AbstractLignin is a potentially high natural source of biological aromatic substances. However, decomposition of the polymer has proven to be quite challenging, as the complex bonds are fairly difficult to break down chemically. This article is intended to provide an overview of various recent methods for the catalytic chemical depolymerization of the biopolymer lignin into chemical products. For this purpose, nickel-, zeolite- and palladium-supported catalysts were examined in detail. In order to achieve this, various experiments of the last years were collected, and the efficiency of the individual catalysts was examined. This included evaluating the reaction conditions under which the catalysts work most efficiently. The influence of co-catalysts and Lewis acidity was also investigated. The results show that it is possible to control the obtained product selectivity very well by the choice of the respective catalysts combined with the proper reaction conditions.

Modern operando spectroscopy and microscopy, and kinetic investigations have provided qualitative evidence for active site dynamics, catalyst surface dynamics, and charge transport. On the macroscale, intraparticle and interparticle mass and heat transfer can be tuned to optimise selectivity over heterogeneous catalysts. On the microscale, adsorbate-induced restructuring, adsorbate mobility, surface composition, oxidation states, charge transport, bandgap, and the degree of coordination of the active site have been identified for controlling product selectivity. There exist, however, limited physics-based and data-driven multiscale models that can assimilate these qualitative descriptors in an integrated manner to extract quantitative catalyst activity, stability, and product selectivity descriptors. A multiscale model, which describes the evolution of gas species, adspecie accumulation due to reactivity, stability, lifetime, and mobility, charge transport involving electrons and holes, heat transfer for non-isothermal conditions due to reaction exothermicity, and the changing catalyst states is provided. Dynamical effects are included in these models to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale studies and industrial technical reactors.

Abstract Undercoordinated, bridging O-atoms (Obr) are highly active as H-acceptors in alkane dehydrogenation on IrO2(110) surfaces but transform to HObr groups that are inactive toward hydrocarbons. The low C-H activity and high stability of the HObr groups cause the kinetics and product selectivity during CH4 oxidation on IrO2(110) to depend sensitively on the availability of Obr atoms prior to the onset of product desorption. From temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) and kinetic simulations, we identified two Obr-coverage regimes that distinguish the kinetics and product formation during CH4 oxidation on IrO2(110). Under excess Obr conditions, when the initial Obr coverage is greater than that needed to oxidize all the CH4 to CO2 and HObr groups, complete CH4 oxidation is dominant and produces CO2 in a single TPRS peak between 450 and 500 K. However, under Obr-limited conditions, nearly all the initial Obr atoms are deactivated by conversion to HObr or abstracted after only a fraction of the initially adsorbed CH4 oxidizes to CO2 and CO below 500 K. Thereafter, some of the excess CHx groups abstract H and desorb as CH4 above ~500 K while the remainder oxidize to CO2 and CO at a rate that is controlled by the rate at which Obr atoms are regenerated from HObr during the formation of CH4 and H2O products. We also show that chemisorbed O-atoms (“on-top O”) on IrO2(110) enhance CO2 production below 500 K by efficiently abstracting H from Obr atoms and thereby increasing the coverage of Obr atoms available to completely oxidize CHx groups at low temperature. Our results provide new insights for understanding factors which govern the kinetics and selectivity during CH4 oxidation on IrO2(110) surfaces.

One approach to selectively generate 1-hexene is through ethylene trimerization using highly active Cr N-phosphinoamidine catalysts ((P,N)Cr). Depending on the ligand, (P,N)Cr catalysts can either generate nearly pure 1-hexene or form 1-hexene with significant mixtures of other C6 mass products, for example methylenecyclopentane. Here we report DFT transition state modeling examining 1-hexene catalysis pathways as well as pathways that lead to alternative C6 mass products. This provided qualitative and semi-quantitative modeling of the experimental 1-hexene purity values for several (P,N)Cr catalysts. Consistent with previous computational studies, the key 1-hexene purity-determining transition states were determined to be β-hydrogen transfer structures from the metallacycloheptane intermediate. The origin of selectivity for these (P,N)Cr catalysts can be attributed to steric effects in the transition-state structure with coordinated ethylene that leads to C6 impurities.
