Sulfur poisoning and regeneration are global challenges for metal catalysts even at the ppm level. The sulfur poisoning of single-metal-site catalysts and their regeneration is worthy of further study. Herein, sulfur poisoning and self-recovery are first presented on an industrialized single-Rh-site catalyst (Rh /POPs). A decreased turnover frequency of Rh /POPs from 4317 h to 318 h was observed in a 1000 ppm H S co-feed for ethylene hydroformylation, but it self-recovered to 4527 h after withdrawal of H S, whereas the rhodium nanoparticles demonstrated poor activity and self-recovery ability. H S reduced the charge density of the single Rh atom and lowered its Gibbs free energy with the formation of inactive (SH)Rh(CO)(PPh -frame) , which could be regenerated to active HRh(CO)(PPh -frame) after withdrawing H S. The mechanism and the sulfur-related structure-activity relationship were highlighted. This work provides an understanding of heterogeneous ethylene hydroformylation and sulfur-poisoned regeneration in the science of single-atom catalysts.

Currently, the main limitations of Pd-coated Nb-TiFe dual-phase alloys include insufficient hydrogen permeability, susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement (HE), and poor tolerance of HS poisoning. To address these issues, this study proposes a series of improvements. First, a novel NbTiFe alloy composed of a well-aligned Nb-TiFe eutectic was successfully prepared using directional solidification (DS) technology.

In light of the extensive applications of sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds in drug discovery, agrochemicals, and advanced materials, the construction of complex sulfur-containing molecular scaffolds has flourished in recent years. There is a profound interest in synthetic methods for forming carbon-sulfur bonds. Regarding this, transition metal (TM)-catalyzed C-H bond activation has emerged as a valuable means for the rapid formation of C-S bonds, although it is comparatively less explored than C-N or C-C bonds.

For Cu-exchanged zeolite catalysts, Cu ions existing as Cu-2Z and [Cu(OH)]-Z (where Z represents a framework negative charge) are considered the active sites for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH (NH-SCR). Cu-2Z is more hydrothermally stable and sulfur poisoning-resistant than [Cu(OH)]-Z. In this work, Cu-CHA and Cu-LTA catalysts containing only Cu-2Z species were successfully synthesized by a novel impregnation (NIM) method, exhibiting remarkably enhanced hydrothermal stability and sulfur resistance compared with any reported Cu-exchanged zeolite catalysts.
