However, conventional direct current (DC) Kolbe electrolysis typically cleaves functional groups in carboxylic acids, significantly hindering its broader application. Herein, we demonstrate that dopant-induced electron localization in activated carbon (AC) facilitates decarboxylative coupling while preserving functional integrity. Experimental and theoretical results reveal that nitrogen doping in AC (N-AC) modulates the local electronic structure and enhances the adsorption capacity of carboxylic acids. Notably, N-AC exhibits a 10-fold increase in the conversion of 10-undecenoic acid compared to AC, with a selectivity of up to 60 ± 2% for the coupling product. More importantly, N-AC effectively catalyzes carboxylic acids with diverse functional groups. This study provides new insights into the structure–property relationship of N-doped carbon and advances the practical implementation of Kolbe electrolysis for biomass valorization.</p>","PeriodicalId":9,"journal":{"name":"ACS Catalysis ","volume":"15 7","pages":"5886–5893 5886–5893"},"PeriodicalIF":11.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143767226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the scarcity of platinum and toxicity of chromium, enhancing the catalytic activity and high-temperature stability of zinc-based alternative catalysts bearing a limited amount of Pt would be ideal. Here, we successfully created a low-loaded platinum-confined and zinc-incorporated MFI-type silicalite-1 zeolite catalyst via a facile one-pot synthesis route aided by a micro-liquid film reactor. It was demonstrated that highly dispersed Zn ions were fully incorporated into the S-1 framework, while atomically dispersed Pt^δ+ binding to the framework oxygen atoms could be firmly confined in the S-1 micropores. The as-constructed catalyst with only 0.041 wt % Pt loading displayed an impressively ultralow deactivation rate constant of approximately 0.0007 h^–1 in the PDH at the WHSV of 2.4 h^–1 and 600 °C. More significantly, the catalyst achieved a remarkably high propylene production rate of 188.1 mol_C3H6·g_Pt^–1·h^–1 at the higher WHSV of 12 h^–1, far surpassing those of the state-of-the-art PtZn- and PtSn-based catalysts for PDH operated at the medium WHSV values. By combining the multiple characterizations and density functional theory calculations, it was unveiled that the high catalytic efficiency and high-temperature stability of the catalyst was ascribed to the formation of unique atomically dispersed Pt^δ+–O–Zn structures in the catalyst.

It is an efficient way to design high-performance catalysts by controlling the hydroxyl (OH) groups, but its mechanism for affecting the APRM is still unclear. Herein, we loaded Pt on three types of Al₂O₃ (nanopolyhedron, nanosheet, and nanorod Al₂O₃) with different OH contents and types. Among them, Pt/nanorod Al₂O₃ exhibited the highest H₂ production rate of 20.4 μmol g^–1 s^–1 with 96.6% H₂ selectivity at a low temperature of 190 °C. This was attributed to the roles of hydroxyl groups in modulating Pt states. On nanopolyhedron, nanosheet, and nanorod Al₂O₃, the bonding of Pt with O atoms became more favorable as the dehydroxylation happened. In particular, on nanorod Al₂O₃, the dehydroxylation process generated a high density of five-coordinated Al (Al_V) sites, facilitating the dispersion and anchoring of Pt particles. Moreover, the special OH groups (hydrogen bond donor) on nanorod Al₂O₃ promoted Pt particle reduction via the movement of electrons.

This approach achieves remarkable efficiency, with yields up to 99% and scalability to decagram quantities.
