To obtain a catalyst based on a non-precious metal that can replace traditional palladium-based selective catalysts of acetylene hydrogenation, the catalytic performances of two different configurations of a B12N12 cluster doped with a single nickel atom were studied by a density functional theory computational approach. After analysing the effect that the adsorption of reactants onto the clusters has on the reaction path, we determined the lowest energy path for the acetylene double hydrogenation. Comparing the acetylene hydrogenation activities and ethylene product selectivities of the B11N12Ni and B12N11Ni clusters, which have different doping sites, we determined the activities of these two catalysts to be similar to each other; however, the B11N12Ni cluster was calculated to have higher selectivity for ethylene as a product. This difference may be related to the moderate adsorption of hydrogen and acetylene on the B11N12Ni cluster. As a new type of nickel-based single-atom catalyst, B11N12Ni clusters may have research value in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene.

Abstract The design and exploitation of high-performance catalysts as well as understanding the structure-property correlation have gained considerable attention in selective hydrogenation reactions, but remain a huge challenge. Herein, we report a RuNi single atom alloy (SAA) in which Ru single atoms are anchored onto Ni nanoparticle surface via Ru–Ni coordination accompanied with electron transfer from sub-surface Ni to Ru. The optimal catalyst 0.4% RuNi SAA exhibits simultaneously improved activity (TOF value: 4293 h− 1) and chemoselectivity toward selective hydrogenation of 4-nitrostyrene to 4-aminostyrene (yield: >99%), which is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest level compared with reported heterogeneous catalysts. In situ experimental researches based on XAFS, FT-IR measurements and theoretical calculations reveal that the Ru–Ni interfacial sites as intrinsic active centers facilitate the preferential cleavage of N–O bond in nitro group with a decreased energy barrier by 0.35 eV. In addition, the Ru–Ni synergistic catalysis promotes the formation of intermediates (C8H7NO* and C8H7NOH*) and accelerates the rate-determining step (hydrogenation of C8H7NOH*), resulting in the extraordinary activity and chemoselectivity toward nitroarenes hydrogenation.
