AbstractUnderstanding the nature of active sites is crucial in heterogeneous catalysis, and dynamic changes of catalyst structures during reaction turnover have brought into focus the dynamic nature of active sites. However, much less is known on how the structural dynamics couples with elementary reactions. Here we report an anomalous decrease in reaction free energies and barriers on dynamical sub-nanometer Au clusters. We calculate temperature dependence of free energies using ab initio molecular dynamics, and find significant entropic effects due to solid-to-liquid phase transitions of the Au clusters induced by adsorption of different states along the reaction coordinate. This finding demonstrates that catalyst dynamics can play an important role in catalyst activity.

Silica-supported copper catalysts were prepared by different methods, and Cu/SiO2 prepared by the urea-assisted gel method was modified with co-catalyst platinum to obtain Cu-Pt/SiO2 bimetallic catalysts. The prepared catalysts were characterized by nitrogen adsorption–desorption, XRD, TEM, hydrogen chemisorption, ammonia gas chemisorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The characterization results show that the modification of platinum is helpful to the reduction and dispersion of copper species, which increase the hydrogen uptake quantity and metal surface area. The 30%Cu–3.0%Pt/SiO2-6 presents the best catalytic performance in liquid-phase diethyl oxalate hydrogenation; it gives 77.32% conversion of diethyl oxalate and 94.37% selectivity to the main products under 473 K and 3.0 MPa for 4 h. A possible reaction route was also proposed.

The Ni-Mo-P amorphous catalysts were prepared by chemical reduction method under different sonication conditions. The catalytic performance of the prepared catalysts in selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene(NB) to aniline(AN) were characterized by XRD, BET, N2-adsorption, H2-TPR and H2-TPD. The results show that the introduction of ultrasonic can improve the dispersion of the active sites in the catalyst, the particle size of the catalyst is also smaller than the regular prepared Ni-Mo-P amorphous catalyst. And the influences of the sonication power and time on the catalysts were discussed and compared. The optimal sonication condition is 70 W within 25 min, its optimal reaction time is 150 min.
