Abstract

:
We report a facile synthetic strategy for nickel-doped palladium-iron oxide hybrid nanoparticles with controllable morphology. In this synthetic method, the morphology of the nanoparticles was regulated by the amount of triphenylphosphine used. When 1 mmol of triphenylphosphine was used as a capping agent, the main morphology of the nanoparticles was crumpled balls composed of nanosheets with an average particle size of 215 nm. The nanoparticles showed higher catalytic activity in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction than did other nanoparticles at equal amounts of Pd. This strategy allowed the reduction of the Pd loading in hybrid nanoparticles while still providing the performance level required for the reaction.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

In recent years, the fabrication of metal hybrid nanoparticles has been widely accepted as one method to increase the catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability of metal nanoparticles [1,2,3]. The catalytic performances of metal hybrid nanoparticles can be tuned by controlling the elemental distribution in the surface, intermetallic charge transfer, and lattice strain [4]. Hybrid nanoparticles of non-precious metals and noble metals are especially important from the economic point of view for reducing production costs. Hybridization of noble and non-precious metals has improved catalytic activity and increased resistance to poisonous substances [5]. These hybrid nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using a variety of methods such as galvanic replacement [6], thermal annealing [7], templated growth [8], and microwave-assisted reduction [9].
Among these methods, one of the most successful in terms of controlling the morphology and size of nanoparticles is the solution-phase method [10]. In this method, the use of specific capping agents can have a significant impact on the morphology and size of nanoparticles. The introduction of specific capping agents such as Br−, poly(1-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one), and citrate can affect the energy changes of certain crystal planes and their relative growth rates through chemical interactions with the metal surface [11,12,13]. Recent studies on the regulation of void sizes and morphologies using triphenylphosphine (TPP) have also been reported [14,15,16].
According to recent studies, Pd can be alloyed with 3d transition metals (Cu, Ni, Co, Fe), and the catalytic properties of hybrid nanoparticles in various reactions can be superior [17,18,19,20,21,22,23]. In particular, Pd-Ni alloys have shown excellent catalytic efficiency in various reactions owing to a synergistic effect [24,25]. This is attributed to the good miscibility between Ni and Pd due to their similar crystal structures and electron configurations [26,27]. In addition, enhancement of the catalytic activity of a Pd alloy through d-band shifts has been demonstrated using density functional theory [28].
Pd-catalyzed carbon–carbon cross-coupling reactions—such as the Suzuki–Miyaura, Heck, and Sonogashira reactions—are important in many types of organic synthesis processes of enormous interest and applications such as those of the chemical and bio industries [29,30,31]. In particular, the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of aryl halides with arylboronic acids has been widely used in industry as well as in laboratories owing to its applicability to substrates with a various functional groups and nontoxic by-products [32,33]. Recently, Wu et al. investigated the use of Pd-Ni nanoparticles with a controlled size and morphology in the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction [26]. The Pd-Ni nanoparticles showed higher catalytic activity in this reaction than an equal amount of Pd nanoparticles.
Herein, we report Ni-doped Pd-Fe3O4 hybrid nanoparticles (NPFNPs) with a controlled morphology, obtained through one-pot synthesis (Scheme 1), as an effective catalyst system for Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of aryl halides with arylboronic acids. This method enabled the reduction of the Pd loading in hybrid nanoparticles while still providing the performance level required for this reaction.

2. Results and Discussion

Pd-Fe3O4 hybrid nanoparticles were synthesized according to a procedure reported in our previous papers [34,35]. Then, the NPFNPs were synthesized according to a modification of the procedure described by Lee et al. [36]. A mixture of Pd(OAc)2 and completely dissolved TPP in 1-octadecene and oleylamine was heated at 160 °C with vigorous magnetic stirring for 30 min. Then, nickel (II) acetylacetonate (Ni(acac)2) in oleylamine was syringed dropwise into the mixture. The resultant mixture was further heated at 200 °C for 30 min. The mixture was cooled down to RT and then centrifuged with hexane and ethanol.
The synthesized nanoparticles took the form of crumpled balls composed of nanosheets (Figure 1). In this method, the morphology of the nanoparticles was regulated by the amount of TPP. When 0.5 mmol of TPP was used for the synthesis, the main morphology of the products (NPFNP-1) was spherical with a rough surface (average particle diameter = 244 ± 38 nm), as shown in Figure 1a,d. When the amount of TPP was increased to 1 mmol, the main morphology of the products (NPFNP-2) changed to a more remarkable nanosheet shape at the corners (average particle diameter = 215 ± 17 nm), as shown in Figure 1b,c. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) images of individual nanoparticles indicated that the morphology of the nanoparticles is crumpled nanosheets with well-defined fringes (Figure 1e,f). They also revealed line spacings of approximately 0.20 nm for Pd (111) and approximately 0.29 nm for Fe3O4 (220), corresponding to face-centered cubic Pd and Fe3O4 structures, respectively. Recently, Wu et al. reported tuning the amount of trioctylphosphine to control the morphology of PdCu nanoparticles [16]. The amount of capping agent can play an important role in the morphology-controlled synthesis of nanoparticles. Under thermodynamically controlled growth, the capping agent is selectively adsorbed on different facets of the metals, resulting in changes in the surface energy and growth rate of the nanoparticles [37]. When an excess amount was used, however, the crumpled ball morphology of the nanoparticles gradually collapsed. Hence, it was concluded that a proper concentration of TPP is essential for the control of the morphology of the NPFNPs, since the surface coverage of TPP changes with the concentration.
The high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) micrographs and their corresponding energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mappings show that Pd and the 3d transition metals (Fe, Ni) were well distributed in individual nanoparticles (Figure 2). The metal contents of the fabricated nanoparticles were also measured using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) (Table 1). The Pd and Ni contents in NPFNP-2 were slightly higher than those in NPFNP-1. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was carried out to further measure the chemical composition of NPFNP-2. The XPS spectrum of Pd in Figure 3a shows double peaks at binding energies (BEs) of 335.1 and 340.3 eV, corresponding to Pd 3d5/2 and Pd 3d3/2, respectively. The BEs of the doublet for Pd 3d5/2 and Pd 3d3/2 are characteristic of Pd0. Figure 3b shows the XPS signals of the Fe 2p regions, which indicate that Fe2+ and Fe3+ formed Fe3O4. The spectrum of Fe shows two peaks at around 710.9 and 724.8 eV, which could be attributed to Fe 2p3/2 and Fe 2p1/2, respectively. The presence of satellite peaks for γ-Fe2O3 at around 719 eV indicated that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were partially oxidized. Furthermore, the BE of 2p3/2 (855.4 eV), shown in Figure 3c, is characteristic of Ni0 and Ni2+. This indicated that the Ni nanoparticles were partially oxidized owing to exposure to air.
Next, we examined the catalytic properties of the nanoparticles in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction. The Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction was carried out using bromobenzene and phenylboronic acid in a mixture of ethanol and water (1:1) at 50 °C. Potassium carbonate was used as a base to serve as a bridge to connect the substrates and NPFNPs. Figure 4 shows the yields of the products and turnover frequencies (TOFs, defined as the number of molecules produced at each mole of Pd in the nanoparticles per unit time) for the reactions involving NPFNP-1, NPFNP-2, and Pd-Fe3O4 as the catalyst under the above conditions. The amount of NPFNP-1 used as a catalyst was 0.25 mol % of nickel relative to the substrate. The amounts of the other nanoparticles were equal to that of NPFNP-1, in terms of their weights. As shown in Figure 4b, NPFNP-2 exhibited relatively high catalytic activity compared to NPFNP-1 and Pd-Fe3O4 with the same amount of Pd. The superior catalytic performance of NPFNP-2 can be attributed to a higher number of surface defects due to changes in morphology [38] and synergistic effects of the individual components [39,40]. Additionally, the reaction was carried out using 4-bromoanisole instead of bromobenzene as a substrate to prove that the reaction of catalyzed by NPFNP-2 occurred by cross coupling (Table S1). In this reaction, conversion was lower than that of bromobenzene due to the effect of methoxy, which is an electron donating group. Whether the reaction proceeded by homo coupling or cross coupling was confirmed through the products, and most of the reaction proceeded by cross coupling reaction (selectivity: 97%). Scheme 2 shows a plausible reaction mechanism for the NPFNP-2-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction based on previous works. The surface defects of the nanocatalysts acting as active sites have a significant effect on adsorption and activity during the reactions. Furthermore, since Pd is negatively charged owing to charge transfer from Ni to Pd (electronegativity of Ni = 1.91, Pd = 2.20) [40], the oxidative addition of the aryl halide is facilitated and the catalytic activity for the reaction is enhanced. For this reason, the morphology changes and the introduction of Ni led to a reduction in the Pd loading in the hybrid nanoparticles.

3. Materials and Methods

3.1. Materials

Palladium(II) acetate (Pd(OAc)2, 98%), 1-octadecene (ODE, 90%), oleylamine (OAm, 70%), iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5), bromobenzene (99% pure), and phenylboronic acid (95%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Inc. (St. Louis, MO, USA). TPP was purchased from Yakuri Pure Chemicals Co. Ltd. (Uji, Japan). Ni(acac)2 was purchased from Fluka Chemical Corp. (Buchs, Switzerland).

3.2. Typical Synthetic Method of Ni Doped Pd-Fe3O4 Hybrid Nanoparticles (NPFNPs)

NPFNPs were synthesized using a thermal decomposition and reduction method in a solution-phase system. We added 0.131 (for the fabrication of NPFNP-1) or 0.262 g (for the fabrication of NPFNP-2) of TPP to 10 mL of ODE, and the mixture was heated at 80 °C with vigorous magnetic stirring under an Ar atmosphere to dissolve the TPP completely. The solution was then cooled down to 60 °C and a mixture of 0.114 g of Pd(OAc)2 and 10 mL of OAm was added. Then, the mixture was heated to 120 °C with vigorous magnetic stirring with a heating rate of 6 °C min−1 and was maintained at this temperature for 30 min. Afterwards, 0.15 mL of Fe(CO)5 was put into the mixture under an Ar atmosphere. Then, the mixture was heated to 160 °C with vigorous magnetic stirring with a heating rate of 4.2 °C min−1 and was maintained at this temperature for 30 min. For the doping of Ni on Pd-Fe3O4, 0.121 g of Ni(acac)2 in 10 mL of OAm was syringed dropwise into the mixture. The resultant mixture was further heated to 200 °C with a heating rate of 2.8 °C min−1 and was maintained at this temperature for 30 min. The resultant mixture was cooled down to room temperature (R.T.), centrifuged with hexane and ethanol twice, and then dried in vacuum.

3.3. General Procedure for Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling Reactions

To a 10-mL pressure Schlenk tube we added 1.3 mg of NPFNPs (0.3 mol % with respect to the Pd content of NPFNP-1), 0.10 mL of bromobenzene (1.0 mmol), 0.14 g of phenylboronic acid (1.2 mmol), 0.28 g of potassium carbonate (2.0 mmol), and 6.0 mL of a mixture of ethanol and water (1:1). The mixture was stirred vigorously at 50 °C. After 1 h, the catalyst was removed and the reaction mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. Water was removed using MgSO4, and the filtrate was evaporated to give the reaction products. The reaction products were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS, QP-2010 SE, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan).

3.4. Catalyst Characterization

The morphologies and structures of the nanoparticles were examined using high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM, Tecnai TF30 ST and a Titan3 G2 60–300, FEI Company, Hillsboro, OR, USA) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM, CZ/MIRA I LMH, TESCAN, Brno, Czech Republic). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) elemental mapping data were collected using a high-efficiency detection system (Super-X detector). The structural and chemical properties of the nanoparticles were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, Theta Probe, Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA). An inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES, iCAP 6300, Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA) was employed to determine the actual metallic element contents.

4. Conclusions

In conclusion, Ni-doped Pd-Fe3O4 hybrid nanoparticles (NPFNPs) whose morphologies were controlled by tuning the amount of TPP were synthesized through one-pot synthesis. When 1 mmol of TPP was used as a capping agent, the main morphology of the product, NPFNP-2, was prominent crumpled balls composed of nanosheets with an average particle size of 215 nm. NPFNP-2 exhibited higher catalytic activity than did other nanoparticles at the same amount of Pd. The superior catalytic performance of NPFNP-2 can be attributed to a higher number of surface defects due to changes in morphology and synergistic effects of the individual components. These results are expected to contribute to the development of economical and effective nanocatalysts that can reduce production costs.
