The oxidation of copper catalysts during ethylene epoxidation.
The oxidation of copper catalysts during ethylene epoxidation was characterized using in situ photoemission spectroscopy and electron microscopy. Gas chromatography, proton-transfer reaction mass spectrometry and electron-ionization mass spectrometry were used to characterize the catalytic properties of the oxidized copper. We find that copper corrodes during epoxidation in a 1 : 1 mixture of o...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of the mechanism of ethylene epoxidation over Ag–Cu particles†
Silver–copper alloys have been proposed as catalysts for ethylene epoxidation due to their superior selectivity compared to pure silver, the predominant catalyst for this reaction. Under reaction conditions it has been previously shown that, rather than a two-dimensional (2D) Ag–Cu alloy, a thin copper oxide-like layer forms on top of silver, and several possible surface structures were identif...
متن کاملAlloy catalyst in a reactive environment: the example of ag-cu particles for ethylene epoxidation.
Combining first-principles calculations and in situ photoelectron spectroscopy, we show how the composition and structure of the surface of an alloy catalyst is affected by the temperature and pressure of the reagents. The Ag-Cu alloy, recently proposed as an improved catalyst for ethylene epoxidation, forms a thin Cu-O surface oxide, while a Ag-Cu surface alloy is found not to be stable. Sever...
متن کاملChemisorption of Oxygen, Chlorine, Hydrogen, Hydroxide, and Ethylene on Silver Clusters: a Model for the Olefin Epoxidation Reaction *
We have examined various postulated pathways for the catalytic epoxidation of olefins by silver using ab initio quantum mechanical methods to study likely intermediates in this reaction. In particular, we predict preferred binding sites, geometries, vibrational frequencies, and binding energies for 0, O,, Cl, H, OH, and C,H, on a cluster model for Ag aggregates present on supported catalysts. T...
متن کاملSize-Specific Chemistry of Ag Nanostructures in Catalytic Ethylene Epoxidation
The low selectivity of heterogeneous catalysts has been one of the critical obstacles to the wider use of heterogeneous processes in the commercial production of high value chemicals. The limited selectivity is related to a number of issues, including the lack of predictive theories that guide the discovery of the optimal catalytic site, the dearth of strategies to synthesize the targeted sites...
