Abstract Metal–organic frameworks have drawn attention as potential catalysts owing to their unique tunable surface chemistry and accessibility. However, application in thermal catalysis has been limited because of instability under harsh temperatures pressures, such the hydrogenation CO 2 methanol. Herein, we use a controlled two-step method synthesize finely dispersed Cu on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). This catalyst suffers series transformations during methanol, leading ~14...
In the present work, nanowire morphologies of α-MnO2, cobalt monodoped Cu and Co bidoped Ni α-MnO2 samples were prepared by a facile hydrothermal synthesis. The structural, morphological, surface, redox properties all as-prepared investigated various characterization techniques, namely, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission high resolution (TEM HR-TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 sorption surface area measurements, photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),...
Stimulated by the capacity of Zn to improve adoption CO2 and CH4, we doped a Ni-supported ZrO2 catalyst with enhance its performance stability in dry reforming methane. We prepared set catalysts different Ni:Zn:Zr proportions conducted extensive ex situ characterizations prove that Ni–Zn alloy was formed at 750 °C under reductive conditions. Combining tailored morphology nanoparticles, strong metal–support (ZnO–ZrO2) interactions, additional oxygen vacancies created inclusion resulted an...
Exsolved Ni–Fe alloy perovskite catalysts exhibit remarkable coking resistance during C–H and C–O activation. However, metallic utilization is typically incomplete, resulting in relatively low catalytic activity. Herein, we investigated minimal doping with Rh to boost the activity dry reforming of methane by promoting exsolution enlargement three-phase boundary between alloy, support, reactants. The influences formation as revealed X-ray diffraction, promotes individual collective CH4 CO2...
Silicon carbide (SiC) or carborundum has unparalleled thermal stability and conductivity compared with many other materials. This feature together its unique photoelectrical properties (tunable band gap: 2.39–3.33 eV), low expansion, high strength, good chemical makes it an ideal inert solid in catalysis. The evolution of methods for synthesizing SiC also progressively endowed additional features at the multiscale. review tracks development from a secondary to leading role material First,...
Ammonia decomposition is an attractive process for decarbonized hydrogen production. Alkalis are known to promote the reaction, which especially important enable non-noble metal catalysts achieve similar performances benchmark Ru catalyst. Herein, we evaluate kinetic contribution of Ba as a promoter in Co–Ce catalysts, using microkinetic approach investigate influence on elementary steps ammonia decomposition. For this purpose, performed experiments over wide range conditions with two and...
The production of higher linear olefins via ethylene oligomerization is an applied industrial process using homogeneous catalysts in the liquid phase. Heterogeneous based on Ni supported zeolites are attractive materials for gas phase but typically offer a low selectivity or conversion. Here, we investigate tailored method to introduce Ni2+ species within hierarchical zeolite crystallization step (in situ) and compare it with standard impregnation procedure (ex situ). situ engineered...
Decarbonizing the current energy system requires a shift toward renewable sources, among which ammonia is remarkable hydrogen carrier.
Phenols are recalcitrant compounds that constitute the majority of organic contaminants in industrial wastewaters. Their removal at large scales require a combination various processes to reach desired discharge quality. An extensive body work has already been published area phenol from wastewater, however none them have focussed on truly 'sensible' approach for coupling advanced oxidation (AOPs). Rather, higher efficiency was targeted by unduly complicating process combining multiple AOPs....
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have been profusely used as catalysts for inserting CO2 into organic epoxides (i.e., epichlorohydrin) through cycloaddition. Here, we demonstrate that these materials suffer from irreversible degradation by leaching. To prove this, performed the reactions and analyzed final reaction mixtures elemental analysis resulting different microscopies. We found difference in catalytic activity between three ZIF-67 one ZIF-L was related to rate at which degraded....
