The gel skeletal reinforcement (GSR) method was applied at the preparation stage of β-zeolite to prepare a novel hierarchical catalyst. A solution of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS) and acetic anhydride, a GSR reagent, was added to the mixture of colloidal silica, sodium aluminate, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and water, and successive aging and hydrothermal treatment gave microporous β-zeolite surrounded by mesoporous silica like core-shell structure. Its properties were characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption and desorption, NH-TPD, TEM, and TG-DTA measurements, and further characteristics of the catalysts produced were clarified by the catalytic cracking of n-dodecane. The hierarchical structure of microporous zeolite and mesoporous silica was shown from GSR-2.9HS-H-Beta to GSR-3.2HS-H-Beta, where the molar ratio of HMDS and silica source of β-zeolite was 2.9~3.2 : 100. It was found that in the catalytic cracking of n-dodecane, the relative activity (the conversion per the amount of zeolite crystals) increased with the increase in mesopore volume and surface area. The result indicated that the introduction of mesopores was effective even in catalytic cracking of small molecule of n-dodecane.

Zeolitic nanosheets possess great potential in catalysis due to their enhanced transport property and accessibility toward bulky molecules compared to conventional micron- meter scale crystals. However, the generation of Beta zeolite nanosheets, which are crucial for industrial catalysis, is still challenging for its intergrowth nature. In this work, aluminosilicate Beta nanosheets of ca.

Lithium nitrate (LiNO) stands as an effective electrolyte additive, mitigating the degradation of Li metal anodes by forming a LiN-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). However, its conversion kinetics are impeded by energy-consuming eight-electron transfer reactions. Herein, an isoreticular metal-organic framework-8-derived carbon is incorporated into the carbon cloth (RMCC) as a catalytic current collector to regulate the LiNO conversion kinetics and boost LiN generation inside the SEI.

We fabricated Co-based catalysts by the low-temperature thermal decomposition of R-Co intermetallics (R = Y, La, or Ce) to reduce the temperature of ammonia cracking for hydrogen production. The catalysts synthesized are nanocomposites of Co/RO with a metal-rich composition. In the Co/LaO catalyst derived from LaCo, Co nanoparticles of 10-30 nm size are enclosed by the LaO matrix.

The ZSM-5 zeolite is the key active component in high-severity fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts and is routinely activated by phosphorus compounds in industrial production. To date, however, the detailed structure and function of the introduced phosphorus still remain ambiguous, which hampers the rational design of highly efficient catalysts. In this work, using advanced solid-state NMR techniques, we have quantitatively identified a total of seven types of P-containing complexes in P-modified ZSM-5 zeolite and clearly revealed their structure, location, and catalytic role.

Boehmite nanoparticles and NaY nanozeolite were synthesized by co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods, respectively, and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TG-DTA, BET, and SEM techniques. XRD and BET analyses demonstrated the formation of boehmite nanoparticles with a surface area of 350 m/g and high crystallinity NaY nanozeolite with a surface area of 957 m/g. In order to evaluate the effect of the content of the mesoporous boehmite nanoparticles on the catalytic performance of the Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracking (RFCC) catalyst, alumina active matrix-based and silica inactive matrix-based catalysts were prepared.
