<p>Understanding the mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation at the local environment requires chemical and topographic information involving catalytic sites, active hydrogen species and their spatial distribution. Here, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) was employed to study the catalytic hydrogenation of chloro-nitrobenzenethiol on a well-defined Pd(sub-monolayer)/Au(111) bimetallic catalyst (<i>p</i><sub>H2</sub>=1.5 bar, 298 K), where the surface topography and chemical fingerprint information were simultaneously mapped with nanoscale resolution (≈10 nm). TERS imaging of the surface after catalytic hydrogenation confirms that the reaction occurs beyond the location of Pd sites. The results demonstrate that hydrogen spillover accelerates hydrogenation at the Au sites within 20 nm from the bimetallic Pd/Au boundary. Density functional theory was used to elucidate the thermodynamics of interfacial hydrogen transfer. We demonstrate that TERS as a powerful analytical tool provides a unique approach to spatially investigate the local structure-reactivity relationship in catalysis.</p>

Abstract In this work, the hydrogenation of acetylene on the Pd2/g-C3N4 catalyst is investigated by the Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) calculations. The Pre-reactant (R), transition states (TSs), and the intermediates (IMs), involved in the hydrogenation process, are characterized from the point of view of energy and structure. The calculated energy barrier for the hydrogen transfer to the acetylene and ethylene are 6.77 and 12.28 kcal/mol, respectively which shows that the Pd2/g-C3N4 catalyst has good selectivity for the conversion of acetylene to ethylene rather than ethane. Comparing the values of these energy barriers with those of the hydrogenation of acetylene on the Pd/g-C3N4 catalyst (21.53 and 38.88 kcal/mol, respectively) shows that the increase in the number of the Pd atoms decreases the energy barriers of the hydrogenation reaction and increases the selectivity of the catalyst for the ethylene production.
