The understanding of catalyst deactivation represents one of the major challenges for the methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) reaction over acidic zeolites. Here we report the critical role of intermolecular π-interactions in catalyst deactivation in the MTH reaction on zeolites H-SSZ-13 and H-ZSM-5. π-interaction-induced spatial proximities between cyclopentenyl cations and aromatics in the confined channels and/or cages of zeolites are revealed by two-dimensional solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The formation of naphtalene as a precursor to coke species is favored due to the reaction of aromatics with the nearby cyclopentenyl cations and correlates with both acid density and zeolite topology.

Most of the photocatalytic reactions are currently driven by high-energy light (UV, blue light), which inevitably leads to side reactions and co-catalyst deactivation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to prepare novel photocatalysts with low-energy photocatalytic properties. Herein, we report a rational molecular design of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) equipped with donor-π-acceptor systems with different π-bridges (aromatic ring, mono- and bis-alkynyl).

Ferrous oxalate (FeCO)-based composite has been recognized as an eminent catalyst for Cr(III)-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (Cr(III)-EDTA) decomplexation. However, their practical application has been limited by low cycling capacity and an ambiguous mechanism. In this research, a composite catalyst consisting of biotite loaded with nano FeCO (CFS90) was prepared directly from iron-containing silicate tailing.

Cobalt is recognized as an active catalyst in ethane dehydroaromatization (EDA) reactions due to its efficient ethane cracking capability. In order to optimize cobalt's strong ethane cracking capability, it was loaded onto HZSM-5 zeolite through impregnation. This study was conducted with Co-loaded HZSM-5 catalysts with an incipient wetness impregnation method and witnessed an increase of catalytic activity with a long induction period.

Pd-based alloys are among the most attractive catalysts for direct alcohol fuel cells. However, their widespread use is limited by the high cost of Pd and their susceptibility to deactivation by surface-adsorbed reaction intermediates, particularly CO. In this study, we engineered an ultrathin 2D PdCr metallene to minimize Pd usage and doped it with phosphorus to enhance its CO tolerance.

Chlorinated and oxygenated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs and OVOCs) pose a significant threat to human health. Catalytic oxidation effectively removes these pollutants, but catalyst deactivation is a challenge. Our study focused on the hydrolysis oxidation of chlorobenzene (CB) and ethyl acetate (EA) over Ru/MO/HZSM-5 (M = W, Mo).
