Lanthanum based adsorbents are promising in adsorptive desulfurization due to high activity. The dispersion degree of La 2 O 3 impacts desulfurization performance directly, and the development of an efficient strategy for La 2 O 3 dispersion still remained challenge. Herein, for the first time confined spaces and silanols of as-synthesized SBA-15 were used for dispersion of La 2 O 3 over mesoporous silica. The La(NO 3 ) 3 precursor is directly introduced into the confined spaces between silica walls and template of as-synthesized SAB-15 by solid state dispersion (SSD) strategy. The SSD strategy assists the formation of small sized La 2 O 3 with excellent dispersion after La precursor decomposition by the combined action of confined spaces and silanols. We also demonstrated that up to 20 wt% La 2 O 3 can be highly dispersed over as-synthesized SBA-15 (LaAS-20). Our investigations show that well-dispersion of La 2 O 3 correspond to high desulfurization activity for fuels, and the amount of thiophene captured can reach 0.12 mmol of S/g over LaAS-20, which is better than that over LaCS-20 and other La-doped reported sorbents. Furthermore, LaAS-20 adsorbent showed good stability and regeneration ability, and has potential applications to be applied in adsorptive desulfurization technology.

The impact of nanomaterial morphology on the structures of catalysts has drawn intense interest. Based on previous work, we discovered that ZnO plays an essential role in the ethanol production . In this research, we discussed the impact of ZnO with different morphology (rod-like, granular-like and flower-like) on the performance of CuZnAl slurry catalysts for the ethanol production. The catalytic performance was evaluated at H 2 /CO = 2, 250 °C and 4.0 MPa, and the catalyst structures were tested by XPS, in situ DRIFT and so on. The results show that CuZnAl catalysts prepared with rod-like and granular-like ZnO show the better selectivity of methanol and DME, which is assigned to the highly dispersion of Cu species and more quantity of acidic sites, respectively. CuZnAl catalyst prepared with flower-like ZnO possesses the higher total alcohol selectivity (45.0%) and the highest ethanol proportions in total alcohol (50.0%). Flower-like ZnO that exposed more polar (002) facets results in more surface defect structures (oxygen vacancy, Zn (2-δ) ) and high ratio of Cu 0 /Cu + in this catalyst, all of which are related to the formation of ethanol.

The dithiothreitol (DTT) assay is the most commonly used method to quantify the oxidative potential of fine particles. However, the reported DTT decay rates of carbon black (CB) materials vary greatly among different researchers. This might have resulted from either the intrinsic toxicity of CB or the unsuitability of the DTT assay protocol for CB particles. In the current study, the protocol of the DTT assay for CB materials has been carefully evaluated. It was found that the dispersion degree of CB particles in water has a great influence on the DTT decay rate of CB materials. For CB particles (special black 4A (SB4A) and Printex U) and single-walled carbon nanotube tube (SWCNT), the DTT decay rate after sonication for 10 min became 4.2, 4.6 and 1.7 times higher than that without sonication. The rate continued to grow as a function of ultrasound time up to 30 min of sonication. Although the concentration of soluble transition metals and surface oxygen-containing species such as carbonyls increased slightly with sonication, they had no significant effects on the measured DTT activity, while the increase in the dispersion degree of aggregates was found to play a vital role in the observed enhancement of the DTT decay rates for different CB materials. Based on our results, 30 min of sonication is recommended for sample dispersion when measuring the DTT decay rate of CB materials.

Different catalyst supports, namely: commercial Degussa P25 TiO 2 , anatase TiO 2 (CC), γ-Al 2 O 3 , and lab-synthesized AlOOH were used to prepare Pt-based catalysts for the room temperature formaldehyde oxidation. XRD, BET and XPS were conducted to characterize the bulk structure of support, the oxidation state of surface elements and the ratio of oxygen in hydroxyls to the total surface oxygen, as well as textural properties of catalysts. For the first time, a long-term activity test at 0% relative humidity was conducted to investigate relationships between the activity of the Pt-based catalysts with Pt dispersion and oxidation state and the relative abundance of surface OH groups. Pt/AlOOH showed the best activity, whereas Pt/P25 TiO 2 gave the worst activity. We consider that both the surface hydroxyl groups and the Pt dispersion are indispensable, and both act synergistically. The specific surface area is not the decisive factor for the present reaction.

In order to gain insight into the influence of SiO 2 support particle size on the vacuum residue (VR) slurry-phase hydrocracking performance of Fe-based catalysts, a series of FeZn/SiO 2 catalysts with varying SiO 2 particle sizes were prepared. Characterization results show that the surface area and pore volume of the FeZn/SiO 2 catalysts increase with the reduction of SiO 2 particle sizes. The metals Fe and Zn species on FeZn/SiO 2 -S catalyst are more readily reducible via H 2 -TPR analysis. Notably, FeZn/SiO 2 -S catalyst presents higher metal dispersion and a greater degree of sulfurization compared to the other catalysts by XRD and XPS characterizations. Hydrocracking results demonstrate that the FeZn/SiO 2 -S catalyst achieves the lowest coke and gas yields (11.9 wt% and 0.4 wt%), respectively, and the highest VR conversion among these catalysts. The superior performance of the FeZn/SiO 2 -S catalyst in VR slurry-phase hydrocracking is ascribed to its enhanced hydrogenation activity, deriving from the higher dispersion and sulfurization of metals species. This suppressed the aggregation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in VR and the over-cracking of intermediate products. Additionally, the increased mesopore associated with smaller SiO 2 particles facilitates to the diffusion of large VR molecules, further promoting the hydrocracking reaction.

Borneol synthesis faces challenges from co-generated impurities (isoborneol/camphor) and competing dehydration/dehydrogenation during isomerization. Here, Co/TiO 2 is demonstrated as a selective catalyst for isoborneol-to-borneol isomerization, effectively suppressing structural degradation. Controlled acidity and cobalt dispersion are identified as critical factors: TiO 2 's moderate acidity promotes isomerization, while strongly acidic supports (e.g., Mordenite) favor dehydration to camphene. Reduced cobalt particle size enhances active-site accessibility, lowering activation energy and boosting borneol yield. A one-pot two-step process achieves >62 % borneol content with <0.5 % camphor, meeting ChPC purity standards. This strategy bypasses traditional purification bottlenecks, offering a scalable route for high-purity borneol synthesis. The mechanistic insights into acid strength and metal dispersion provide a framework for rational catalyst design in industrial isomerization applications.

Pd/C catalysts were prepared by an incipient-wetness impregnation and their catalytic performance in disproportionation of rosin was investigated. The texture structure, groups on the activated carbon surfaces, and acidity were characterized by N 2 physisorption-desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). The Pd/AC3 (treated at 443 K) had the highest Pd dispersion (23.60%) with the highest specific surface area of activated carbon (1057 m 2 /g). Nevertheless, the Pd/AC0 (original carbon black) had the lowest Pd dispersion (13.07%) with a lower specific surface area of original activated carbon (994 m 2 /g). Pd/AC3 presented a considerable catalytic activity in the rosin disproportionation reaction, with 64.15% dehydroabietic acid and without abietic acid in product. However, Pd/AC0 (Pd supported on the original carbon) showed a much lower catalytic activity in the rosin disproportionation reaction, with 42.64% dehydroabietic acid and 3.59% abietic acid in product.

A series of Ni/SiO 2 –Al- x catalysts ( x is the initial mass ratio of SiO 2 to Al(NO 3 ) 3 ) with different aluminum contents was prepared by impregnation method using nickel nitrate as the Ni source. The prepared Ni/SiO 2 –Al- x catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, TPR, TEM, XPS, NH 3 -TPD, and Py-FTIR methods. Taking m -cresol as a model compound, the effects of aluminum content and reaction conditions on the HDO performance were investigated. Results showed that addition of appropriate amount of aluminum can generate acid sites and improve the metal Ni dispersion by increasing the surface area of catalyst. Furthermore, the selectivity to deoxygenated methyl-cyclohexane product over aluminum modified Ni/SiO 2 –Al- x catalysts increased significantly as compared to that of Ni/SiO 2 , which confirmed the importance of aluminum addition on the dehydration of 3-methyl-cyclohexanol to methyl-cyclohexane. Among the prepared Ni/SiO 2 –Al- x catalysts, the Ni/SiO 2 –Al-5 catalyst exhibits the best HDO performance. A 100% m -cresol conversion with the selectivity to MCH of 100% was achieved under the conditions of T = 250°C, p = 2 MPa, t = 75 min with catalyst (mg)/ m -cresol solution = 2.

A series of Pd/TiO 2 catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method followed by atmospheric discharge plasma treatment. In order to study the influences of plasma treatment on the catalysts, the samples were characterized by XRD, TPR, TPD, XPS and TEM technologies. It was found that the plasma treatment catalysts possessed a higher acetylene conversion and ethylene selectivity compared to those of the untreated sample. The enhanced performance of the plasma treated catalyst was mainly dependent on two main effects. On one hand, the treated catalyst possessed a higher metal Pd dispersion, which resulted in the easier activation of acetylene. On the other hand, the surface electron density of metal Pd on the treated catalyst got enhanced compared to that of untreated sample, because of the stronger interaction between TiO 2 support and metallic Pd, helping the more desorption of ethylene species from the surface of catalyst.

Catalytic propane combustion was performed on a series of supported Pt/AlF 3 catalysts. These catalysts are very active and stable in the reaction, and the 0.2Pt/AlF 3 catalyst gives the highest specific reaction rate of 207.3 μmol g Pt −1 s −1 at 220 °C. The 1Pt/AlF 3 is much more active than the reference Pt/Al 2 O 3 catalyst, due to its higher content of metallic Pt species than that in the Pt/Al 2 O 3 . Furthermore, turnover frequency (TOF) based on Pt dispersion increases with the surface concentration of metallic Pt 0 in the catalyst, suggesting these species might be the active sites. Furthermore, synergistic roles of metallic and oxidized Pt species are found, as the TOFs calculated based on surface Pt 0 concentration reaches a maximum at the Pt 0 /Pt 2+ molar ratio of about 1. Such optimal Pt 0 /Pt 2+ ratio implies the requirement of Pt 0 Pt 2+ pair in the reaction, probably due to the activation and cleavage of C H bond on metallic Pt atom and the sequential oxidation on the oxidized Pt atoms.

A series of Mo-based catalysts supported on Ce1–xLaxO2−δ solid solution were prepared and performed in sulfur-resistant methanation. Characterization results suggested the formation of Ce1–xLaxO2−δ solid solution with a cubic fluorite structure. The correlation between the surface concentration of Ce3+ and oxygen mobility was well revealed. The higher oxygen storage capacity induced by La dopant enhanced the reducibility of the MoO3/Ce1–xLaxO2−δ during the sulfidation. Meanwhile, the presence of oxygen vacancy induced by Ce3+ prompted the sulfidation of Mo species, resulting in a higher dispersion of MoS2. The coupling between the CO hydrogenation and water–gas-shift (WGS) reaction is important for the sulfur-resistant methanation. The apparent methanation rate is easily determined by CO hydrogenation, and WGS reaction could provide more H2 for the CO hydrogenation. MoO3/Ce0.8La0.2O2−δ catalyst exhibited the highest activity in a broad temperature regime of 450–550 °C due to its high MoS2 dispersion and surface concentration of Ce3+.

Cu-ZnO is a promising sorbent for the removal of thiophene. However, the aggregation and growth of copper grains during the heating reaction leads to the sintering deactivation of the sorbent. Although various strategies have been proposed to introduce supports to mitigate these defects, the impact of supports on the desulfurization performance of sorbent remains poorly understood. In this study, Cu-ZnO/Al 2 O 3 sorbents were synthesized with excellent performance by incorporating Al 2 O 3 (derived from Al(NO 3 ) 3 , γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH as aluminum sources) using co-precipitation and fractional precipitation methods. The thiophene removal evaluation was conducted in a fixed bed reactor. The results indicates that the breakthrough adsorption capacity for thiophene ( Q b-thiophene ) of sorbent synthesized using γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH is approximately 25 % higher than that of those synthesized with Al(NO 3 ) 3 . In comparison to Al(NO 3 ) 3 , γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH exert less influence on the precipitation and crystallization processes of Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ . Sorbents synthesized with γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH as aluminum sources demonstrate higher copper dispersion, larger specific surface area and smaller grain size, all of which significantly enhance the desulfurization activity of sorbent. Furthermore, the use of γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH as aluminum sources contributes to an increase in ZnO and unsaturated Zn δ+ contents on sorbent surface. This improvement enhances hydrogen storage capacity and promotes hydrogen spillover at the Cu-ZnO interface; additionally, it facilitates both the adsorption activation of thiophene and the stable fixation of sulfur species. These findings provide an important theoretical basis for the design and large-scale application of efficient desulfurization sorbents.
