Shrnutí:The limited surface coverage and activity of active hydrides on oxide surfaces pose challenges for efficient hydrogenation reactions. Herein, we quantitatively distinguish the long-puzzling homolytic dissociation of hydrogen from the heterolytic pathway on Ga 2 O 3 , that is useful for enhancing hydrogenation ability of oxides. By combining transient kinetic analysis with infrared and mass spectroscopies, we identify the catalytic role of coordinatively unsaturated Ga 3+ in homolytic H 2 dissociation, which is formed in-situ during the initial heterolytic dissociation. This site facilitates easy hydrogen dissociation at low temperatures, resulting in a high hydride coverage on Ga 2 O 3 (H/surface Ga 3+ ratio of 1.6 and H/OH ratio of 5.6). The effectiveness of homolytic dissociation is governed by the Ga-Ga distance, which is strongly influenced by the initial coordination of Ga 3+ . Consequently, by tuning the coordination of active Ga 3+ species as well as the coverage and activity of hydrides, we achieve enhanced hydrogenation of CO 2 to CO, methanol or light olefins by 4-6 times. Zhu et al. report a quantitative and time-resolved analysis of hydrogen activation on Ga 2 O 3 , specifically shedding light on the long-standing puzzle of homolytic dissociation as opposed to the heterolytic pathway on oxides.
