Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have shown great promise for ethane dehydrogenation (EDH), owing mainly to their near-100% atomic utilization, precisely tunable active sites, and superior catalytic performance. Studies reveal that the nature of active metals, the properties of support and the coordination environments are critical factors affecting EDH performance. Among various supports, graphene has emerged as an ideal support material due to its excellent thermal stability and flexible, tunable coordination structure. While previous research has explored the effects of different active metals and coordination environments, a systematic understanding of their underlying principles is still lacking due to fragmented data. To bridge this gap, this work constructed a systematic, comprehensive database of heteroatom-doped graphene-supported SACs, covering five representative metal single atoms and 51 distinct coordination environments grouped into six major categories. Through high-throughput calculations, multi-dimensional data were systematically obtained, including elementary reaction energies, vibrational frequencies, density of states and Bader charges. A rigorous quality control system was implemented at both the parameter-setting and computational result levels. The database also provides complete raw calculation files, offering reliable data support for in-depth analysis of the catalytic performance, structure-performance relationship and reaction mechanisms of heteroatom-doped graphene-supported SACs in EDH.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology (Ranliao Huaxue Xuebao) is a Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) journal started in 1956, sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). The journal is published bimonthly by Science Press in China and widely distributed in about 20 countries. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology publishes reports of both basic and applied research in the chemistry and chemical engineering of many energy sources, including that involved in the nature, processing and utilization of coal, petroleum, oil shale, natural gas, biomass and synfuels, as well as related subjects of increasing interest such as C1 chemistry, pollutions control and new catalytic materials. Types of publications include original research articles, short communications, research notes and reviews. Both domestic and international contributors are welcome. Manuscripts written in Chinese or English will be accepted. Additional English titles, abstracts and key words should be included in Chinese manuscripts. All manuscripts are subject to critical review by the editorial committee, which is composed of about 10 foreign and 50 Chinese experts in fuel science. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology has been a source of primary research work in fuel chemistry as a Chinese core scientific periodical.
