Porous graphitic carbon (PGC) has shown unique separation efficiency in liquid chromatography for a wide range of substance classes. In the characterization of polymers PGC has particularly been used for analysis of polyolefins. Its retention mechanisms differ dramatically from those of silica-based stationary phases and therefore allow interesting applications. Due to its unprecedented retention mechanisms PGC does not only promise good separation performance for polyolefins but also for more polar polymers such as Polycarbonate (PC). In this study, we determined the critical conditions of PC on PGC using CHCl/dichlorobenzene (DCB) and CHCl/trichlorobenzene (TCB) as eluents achieving separations according to hydroxyl end-groups, which was confirmed by MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. As the content of TCB at the critical point was lower compared to that of DCB, it was concluded that TCB is a stronger desorption promoting eluent than DCB for the present system. The temperature influence on the critical point was then investigated revealing that with increasing temperature the content of desorption promoting eluent has to be raised in order to achieve critical conditions. Furthermore, a peak shifting over time was observed using TCB as desorption promoting eluent, which was attributed to irreversibly adsorbed PC on the column material. However, when a flow cell-IR detector was applied monitoring the eluted samples, a recovery rate close to 100% was found.

The presence of trace CO impurity gas in hydrogen fuel can rapidly deactivate platinum-based hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) catalysts due to poisoning effects, yet the precise CO tolerance mechanism remains debated. Our designed Au@PtX bifunctional core-shell nanocatalysts exhibit excellent performance of CO tolerance in acidic solution during HOR and possess exceptional Raman spectroscopy enhancement. Through capturing and analyzing in situ Raman spectroscopy evidences on *OH, metal-O species and *CO evolution under 0.

Photo-oxidation of methane (CH) using hydrogen peroxide (HO) synthesized in situ from air and water under sunlight offers an attractive route for producing green methanol while storing intermittent solar energy. However, in commonly used aqueous-phase systems, photocatalysis efficiency is severely limited due to the ultralow availability of CH gas and HO intermediate at the flooded interface. Here, we report an atomically modified metal-organic framework (MOF) membrane nanoreactor that promotes direct CH photo-oxidation to methanol at the gas-solid interface in a reticular open framework.

Dual active sites with synergistic valence state regulation under oxidizing and reducing conditions are essential for catalytic reactions with step-wise mechanisms to modulate the complex adsorption sites of reactant molecules on the surfaces of heterogeneous catalysts with maximized catalytic performances, but it has been rarely explored. In this work, uniformly dispersed CuCo alloy and CoO nanosheet composite catalysts with dual active sites are constructed, which shows huge boost in activity for catalyzing water-gas shift reaction (WGSR), with a record high reaction rate reaching 204.2 μmol g s at 300 °C for CuCoO amongst the reported Cu-based and Co-based catalysts.

The effective elimination of NO from automobile exhaust at low temperatures poses significant challenges. Compared to other materials, supported RhO catalysts exhibit high NO decomposition activities, even in the presence of O, CO, and HO. Metal additives can enhance the low-temperature NO decomposition activities over supported RhO catalysts; however, the enhancement mechanism and active sites require further investigation.

Electrocatalytic NO-to-NH reduction (NORR) offers an attractive way to remedy polluted NO and produce value-added NH. In this study, main-group Sn single atoms anchored on S-vacancy-rich MoS (Sn/MoS) are explored as a highly selective NORR catalyst. Combined theoretical computations and in situ spectroscopic measurements reveal that the isolated Sn sites of Sn/MoS can not only promote NO-to-NH activation and hydrogenation but also favor NH desorption and restrict H adsorption, thus enabling a highly selective NORR for NH synthesis.
