Dynamic Formation of Brønsted Acid Sites over Supported WOx/Pt on SiO2 Inverse Catalysts─Spectroscopy, Probe Chemistry, and Calculations

Yurong Wu,
Sagar Sourav,
Alfred Worrad
et al.

Abstract: Platinum-tungsten oxides are among the most studied metal−metal oxide pair catalysts for C−O hydrogenolysis reactions. The Brønsted acid density and synergy between Pt and WO x , especially in the inverse structure, are critical to reactivity and selectivity. However, a clear molecular-level understanding of the formation and dynamics of Brønsted acid sites (BAS) is lacking. Here, using in situ spectroscopic characterizations (Raman and FTIR), chemical probing (CO chemisorption and pyridine titration), density… Show more

“…As shown in Figure 1B, bare SiO 2 exhibited weak bands at ∼477, 594, and 800 cm −1 , assignable to D1 and D2 defect modes of tri-and tetra-cyclotrisiloxane as well as bridging Si−O−Si symmetrical stretching, respectively. 50,55 at 716 and 800 cm −1 corresponding to W−O−W stretching vibration were present for 2W/SiO 2 , indicating the formation of bulk WO 3 nanoparticles. 55 In contrast, these two bands were barely observable for 1W/SiO 2 , indicating the WO x species were dispersed completely at low W loadings.…”

A W density of 0.16 atoms•nm −2 on 1W/SiO 2 is significantly lower than 0.5 atoms• nm −2 for a monolayer coverage of WO 3 on SiO 2 .…”

“…Two different step models, Pt(221) and Pt(553), were chosen to understand the effect of terrace width on WO x stability. Based on a recent phase diagram analysis of WO x domains on Pt(111), W 3 O 7 is considered a representative model structure for reduced WO x growth on metal surfaces. , Additional WO x models, including domains containing Brønsted acid sites ( e.g. , W 3 O x H), higher W-oxidation states, and select W 4 O x structures, were considered.…”

“…Being aware of this, we tend to unfold the catalyst design requirement for efficient HDO of biomass-derived oxygenated monomers which involves weak adsorption situations, rather than simply report an efficient HDO catalyst. As reported, W–OH–W present on tungsten oxide acts as BAS to facilitate the dehydration process, and its BAS can be generated in the following two ways: , (i) dissociated hydrogen species on the metal surface spill to adjacent WO x sites; (ii) heterolytic cleavage of H 2 on WO x forms W–OH and hydride. Here, we choose WO 3 as the target support to develop an oxophilic Fe-doped Pt/WO x multifunctional catalyst to elucidate the effect of different active sites on the main subreaction process during the HDO process.…”
