Hartmanb) Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, New York University, 6 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, New York 11201 (Received 3 May 2019; accepted 8 July 2019; published 5 August 2019) Microfluidic reactors with in situ spectroscopy have enabled many new directions of research over the last two decades. The miniature nature of these systems enables several key advantages in het- erogeneous catalysis, which includes the reaction surface or interface accessible to spectroscopic equipment making the discovery of new catalytic materials possible. Devices fabricated with mate- rials that are transparent to electromagnetic radiation enable in situ and in operando spectroscopy such as Raman, UV-Vis, and IR directly at the point of the reaction, and thus high fidelity, transient information on the reaction chemistry is available. Innovative designs with NMR, elec- trochemical impedance spectroscopy, x-ray techniques, or terahertz imaging have also advanced the field of heterogeneous catalysis. These methods have been successfully engineered to make major breakthroughs in the design of catalytic materials for important classes of chemical reac- tions. In this review, the authors provide an overview of recent advances in the design of micro- reactors with in situ spectroscopy for the study of heterogeneous catalysis to raise awareness among the vacuum science community on techniques, tools, existing challenges, and emerging trends and opportunities. © 2019 Author(s).

The knowledge on the evolution of catalysts and identification of active sites during the reaction is important, but still limited. Here, we report an efficient catalyst (Ag-D) with suitable defect concentration operando formed during ECR within several minutes. Utilizing the powerful fast operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the evolving electronic and crystal structures are unraveled under ECR condition. The catalyst exhibits a ~100% faradaic efficiency and neg- ligible performance degradation over a 120-hour test at a moderate overpotential of 0.7 V in an H-cell reactor and a current density of ~180 mA cm−2 at −1.0 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode in a flow-cell reactor. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the adsorption of intermediate COOH could be enhanced and the free energy of the reaction pathways could be optimized by an appropriate defect concentration, rationalizing the experimental observation. 1 State Key Laboratory of Materials-Oriented Chemical Engineering, College of Chemical Engineering, Nanjing Tech University, Nanjing, P.

    J. Phys. Chem. C 2008, 112, 11363–11372 11363 An Operando Raman, IR, and TPSR Spectroscopic Investigation of the Selective Oxidation of Propylene to Acrolein over a Model Supported Vanadium Oxide Monolayer Catalyst Chunli Zhao and Israel E. Wachs* Operando Molecular Spectroscopy and Catalysis Laboratory, Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 7 Asa DriVe, Sinclair Laboratory, Lehigh UniVersity, Bethlehem, PennsylVania 18015 ReceiVed: February 21, 2008; ReVised Manuscript ReceiVed: May 9, 2008 The selective oxidation of propylene to acrolein was investigated over a well-defined supported V2O5/Nb2O5 catalyst, containing a surface vanadia monolayer, with combined operando Raman/IR/MS, temperature 18 programmed surface reaction (TPSR) spectroscopy and isotopically labeled reactants ( O2 and C3D6). The dissociative chemisorption of propylene on the catalyst forms the surface allyl (H2CdCHCH2*) intermediate, the most abundant reaction intermediate. The presence of gas phase molecular O2 is required to oxidize the surface H* to H2O and prevent the hydrogenation of the surface allyl intermediate back to gaseous propylene 18 16 (Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction mechanism). The O2 labeled studies demonstrate that only lattice Ois incorporated into the acrolein reaction product (Mars-van Krevelen reaction mechanism). This is the first time that a combined Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Mars-van Krevelen reaction mechanism has been found for a selective oxidation reaction. Comparative studies with allyl alcohol (H2CdCHCH2OH) and propylene (H2CdCHCH3) reveal that the oxygen insertion step does not precede the breaking of the surface allyl C-H bond. The deuterium labeled propylene studies show that the second C-H bond breaking of the surface allyl intermediate is the rate-determining step.

  • Boosting the Characterization of Heterogeneous Catalysts for H2O2 Direct Synthesis by Infrared Spectroscopy
    catalysts Review Boosting the Characterization of Heterogeneous Catalysts for H2O2 Direct Synthesis by Infrared Spectroscopy Maela Manzoli Department of Drug Science and Technology, University of Turin, Via Pietro Giuria 9, 10125 Turin, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +39-011-670-6663 Received: 30 November 2018; Accepted: 19 December 2018; Published: 2 January 2019 Abstract: Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is among the most powerful spectroscopic techniques available for the morphological and physico-chemical characterization of catalytic systems, since it provides information on (i) the surface sites at an atomic level, (ii) the nature and structure of the surface or adsorbed species, as well as (iii) the strength of the chemical bonds and (iv) the reaction mechanism. In this review, an overview of the main contributions that have been determined, starting from IR absorption spectroscopy studies of catalytic systems for H2O2 direct synthesis, is given. Which kind of information can be extracted from IR data? IR spectroscopy detects the vibrational transitions induced in a material by interaction with an electromagnetic field in the IR range. To be IR active, a change in the dipole moment of the species must occur, according to well-defined selection rules. The discussion will be focused on the advancing research in the use of probe molecules to identify (and possibly, quantify) specific catalytic sites. The experiments that will be presented and discussed have been carried out mainly in the mid-IR frequency range, between approximately 700 and 4000 cm−1, in which most of the molecular vibrations absorb light. Some challenging possibilities of utilizing IR spectroscopy for future characterization have also been envisaged.

Wachs* and Charles A. Roberts Received 15th October 2010 DOI: 10.1039/c0cs00145g The molecular aspect of the Raman vibrational selection rules allows for the molecular structural and reactivity determinations of metal oxide catalytic active sites in all types of oxide catalyst systems (supported metal oxides, zeolites, layered hydroxides, polyoxometalates (POMs), bulk pure metal oxides, bulk mixed oxides and mixed oxide solid solutions). The molecular structural and reactivity determinations of metal oxide catalytic active sites are greatly facilitated by the use of isotopically labeled molecules. The ability of Raman spectroscopy to (1) operate in all phases (liquid, solid, gas and their mixtures), (2) operate over a very wide temperature (À273 to >1000 1C) and pressure (UHV to c100 atm) range, and (3) provide molecular level information about metal oxides makes Raman spectroscopy the most informative characterization technique for understanding the molecular structure and surface chemistry of the catalytic active sites present in metal oxide heterogeneous catalysts. The recent use of hyphenated Raman spectroscopy instrumentation (e.g., Raman–IR, Raman–UV-vis, Raman–EPR) and the operando Raman spectroscopy methodology (e.g., Raman–MS and Raman–GC) is allowing for the establishment of direct structure–activity/selectivity relationships that will have a significant impact on catalysis science in this decade.

Sathiya1,2, J.-B. Leriche3, E. Salager4,5, D. Gourier6, J.-M. Tarascon1,2,5 & H. Vezin7 Batteries for electrical storage are central to any future alternative energy paradigm. The ability to probe the redox mechanisms occurring at electrodes during their operation is essential to improve battery performances. Here we present the first report on Electron Paramagnetic Resonance operando spectroscopy and in situ imaging of a Li-ion battery using À 1 Li2Ru0.75Sn0.25O3, a high-capacity (4270 mAh g ) Li-rich layered oxide, as positive electrode. By monitoring operando the electron paramagnetic resonance signals of Ru5 þ and paramagnetic oxygen species, we unambiguously prove the formation of reversible n À (O2) species that contribute to their high capacity. In addition, we visualize by imaging with micrometric resolution the plating/stripping of Li at the negative electrode and highlight the zones of nucleation and growth of Ru5 þ /oxygen species at the positive electrode. This efficient way to locate ‘electron’-related phenomena opens a new area in the field of battery characterization that should enable future breakthroughs in battery research. 1 Colle`ge de France, 11 Rue, Place Marcelin Berthelot, 75231 Paris, France. 2 Sorbonne Universite´s, UPMC Univ Paris 06, 4 Place Jussieu, F-75005 Paris, France. 3 LRCS, CNRS UMR 7314, Universite´ de Picardie Jules Verne, 80039 Amiens, France. 4 CNRS, CEMHTI (UPR3079), Universite´ d’Orle´ans, 45071 Orleans, France.

Despite significant advances in developing new electrocatalysts, this system still lacks enough energy conversion efficiency to become a viable technology for industrial applications. To develop an active and selective electrocatalyst and engineer the reaction environment to achieve high energy conversion efficiency, we need to improve our knowledge of the reaction mechanism and material structure under reaction conditions. In situ spectroscopies are among the most powerful tools which enable measurements of the system under real conditions. These methods provide information about reaction intermediates and possible reaction pathways, electrocatalyst structure and active sites, as well as the effect of the reaction environment on products distribution. This review aims to highlight the utilization of in situ spectroscopic methods that enhance our understanding of the CO2 reduction reaction. Infrared, Raman, X-ray absorption, X-ray photoelectron, and mass spectroscopies are discussed here. The critical challenges associated with current state-of-the-art systems are identified and insights on emerging prospects are discussed.

  • Trend in Operando Nanoscale Characterization Using Scanning Probe Microscopy
    SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT NEWS 2017 Vol. 8 MARCH Technical magazine of Electron Microscope and Analytical Instruments. Article Trend in Operando Nanoscale Characterization using Scanning Probe Microscopy Daisuke Fujita Executive Vice President National Institute for Materials Science 1. Introduction Fine-grain control of the structure of materials is widely regarded as a crucial technology undergirding innovation in materials science. Today, thanks to nanotechnology initiatives launched at the beginning of the 21st century, materials and device elements with a fi ne grain structure can be produced and distributed as nano-products. According to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS), prototype development for LSI chips with 10-nm gate lengths is already underway, and single-digit nanoscale elements are expected to become a reality within the next few years. The number of dopant atoms that can be present in the channel of this sort of nanosized transistor is on the order of 1. Developments like these dictate that, by necessity, cutting-edge nanoscale measurement technologies with single-atom resolution will become standard, and will be essential for innovation to occur. Measurement technologies that allow single-atom analysis in real space include transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning probe microscopy (SPM). In 2001, Fujita et al. proposed combining environmental conditions, known as “active manipulation” to yield a next- generation nanoscale measurement technique for materials research.1) In this paradigm, the environmental conditions in which a material was fabricated, or in which it expresses the desired functionality, are replicated in order to analyze the mechanisms of functional expression and the material fabrication process at the nanoscale.
