摘要:

二氧化钛(TiO2)是经典催化载体, 但材料自身强光吸收特性大幅衰减透射模式X射线吸收光谱(XAS)信号, 难以开展工况下原位结构-活性动态研究. 本文开发了一种结合原子层沉积(ALD)和表面有机金属化学(SOMC)的方法, 在二氧化硅基底表面沉积超薄TiO2薄膜, 再于薄膜表面锚定钴纳米颗粒, 制备可适配透射光谱表征的Co/TiO2-SiO2模型催化剂. 催化性能测试结果表明, Co/TiO2-SiO2的CO2甲烷化催化活性与纯TiO2负载钴催化剂Co/TiO2相近; 与之形成对比的是SiO2直接负载钴材料Co/SiO2, 该体系优先催化逆水煤气变换反应生成CO. CO2加氢工况下原位钴K边XAS表征结果证实, 该复合催化剂中的钴物种全程维持金属零价态, 这一特征与其高甲烷化选择性完全匹配.

综上, 本工作证明ALD与SOMC复合制备策略通用性强, 为构建适配原位光谱表征的TiO2基负载型模型催化体系提供可靠制备平台.

Abstract:

TiO2 is ubiquitous as a support in catalytic applications. However, its highly absorptive nature hampers the use of transmission-based spectroscopic techniques such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), limiting in-situ/operando structure-activity studies. Here, we developed a combined atomic layer deposition (ALD) and surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) approach to synthesize cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) supported on a TiO2 thin film dispersed on SiO2, yielding a spectroscopically accessible Co/TiO2-SiO2 model catalyst. The Co/TiO2-SiO2 exhibits CO₂ methanation activity similarly to Co/TiO2 but in contrast to Co/SiO2, which preferentially catalyzes the reverse water gas shift reaction. In-situ Co K-edge XAS during CO2 hydrogenation conditions demonstrates that cobalt remains metallic, consistent with the observed methanation activity. This study highlights that combining ALD and SOMC provides a versatile platform for constructing TiO2-supported model catalysts and enables their characterization via in situ spectroscopy.
