This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past century, heterogeneous catalysis has played a central role in the development of efficient chemical processes for the conversion of fossil resources to fuels and chemicals, and identification of new, sustainable routes to upgrade renewable carbon sources that minimize the ecological footprint. More recently, unprecedented advances in electronic structure theory and related computational methods have provided a major thrust to the efforts that utilize density function theory (DFT) calculations for developing fundamental atomic-level understanding of these processes, and subsequently designing new and improved catalysts. In this dissertation, a combined theoretical and experimental approach is presented to study the reaction mechanisms for the catalytic conversion of formic acid (FA) and propylene oxide on transition metals. An iterative methodology comprising of DFT calculations, reaction kinetics measurements, and mean-field microkinetic modeling is employed to determine the nature of active sites on supported catalysts, explain the experimentally observed trends, and obtain predictions for the surface environment under reaction conditions. A detailed analysis of the DFT derived thermochemistry and kinetics parameters over a wide range of transition metal surfaces is performed to identify the key reactivity descriptors for FA decomposition on transition metal catalysts, and develop semi-empirical linear correlations that are then used to develop a microkinetic modeling based framework for the identification and design of improved (active and selective) bimetallic alloy catalysts. Finally, the possible utilization and applications of these methods and ideas in other key chemical transformations are proposed, and suggestions for future work are included.

Book Adsorption and Catalysis on Transition Metals and Their Oxides

Download or read book Adsorption and Catalysis on Transition Metals and Their Oxides written by Vsevolod F. Kiselev and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with adsorption and catalysis on the surface of transition elements and their compounds, many of which are in teresting because of their particular electronic structure. The authors have worked through a vast body of experimental evi dence on the structure and properties of surfaces of transition metals and relevant oxides. Consideration is given mostly to simple (as opposed to mixed) oxides of transition elements, to common metals and to the adsorption of simple gases. A great deal of attention is paid to the nature of active surface sites responsible for chemisorption and catalytic transformations. The description relies mainly on the simplified ligand-field theory, which, however, proves quite satisfactory for predicting the adsorptive and catalytic activity of species. In many cases simple systems were explored with the aid of novel techniques, and it is only for such systems that the mechanism of the ele mentary act of adsorption and catalysis can be given adequate treatment. The present monograph has emerged from our earlier work in Russian, which appeared in the Khimiya Publishing House (Mos cow) in 1981. This English edition has, however, been revised completely to broaden its scope and to include more recent a chievements. For fruitful discussions the authors are grateful to A.A.

Download or read book Homogeneous Hydrogenation written by P.A. Chaloner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homogeneous hydrogenation is one of the most thoroughly studied fields of homogeneous catalysis. The results of these studies have proved to be most important for an understanding of the underlying principles of the activation of small molecules by transition metal complexes. During the past three decades homogeneous hydrogenation has found widespread application in organic chemistry, including the production of important pharmaceuticals, especially where a sophisticated degree of selectivity is required. This volume presents a general account of the main principles and applications of homogeneous hydrogenation by transition metal complexes. Special attention is devoted to the mechanisms by which these processes occur, and the role of the recently discovered complexes of molecular hydrogen is described. Sources of hydrogen, other than H2, are also considered (transfer hydrogenation). The latest achievements in highly stereoselective hydrogenations have made possible many new applications in organic synthesis. These applications are documented by giving details of the reduction of important unsaturated substrates (alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes and ketones, nitrocompounds, etc.). Hydrogenation in biphasic and phase transfer catalyzed systems is also described. Finally, a discussion of the biochemical routes of H2 activation highlights the similarities and differences in performing hydrogenation in both natural and synthetic systems. For researchers working in the fields of homogeneous catalysis, especially in areas such as pharmaceuticals, plastics and fine chemicals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalysts speed up a chemical reaction or allow for reactions to take place that would not otherwise occur. The chemical nature of a catalyst and its structure are crucial for interactions with reaction intermediates. An electrocatalyst is used in an electrochemical reaction, for example in a fuel cell to produce electricity. In this case, reaction rates are also dependent on the electrode potential and the structure of the electrical double-layer. This work provides a valuable overview of this rapidly developing field by focusing on the aspects that drive the research of today and tomorrow. Key topics are discussed by leading experts, making this book a must-have for many scientists of the field with backgrounds in different disciplines, including chemistry, physics, biochemistry, engineering as well as surface and materials science.
