Abstract:
The conversion of H2S to high-value-added products is appealing for alleviating environmental pollution and realizing resource utilization. Herein, we report the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline using waste H2S as a 'hydrogen donor' over the catalyst of FeCeO2−δ with abundant oxygen vacancies (Ov), especially an asymmetric oxygen vacancy (ASOv). The electron-rich nature of the ASOv sites facilitates electron transfer to the electron-deficient nitro group, promoting the adsorption and activation of Ph-NO2 through the elongation and cleavage of the N-O bond. Benefiting from the formation of abundant ASOv sites, the resulting FeCeO2−δ achieves an impressive 85.6% Ph-NO2 conversion and 81.9% Ph-NH2 selectivity at 1.5 MPa and 90 °C, which surpasses that of pure CeO2 with flower and rod morphologies. In situ FT-IR measurements combined with density functional theory calculations have elucidated a plausible reaction mechanism and a rate-limiting step in the hydrogenation of Ph-NO2 by H2S. © 2024 American Chemical Society.
