Abstract

We studied the direct conversion of CO2 to HCOOH through hydrogenation reaction without the presence of base additives on the transition metal-doped subnanometer palladium (Pd7) cluster (PdxM: M = Cu, Ni, Rh) by using a combination of density functional theory and microkinetic calculations. It was shown that the CO2 hydrogenation on Pd7 and Pd6M clusters are more selective towards the formate pathway to produce HCOOH than the reverse water gas shift pathway to produce CO. Inclusion of Ni and Rh doping in the subnanometer Pd7 cluster could successfully enhance the turnover frequency (TOF) for CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid at low temperature. The order of TOF for formic acid formation is as follows: Pd6Ni > Pd6Rh > Pd7 > Pd6Cu. This order can be explained by the trend of the activation energy of CO2 hydrogenation to formate (HCOO*). The Pd6Ni cluster has the highest TOF value because it has the lowest activation energy for the formate formation reaction. The Pd6Ni system also has a superior TOF profile for HCOOH formation compared to several metal surfaces in low and high-temperature regions. This finding suggests that the subnanometer PdxNi cluster is a promising catalyst candidate for direct CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid.

Abstract

Polycrystalline silicon was extracted from rice husk by thermal decomposition and aluminothermic methods. Rice husk was thermally decomposed under various heat treatments and acid purifications. High purity silica of 99.81% was obtained by subsequent rice husk washing, pressure cooking in mixed chloride acid peroxide solution, and burning at 500oC for one hour. Aluminothermic reduction of silica was conducted at various calcination temperatures. It is found that 78.6% of silica was converted to silicon for calcination temperature of 800oC. Leaching the reduction product with strong hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids produced silicon polycrystalline with a purity of 99.91%.

Abstract

We study the interaction between benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) molecules with ZnO(100) surface by means of density functional theory-based calculations. We find that these interactions result in the physical adsorptions of BTEX gases with adsorption distances larger than 2 Å. These adsorptions are governed by the van der Waals interaction instead of the covalent interaction. We also find that the trend of the strength of BTX adsorptions on ZnO(100) surface  is in line with the experimental trend of sensitivity of ZnO material towards BTX gases (benzene < tolune < xylene). We explain this relation by using one of the sensing mechanism within the ionosorption model. By using this relation, we also predict that the response of ZnO towards ethylbenzene will be similar to the response towards toluene since these two molecules have similar adsorption energies on ZnO(100) surface.

Abstract

Our study examined the mechanism of oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) at the square paddle-wheel cage active site of TM-BTC metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), where TM is a transition metal, Mn, Fe, or Cu. We used a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and microkinetic calculations to investigate this mechanism. By using a small cluster for modeling the TM-BTC active site structure, we successfully reproduced the experimental trend of ORR activity in the TM-BTC systems: Mn-BTC > Fe-BTC > Cu-BTC. We also found that the unusual ORR activity trend in experiments for Mn and Fe systems originates from the strength of OH adsorption on these systems. The Mn-BTC system exhibits higher ORR activity than the Fe-BTC system due to its weaker adsorption of OH groups. A very strong OH adsorption makes the final OH reduction step sluggish, hence hindering the ORR process.

Abstract

Kami melakukan kajian teoretis mengenai reaksi hidrogenasi metoksida (H3CO) menjadi metanol (CH3OH) pada katalis klaster Pd6Ni secara teoretis menggunakan perhitungan berbasis teori fungsional kerapatan (DFT). Reaksi ini merupakan salah satu reaksi pembatas laju pada proses konversi gas karbon dioksida (CO2) menjadi metanol. Hasil perhitungan kami menunjukkan bahwa reaksi hidrogenasi metoksida pada katalis klaster Pd6Ni memiliki energi aktivasi yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan energi aktivasi pada katalis konvensional berbasis permukaan Cu. Hal ini disebabkan karena klaster Pd6Ni mampu menstabilkan adsorpsi molekul metanol dengan baik dan memiliki energi adsorpsi *H yang relatif lemah.
