Selective synthesis of higher oxygenates
from syngas is an important
but challenging research target, and the present methods for converting
syngas into oxygenates suffer from low selectivity and high energy
consumption in multiple processes. Herein, we report a tandem catalyst
composed of carbon-supported CoMn and Rh-metalated 3v-PPh3-based porous organic polymers (POPs), which can convert syngas to
oxygenates with a selectivity of up to 62.7% and where the percentages
of C2+ and C6+ oxygenates exceed 96.6 and 70.7%,
respectively. The CoMn/modified activated carbon (MAC) works as a
Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalyst to produce paraffins,
olefins, and alcohols, and the Rh–P active site embedded on
Rh/3v-PPh3@POPs serves as a heterogeneous hydroformylation
catalyst to convert the obtained olefins into aldehydes. The present
work puts forward an alternative strategy for the design of relay
catalysts for the direct synthesis of higher oxygenates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
