AI Article Synopsis
- Py-GC/MS and thermogravimetric analysis were used to study the catalytic pyrolysis of poplar sawdust using a bi-metallic Fe-Ni/ZSM-5 catalyst, which enhanced the production of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
- The Fe-Ni/ZSM-5 catalyst significantly increased toluene yield by 41.4% compared to Fe/ZSM-5 and 80.9% compared to Ni/ZSM-5.
- Kinetic analysis indicated that the average activation energy for catalyzed pyrolysis was lower than that of non-catalytic pyrolysis, suggesting the process follows diffusion and nucleation models, with thermodynamic parameters showing non-spontaneous reactions.
Article Abstract
Py-GC/MS and thermogravimetric analysis were carried out to systematically explore product selectivity and kinetics of poplar sawdust catalytic pyrolysis over bi-metallic Fe-Ni/ZSM-5. The results showed that the Fe-Ni/ZSM-5 exhibited an additive effect on the production of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons compared to mono-metallic catalysts (Fe/ZSM-5 or Ni/ZSM-5). Fe-Ni/ZSM-5 further increased the yield of toluene (17.28 mg g), which was 41.4% and 80.9% higher than Fe/ZSM-5 and Ni/ZSM-5, respectively. According to the kinetic analysis, the average activation energy obtained from catalytic pyrolysis with Fe-Ni/ZSM-5 using the methods of Friedman, Starink, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose was 156.19, 152.39, 154.30, and 152.11 kJ mol, respectively. Fe-Ni/ZSM-5 addition lowered the activation energy compared to non-catalytic pyrolysis at the conversion rate of 0.15-0.75. The overall catalytic pyrolysis process of poplar sawdust follows the diffusion and nucleation models. The thermodynamic parameters (enthalpy and entropy) showed positive and negative values, respectively, indicating non-spontaneous reactions during the catalytic pyrolysis process.

The integration of intermittent renewable energy sources into the energy supply has driven the need for large-scale energy storage technologies. Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are considered promising due to their long lifespan, high safety, and flexible design. However, the graphite felt (GF) electrode, a critical component of VRFBs, faces challenges due to the scarcity of active sites, leading to low electrochemical activity.

In this study, ex-situ catalytic pyrolysis of oxygen-containing polycarbonate (PC) was conducted to prepare carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and H-rich syngas. This study examined the influence of the active metal components (Ni and Fe), catalyst pre-reduction, and pre-deoxygenation of pyrolysis volatiles on the catalytic performance and mechanism. Results show that the reductive constituents in pyrolysis volatiles make it difficult to reduce the Fe oxides, thus hindering the CNTs growth on Fe catalysts, compared to Ni catalysts.

Customizing multi-metal site catalysts for achieving controllable CO reduction reaction (CORR) product tuning holds immense promise yet poses formidable challenges. The traditional synthesis method of multi-metal sites is the pyrolysis of metal-containing precursors, which is inherently uncontrollable. Herein, a bottom-up strategy is employed to customize and synthesize multi-metal sites in covalent organic frameworks (COFs), aiming to controllably switch the CO reduction selectivity by regulating the electronic structure of active sites.

The solar-driven catalytic recycling of plastics has recently emerged as a new frontier in industry. Nevertheless, its large-scale application requires the catalysts being capable of the strong absorption of visible and near-infrared light, strengthened photothermal efficiency, high activity and selective toward target product, enhanced stability, as well as easy separation from the products. In this work, magnetic Ni-MnO nanocatalyst (MN/C) is synthesized via the pyrolysis of metal-organic framework (MOF) for the photothermal catalytic recycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET).
