Oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of light alkanes catalyzed by metal oxides is considered to be a thermodynamically favorable process for olefin production. The strong interaction between the unoccupied d-orbital atom and π-electrons olefins, however, leads deep oxidation CO2, especially at elevated temperatures. challenge lies in development selective low-temperature active catalysts avoid such unwanted oxidation. Here, we report unambiguous evidence on properly prepared mesoporous...

Calcium-metal batteries (CMBs) provide a promising option for high-energy and cost-effective energy-storage technology beyond the current state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, development of room-temperature CMBs is significantly impeded by poor reversibility short lifespan calcium-metal anode. A solvation manipulation strategy reported to improve plating/stripping anodes enhancing desolvation kinetics calcium ions in electrolyte. The introduction lithium salt changes...

Five-coordinated Als (Al(V)) on the surface of aluminas play important roles when they are used as catalysts or catalyst supports. However, comprehensive characterization and understanding intrinsic structural properties Al(V) remain a challenge, due to very small amount in commonly aluminas. Herein, structures γ-Al2O3 Al(V)-rich Al2O3 nanosheets (Al2O3-NS) have been investigated compared detail by multinuclear high-field solid-state NMR. Thanks high resolution sensitivity ultra-high-field...

PtFe catalysts have demonstrated their unique properties in the hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds, but promotion effect Fe is still under debate. Herein, a series Pt/Fe-TiO2 with controllable dispersion and similar Pt particle size were prepared as model to elucidate role selective furfural furfuryl alcohol. The catalytic data suggest that states significantly affect performance dispersed oligomers ca. 20-fold more active than Pt/TiO2. combined results reaction kinetic analysis...

The reaction mechanism of solid-acid-catalyzed phenol alkylation with cyclohexanol and cyclohexene in the apolar solvent decalin has been studied using situ 13C MAS NMR spectroscopy. Phenol sets only after a majority is dehydrated to cyclohexene. As show similar adsorption strength, this strict sequence not caused by limited access cyclohexanol, but due absence reactive electrophile as long significant fraction present. isotope labeling demonstrates that electrophile, cyclohexyl carbenium...

Aluminum site changes of dehydrated H-Beta zeolite during a rehydration process are systematically investigated by 27Al MAS and MQ NMR at high magnetic field up to 19.9 T. Benefiting from the field, more detailed information is obtained considerably broadened overlapped spectra zeolite. Dynamic aluminum sites demonstrated process. In completely H-Beta, invisible aluminums can reach 29%. The strength quadrupole interactions for framework decreases gradually progressive water adsorption...

Layered RUB-36 and PREFER (lamellar precursor of ferrierite) are the precursors CDO FER-type zeolites, respectively. Both composed same ferrierite (FER) layer building blocks. Topotactic conversion from to pure silica zeolite ZSM-35 has been demonstrated in presence a surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH). The transformation mechanism this process was revealed, for first time, by detailed investigations powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal...
