Abstract
As an important ingredient, propylene is well converted into different industrial products, especially for C3 oxygen-containing compounds. However, traditional thermal catalysis not only increases the cost due to operation conditions of high temperature and high pressure, but also results in production of carbon dioxide via complete oxidation. Benefitting from mild operation condition and clean electric energy, electrocatalysis heaves in sight. Voltage regulation is used to enhance the selectivity of products and prevent excessive electrocatalytic oxidation of propylene (EOP) into carbon dioxide. Moreover, Pd, Ag, Pt-based materials have been constructed to promote kinetic rate and reduce the overpotential. This mini review summarizes influence of structure regulation on activity and stability of EOP, including adsorption-activation, reaction mechanism, structure-activity relationship, etc. Moreover, the challenges such as controlling selective electrocatalysis, simplifying the synthesis process and advanced techniques for characterizations are proposed. This review will inspire more researchers to design superior electrocatalysts to optimize their EOP performance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
