Size-Specific Chemistry of Ag Nanostructures in Catalytic Ethylene Epoxidation
The low selectivity of heterogeneous catalysts has been one of the critical obstacles to the wider use of heterogeneous processes in the commercial production of high value chemicals. The limited selectivity is related to a number of issues, including the lack of predictive theories that guide the discovery of the optimal catalytic site, the dearth of strategies to synthesize the targeted sites...
متن کاملThe Effect of Ag Particle Shape and Surface Structure on Ethylene Epoxidation Selectivity
Introduction Approaching 100% selectivity in heterogeneous catalytic reactions is an ultimate objective of catalyst discovery and is critical for the design of efficient, environmentally friendly processes. This work focuses on an example where shape controlled synthesis of silver nano-particles has been utilized along with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations to design heterogeneous si...
متن کاملAg-Cu catalysts for ethylene epoxidation: selectivity and activity descriptors.
Ag-Cu alloy catalysts for ethylene epoxidation have been shown to yield higher selectivity towards ethylene oxide compared to pure Ag, the unique catalyst employed in the industrial process. Previous studies showed that under oxidizing conditions Cu forms oxide layers on top of Ag. Using first-principles atomistic simulations based on density functional theory, we investigate the reaction mecha...
متن کاملAlloy catalyst in a reactive environment: the example of ag-cu particles for ethylene epoxidation.
Combining first-principles calculations and in situ photoelectron spectroscopy, we show how the composition and structure of the surface of an alloy catalyst is affected by the temperature and pressure of the reagents. The Ag-Cu alloy, recently proposed as an improved catalyst for ethylene epoxidation, forms a thin Cu-O surface oxide, while a Ag-Cu surface alloy is found not to be stable. Sever...
متن کاملCatalytic Epoxidation of Limonene
The epoxidation of limonene with hidrogen peroxide was studied over zeolite Tibeta (a large pore material) and heteropoly acids on carbono and alumina supported. PW11/C was catalyst the best tested. Introduction In the last years, the increase in environmental restrictions lead to the search for new oxydant systems to replace the traditionals in order to avoid the generation of polluting efflue...
