Transition metal (cerium and cobalt) doped γ-MnO2 (M-γ-MnO2, where M represents Ce, Co) catalysts were successfully synthesized characterized. Cerium-doped materials showed ozone (O3) conversion of 96% for 40 ppm O3 under relative humidity (RH) 65% space velocity 840 L g–1 h–1 after 6 h at room temperature, which is far superior to the performance Co-γ-MnO2 (55%) (38%) catalysts. Under h–1, over Ce-γ-MnO2 catalyst RH = dry conditions within 96 was 60% 100%, respectively, indicating that it a...
The structure of dispersed vanadyl species plays a crucial role in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) NO with NH3 over vanadia-based catalysts. Here, we demonstrate that polymeric have markedly higher NH3-SCR activity than monomeric species. coupling effect not only shortens reaction pathway for regeneration redox sites but also substantially reduces overall barrier cycle. Therefore, it is species, rather determine catalysts, especially under low-temperature conditions. SCR mechanism...
The electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 (CO2ER) to liquid fuels is important for solving fossil fuel depletion. However, insufficient insight into the reaction mechanisms renders a lack effective regulation product selectivity.

Direct spectroscopic evidence preliminary intermediates, *COOH and *OCO-, indicates that coordinated catalyst via...
Ammonia (NH3) has potentially harmful effects on human health and recently been found to be an important factor in the formation of haze; thus, its emission control is urgent, especially during haze pollution periods. In this work, two kinds Ag/Al2O3 catalysts with different Al2O3 particle sizes (micro-Al2O3 nano-Al2O3) were prepared tested for selective catalytic oxidation ammonia (NH3-SCO). It was shown that Ag/nano-Al2O3 much more active than Ag/micro-Al2O3 NH3-SCO low-temperature range....
Mn-based oxides exhibit outstanding low-temperature activity for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR) compared other catalysts. However, underlying principle responsible excellent is not yet clear. Here, atomic-level mechanism and activity-limiting factor in NH3-SCR process over Mn-, Fe-, Ce-based oxide catalysts are elucidated by a combination first-principles calculations experimental measurements. We found that superior oxidative dehydrogenation performance toward...
We report an unrecognized but efficient nonradical mechanism in biochar-activated peroxydisulfate (PDS) systems. Combining a newly developed fluorescence trapper of reactive oxygen species with steady-state concentration calculations, we showed that raising pyrolysis temperatures biochar (BC) from 400 to 800 °C remarkably enhanced trichlorophenol degradation inhibited the catalytic production radicals (SO4•– and •OH) water soil, thereby switching radical-based activation into...

After Na addition, terminal hydroxyl groups HO-μter) on nano-Al2O3 were transformed doubly bridging...
CeO2 has attracted much attention in the field of selective catalytic reduction NO with NH3 (NH3-SCR). However, poor low-temperature activity and a narrow operation window restrict industrial application Ce-based oxide catalysts.

State-of-the-art ion-selective membranes with ultrahigh precision are of significance for water desalination and energy conservation, but their development is limited by the lack understanding mechanisms ion transport at subnanometer scale.
