Understanding the catalytic structure–activity relationship over active sites is of fundamental importance in heterogeneous catalysis field. Herein, a series of H-ZSM-5 zeolites with Al pairs contents in the range of 31% to 82% are used to explore the structure sensitivity of olefin aromatization reaction. Compared with high reaction temperatures (385 ℃ and above), prominently different initial aromatic yields are observed over the samples at 150 ℃. In addition, the 1-octene temperature-programmed surface reaction (TPSR) and theoretical calculation results give a thorough understanding on active site dependent activation temperature (100 vs 150 ℃ over Al pairs and single Al). However, the catalytic cycle of olefin aromatization is not sustainable at low reaction temperature, which is due to the formation and blocking of big molecules in the micropores (e.g., trimethylbenzene etc.). In conclusion, the desorption of big molecules is the rate-determining step for olefin aromatization reaction over H-ZSM-5, which masks the structure sensitivity over Al pairs and single Al.

High-temperature adhesives find extensive application in diverse domains, encompassing repairs, production processes, and material joining. However, achieving their curing at ambient temperatures remains a formidable challenge due to the inherent requirement of elevated temperatures, typically exceeding 500 °C, for the curing reaction. To overcome this limitation, in this study, we developed a distinctive inorganic phosphate-based composite adhesive by incorporating dual-functional calcium monoaluminate (CA) into a traditional adhesive blend comprising Al(H2PO4)3and MgO. This distinctive approach significantly diminishes the curing temperature, enabling it to occur at room temperature. Firstly, CA’s facile hydration reaction effectively scavenges surrounding water molecules, thereby accelerating the dehydration curing process of Al(H2PO4)3. Secondly, as hydration is an exothermic process, it locally generates heat around the Al(H2PO4)3, fostering optimal conditions for its curing reaction. Moreover, the adhesive’s strength is substantially bolstered through the strategic inclusion of Nano-Al2O3(enhancing the availability of reaction sites) and Nano-SiO2(improving overall stability). As a demonstration, the adhesive formulation with added CA containing 2% Nano-Al2O3and 2% Nano-SiO2achieved a remarkable tensile strength of 32.48 MPa at room temperature, underscoring its potential as an efficient solution for various practical adhesive applications. The adhesive prepared in this study harnesses the hydration properties of CA to absorb moisture and release substantial heat, introducing a novel method for ambient temperature curing. This development promises to broaden its applications in refractory materials, coatings, and equipment repair.
