Heterogeneous catalysis: understanding the fundamentals for catalyst design

[EN] Taking the chemoselective hydrogenation of substituted nitroaromatics as a base case, it will be shown that it is possible to design improved and new catalysts by attacking the problem in a multidisciplinary way. By combining molecular modeling with in situ operando spectroscopy, and with micro-kinetic and isotopic studies, it is possible to determine how and where on the catalysts the reactant molecules interact. Then, materials synthesis methods can be applied to prepare catalysts with the desired surface active sites and their selective interaction with the reactants.This work was funded by the Spanish Government (Severo Ochoa program SEV2012-0267).

Isolated metal atoms and clusters for alkane activation: translating knowledge from enzymatic and homogeneous to heterogeneous systems

[EN] Activation of alkanes can be achieved with different types of catalysts, spanning over enzymes, homogeneous and heterogeneous metal catalysts. Though a tremendous amount of knowledge has been accumulated in the literature, the connections between different types of catalysts are rarely discussed due to the differences among the three catalysis fields in terms of catalyst structures, reaction conditions, and catalytic performances. There are also similarities among the various systems in terms of the structural features of the active sites and reaction mechanisms. In this review, we attempt to show the interconnections among the three catalysis fields regarding the nature of active sites and reaction mechanism for metal-catalyzed alkane activation reactions. We will show the lessons obtained from well-defined enzymatic and molecular catalysts developed in bio- and homogeneous catalysis, and how these can be translated into fundamental understanding and further developments of heterogeneous metal catalysts, for practical applications related to alkane activation.We are grateful for the financial supports from the Spanish Government through the "Severo Ochoa Program'' (SEV-2016-SEV-0683).Liu, L.; Corma Canós, A.

Advanced zeolite and ordered mesoporous silica-based catalysts for the conversion of CO2 to chemicals and fuels

[EN] For many years, capturing, storing or sequestering CO2 from concentrated emission sources or from air has been a powerful technique for reducing atmospheric CO2. Moreover, the use of CO2 as a C1 building block to mitigate CO2 emissions and, at the same time, produce sustainable chemicals or fuels is a challenging and promising alternative to meet global demand for chemicals and energy. Hence, the chemical incorporation and conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals has received much attention in the last decade, since CO2 is an abundant, inexpensive, nontoxic, nonflammable, and renewable one-carbon building block. Nevertheless, CO2 is the most oxidized form of carbon, thermodynamically the most stable form and kinetically inert. Consequently, the chemical conversion of CO2 requires highly reactive, rich-energy substrates, highly stable products to be formed or harder reaction conditions. The use of catalysts constitutes an important tool in the development of sustainable chemistry, since catalysts increase the rate of the reaction without modifying the overall standard Gibbs energy in the reaction. Therefore, special attention has been paid to catalysis, and in particular to heterogeneous catalysis because of its environmentally friendly and recyclable nature attributed to simple separation and recovery, as well as its applicability to continuous reactor operations. Focusing on heterogeneous catalysts, we decided to center on zeolite and ordered mesoporous materials due to their high thermal and chemical stability and versatility, which make them good candidates for the design and development of catalysts for CO2 conversion. In the present review, we analyze the state of the art in the last 25 years and the potential opportunities for using zeolite and OMS (ordered mesoporous silica) based materials to convert CO2 into valuable chemicals essential for our daily lives and fuels, and to pave the way towards reducing carbon footprint. In this review, we have compiled, to the best of our knowledge, the different reactions involving catalysts based on zeolites and OMS to convert CO2 into cyclic and dialkyl carbonates, acyclic carbamates, 2-oxazolidones, carboxylic acids, methanol, dimethylether, methane, higher alcohols (C2+OH), C2+ (gasoline, olefins and aromatics), syngas (RWGS, dry reforming of methane and alcohols), olefins (oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes) and simple fuels by photoreduction. The use of advanced zeolite and OMS-based materials, and the development of new processes and technologies should provide a new impulse to boost the conversion of CO2 into chemicals and fuels.Velty, A.; Corma Canós, A.

Heterogeneous Catalysis: Understanding for Designing, and Designing for Applications

Despite the introduction of high-throughput and combinatorial methods that certainly can be useful in the process of catalysts optimization, it is recognized that the generation of fundamental knowledge at the molecular level is key for the development of new concepts and for reaching the final objective of solid catalysts by design …Corma Canós, A.

Confining isolated atoms and clusters in crystalline porous materials for catalysis

[EN] Structure-reactivity relationships for nanoparticle-based catalysts have been greatly influenced by the study of catalytic materials with either supported isolated metal atoms or metal clusters comprising a few atoms. The stability of these metal species is a key challenge because they can sinter into large nanoparticles under harsh reaction conditions. However, stability can be achieved by confining the nanoparticles in crystalline porous materials (such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks). More importantly, the interaction between the metal species and the porous framework may modulate the geometric and electronic structures of the subnanometric metal species, especially for metal clusters. This confinement effect can induce shape-selective catalysis or different chemoselectivity from that of metal atoms supported on open-structure solid carriers. In this Review, we discuss the structural features, synthesis methodologies, characterization techniques and catalytic applications of subnanometric species confined in zeolites and metal-organic frameworks. We make a critical comparison between confined and non-confined isolated atoms and metal clusters, and provide future perspectives for the field.We are grateful for financial support from the European Research Council (grant ERC-AdG-2014-671093, SynCatMatch) and the Spanish Government through the Severo Ochoa Program (SEV-2016-0683).Liu, L.; Corma Canós, A.

Direct Conversion of Cellulose into Alkyl Glycoside Surfactants

[EN] The one-step production of biodegradable alkyl glycoside (1-dodecyl mono- and oligoglucoside) surfactants from cellulose has been achieved by direct alcoholysis in fatty alcohol media under BrOnsted acid catalysis at near-ambient pressure. The fatty alcohol serves as both solvent and reagent. Addition of small amounts of water prevents dehydration events and thus minimises product and solvent degradation. Furthermore, high initial cellulose loadings and short thermal cycles enable moderate-to-high conversions and selectivities (up to approximate to 70%), and low solvent-to-product ratios.Financial support from the Spanish Government-MINECO through "Severo Ochoa" (SEV 2012-0267) is acknowledged.

Direct synthesis of a titanosilicate molecular sieve containing large and medium pores in its structure

[EN] The direct synthesis of the titanosilicate form of ITQ-39 is reported. This is the first description of the direct preparation of a titanosilicate molecular sieve containing large and medium pores in the same structure. The characterization clearly indicates the presence of Ti atoms in tetrahedral coordination in the framework of ITQ-39 zeolite. This material is very active in the oxidation of lineal and cyclic olefins with H2O2, showing selectivities between TS-1 and Ti-Beta. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Advances in the synthesis of titanosilicates: From the medium pore TS-1 zeolite to highly-accessible ordered materials

[EN] In the present review, we would like to cover the most fundamental advances achieved in the design of ordered titanosilicates since the earlier discovery of TS-1 reported by EniChem in the mid-eighties. The invention of the medium-pore TS-1 zeolite was a breakthrough, and this material has been applied as efficient catalyst in diverse industrial applications. However, its limited pore size (5 5.5 Å) offers diffusion limitations when working with large molecules. The design and preparation of open titanosilicates, such as large pore molecular sieves, mesoporous ordered materials, or layered-type zeolites will be described. The applicability of these titanosilicates to catalytic oxidation processes requiring bulky organic molecules will also be presented.This work has been supported by the Spanish GovernmentMINECO (MAT2012-37160), Consolider Ingenio 2010-Multicat, and UPV through PAID-06-11 (n.1952).

What Is Measured When Measuring Acidity in Zeolites with Probe Molecules?

[EN] Based on theoretical calculations of CO, NH3, and pyridine adsorption at different sites in MOR and MFI zeolites, we analyze how confinement effects influence the measurement of acidity based on the interaction of probe molecules with Brönsted acid sites. Weak bases, such as CO, form neutral ZH¿CO adducts with a linear configuration that can be distorted by spatial restrictions associated with the dimensions of the pore, leading to weaker interaction, but can also be stabilized by dispersion forces if a tighter fitting with the channel void is allowed. Strong bases such as NH3 and pyridine are readily protonated on Brönsted acid sites, and the experimentally determined adsorption enthalpies include not only the thermochemistry associated with the proton transfer process itself, but also the stabilization of the Z¿¿BH+ ion pair formed upon protonation by multiple interactions with the surrounding framework oxygen atoms, leading in some cases to a heterogeneity of acidities within the same zeolite structure.This work was supported by the European Union through No. ERC-AdG-2014-671093 (SynCatMatch), and by the Spanish Government-MINECO through "Severo Ochoa" (No. SEV-2016-0683) and No. MAT2017-82288-C2-1-P projects.
