The fabrication of palladium–pyridyl complex multilayers and their application as a catalyst for the Heck reaction

Journal of Materials Chemistry (2011)

Shuiying Gao Yuan‐Biao Huang Minna Cao Tian‐Fu Liu Rong Cao

Through layer-by-layer (LbL) technology, (PdCl2/bpy)n multilayer films were prepared by alternately immersing quartz slides pre-coated with a PEI layer in PdCl2 and bpy aqueous solutions (PEI = poly(ethylenimine), bpy = 4,4′-bipyridyl). The (PdCl2/bpy)n multilayers were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). UV-vis spectra show that the successful fabrication of (PdCl2/bpy)n multilayers depends on the coordination interaction between palladium ions and pyridine moieties. AFM images show that the nanostructure aggregates are of Pd form on the surface. With an increase in the number of layers, more particle aggregates are distributed on the surface. When released from the substrate, Pd nanostructure aggregates are responsible for the activity of the catalyst. The XPS analysis demonstrates that the Pd oxidation state is +2. The application of (PdCl2/bpy)n multilayers as a catalyst for the Heck reaction was also investigated. Palladium–pyridyl complex loaded slides can be used as a catalyst reservoir. During the Heck reaction process, the desorbed Pd–bpy complexes from the solid slides are soluble molecular Pd species and are the catalytically active species, which show high activity for the Heck reaction of aryl bromides. Catalyst loading is as low as 3.4 × 10−6 mol% and high turnover numbers (TON) of up to 2.0 × 107 are achieved.

Engineering Ru‐Au‐Mn Trimetallic Nanostructure for High‐Performance Acidic Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalysis

ChemCatChem (2024)

Yuhang Zhang Shuai Yue Rong Cao Minna Cao

Abstract Developing highly efficient and stable electrocatalysts in acidic media is essential for proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs). Especially for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), high overpotential is needed to overcome the high thermodynamic energy barrier of water splitting. Herein, we report a high‐efficiency self‐supported ternary alloy OER catalyst with high activity and good durability in acidic electrolytes by a simple electrodeposition method. The as‐prepared electrocatalyst consists of Ru, Au, and Mn alloy which is deposited on the carbon fiber paper (denoted as RuAuMn‐CFP). The RuAuMn‐CFP exhibits superior activity and only requires an overpotential of 131 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and outstanding stability of 30 h (10 mA cm −2 ) in acidic media, which outperforms the commercial Ru/C and Ir/C catalysts. Besides, at an overpotential of 140 mV, the RuAuMn‐CFP catalyst exhibited a remarkable mass activity of 29.63 mA/mg for OER. It is 7.9 times and 23.8 times higher than the commercial Ru/C and Ir/C catalysts (3.73 mA/mg, 1.24 mA/mg, respectively).

N-Doped holey carbon materials derived from a metal-free macrocycle cucurbit[6]uril assembly as an efficient electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction

Chemical Communications (2019)

Dongshuang Wu Minna Cao Hanhui You Chuan Zhao Rong Cao

The first example of the preparation of nitrogen-doped holey carbon (NHC) with abundant in-plane holes derived from a rigid macrocycle cucurbit[6]uril self-assembly is reported. The NHC shows comparable activity, better stability and higher methanol tolerance towards the oxygen reduction reaction compared to the use of commercial Pt/C.
