In this study, ternary mixed oxide catalysts containing AlO-MoO-MgO and AlO-MoO-WO were prepared with a changing ratio of MoO:AlO between 0.05 and 20.00. All catalysts showed 100% selectivity towards propene during the conversion of propan-2-ol at temperatures between 220 and 400 °C. The catalysts prepared from WO possessed very strong acid sites, which cause higher catalytic activity than catalysts prepared from MgO. Besides, the ratio of MoO:AlO was found to be directly proportional to the conversion yield for all catalysts. XRD results show that whole MgO reacted with AlO and MoO to form amorphous MgMoO and MgAlO phases during catalyst preparation. Furthermore, WO reacted only with AlO to form Al(WO) and WO phase was also detected in the final product. The higher surface acidity and catalytic activity of AlO-MoO-WO catalyst referred to this WO phase within the structure.

Heterogeneous catalysis is significantly enhanced by the use of highly porous polymers with specific functionalities, such as basic groups, which accelerate reaction rates. Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) provide a unique platform for catalytic reactions owing to their high surface areas and customizable pore structures. We herein report a series of Tröger's base polymers (TB-PIMs) with enhanced basicity, achieved through the incorporation of nitrogen-containing groups into their repeat units, such as triazine and triphenylamine.

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have proven to be an effective solution for chemical wastewater treatment, particularly for degradation of organic pollutants, especially dyes. Ozonation is recognized as one of the most prevalent AOPs. Nevertheless, some cases show a lowered efficiency of O utilization which is attributed to its inadequate distribution in the treated water causing low residence time, low mass transfer coefficient as well as shorter half-life.

Biomass-derived carbon, as an excellent support, has received extensive attention. In this work, carbon matrix obtained from bamboo fiber (BF) is served as a supporting material for the immobilization of platinum (Pt) nanoparticles, leading to a substantial improvement in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This approach leverages the remarkable surface area, outstanding conductivity, and environmentally friendly characteristics of BF-derived carbon, facilitating the dispersion and stability of the Pt nanoparticles.

The scarcity of freshwater resources and the treatment of dye wastewater have emerged as unavoidable challenges that need to be addressed. The combination of solar-driven interfacial evaporation, photocatalytic degradation, and superhydrophobic surface provides an effective approach for seawater desalination and the treatment of organic dyes. In this study, we fabricated a multifunctional synergistic solar evaporator by depositing cupric oxide nanoparticles onto polypyrrole (PPy) coating and subsequently modified it with a hydrophobic agent successfully.

Defluorination reactions are increasingly vital due to the extensive use of organofluorine compounds with robust carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds; particularly, the efficient defluorination of widespread and persistent per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances under mild conditions is crucial due to their accumulation in the environment and human body. Herein, we demonstrate that surface-modified silicate of pronounced proton affinity can confine active hydrogen (•H) onto nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) by withdrawing electrons from nZVI to react with bound protons, generating confined active hydrogen (•H) for efficient defluorination under ambient conditions. The exposed silicon cation (Si) of silicate functions as a Lewis acid site to activate the C-F bond by forming Si.
