Several lanthanum oxide-modified Cu/SiO2 (La-Cu/SiO2) catalysts synthesized by urea-assisted gelation and postimpregnation were used for the vapor-phase chemoselective hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) into ethylene glycol (EG). The 1.0La-Cu/SiO2-u catalyst with 1.0 wt % La loading was found to have highest activity, whereas higher at 3.0 adversely affected deterioration catalytic activity. H2-TPR results revealed that strong interactions between promoters Cu species substantially...
Bulk chemicals such as ethylene glycol (EG) can be industrially synthesized from either or syngas, but the latter undergoes a bottleneck reaction and requires high hydrogen pressures. We show that fullerene (exemplified by C60) act an electron buffer for copper-silica catalyst (Cu/SiO2). Hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate over C60-Cu/SiO2 at ambient pressure temperatures 180° to 190°C had EG yield up 98 ± 1%. In kilogram-scale reaction, no deactivation was seen after 1000 hours. This mild...
Transition metal doped chalcogenides are one of the most important classes catalysts that have been attracting increasing attention for petrochemical and energy related chemical transformations due to their unique physiochemical properties. For practical applications, achieving maximum atom utilization by homogeneous dispersion metals on surface is essential. Herein, we report a detailed study deposition method using thiourea coordinated transition complexes. This allows preparation library...
Ultrathin (1–3 cationic-layers) (CuZn)1–xGax-CO3 layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets were synthesized following the aqueous miscible organic solvent treatment (AMOST) method and applied as catalyst precursors for methanol production from CO2 hydrogenation. It is found that, upon reduction, treated LDH (AMO-LDH) samples above a critical Ga3+ composition give consistently significantly higher Cu surface areas dispersions than catalysts prepared conventional hydroxyl-carbonate phases....
Abstract Selective hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural were performed with carbon nanotube‐supported bimetallic NiFe (NiFe/CNT) catalysts. The combination Ni Fe in an appropriate atomic ratio Ni/Fe (2.0) significantly increased the selectivity to 2,5‐furandimethanol or 2,5‐dimethylfuran depending on reaction temperature. selectivities as high 96.1 % at 383 K 91.3 473 K, respectively. characterization results confirmed that particles sizes less than 7 nm formed...
An ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3)-supported gold catalyst was prepared and used in the aerobic oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid under base-free conditions with molecular oxygen. XRD TEM results revealed that nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on surface channels CMK-3. Catalytic tests showed conversion remarkably increased decreased selectivity when oxygen pressure reaction temperature increased. Glucose reached over 92% 85% 383 K temperature, 0.3 MPa pressure, 2 h time. Hydrogen...
There has been an intense research effort to develop 2-H MoS2 based catalysts reduce or eliminate the use of Pt/C at higher metal loading for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in catalytic hydrolysis water, which enables capture renewable energy sources as fuel and chemical.

Selective hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) derived from syngas to ethylene glycol (EG) over copper (Cu)-based catalysts is an important transformation modern chemical industry. Methanol, as a product or solvent, can dissociate on the Cu surfaces by forming adsorbed CO under H2 atmosphere at 473 K. A small amount accelerates redox processes, thus inhibiting catalytic activity with negative kinetic reaction order. The strong interaction between and blocks active sites disrupts synergy...
