Self-Polarization Triggered Multiple Polar Units Toward Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 to Ethanol with High Selectivity

Electrochemical conversion of CO₂ to highly valuable ethanol has been considered a intriguring strategy for carbon neutruality. However, the slow kinetics of coupling carbon-carbon (C−C) bonds, especially the low selectivity ethanol than ethylene in neutral conditions, is a significant challenge. Herein, the asymmetrical refinement structure with enhanced charge polarization is built in the vertically oriented bimetallic organic frameworks (NiCu-MOF) nanorod array with encapsulated Cu₂O (Cu₂O@MOF/CF), which can induce an intensive internal electric field to increase the C−C coupling for producing ethanol in neutral electrolyte. Particularly, when directly employed Cu₂O@MOF/CF as the self-supporting electrode, the ethanol faradaic efficiency (FE_ethanol) could reach maximum 44.3 % with an energy efficiency of 27 % at a low working-potential of −0.615 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (vs. RHE) using CO₂-saturated 0.5 M KHCO₃ as the electrolyte. Experimental and theoretical studies suggest that the polarization of atomically localized electric fields derived from the asymmetric electron distribution can tune the moderate adsorption of *CO to assist the C−C coupling and reduce the formation energy of H₂CCHO*-to-*OCHCH₃ for the generation of ethanol. Our research offers a reference for the design of highly active and selective electrocatalysts for reducing CO₂ to multicarbon chemicals.     

Unsymmetric bimetal(II) complexes: Synthesis, structures and catalytic behaviors toward ethylene

A series of unsymmetric bimetal(II) (Fe, Co and Ni) complexes ligated by 2-methyl-2,4-bis(6-iminopyridin-2-yl)-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines were synthesized and characterized by IR spectra and elemental analysis, while a representative nickel(II) complex (5a) was determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. These iron(II) complexes were found to exhibit good activities for ethylene oligomerization and polymerization in the presence of MMAO and afforded α-olefins in high selectivity, and the composition of oligomers followed the Schluz-Flory distribution. The nickel(II) complexes mainly dimerize ethylene with considerable activity. The influences of coordinative ligands and reaction parameters were fully investigated on the catalytic activity and properties of these complexes.     

Strain field and extrusion load in ECAE process of bi-metal circular cross section

In this paper the previous velocity field proposed by the authors for the prediction of strain field and deformation load of circular cross section billet in ECAE process has been extended to take into account the deformation behavior of bimetal circular billet in the same process. Accordingly, using Bezier method, as a robust method for determining the geometry of the streamlines, the strain field developed in the circular bimetal billet is calculated. Then, based on the kinematically admissible velocity and strain fields and using the upper bound theorem the ECAE load is predicted. It was found that at constant inner corner angle of ECAE die, with decreasing of outer curve corner the inhemogenity of strain distribution is decreased and the ECAE force is increased. Also, at a constant outer curve corner, by decreasing the inner corner angle, the extrusion load is increased. A good agreement was found between the predicted and experimental results.     

In situ FT-IR study on CO2 hydrogenation over SiO2-supported PtM (M = Cr, Mo, W) complex catalysts

The in situ FT-IR spectra were used to study the CO₂ hydrogenation reaction over the SiO₂-supported heterobinuclear metal complex catalysts, PtM (M=Cr, Mo, W). The bands, which correspond to the formate species absorbed on the catalysts, were observed. During the hydrogenation reactions, the adsorbed linear and bridging CO was not observed. The experimental results suggest that for the CO₂ and CO hydrogenation reaction over the same catalysts, their catalytic active intermediate species and the reaction mechanisms should be different.     

Sonochemical synthesis of graphitic carbon nitrides‐wrapped bimetal oxide nanoparticles hybrid materials and their electrocatalytic activity for xanthine electro-oxidation

A novel network-like magnetic nanoparticle was fabricated on a graphitic carbon nitride through a facile sonochemical route at frequency 20 kHz and power 70 W. To enhance the electrocatalytic activity of the modified materials, the graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C₃N₄) was prepared from melamine. Monitoring of xanthine concentration level in biological fluids is more important for clinical diagnosis and medical applications. As modified CuFe₂O₄/g-C₃N₄ nanocomposite exhibits better electrochemical activity towards the oxidation of xanthine with higher anodic current compared to other modified and unmodified electrode for the detection of xanthine with larger linear range (0.03–695 µM) and lower limit of detection (13.2 nM). To compare with these methods, the electrochemical techniques may be an alternative high sensitive method due to their simplicity and rapid detection time. In addition, the practical feasibility of the sensor was inspected with biological samples, reveals the acceptable recovery of the sensor in real samples.

A practical procedure of propargylation of aldehydes

An operationally simple procedure of propargylation of aldehydes in moist solvent (distilled THF) has been developed through direct addition of propargyl bromide to aldehyde substrates mediated with low valent iron or tin. The metals were spontaneously prepared in situ employing bimetal redox strategy. Using different aldehydes as substrates (3a-k) both these metal mediated reactions took place producing homopropargyl alcohols (4a-k) in good yields in all cases and with high chemoselectivity in most of the cases (Table 1). Due to its efficacy, operational simplicity, performance in moist solvent, and being comprised of the use of inexpensive metal/metal salts, the procedure is practically viable and potentially scalable.
