Abstract

Supported transition metal-catalyzed chemical upcycling of polyolefins by hydrogenolysis typically occurs in a polymer melt phase at elevated temperatures (T > 200°C). Currently, the impact of the melt phase on the catalytic activity and selectivity of the transition metal is largely unknown. Here, we use a hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) approach to investigate the melt-phase effects on the adsorption free energy ( ${Δ Δ G}_{A d s o r b a t e}^{g a s \to l i q}$ ${Δ Δ G}_{A d s o r b a t e}^{g a s \to l i q}$ ) of atomic hydrogen, 12 hydrocarbon molecules, and 4 transition states in the hydrogenolysis mechanism of butane on a Pt(111) catalyst surface at 573 K in the presence of a polyethylene surrogate melt consisting of C₃₆H₇₄ chains. The smallest and largest endergonic melt phase effects, ${Δ Δ G}_{A d s o r b a t e}^{g a s \to l i q}$ ${Δ Δ G}_{A d s o r b a t e}^{g a s \to l i q}$ , belong to hydrogen (0.045 eV) and butane (1.357 eV). Overall, we find that melt-phase effects are significant and change the activity of transition metal catalysts. Beyond an overall reduced adsorption strength, elementary surface reactions are also affected by the melt phase.

聚烯烃熔相对铂催化剂上烷烃氢解的影响

支持过渡金属催化的聚烯烃氢解化学升循环通常在高温（T > 200°C）下的聚合物熔融相中进行。目前，熔融相对过渡金属催化活性和选择性的影响尚不清楚。在此，我们采用量子力学/分子力学（QM/MM）混合方法研究了在 573 K 下，由 C36H74 链组成的聚乙烯代用熔体存在时，丁烷在 Pt(111) 催化剂表面的氢解机理中，熔相对原子氢、12 个碳氢化合物分子和 4 个过渡态的吸附自由能（ΔΔGAdsorbategas→liqΔΔGAdsorbategas→liq）的影响。最小和最大的内能熔相效应ΔΔGAdsorbategas→liqΔΔGAdsorbategas→liq分别属于氢（0.045 eV）和丁烷（1.357 eV）。总之，我们发现熔相效应非常显著，会改变过渡金属催化剂的活性。除了整体吸附强度降低之外，基本表面反应也受到熔融相的影响。
