Advanced Synthesis of Hierarchically Porous Zeolite Catalysts Utilizing Biomass Templates for the Catalytic Pyrolysis of Stearic Acid into Short-Chain Olefins.

In this study, hierarchically porous ZSM-5 catalysts were fabricated by one-pot assembling ZSM-5 particles onto diverse biomass templates (e.g., rice husk, tea seed husk, tung shell, and coconut shell), wherein the biomass template was transformed into bio-SiO or biochar depending on the calcination conditions.

Construction of Ni/InO Integrated Nanocatalysts Based on MIL-68(In) Precursors for Efficient CO Hydrogenation to Methanol.

The efficient and economic conversion of CO and renewable H into methanol has received intensive attention due to growing concern for anthropogenic CO emissions, particularly from fossil fuel combustion. Herein, we have developed a novel method for preparing Ni/InO nanocatalysts by using porous MIL-68(In) and nickel(II) acetylacetonate (Ni(acac)) as the dual precursors of InO and Ni components, respectively. Combined with in-depth characterization analysis, it was revealed that the utilization of MIL-68(In) as precursors favored the good distribution of Ni nanoparticles (∼6.

Structural Isomerism of Two Ce-BTC for Fabricating Pt/CeO Nanorods toward Low-Temperature CO Oxidation.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted enormous research interest as precursors/templates to prepare catalytic materials. However, the effect of structural isomerism of MOFs on the catalytic performance has rarely been studied. In this contribution, two topologically different Ce-benzene tricarboxylate (Ce-BTC) based on the same ligands and metal centers (viz.
