Paradigm Shift in Mechanistic Understanding and Catalyst Design for Heterogeneous Ethylene Methoxycarbonylation

Key Points

The aim is to improve the understanding and design of catalysts for heterogeneous ethylene methoxycarbonylation.
Performance comparison of a new catalyst against Ru and Pt catalysts
Evaluation of stability over 180 hours
Measurement of turnover number exceeding 200,000.
The new catalyst is over 80 times more active than Ru nanocatalysts.
It exhibits 6 times the activity of Pt single-atom catalysts.
Stability was maintained over 180 hours, indicating substantial longevity.

Abstract

catalyst shows over 80 times higher activity than Ru nanocatalysts and 6 times that of Pt single-atom catalysts. It also demonstrates exceptional stability over 180 h, with a turnover number exceeding 200,000, surpassing all known heterogeneous ethylene methoxycarbonylation catalysts and rivaling Pd catalysts.
