摘要:

在二氧化碳(CO2)催化转化制备高附加值化学品的研究中, 如何实现对反应路径与产物选择性的精准调控仍是多相催化领域的关键挑战. 本文以钾改性氧化铁(K-Fe2O₃)为模型催化剂, 系统揭示了反应压力在CO2加氢过程中对铁基催化剂物相演化及反应机理的决定性作用. 在0.1-10.0 MPa宽压力范围内的催化性能评价结果表明,低压至中等压力(< 3.5 MPa)下, 催化剂表面以Fe₅C2为主, 该相能够有效促进费托合成(Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, FTS)型C-C偶联过程, 从而实现长链烃类的高选择性生成; 而在高压环境(≥ 7.0 MPa)下, Fe₅C2逐渐转化为FeCO₃物相, 伴随Fe-O配位强度增强及表面碳酸盐物种积累. 综合X射线衍射(XRD)、穆斯堡尔谱、高分辨透射电子显微与元素分析(HR-TEM/EDX)、X射线吸收光谱(XAS)及X射线光电子能谱(XPS)等多维表征结果证实,K-Fe2O₃存在显著的压力依赖性相变, FeCO₃在高压条件下成为主导相, 并对CO活化呈惰性. 原位漫反射红外傅里叶变换光谱(operando DRIFTS)和CO程序升温表面反应(CO-TPSR)实验进一步表明, FeCO₃能够稳定含COO中间体并抑制C-O键断裂, 从而阻断传统FTS链增长路径, 转而促进直接的COO插入反应, 实现产物选择性由烃类向含氧化合物(高级醇和羧酸)转变. 性能测试结果显示,中等压力下C₅⁺烃产率最高, 而高压下含氧化合物选择性显著提升, 验证了压力诱导的相变对产物分布的调控效应.

本研究不仅阐明了高压CO2环境下铁基催化剂的结构重构机制, 还为调节CO2加氢反应中的含氧化合物选择性提供了一种无需依赖贵金属或复杂催化剂构型的新策略. 为工业高压条件下CO2定向转化制高值化学品提供了理论依据与技术参考.

Abstract:

The selective conversion of CO2 into value-added chemicals remains a critical challenge in heterogeneous catalysis. Here, we demonstrate that reaction pressure governs a decisive mechanistic switch in CO2 hydrogenation over potassium-promoted iron catalysts. Catalytic tests conducted from 0.1 to 10.0 MPa reveal that moderate pressure (3.5 MPa) favors Fischer-Tropsch-type pathways, yielding long-chain hydrocarbons through Fe5C2-mediated C-C coupling. In contrast, elevated pressures (≥ 7.0 MPa) suppress hydrocarbon formation and promotes the production of long-chain oxygenates, including higher alcohols and carboxylic acids. Comprehensive structural characterization indicates a clear pressure-dependent phase transformation: Fe5C2 progressively diminishes and evolves into FeCO3, accompanied by increased Fe-O and carbonate surface species. Operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy reveals that FeCO3-rich surfaces stabilize COO-containing intermediates and inhibit C-O bond scission, favoring direct COO insertion rather than Fischer-Tropsch chain growth. CO-temperature programmed surface reaction further confirms that FeCO3 is catalytically inert toward CO activation, explaining the reduced CO2 conversion observed at high pressure. The combined results establish FeCO3 as a pressure-generated phase that redirects CO2 hydrogenation from hydrocarbon-selective to oxygenate-selective pathways. This work provides mechanistic insight into pressure-driven catalyst restructuring and offers a new strategy for tuning oxygenate selectivity in CO2 hydrogenation.
