impregnation with RuCl3, dried, calcined at 300 C for 2.5 h. After
reduction, the catalyst Ru^Ni/AC was obtained.
Characterizations. HRTEM, STEM-HAADF and STEM-EDX
(JEM-2100F) were carried out to observe the morphology, the
particle size distribution and element distribution of the catalyst.
Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were conducted on a
D/tex-Ultima TV wide angle X-ray diffractometer equipped with
Cu Ka radiation (40 kV, 30 mA, 1.54 Å). X-ray photoelectron
spectra (XPS) were recorded on an ESCALAB MARK II spherical
analyzer using an aluminum-magnesium binode (Al 1486.6 eV, Mg
1253.6 eV) X-ray source. The binding energies were corrected
with reference to C 1s line at 284.5 eV. Temperature programmed
reduction (TPR) was performed on a quartz reactor connected to
a thermal conductivity detector (TCD) under an atmosphere of 10%
H2/Ar from room temperature to 500 oC at a heating rate 10
oC/min. Temperature programmed desorption of ammonia
(NH3-TPD) was conducted to study the surface acidity of catalysts.
Catalytic Tests. All hydrogenation reactions were carried out
in a 50 mL stainless steel autoclave equipped with a magnetic
stirrer. In a typical process, the mixture of reactant, additive,
internal standard (isooctane), solvent (isopropanol) and powder
catalyst was introduced into the sealed autoclave. The autoclave
was purged with H2 three times to remove any remaining air and
then pressurized to 6 MPa with H2. The reactor was heated to
reaction temperature and the reaction was allowed to proceed
for a certain time. After completion of the reaction, the mixture
was separated by centrifugation. The resulting solution was
analyzed by GC-FID and the products were identified by GC-MS.
Computational Setup. The calculations are performed by
using periodic, spin-polarized DFT as implemented in Vienna ab
initio program package (VASP).[38,39] The electron-ion interactions
are described by the projector augmented wave (PAW) method
proposed by Blöchl[40] and implemented by Kresse.[41] RPBE
functional[42] is used as exchange-correlation functional
approximation. A plane wave basis set with an energy cutoff of
400 eV is used. A p (5×5) surpercell containing a four-layer slab
with 100 atoms was modeled as catalyst and (0001) plane is
considered as the active surface. a (2×2×1) k-point grid is used for
the Brillouin zone sampling. The periodic condition is employed
along the x and y direction. The vacuum space along the z
direction was set to be 13 Å. The upper two layer atoms in the cell
are allowed to relax during the structure optimization, while the
bottom two layer atoms are fixed. The relaxation is stopped when
the force residue on the atom is smaller than 0.02 eV/ Å. The
transition states are calculated by using the climbing image
nudged elastic band (CI-NEB) method.[43]
