Abstract:
... Organic sulfur gases (COS, CS₂ and CH₃SH) are widely present in reducing industrial off-gases, and these substances pose difficulties for the recovery of carbon monoxide and other gases. The reaction pathways and reaction mechanisms of organic sulfur on different catalyst surfaces have yet to be fully summarized. The literature shows that many factors, such as catalyst synthesis method, loaded met ...

Abstract:
... Efficient direct valorization of methane to value-added chemicals and materials remains an unsolved challenge for modern chemistry and materials science. In this work, we explored direct non-oxidative conversion of methane to hydrogen, hydrocarbons, and valuable zeolite-templated carbon materials. First, using a set of spectroscopy and microscopy characterization tools, we investigated how the rea ...

Abstract:
... Simultaneous anammox and denitrification (SAD) is an efficient approach to treat wastewater having a low C/N ratio; however, few studies have investigated a combination of SAD and partial nitritation (PN). In this study, a lab-scale up-flow blanket filter (UBF) and zeolite sequence batch reactor (ZSBR) were continuously operated to implement SAD and PN advantages, respectively. The UBF achieved a ...
... The complete catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) to CO₂ and H₂O at room temperature is a green route for indoor HCHO removal. Zeolite is an excellent carrier material for HCHO oxidation due to its large surface area, intricate pores and high adsorption capacity. However, the zeolite-supported noble metal catalysts have currently shown relatively low activity especially at room temperature. ...

Abstract:
... The invasive alien seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae (R.o.) has spread quickly through the Mediterranean Sea causing an unprecedented ecological impact. A solution integrated into a circular economy model is needed in order to curb the negative effects of its presence. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is proposed as a feasible process able to transform biomass into renewable energy. Nevertheless, in order to ...
... Zeolites with good acid site accessibility and high diffusion rates are highly desirable catalysts, especially when dealing with bulk molecules. In this work, ZSM-5 zeolites with similar Si/Al ratios but different thicknesses along the b-axis (from ∼30 nm to ∼5 μm), namely, two plate-like ZSM-5 zeolites and two reference zeolites have been prepared and the impacts of b-axis thickness on the surfac ...

Abstract:
... The molecular structures of hydrocarbon molecules determine the competitive and sequence reactions in the diesel hydrocracking process. In this study, the hydrocracking reactions of typical hydrocarbons with various saturation degrees and molecular weights in diesel fractions synergistically catalyzed by the Ni–Mo–S nanocluster and Al–Si FAU zeolite are investigated. The results show that the two ...
... This study proposed a strategy for the production of lactide from biomass-derived carbohydrate with excellent yield, involving sugar to racemic lactic acid conversion over Sn-containing Beta zeolite and racemic lactic acid to lactide conversion over H-Beta zeolite. Structural characteristics of the resulting lactide and extensive applicability for various substrates are also presented. ...
... Using EPR and HYSCORE spectroscopies in conjunction with ab initio calculations, we assess the structure of framework-bound monomeric hydroxo-Cuᴵᴵ in copper-loaded chabazite (CHA). The species is an interfacial distorted square-planar [CuᴵᴵOH(O-8MRs)₃] complex located at eight-membered-ring windows, displaying three coordinating bonds with zeolite lattice oxygens and the hydroxo ligand hydrogen-bo ...
... Porous crystals─including zeolites, metal–organic frameworks, and clathrates─are widely used as catalysts and molecular sieves and in energy applications. These materials are synthesized from solution through an intermediate amorphous phase. However, the structural gap between the amorphous and porous crystal phases can lead to large nucleation barriers and difficulties in the control of crystal p ...

Abstract:
... Molecular interactions of hydrocarbons within the confined pores of heterogeneous catalysts can influence reaction pathways, which play a crucial role in determining the overall efficacy of catalytic transformations. We probe the interactions of n-butane with a solid-acid zeolite, mordenite, combining inelastic neutron scattering with DFT calculations. This reveals that the solid-acid sites within ...

Abstract:
... The molecular state is crucial for precise gas separation using a zeolite membrane, yet the state control remains a big challenge. Herein, we report a NO₂ dimerization facilitated high performance SO₂/NO₂ separation on a SSZ-13 zeolite membrane. The NO₂ dimerization is triggered by temperature and pressure to form N₂O₄ with big molecular size, and N₂O₄ diffusion into the zeolite pore is inhibited ...

Abstract:
... Fabrication of thin and oriented zeolite membrane is highly preferable and challenging, providing the advantage of less resistance and high permeation for efficient molecular separation. MFI zeolite nanosheets serve as the desirable building block for fabricating thin and preferably b-oriented MFI membranes. However, the secondary growth of deposited MFI zeolite nanosheet layer is an indispensable ...

Abstract:
... Samples with micropores can not be adequately described by using the Langmuir isotherm. The Langmuir expression is obtained by using the monolayer assumption, which is not valid in samples with micropores. Then, we propose to include in the isotherm a corrective parameter related to the sample porosity. We show that the modified isotherm enables us to describe the experimental values for different ...

... Hydrothermal deposition is an ideal method to fabricate high-efficiency antimony sulfoselenide (Sb₂(S,Se)₃) solar cells due to its simple, eco-friendly and low-cost processing characteristics. This deposition approach has enabled efficiency breakthrough in Sb₂(S,Se)₃ solar cells, while the chemical mechanisms in the deposition and annealing processes remain undiscovered. Here, we reveal that the d ...

Abstract:
... Force field-based calculations of all-silica zeolites show the role of fluoride as a structure-directing agent (SDA). Calculations of fully packed organic and fluoride SDAs were possible with an updated version of zeoTsda software, based on Monte Carlo+Lattice Energy Minimization. Comparison between fluoride-containing and fluoride-free calculations using the same organic SDA allowed us to predict ...

Abstract:
... Embedding metal species into zeolite frameworks can create framework-bond metal sites in a confined microenvironment. The metals sitting in the specific T sites of zeolites and their crystalline surroundings are both committed to the interaction with the reactant, participation in the activation, and transient state achievement during the whole catalytic process. Herein, we construct isolated Co-m ...

Identifying optimal candidates from tens of thousands of MOFs that have been reported is a challenging task. To this end, machine learning (ML) represents a promising approach to facilitate the selection of best-performing MOFs. In this study, we propose a sch ...

A systematic investigation of two sets of defect free and defective ZSM-5 crystals with controlled thickness (T) between 30 and 400 nm and of their performances in methanol conversion was reported for the first time in the present work. The defect free ZSM-5 crystals with a thickness of 35 nm are by far the smallest ever reported and displayed superior activity, stability and selectivity to slower ...

In this study, secondary addition of Al was introduced in aluminum–silicon zeolites (ZSM–5) by impregnation to modify their acid properties. Characterizations revealed that extra–framework Al (EFAL) formed after calcinations both on the internal and external surface of the catalysts, which prov ...
