Abstract:
Achieving a precise understanding and accurate design of heterogeneous catalysts based on bioinspired principles is challenging yet crucial to digging out optimal materials for artificial catalysis. Here, an ADH-mimicking dual-site photocatalyst (YCuCdS) is developed, and demonstrates the powerful effects of atomic site configuration and proton transfer environments on alcohol-amine coupling. Mechanism studies reveal that the alcohol substrate is effectively dehydrogenated at the Y sites, forming the carbonyl intermediates that rapidly experience condensation with the amine. Meanwhile, the released hydrogen species (H-ads) migrate from adjacent Cu sites to active S atoms, promoting H-2 production and hindering the over-hydrogenation of imine. As a result, a high imine yield of 92% is achieved, along with an H-2 production rate of 7400 mu mol g(-1) h(-1). This work showcases an effective strategy for the design of heterogeneous catalysts with bioinspiration.
