Abstract:

Soil contamination is a global environmental issue that is exacerbated by rapidly increasing anthropogenic activities. Depending on the pollution sources, the most common contaminants in soil include toxic heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants. These soil contaminations pose severe risks to humans and the ecosystem by damaging the water quality and food chain, and reducing land usability for agriculture, which requires urgent and efficient remediation practices. Traditional physical and chemical processes for soil remediation suffer from long treatment time and usually lack generality because of the different sources, occurrences, and chemical properties of the pollutants. Here, we report an ultrahigh-temperature electrothermal remediation process for the rapid removal of multiple pollutants in soil. The temperature of the contaminated soil with conductive carbon additives rapidly ramps up to >1000 °C within seconds by pulsed direct current inputs. The high temperature enables the evaporative removal of toxic heavy metals; simultaneously, persistent organic pollutants are destroyed by graphitization for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and by mineralization for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. The rapid high-temperature treatment pertains soil mineral constituents, and enhances soil exchangeable nutrient supply, making soil available for plant growth and animal culture. Combining the low-energy, water-free feature and potential scalability, the ultrahigh temperature electrothermal remediation is an attractive alternative for near-future soil remediation practice.

Abstract:

Biomass is a kind of carbon-neutral resource and energy source by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converting it into its own carbon element. Hydrothermal conversion can convert biomass into carbon materials, bio-oils, and combustible gases. However, the temperature and pressure of the hydrothermal process occurring in a batch reactor are typically coupled. In this study, we develop a decoupled temperature and pressure hydrothermal system that can convert biomass at independent temperature or pressure. The independent effects of temperature and pressure on the biomass under decoupled conditions were explored. The promotive effect of pressure on biomass model compounds was discovered, and the mechanism by which high-pressure water under decoupled conditions broke the hydrogen bond network and activated the C–H bond was revealed. By extending the decoupled temperature and pressure hydrothermal system to the conversion of real biomass, the temperature limit of hydrothermal conversion of lignocellulosic biomass was broken, enabling low-temperature hydrothermal conversion of real biomass. This study is valuable for deepening the understanding of the reaction mechanism of hydrothermal conversion of biomass and the practical industrial application of low-temperature hydrothermal conversion of biomass.

Abstract:

Sustainable resource conversion is essential for environmental sustainability, with heterogeneous catalysis playing a critical role. Yet, balancing high catalytic activity with selectivity is challenging due to the complex interactions of intermediates across multiple active sites, which can trigger competing reactions. To overcome this, we introduce the "catalytic shunt," a strategy inspired by biological metabolic shunts, defined as the precise modulation of intermediate adsorption energies across distinct active sites to direct interdependent reaction pathways towards desired products. Applying sustainable syngas conversion as a test, we tuned Mo-O coordination numbers by reduction/oxidation conditions in a bifunctional catalyst to achieve over 80% selectivity for aromatics and a CO conversion surpassing 70%, with yields over 40%—outperforming existing benchmarks generally falling below 29%. As a shunt pathway, by strongly adsorbing intermediates on the first activity domain, we prevent their participation in subsequent reactions, thereby boosting methane production with selectivity above 93% and CO conversion exceeding 50%. This catalytic shunt strategy also showcases versatility across other bifunctional systems for producing gasoline and light olefins. The model, which involves modulating the adsorption of intermediates across different activity domains to create a shunt, provides a promising approach to achieving high activity without compromising product selectivity under harsh reaction conditions.

Abstract:

Correlating atomic configurations—specifically, degree of disorder (DOD)—of an amorphous solid with properties is a long-standing riddle in materials science and condensed matter physics, owing to difficulties in determining precise atomic positions in 3D structures. To this end, 2D systems provide insight to the puzzle by allowing straightforward imaging of all atoms. Direct imaging of amorphous monolayer carbon (AMC) grown by laser-assisted depositions has resolved atomic configurations, supporting the modern crystallite view of vitreous solids over random network theory. Nevertheless, a causal link between atomic-scale structures and macroscopic properties remains elusive. Here we report facile tuning of DOD and electrical conductivity in AMC films by varying growth temperatures. Specifically, the pyrolysis threshold temperature is the key to growing variable-range-hopping conductive AMC with medium-range order (MRO), whereas increasing the temperature by 25 °C results in AMC losing MRO and becoming electrically insulating, with an increase in sheet resistance of 109 times. Beyond visualizing highly distorted nanocrystallites embedded in a continuous random network, atomic-resolution electron microscopy shows the absence/presence of MRO and temperature-dependent densities of nanocrystallites, two order parameters proposed to fully describe DOD. Numerical calculations establish the conductivity diagram as a function of these two parameters, directly linking microstructures to electrical properties. Our work represents an important step towards understanding the structure–property relationship of amorphous materials at the fundamental level and paves the way to electronic devices using 2D amorphous materials.

Abstract:

To improve the efficiency of CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to high valuable products, substantial progress has been made on the development of gas-diffusion type flow cells (e.g., microfluidic reactors and membrane electrode assembly electrolyzers) to improve the mass transport of CO2. A reservoir of flowing highly alkaline electrolyte is typically used in these electrolyzers, with the purpose of increasing the full-cell energy efficiency by reducing the voltage required to drive the coupled anodic oxygen evolution reaction. However, the use of highly alkaline electrolytes inevitably leads to electrolyte degradation and coking of the electrode due to the carbonate formation caused by the chemical reaction of CO2 and OH-, which poses great challenges to the improvement of carbon efficiency to support commercial applications. In a few recent studies, the carbonate formation problem has been effectively reduced by conducting CO2 electrolysis in strong acid media or directly implementing carbonate to CO2RR products. Despite the progress, the energy efficiency for the value-added products is below expectation due to their low total Faradaic efficiency achieved at those conditions. The use of CO instead of CO2 as the feedstock offers a means to address these challenges resulted from the undesired side reaction or low selectivity. Considering the comparatively mature electrochemical conversion of CO2 to CO in non-alkaline conditions (e.g., in strong acid media or using solid oxide electrochemical cell) with high efficiency, the tandem strategy in which CO2 is first reduced to CO followed by further reducing CO to value-added products shows significant promise. Herein we report our latest progress in CO electroreduction using a carbon nanotube supported molecular catalyst to achieve high efficiency towards value-added liquid fuels. Our efforts in providing mechanistic insights including reaction intermediates and pathways will also be discussed.

Abstract:

Renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy are characterized by their intermittency and variability, making large-scale storage and transportation challenging. Converting renewable energy into chemical energy and storing it in fuels and chemicals is a pathway to address this challenge. The key to solving this problem lies in finding a suitable energy storage carrier and efficient and clean electrocatalytic pathways for carrier synthesis. In this talk, I will discuss why ammonia is a promising energy storage carrier. I will introduce the electrochemical ammonia synthesis as the energy storage route, especially lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction reaction (Li-NRR), for the distributed production of fertilizers in small-scale devices powered by renewable electricity. The latest progress of the Li-NRR will be shared, such as continuous-flow reactor and design of stable anode catalyst in the organic system. Lastly, a new system based on redox-mediated ammonia synthesis will be discussed beyond the Li-NRR.

Abstract:

Photocatalysis utilizes photon energy to drive chemical reactions under mild conditions that would otherwise require thermal energy. Nature provides a blueprint for designing photocatalytic systems by assembling light-harvesting antenna complexes, electron transport chains, and catalytic enzymes for photosynthesis. While methods based on the synergy between photosensitizer and catalytic complexes has been widely applied in photocatalysis, a lack of design principal has resulted in a low efficiency of photon-to-product efficiency. The emergence of framework materials, including metal-organic frameworks and covalent-organic frameworks, provide an ideal platform for rational design of multifunctional materials for photocatalysis. In this talk, I will primarily focus on the design of framework materials for improving reaction efficiency in photocatalysis. Artificial photosynthesis and organic transformations are discussed to showcase the potential of framework materials in achieving highly efficient photocatalysis

Abstract:

Direct conversion of methane (CH4) into methanol (CH3OH) provides a feasible route for efficient energy storage and the production of valuable chemicals. The scientific challenge for this dream reaction is the prevention of CH3OH overoxidation. Herein, taking metal oxides, typical semiconductors in the field of methane oxidation as model catalysts, we confirm that the cleavage of different chemical bonds in CH3O* intermediates could greatly affect the conversion pathway of methane, which has a vital role in product selectivity. Specifically, it is revealed that the formation of overoxidation products could be significantly prevented by the selective cleavage of C-O bonds in CH3O* intermediates instead of metal-O bonds. By manipulating the lattice oxygen mobility of metal oxides, the electrons transferring from the surface to the CH3O* intermediates could directionally inject into the antibonding orbitals of the C-O bond, resulting in its selective cleavage. Based on these findings, we proposed a novel concept to modulate the methane conversion pathway to hinder the overoxidation of target products - the concept of a hydrogen bonding trap. Taking boron nitride as a proof-of-concept model, for the first time it is found that the designed N H bonds can work as a hydrogen bonding trap to attract electrons. Benefitting from this property, the N H bonds on the BN surface rather than C-H bonds in formaldehyde prefer to cleave, greatly suppressing the continuous dehydrogenation process. More importantly, formaldehyde will combine with the released protons, which leads to a proton rebound process to regenerate methanol. As the results, the designed catalyst shows a 3.8% conversion rate for methane with a high methanol generation rate (∼325.4 μmol g-1 h-1) and selectivity (∼87.0%) under room temperature and atmospheric pressure in the absence of extra oxidants, which is superior among the reported studies (reaction pressure: <20 bar).

Abstract:

Photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution reaction represents a highly attractive approach for directly converting intermittent solar energy into clean and storable fuels. Among the developed photocatalytic materials, polar materials are considered some of the most promising due to their unique property of promoting the separation of photogenerated carriers through a depolarization electric field. However, traditional inorganic polar photocatalytic materials face issues such as wide bandgaps and poor carrier transport capability, resulting in low overall efficiency in photocatalytic hydrogen production. In this context, we innovatively proposed introducing polarization into metal halide materials, which possess excellent optoelectronic semiconductor properties, opening a new field of research in polar metal halide photocatalysis.

We primarily focused on the design, synthesis, and semiconductor performance characterization, particularly the photocatalytic hydrogen production performance, of two-dimensional multilayer metal halide polar photocatalysts. Firstly, we studied the structure and dimensional regulation rules of metal halides and proposed the "heterometallic alloying" strategy, which effectively improved the semiconductor performance of low-dimensional metal halide materials. Subsequently, we proposed the "cavity-confined rotor" strategy, achieving the directional design and synthesis of two-dimensional multilayer halide polar semiconductors. Furthermore, combining polarization with the excellent photoresponse performance of two-dimensional multilayer metal halide materials, we conducted in-depth research on the bulk photovoltaic effect of these semiconductors and the photoresponse performance driven by the bulk photovoltaic effect, such as polarized light detection. Additionally, thanks to the depolarization field-driven separation of photogenerated carriers and their excellent stability, these compounds exhibit outstanding photocatalytic hydrogen production performance, providing new insights for exploring new types of polar photocatalysts and further improving the efficiency of photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Abstract:

Supported metal catalysts, which usually comprise metal NPs supported on the surface of solid carriers, have been extensively used in the fine chemical synthesis, such as the heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenations. However, for molecules with strong and preferential chemisorption on metal surface, the metal sites can be blocked and cause an activity loss of up to two to three orders of magnitude. For example, during the hydrogenation of N-heterocyclic compounds (e.g., pyridines, quinolines, and amino-containing molecules), the nitrogen moiety of substrates or products can strongly coordinate to the metal sites and form a densely packed molecular layer, thus reducing the accessible metal sites for hydrogenation. To alleviate this problem, high temperature (>200 °C) and ultra-high pressure of hydrogen (15~30 MPa) are usually used in industry to increase the degree of H2 coverage on metal surface to boost the hydrogenation. Furthermore, the strongly-coordinated molecules can break the metal-metal (M-M) bonds, leading to the metal leaching. It is therefore highly desirable for rational design and synthesis of supported metal catalyst to boost the hydrogenation of strongly-coordinated molecules with both high activity and good stability.

We overcome such an inherent limitation of metal catalyst by two strategies, including the modulation of the steric adsorption of molecules on metal NPs surface for activity enhancement and modulation of the electronic structure of the metal NPs for stability improvement. Specifically, the steric adsorption of molecules on metal NPs surface was achieved by the modification of metal NPs surface with porous silica layers, which enables the unique sterically guided molecular adsorption on metal surface, avoiding the formation of densely packed molecular layer and providing free metal sites for H2 adsorption, showing good conversion and product selectivity[1,2]. The modulation of the electronic structure of the metal NPs was achieved through the construction of strong metal-support interactions[3-5], where the electron transfer from support to metal surface significantly inhibit the molecules bond to metal surface via π orbitals of the molecule’s ring or the nitrogen’s lone pair of electrons, resulting in good stability[6]. Overall, these strategies reported here may open up possibilities for the development of highly active and stable metal catalysts in the future.
