摘要:

催化选择加氢在精细化学品、药品及农用化学品的合成中起着关键作用. 传统负载型金属纳米催化剂虽具有较高的加氢活性, 但在多官能团底物的选择性还原中, 往往面临化学选择性难以调控的难题. 在此背景下, 单原子催化剂(SACs)凭借其独特的空间构型与电子效应, 展现出官能团选择性活化与加氢的特殊潜力. 然而, 孤立单原子位点通常具有的阳离子特性限制其活化氢气的能力, 进而影响其催化加氢活性. 因此, 阐明不同价态单原子活性位的催化加氢性质及发展提升氢气活化效率的策略, 已成为选择加氢领域的共性挑战.

本文采用原子层沉积法将铂负载于α-Fe2O3纳米片, 成功合成了Pt1/FeOx单原子催化剂. 结构表征发现催化剂中存在Pt1δ+和Pt10两种价态不同的铂单原子活性位点, 且以Pt1δ+活性位占比为主导(76%). 密度泛函理论计算结果表明, 氢气在两种铂位点上具有显著不同的活化路径: 在Pt1δ+位点发生异裂活化, 而在Pt10位点则通过能垒较低的均裂机制活化, 且Pt10位点对H2的活化活性显著高于Pt1δ+位点. 同时, 水分子介导的氢键网络可显著降低催化剂表面H2解离及氢物种的溢流能垒, 而载体表面低价铁位点对硝基基团具有优异的活化能力. 宏观动力学分析、H2-D2和H2-D2O同位素交换及控制实验证实了水分子不仅促进且参与氢气活化, 并通过质子传递使得吸附于载体表面低价铁位点的硝基基团得以高效加氢. 3-硝基苯乙烯选择性加氢实验结果显示, 该双价态Pt1/FeOx单原子催化剂在反应中表现出优异的催化性能: 在含水量为50 vol%的溶剂中, 其周转频率约为纯乙醇体系中的24倍, 且目标产物3-氨基苯乙烯的选择性高达97.9%.

综上, 本文阐明了不同价态铂单原子的氢气活化机制, 揭示了水分子在单原子催化体系中的调控作用, 并明确了载体低价铁位点在硝基加氢反应中的活化机制, 从而在显著提升催化活性的同时保持了优异的加氢选择性. 该研究为高性能选择性加氢单原子催化剂的设计与开发提供了新思路.

Abstract:

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are highly attractive for selective hydrogenation owing to their excellent chemoselectivity toward specific functional group activation, yet the inherently cationic nature of isolated metal sites often limits hydrogen activation and thus compromises activity. Herein, we report a Pt1/FeOx SAC prepared via atomic layer deposition of Pt onto α-Fe2O3 nanosheets. Dual-valent Pt atoms are identified on different surface terminations of the exposed (001) facet, and theoretically demonstrated to exhibit distinct catalytic behaviors, i.e., Pt1δ+ sites enable heterolytic H2 activation whereas Pt10 sites facilitate a more kinetically favorable homolytic H2 dissociation. Moreover, a water-mediated hydrogen-bonding network substantially lowers the H2 dissociation and H* species spillover barriers and promotes remote hydrogenation. As a result, in the catalytic hydrogenation of 3-nitrostyrene, the Pt1/FeOx SAC exhibits approximately 24-fold higher activity relative to its water-free counterpart, while high selectivity toward 3-aminostyrene is maintained through preferential activation of nitro groups at adjacent low-valence Fe neighboring Pt single-atom sites. These findings reveal that the catalytic behavior of SACs strongly depends on the oxidation state of single atoms. Notably, metallic single-atom species with water-promoted hydrogen activation demonstrate superior hydrogenation efficiency, resulting in a markedly enhanced activity.
