Hydride species on oxide catalysts

J Phys Condens Matter. 2021 Aug 12;33(43). doi: 10.1088/1361-648X/ac17ad.

Abstract

Hydride species on oxide catalysts are widely involved in oxide-catalyzed reactions, and relevant fundamental understanding is important to establish reaction mechanisms and structure-performance relations of oxide catalysts. In this topical review, recent progresses on the formation and reactivity of hydride species on the surface or in the bulk of oxides are briefly summarized. Firstly, characterization techniques for hydride species are introduced. Secondly, formation of hydride species on the surface or in the bulk of various oxides and their reactivity in oxide-catalyzed hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions are reviewed. Finally, short summary and outlook are given.

Keywords: H2; dehydrogenation; heterogeneous catalysis; hydrocarbon; hydrogenation; surface chemistry.
