大連化物所催化基礎國家重點實驗室鄧德會研究員、包信和院士團隊在碳一分子催化轉化方面的研究工作引起國內(nèi)外同行的廣泛關注。近日，該團隊受邀發(fā)表了題為“Catalysis for Selected C1 Chemistry”的前瞻性文章。
The research work of Deng Dehui, a researcher in the State Key Laboratory of Catalysis Foundation of Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, and Bao Xinhe, an academician team, in the field of carbon molecule catalytic conversion has attracted extensive attention from peers at home and abroad. Recently, the team was invited to publish a prospective article titled "Catalysis for Selected C1 Chemistry".
全球化石資源的逐漸消耗帶來了日益嚴峻的環(huán)境污染問題，尋求低碳排放且高效轉化碳一分子（CH4、CO2、CO、CH3OH等）為燃料或高值化學品的途徑尤為重要。然而，由于碳一分子的化學性質(zhì)差異大，如CH4、CO2等相對惰性；CH3OH、CO等相對活潑，在平衡轉化率和選擇性等方面存在一定的限制。目前工業(yè)上的碳一轉化過程存在能耗高、步驟多、產(chǎn)品分離工藝復雜等問題。因此，探索溫和條件下碳一分子定向轉化技術是一個迫切但又極具挑戰(zhàn)的課題。
The gradual consumption of global fossil resources has brought increasingly severe environmental pollution problems, and it is particularly important to seek low-carbon emissions and efficient ways to convert carbon molecules (CH4, CO2, CO, CH3OH, etc.) into fuels or high-value chemicals. However, due to the significant differences in chemical properties of carbon molecules, such as CH4, CO2, etc., they are relatively inert; CH3OH, CO, etc. are relatively active and have certain limitations in terms of equilibrium conversion rate and selectivity. At present, the industrial carbon one conversion process has problems such as high energy consumption, multiple steps, and complex product separation processes. Therefore, exploring the technology of carbon one molecule directed conversion under mild conditions is an urgent but highly challenging topic.
該文章系統(tǒng)評述了該研究團隊與國際同行近十年來在碳一分子轉化方面的最新進展和重要突破，特別關注了新的催化反應過程，包括溫和條件下的熱催化、電催化、光催化轉化過程，以及多能耦合催化轉化過程等，并詳細討論了碳一催化化學的關鍵挑戰(zhàn)及未來發(fā)展方向。
This article systematically reviews the latest progress and important breakthroughs of the research team and international peers in the conversion of carbon one molecules in the past decade, with a particular focus on new catalytic reaction processes, including thermal catalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalytic conversion under mild conditions, and multi energy coupling catalytic conversion processes. It also discusses in detail the key challenges and future development directions of carbon one catalytic chemistry.
