Identifying the rate-determining step of the electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination reaction on palladium nanoparticles

Identifying the rate-determining step over the catalysts and clarifying the underlying mechanisms are crucial for maximizing the electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (EHDC) efficiency for detoxification of the chlorophenol pollutants in water. Here, monodisperse palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) sepa...

Description
Summary:Identifying the rate-determining step over the catalysts and clarifying the underlying mechanisms are crucial for maximizing the electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (EHDC) efficiency for detoxification of the chlorophenol pollutants in water. Here, monodisperse palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) separately supported on carbon (C) and titanium nitride (TiN) were synthesized as two model catalysts. The support effects on EHDC efficiency, kinetics and current efficiency towards 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), and the electronic structure of Pd and its binding strengths with 2,4-DCP, phenol and Cl (the primary EHDC product) were investigated by experimental and density functional theory (DFT) analyses. The low current efficiency (
