[1] Highly active Pd containing EMT zeolite catalyst for indirect   oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyl carbonate

Green and sustainable manufacture of valuable commercial chemicals based   on C1 chemistry   via one-carbon feedstocks from abundant carbon   resources such as shale gas and coal, is an emerging alternative to the   petroleum routes. Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is a green, versatile compound which   can be used as a methylating and methoxycarbonylating agent, fuel additive,   electrolyte liquid carrier for lithium-ion batteries, as well as for polycarbonate and isocyanate syntheses.

Palladium containing EMT zeolite catalyst (Pd/EMT) was prepared and   used for the indirect oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyl   carbonate (DMC). The EMT zeolite was employed as a new catalyst support and   compared with the conventional Pd containing FAU zeolite catalyst (Pd/FAU).   The Pd/EMT in contrast to the Pd/FAU catalyst exhibited high intrinsic   activity with the turnover frequency of 0.25 s^-1vs. 0.11 s^-1. The Pd/EMT catalyst showed high CO conversion   of 82% and DMC selectivity of 79%, that maintained for at least 130 h, while   the activity of the Pd/FAU catalyst rapidly deteriorated within 12 h. The   enhanced interactions between Pd and EMT zeolite inhibited the sintering of   palladium clusters and maintained the Pd²⁺ active sites in the   Pd/EMT catalyst. The stabilization of the mono-dispersed Pd clusters within   the EMT zeolite is paramount to the excellent performance of the catalyst for   the indirect oxidative carbonylation of methanol to DMC.

[2]Mechanical pressure-mediated Pd active   sites formation in NaY zeolite catalysts for indirect oxidative carbonylation   of methanol to dimethyl carbonate

The structural transformation of metal-containing zeolite catalysts   subjected to mechanical compression is often disregarded in the preparation of   catalysts. Herein, the impact of the mechanical compression on the catalytic   active sites of Pd/NaY catalysts responsible for the indirect oxidative   carbonylation of methanol to dimethyl carbonate (DMC) has been disclosed. The DMC selectivity of the catalysts was found to   strongly depend on the mechanical-pressure applied, as the mechanical   pressure controlled the ratio of Pd^(2+d)+ and Pd^d+ species (0 <d£ 2) in the   catalysts. The mono-dispersed   Pd clusters (1.3 nm) in the Pd/NaY catalyst were   obtained under mechanical treatment of 300 MPa. This catalyst showed   high CO conversion of 89% and DMC selectivity of 83%, that maintained for at   least 150 h.Combining experimental and density functional   theory studies, we revealed that the Pd^d+ rather than   the Pd^(2+d)+ species   enhanced the adsorption of CO and CH₃ONO   reactants and inhibited the decomposition of CH₃ONO   reactant into byproducts, and thus enhanced the DMC selectivity.The mechanical pressure applied had a noticeable   effect on the structural features of the metal-containing zeolite catalysts,   but despite its importance, this aspect has been poorly considered in   the field of heterogenous catalysis.
