Oxygen-containing carbons are promising supports and metal-free catalysts for many reactions. However, distinguishing the role of various oxygen functional groups quantifying tuning each functionality is still difficult. Here we investigate Brønsted acidic oxygen-containing by synthesizing a diverse library materials. By combining acid-catalyzed elimination probe chemistry, comprehensive surface characterizations, 15N isotopically labeled acetonitrile adsorption coupled with magic-angle...
Abstract Infrared (IR) spectra of adsorbate vibrational modes are sensitive to adsorbate/metal interactions, accurate, and easily obtainable in-situ or operando. While they the gold standards for characterizing single-crystals large nanoparticles, analogous highly dispersed heterogeneous catalysts consisting single-atoms ultra-small clusters lacking. Here, we combine data-based approaches with physics-driven surrogate models generate synthetic IR from first-principles. We bypass vast...
Mechanistic modeling is a cornerstone of catalyst development generally conducted with microkinetic models or density functional theory-based energy profiles. We extend the span model homogeneous catalysis to heterogeneous systems by introducing modified analysis (MESA) implementing collision theory and gas-phase concentration effects. determine analytically turnover frequencies, coverages, rate-determining steps, apparent activation energies, reaction orders in agreement kinetic Monte Carlo...
Reaction networks are identified with active learning design of experiments using Bayesian statistics and Boolean principles in a generalizable methodology.
Mechanistic modeling provides vital insights into catalytic reactions. To analyze complex reaction networks with parallel pathways, we leverage the graph theory approach of Energy Span Model (ESM) to develop a modified energy span analysis (MESA). A new method cycle plots is proposed perform pathways visually. We demonstrate this on two published models: one describing carbon monoxide oxidation and other simulating ethylene conversion propanal via hydroformylation or ethane hydrogenation....
