Abstract
Investigating novel promoters and comprehending their roles is an important yet difficult task. In this study, we have introduced dual main-group single-atom In and P as co-promoters into the CuO surface lattice (In-P/CuO) via a straightforward hydrothermal CuO synthesis followed by impregnation. The In-P/CuO catalyst showed superior catalytic performance in dimethyldichlorosilane selectivity and yield to that of the pristine CuO and CuO with a single promoter in the important industrial Rochow-Müller reaction. The combination of thorough experimental characterization and density functional theory calculations reveals that the electron interaction between dual In and P promoters could optimize the local electronic structure of CuO and facilitate MeCl dissociation on the CuO surface, accelerating the transformation of CuO to Cu2O, then CuCl, and eventually the active phase Cu3Si and thereby enhancing overall activity. This work examines the synergistic interactions between dual main-group single-atom promoters in catalysts, offering a proven method for designing highly efficient catalysts.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
