a synthesized authentic standard. The method’s MDL (LOD) values for the benzyl and the p -methoxybenzyl pinacolyl methylphosphonic acids were determined to be 35 and 63 ng/mL respectively, while the method’s Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) was determined to be 104 and 189 ng/mL respectively in the OPCW-PT soil matrix evaluated.

Computationally aided, entropy-driven synthesis of highly efficient and durable multi-elemental alloy catalysts

Multi-elemental alloy nanoparticles (MEA-NPs) hold great promise for catalyst discovery in a virtually unlimited compositional space. However, rational and controllable synthesize of these intrinsically complex structures remains a challenge. Here, we report the computationally aided, entropy-driven design and synthesis of highly efficient and durable catalyst MEA-NPs. The computational strategy includes prescreening of millions of compositions, prediction of alloy formation by density functional theory calculations, and examination of structural stability by a hybrid Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics method. Selected compositions can be efficiently and rapidly synthesized at high temperature (e.g., 1500 K, 0.5 s) with excellent thermal stability. We applied these MEA-NPs for catalytic NH 3 decomposition and observed outstanding performance due to the synergistic effect of multi-elemental mixing, their small size, and the alloy phase. We anticipate that the computationally aided rational design and rapid synthesis of MEA-NPs are broadly applicable for various catalytic reactions and will accelerate material discovery.

Self-regenerative noble metal catalysts supported on high-entropy oxides

Discovery of anti-sintering noble metal catalysts is challenging, as supported noble metal species tend to aggregate at high temperatures, leading to severely deteriorated catalytic performances. Here we show that 1 wt% of noble metal species including Au, Pd and Ru can be incorporated into high-entropy oxides (HEOs) through entropy stabilization at 900 °C in air. A reversible temperature-dependent dissolution–exsolution process is observed for Au-HEO. Further correlation with distinct CO oxidation capabilities demonstrates the potential to utilize the entropy effect to access self-regenerative catalysts for catalytic reactions.

Influence of thermal treatment on structure and catalytic performance of ceria-zirconia supported copper oxide (CuO x /Ce y Zr 1-y O 2 ) catalysts for CO oxidation

Copper oxide (CuO x ) supported on ceria-zirconia (Ce y Zr 1-y O 2 , y = 1.0, 0.5, 0.0) catalysts were investigated to elucidate the effects of thermal treatment on their physicochemical properties and catalytic performance in carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. Here, the catalysts were synthesized via a one-pot chemical vapor deposition (OP-CVD) method at 700˚C and 900˚C with controlled Cu loading. Characterization techniques, including synchrotron X-ray diffraction (S-XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP), and N 2 adsorption-desorption, were implemented to probe the crystalline structure, molecular and electronic structure, oxygen vacancies, specific surface area (SSA) and metal loading. CO oxidation was chosen as a model reaction to explore the structure-catalytic performance relationship. A ∼100% CO conversion was achieved at < 150˚C, particularly with the CuO x /CeO 2 catalyst calcined at 700˚C. In contrast, calcination at 900˚C caused a ∼90% decrease in SSA and a ∼24% increase in T 50 . Activity tests revealed that increasing ZrO 2 content lowered CO oxidation activity despite generating more defect sites. In-situ measurement of the 700 °C calcined samples revealed the presence of stable and unstable defects in CuO x /Ce 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 and CeO 2 respectively, which play a key role in the activity of the catalysts. The results highlight that catalytic performance is closely related to the SSA. Furthermore, an optimum calcination temperature favor significant oxygen vacancy formation with required CuO x -support interactions, enhancing redox properties and catalytic performance.

Supported and coordinated single metal site electrocatalysts

The ever-increasing global environmental and energy crisis issues necessitates technological innovation, especially in the development of renewable energy-related devices, such as electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies, including fuel cells, water electrolyzers, and CO 2 electrolyzers. Reliable and sustainable energy conversion devices are highly dependent on engineering of electrocatalysts. Furthermore, state-of-the-art electrocatalysts for these electrochemical conversion systems are usually platinum group metal (PGM)-based nanoparticles with high cost, which has sparked intensive research on atomically dispersed single metal site electrocatalysts for decreasing metal loadings and boosting catalytic efficiencies by taking advantage of their inherent electronic effects, quantum size effects, and metal-support interactions. In this review, we first introduced the intrinsic active site identification and stabilization, followed by addressing the mutual metal-support interactions, and most important, their correlations with catalytic properties. Next, the advances in synthetic strategies and characterization techniques for single metal site electrocatalysts are highlighted. Additionally, recent advances in single metal site electrocatalysts designs for applications in electrochemical conversion reactions are also presented. Finally, remaining challenges and a forward-looking perspective on this field of research are provided.

Single‐Site, Single‐Metal‐Atom, Heterogeneous Electrocatalyst: Metal–Organic‐Framework Supported Molybdenum Sulfide for Redox Mediator‐Assisted Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Abstract Synthesis of single‐site catalysts, whereby the local structure and surrounding chemical environments are identical, has been challenging, particularly in heterogeneous catalysis, as the support often presents spectrum of chemically distinct binding sites. Yet, the above criteria are crucial in attributing the apparent catalytic performance to the structural motif. The presented work augments on our previous work using monometallic molybdenum sulfide tethered within a zirconium‐based metal‐organic framework (MOF), NU‐1000; the monometallic nature enables all presented sites to be catalytically addressable. As the molybdenum sulfide species resided within two distinct pores (micro‐ and mesopores) of the MOF support, we have imparted uniformity in the local chemical environment by reducing the pore heterogeneity down to a single mesopore. Single‐site and single‐atom nature of the candidate catalyst was established via X‐ray diffraction measurements. Redox mediators were implemented, which, under reductive potentials, provide reduced species; they can effectively deliver the necessary reducing equivalences to the catalytic units that can otherwise not be addressed electrochemically due to the low electron mobility within the framework. Our results indicate the micropore‐allocated molybdenum sulfide is approximately four times more active as that in mesopores, whereas its catalytic mechanism is identical, underscoring the importance of controlling chemical environment beyond the active site.

Highly selective hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone over a Pd-loaded N-doped carbon catalyst derived from chitosan

A highly stable Pd-loaded N-doped carbon catalyst (ACN pd ) for phenol hydrogenation was prepared from chitosan by hydrothermal carbonization. ACN pd does not require a reduction step before catalytic use due to the Pd in the as-prepared catalyst mainly exists in the form of Pd 0 (80%). The carbon support involves N-containing groups such as pyridinic nitrogen and pyrrolic nitrogen, which could provide basic sites to adsorb phenol effectively. The as-fabricated ACN pd shows high catalytic performance with turnover frequency (TOF) of 29.34 h -1 . Accordingly, a phenol conversion of 100% and a cyclohexanone selectivity of 99.1% are achieved in 5 h at 100 °C and 1 MPa H 2 . This outstanding performance is attributed to the synergetic effects of the Pd particles, the N-functional groups, and the Lewis acid sites on the support. The carbon support presents intrinsic Lewis acid sites due to its electrophilicity, and Pd doping further increases the strength of such acid sites as it causes electron-deficient structural features. Moreover, the Lewis acid sites inhibit the over-hydrogenation from cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol. This study provides new insights into the application of functional biomass-based carbon materials as catalyst supports.

Mechanism by which Tungsten Oxide Promotes the Activity of Supported V 2 O 5 /TiO 2 Catalysts for NO X Abatement: Structural Effects Revealed by 51 V MAS NMR Spectroscopy

Abstract The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x with NH 3 to N 2 with supported V 2 O 5 (‐WO 3 )/TiO 2 catalysts is an industrial technology used to mitigate toxic emissions. Long‐standing uncertainties in the molecular structures of surface vanadia are clarified, whereby progressive addition of vanadia to TiO 2 forms oligomeric vanadia structures and reveals a proportional relationship of SCR reaction rate to [surface VO x concentration] 2 , implying a 2‐site mechanism. Unreactive surface tungsta (WO 3 ) also promote the formation of oligomeric vanadia (V 2 O 5 ) sites, showing that promoter incorporation enhances the SCR reaction by a structural effect generating adjacent surface sites and not from electronic effects as previously proposed. The findings outline a method to assess structural effects of promoter incorporation on catalysts and reveal both the dual‐site requirement for the SCR reaction and the important structural promotional effect that tungsten oxide offers for the SCR reaction by V 2 O 5 /TiO 2 catalysts.

Methane Catalytic Pyrolysis by Microwave and Thermal Heating over Carbon Nanotube-Supported Catalysts: Productivity, Kinetics, and Energy Efficiency

Methane catalytic pyrolysis, which is the reaction to produce hydrogen and carbon without emitting CO 2 , represents an approach for decarbonization using natural gas as an energy resource. In this work, the endothermic pyrolysis reaction was carried out under two heating scenarios: convective thermal heating and microwave-driven irradiative heating. The pyrolysis reaction was conducted at 550-600 °C over carbon nanotube-supported Ni-Pd and Ni-Cu catalysts. On both catalysts, an enhanced methane conversion rate was observed under microwave irradiation. The enhanced catalytic activity was hypothetically caused by the presence of free electrons in the carbon atoms within CNT that enabled the CNT support to absorb microwave energy effectively and to be heated efficiently by microwave. The microwave catalytic pyrolysis has shown improvement in kinetics, where the apparent activation energy dropped from 45.5 kJ/mol under conventional convective heating to 24.8 kJ/mol under microwave irradiation. When the methane conversion rate is increased by 37 %, the microwave power consumption only changed by 10.8 %. The research demonstrated the potential of transforming natural gas to clean hydrogen and value-added carbon in a more energy-efficient way. Process simulation and techno-economic analysis showed that potentially hydrogen minimum selling price of about $1 /kg H 2 could be achieved.

High-Performance Catalytic Four-Channel Hollow Fibers with Highly Dispersed Nickel Nanoparticles Prepared by Atomic Layer Deposition for Dry Reforming of Methane

In this study, highly dispersed nickel (Ni) nanoparticles (NPs) with an average particle size of 4.3 nm were uniformly deposited on the outer surface, the inner channel surface, and inside the pores of 20-cm long 4-channel α-Al 2 O 3 hollow fibers (HFs) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) for dry reforming of methane (DRM). Cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) was added to promote the catalytic performance of Ni/Al 2 O 3 -HF catalysts. Rationally designed filling methods, by tuning the reactor size and inert fillings, can reduce the catalyst bed voidage in a fixed bed reactor for better reactant gas distribution, effectively utilize the Ni reactive sites, and achieve excellent catalytic performance. It was found that the CeO 2 -promoted Ni/Al 2 O 3 -HF catalyst was highly active and highly stable without deactivation during an overall 400-hr DRM test at 850 ºC. CeO 2 with reversible valence states could participate in surface reactions; especially, the formation of CeAlO 3 provided sufficient surface Ce 3+ for CO 2 activation and enhanced the stability and reusability of the HF catalysts.

Reductive catalytic fractionation of cotton stalks: catalytic strategy for tuning the selectivity of phenolic monomers

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is a primary step to delink lignin from the lignin-carbohydrate complex for bioethanol production and other value-added products. Presently, these processes yield lignin (technical) with significant structural changes compared to native lignin and make it difficult to valorize. Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) is an advanced pretreatment process to valorize native lignin to selective phenolic monomers before capitalizing on carbohydrates. Herein, cotton stalks (CS) were pretreated with ethanol: water mixture catalyzed by bimetallic, Ru-Ni/HY (RNY) and Ru-Fe/HY (RFY), and trimetallic, Ru-Fe-Ni/HY (RFNY), catalysts using the endogenously produced H 2 . The favorable catalytic properties of the RFNY catalyst, including high reducibility, acidity, metal dispersion, the synergistic effect of all the metals, and appropriate pore and particle size resulted in the highest catalytic activity. Maximum 92% delignification efficiency was achieved with 91% holocellulose retention. The extracted lignin after depolymerization in the same step produced a 19 wt.% yield of phenolic monomers. Increasing the duration of the reaction from 2 to 6 h increased the selectivity to saturated alkyl chain phenolics (1 to 16 wt.%) at the expense of hemicellulose (50 to 9%). The fate of carbohydrates left behind after the RCF (CS-RCF) process was analyzed through enzymatic saccharification and compared with raw CS and acid-pretreated CS. In conclusion, CS-RCF yielded maximum glucose yield (45 g/L) within an incubation period of 72 h.

Energetic Tug-of-War between Pt and Leaky TiO 2 : Positive and Negative Effects on the Function of Molecularly-Modified p -Si(111)|TiO 2 |Pt Photocathodes

Photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion to chemical products is a promising avenue towards renewable fuels, and TiO 2 deposition on semiconductor photocathodes is a widespread surface protection strategy. However, the electronic, thermodynamic, and kinetic effects of protection layers on interfacial energetics remains poorly understood. Here, electrochemical data (photocurrent onset and flatband potentials) of p-Si(111)|TiO 2 |Pt is collected in contact with an outer-sphere redox couple. We find that onset potentials shift negatively as a function of increasing oxide thickness, but this effect is not reflected in the flatband potentials. This reveals the mechanism of these shifts is kinetic rather than thermodynamic,and suggests that hole leakage through the TiO 2 is responsible. When Pt nanoparticles are deposited onto the TiO 2 , positive shifts in both the onset and flatband potentials are observed, revealing Pt catalysts are beneficial for more than just increased catalytic rates. These results highlight the importance of understanding the effects of surface modifications on the energetics at the interface in both catalytic and simple electron transfer systems.

Machine Learning‐Guided Discovery of High‐Entropy Perovskite Oxide Electrocatalysts via Oxygen Vacancy Engineering

Abstract High‐entropy perovskite oxides (HEPOs) have recently emerged as multifunctional catalysts. However, the HEPOs’ structural and compositional complexity hinders the easy and accurate extrapolation of activity indicators, which are essential for establishing structure‐property correlations. Here, OxiGraphX, is introduced as a novel graph neural network (GNN) model designed to capture the complex relationships among structure, composition, and atomic chemical environments for accurate prediction of oxygen vacancy formation energies (OVFEs) in HEPOs. By integrating machine learning (ML), density functional theory (DFT), and experimental validation, this work demonstrates an efficient framework for rapidly and accurately screening HEPO electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The OxiGraphX predicts OVFEs with a precision exceeding existing data, enabling the identification of compositions of higher oxygen vacancy content (OVC) and, thus, higher catalytic activity. Furthermore, the model explores latent spaces that translate effectively into experimental domains, bridging computational predictions with real‐world applications. This approach accelerates the discovery of high‐performance HEPO catalysts while providing deeper insights into their catalytic mechanisms.

(Birla Carbon) to leverage NETL's patented catalyst work on methane decomposition to commercialize an efficient and a cost-effective process for production of hydrogen and valuable carbon from natural gas. This catalytic methane decomposition is a promising technology, however, finding an appropriate catalyst to perform all the functions has been a challenge. NETL has developed a suitable catalyst for the process which has shown promising results. The heat required for this endothermic catalytic decomposition process is provided by combustion of a portion of the hydrogen. This process is cost effective, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly with minimal CO 2 mitigation costs. The objectives of the project include evaluation of the effect of feed gas composition on the performance, reduction of the catalyst production cost, and conduction of an in-depth large-scale cost analysis for a process suitable for applications at Birla Carbon.

The role of size and structure of catalytic active sites in polyolefin hydrogenolysis

The increasing amount of plastic waste poses serious environmental problems that threaten both ecosystems and human well-being. Hydrogenolysis has been widely studied as an effective approach for converting polyolefins into high-value liquids and waxy fuels. Their multifaceted reaction mechanism, including dehydrogenation, C–C bond cleavage, and hydrogenation, highlights the need for sophisticated catalyst design. The suppression of methane production, a persistent challenge in polyolefin hydrogenolysis, requires precise control of the cleavage site and inhibition of successive C–C bond cleavage. This delicate balance is achieved by carefully tuning the size and structure of metals. In this review, we investigate the effects of the size and structure of active sites on their catalytic activity and selectivity for the hydrogenolysis of polyolefins, including polyethylene and polypropylene. In conclusion, a fundamental understanding of hydrogenolysis mechanisms, combined with strategic synthetic methodologies, is crucial for creating efficient catalysts with tailored properties.

Design Strategies Based on Electronic Interactions for Effective Catalysts in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Abstract Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) are considered promising next‐generation batteries due to their high energy density (>500 W h kg −1 ). However, LSBs exhibit an unsatisfactory energy density (<400 W h kg −1 ) and cycle life (<300 cycles) because of the shuttle effect caused by soluble lithium polysulfide (LiPS) intermediates and the sluggish conversion reaction kinetics caused by insulating sulfur (S 8 ) and lithium sulfide (Li 2 S). Although various types of catalysts, including metal‐based compounds to single‐atom catalysts, have been reported to address these issues, most catalysts exhibited limited catalytic activity under practical lean electrolyte conditions (<5 µL mg −1 ). A comprehensive understanding of the synthetic strategy and catalytic mechanism of catalysts is essential for their design, but understanding the electronic effects of the catalysts and LiPS is more important. Furthermore, the electronic design of these catalysts is not well understood. In this review, we introduce the catalytic mechanisms in LSBs and discuss catalyst design strategies in terms of electronic effects on the interactions between reactants and catalysts, with a primary focus on heterogeneous catalytic systems. We additionally consider how the electronic property of homogeneous systems, particularly redox mediators, affects catalytic behavior under lean electrolyte conditions and propose future research directions for catalyst development in LSBs.

Regulating Electronic Structure of Single-Atom Catalysts toward Efficient Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalysis

We report electronic structure of single-atom catalysts (SACs) is critical for bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis by adjusting the binding energy in oxygen-containing intermediates. However, the regulation of electronic structure has always been a challenge to improve catalytic reactivity. Herein, by introducing a heterogenous metal, the electronic structure through a direct bonding interaction to the active center atom is effectively adjusted. Partial charge transfer between the two atoms optimizes the binding energy of intermediates and reducing the energy barrier of the catalytic reaction. Theoretical calculations confirm these effects and the uniform distribution of 3d orbitals, leading to the improvement of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic reactivity. Benefiting from these attributes, the as-constructed bifunctional catalyst enables outstanding electrocatalytic performances in both oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation in various energy storage systems. The generality and expandability of this strategy is demonstrated by further successful development of other dual-metal catalysts systems with various active metals.

Model quantification of the effect of coproducts and refinery co-hydrotreating on the economics and greenhouse gas emissions of a conceptual biomass catalytic fast pyrolysis process

Here we present model results for a scaled-up conceptual process informed by bench scale biomass catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) and hydrotreating experimental data. This process uses a Pt/TiO 2 catalyst during CFP, which produces a partially deoxygenated organic biocrude intermediate that is then hydroprocessed to a hydrocarbon fuel blendstock; the catalyst also enables high yields of acetone and methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK) coproducts. Two options for hydroprocessing were modeled: (A) co-hydrotreating at a petroleum refinery using hydrogen sourced from steam reforming of natural gas and (B) standalone hydrotreating at a biorefinery using hydrogen sourced from CFP off gases. The results revealed that Case A was economically advantageous with a modeled minimum fuel selling price (MFSP) of $\$$2.83/GGE or gallon gasoline equivalent (in 2016 US dollars), while the additional cost of standalone hydrotreating facilities in Case B increased the MFSP to $3.13/GGE. Conversely, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were lower for Case B (3.9 g CO 2 e/MJ) compared to Case A (21.5 g CO 2 e/MJ) due to the use of biogenic (Case B) and fossil-derived (Case A) hydrogen. In a third option (Case C), the requirements for separation and purification of acetone and MEK were removed from the refinery co-processing scenario (Case A) to evaluate the impacts of this process simplification. Elimination of these coproducts increased the MFSP to $3.21/GGE and GHG emissions to 35 g CO 2 e/MJ. These comparisons based on our detailed conceptual models provide economic and sustainability guidance regarding processing choices for future biorefineries. While refinery coprocessing using existing equipment and the production of relatively valuable coproducts can benefit the economics, the hydrogen-source and biogenic coproducts can have significant impacts on the sustainability of the process, and feasibility to use CFP off-gases or other renewable sources for hydrogen production can help lower GHG emissions.
