In this study, the influence of different ZSM-5 composite materials (ASA, γ-alumina, η-AlO, SiO, and attapulgite) and their performance in the -hexane catalytic cracking process in a fixed bed microreactor at 550 °C under atmospheric pressure was studied. XRD, FT-IR spectroscopy, NH-TPD, BET, FE-SEM, and TG analyses were performed to characterize the catalysts. The result of the -hexane to olefin process indicated that the A2 catalyst (γ-alumina composition with ZSM-5) showed the highest conversion of 98.89%, highest propylene selectivity of 68.92%, highest yield of light olefins of 83.84%, and highest propylene to ethylene ratio of 4.34. The reason for the significant increase in all these factors and the lowest amount of coke in this catalyst is the use of γ-alumina, which increased the hydrothermal stability and resistance to deactivation, improved the acidic properties with a strong to weak acid ratio of 0.382, and increased the mesoporosity to 0.242. This study indicates the effect of the extrusion process and the composition and the major effect of the properties of this material on the physicochemical properties and distribution of the product.

Mismatched electron and proton transport rates impede the manifestation of effective performance of the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), thereby limiting its industrial applications. Inspired by the natural protein cluster in PS-II, different organic-inorganic hybrid electrocatalysts were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. -Toluidine (PT), benzoic acid (BA), and -aminobenzoic acid (PABA) were successfully intercalated into NiFe-LDH.

The amount of incorporation of linear alcohols and ethers in HSiWO·6HO (HSiW·6HO, 50 wt %) supported on silica (SiO) was estimated by a conventional volumetric method and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and the state of involved molecules was elucidated. First, the attribution of the key IR band at 2200 cm, which was observed for the water of crystallization of HSiW·6HO, to HO species (protons) was verified by coincident observation of thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and IR spectroscopy during thermal treatment in addition to the isotope exchange with DO. The 2200 cm band was gradually decreased in intensity by increasing the amount of adsorption of pyridine and was totally consumed at saturation, while the volumetric method provided the accurate number of included pyridine molecules.

Tailoring rhodium-based metal-organic layers for parahydrogen-induced polarization: achieving 20% polarization of H in liquid phase.

Heterogeneous catalysts for parahydrogen-induced polarization (HET-PHIP) would be useful for producing highly sensitive contrasting agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the liquid phase, as they can be removed by simple filtration. Although homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts are highly efficient for PHIP, their sensitivity decreases when anchored on porous supports due to slow substrate diffusion to the active sites and rapid depolarization within the channels. To address this challenge, we explored 2D metal-organic layers (MOLs) as supports for active Rh complexes with diverse phosphine ligands and tunable hydrogenation activities, taking advantage of the accessible active sites and chemical adaptability of the MOLs.

The research and development of the green synthesis route of chemicals has become the focus of research in academia and industry. At present, the highly efficient oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde over non-precious metal catalysts under mild conditions is most promising, but remains a big challenge. Herein, the Mo-Sn oxide catalyst was designed to successfully realize low-temperature oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde, achieving an acetaldehyde selectivity of 89.
