摘要：Dual-active sites (DASs) catalysts have positive potential applications in broad fields because of their specific active sites and synergistic catalytic effects. Therefore, the controllable synthesis and finely regulating the activity of such catalysts has become a hot research area for now. In this work, we developed a pyrolysis-etching-hydrogen activation strategy to prepare the DASs catalysts involving single-atom Cu and B on N-doped porous carbon material (Cu1-B/NPC). Numerous systematic characterization and density functional theoretical (DFT) calculation results showed that the Cu and B existed as Cu-N4 porphyrin-like unit and B-N3 unit in the obtained catalyst. DFT calculations further revealed that single-atom Cu and B sites were linked by bridging N atoms to form the Cu1-B-N6 dual-sites. The Cu1-B/NPC catalyst was more effective than the single-active site catalysts with B-N3 sites in NPC (B/NPC) and Cu-N4 porphyrin-like sites in NPC (Cu1/NPC), respectively, for the dehydrogenative coupling of dimethylphenylsilane (DiMPSH) with various alcohols, performing the great activity (> 99%) and selectivity (> 99%). The catalytic performances of the Cu1-B/NPC catalyst remained nearly unchanged after five cycles, also indicating its outstanding recyclability. DFT calculations showed that the Cu1-B-N6 dual-sites exhibited the lowest energy profile on the potential energy surface than that of sole B-N3 and Cu-N4 porphyrin-like sites. Furthermore, the rate-limiting step of dehydrogenation of DiMPSH on Cu1-B-N6 dual-sites also showed a much lower activation energy than the other two single sites. Benefitting from the superiority of the Cu1-B-N6 dual-sites, the Cu1-B/NPC catalyst can also be used for CO2 electroreduction to produce syngas. Thus, DASs catalysts are promising to achieve multifunctional catalytic properties and have aroused positive attention in the field of catalysis.
