报告摘要：
A key objective of nanocatalysis research is to develop catalysts with 100% selectivity, extremely high activity, low energy consumption, and long lifetime. With this motivation, scientists and engineers have long studied particle-size effects in catalysis, in particular aiming for increasing activity and reducing or replacing noble metals. The exciting opportunities and challenges of nanocatalysis in chemical process beyond activity, in terms of remarkably improving selectivity and stability will be discussed. This can be achieved only by precisely controlling the size, shape, spatial distribution, surface composition and electronic structure, and thermal and chemical stability of the individual nanocomponents. We will discuss the strategy of engineering of the metal nanoparticle facets with particle size and shape to manipulate the low and high coordinate sites, bond length and electronic structures towards fine-tuning of not only the activity, but also the selectivity and stability simultaneously. DFT and kinetic study of the size-dependence of activity and selectivity in steam and dry methane reforming on Ni based catalysts, propane dehydrogenation and selective oxidation of hydrogen on Pt based catalysts as well as preferential CO oxidation on Pt based catalysts are addressed. We will demonstrate excellent opportunities of nanocatalysts to manipulate the surface adsorption strength and reaction pathway as well as the cluster confinement to remarkably increase the resistance for coke formation and sintering, thus the catalyst lifetime.
