A monolithic catalyst was fabricated through an emulsion-templating method, postpolymerization modification, and in situ loading of active constituents. To achieve a high specific surface area, divinylbenzene (DVB) was solely employed as the monomer, while the porous structure was adjusted with the porogen content and the types of initiators. Then, anchor points were introduced on the pore wall through nitration and amination of the polymeric scaffold. Using a controlled "silver mirror reaction", monolithic catalysts were obtained after loading of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), which was verified from morphological and crystallinity characteristics. The catalytic performance of the resultant monolithic catalyst was determined with the model reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). In static catalysis, the monolithic catalyst was proved to have a reactively high apparent rate constant and a good reusability. Furthermore, a flow reactor was fabricated with the monolithic catalyst, showing a high efficiency and long-term durability for the continuous reduction of 4-NP. This work broadened the adjustment of porous structures and the subsequent application for emulsion-templated monoliths.

Under industrial conditions, efficient catalytic oxidation of Chlorinated volatile organic compounds is an important challenge, not only because of the poisonous effect of Chlorinated volatile organic compounds on catalysts, but also because of their high reaction temperature, which has an adverse impact on industrialization. In a recent article ( Ru/CeO ) [1], we developed a strategy for preparing a simple and efficient monolithic catalyst for the catalytic combustion of chlorobenzene. Ru/CeO was loaded on the industrial support cordierite by a Sol-gel method.

Multiple functional tailored materials have shown great potential for both pollutant degradation and freshwater recovery. In this study, we synthesized densely distributed Co onto carbon-layer-coated Ni/AlO hydrangea composites (Ni/AlO@Co) the polymerization of dopamine under a controlled graphitized process. The characterization results revealed that Ni/AlO@Co, with abundant exposed bimetallic Co-Ni species on the surface of AlO, could afford accessible catalytic sites for persulphate activation and subsequent pollutant degradation.

Article Synopsis
- - Developing efficient catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in seawater electrolysis is key for producing green hydrogen, and carbonized wood (CW) is a promising material due to its sustainable and porous properties.
- - This study compares the electrocatalytic performance of various types of CW, including carbonized poplar, balsa, fir, and pine, with carbonized poplar demonstrating the best performance due to its larger electrochemically active surface area and functional groups.
- - The carbonized poplar (PoCW) shows a low overpotential in both alkaline freshwater and seawater and maintains durability over 100 hours, highlighting the potential of metal-free, CW-based electrodes for effective hydrogen production.

Ground-level ozone pollution poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health and requires effective control measures. This study focused on the monolithic ozone degradation catalyst based on powdered α-MnO and comprehensively investigated its catalytic performance, moisture resistance, and stability. The monolithic catalyst achieved the optimal catalytic activity with an ozone conversion rate of 99% after being calcined at 400 °C for 3 hours.

NiFe (oxy)hydroxide has been widely used as a benchmark anodic catalyst for oxygen evolution reactions (OERs) in alkaline water electrolysis devices; however, the energy saving actually takes contributions from both the anodic OER and cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, we observe the catalytic promotion upon the in situ-derived NiFe (oxy)hydroxide from the NiFe alloy monolithic electrode and also point out that the coupled nickel cathode is contaminated, leading to the loss of HER activity and a reduction in overall efficiency. It is found that Ni and Fe cations are inevitably detached from the anode into the electrolyte and electrodeposited on the nickel cathode after the three-month industrial simulation.
