Co 3 O 4 is a promising Hg 0 removal catalyst for industrial application. Operating temperature and low sulfur resistance are two of the main problems that hinder its industrial application in Hg 0 removal. Herein, a metal-organic framework (Co-BDC) was introduced as a sacrificial template to obtain the catalyst nano-sized Co 3 O 4 @C by calcination. Part of the organic ligands is carbonized during the calcination. Carbon wrapped Co 3 O 4 and reduced metal agglomeration. The optimal Hg 0 removal temperature of the existing cobalt oxide catalysts was always around 150 °C, but H 2 -TPR showed that the oxygen atoms on the Co 3 O 4 @C were more active than those on Co 3 O 4 , causing the Hg 0 removal temperature window of Co 3 O 4 @C to shift to lower temperatures. The Hg 0 removal efficiency of Co 3 O 4 @C could reach almost 100% even at 25 °C. In the meanwhile, Co 3 O 4 @C also showed a strong SO 2 resistance at ambient temperature. Experimental results and characterization proved that SO 2 did not compete with Hg 0 on the surface of Co 3 O 4 at low temperatures. On the contrary, it participated in the oxidation of Hg 0 . This is a great improvement for Co 3 O 4 catalyst in Hg 0 removal. It reduces the restrictions on the application of Co 3 O 4 in Hg 0 removal. Co 3 O 4 @C shows considerable potential as an Hg 0 removal catalyst.

The critical challenge to achieve cost-effective elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) capture from coal combustion flue gas by using mineral sulfides lies in developing a facile method to realize their fixed-bed application, which hence exhausts the adsorption capacity of mineral sulfides and optimize their economic-sustainability. In this work, a feasible and facile synthesis procedure based on a one-step cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) assisted precipitation procedure was proposed to overcome this challenge. During this process, the CTAB played a crucial role to effectively confine the particle size of copper sulfide (CuS) in nanoscale and stably anchor it over the macroporous polyurethane foam (PUF) skeleton. The macropore-enriched CuS/PUF as synthesized was merited for its high throughput morphology, nanoscale particle size of CuS, homogeneous distribution of active components, and multiform surface sulfur ligands, which is promising to be used in a fixed-bed scenario to achieve efficient Hg 0 sequestration. These benefits co-derived an excellent Hg 0 sorbent with extremely high uptake capacity and adsorption rate (265.6 mg g −1 and 2.16 mg g −1 min −1 ), exceeding those of other mineral sulfides and traditional activated carbons as reported in previous studies by folds, even by magnitudes. With such an outstanding Hg 0 sequestration performance and a macroporous structure, it can be reasonably concluded that the CuS/PUF will be a potential sorbent to be adopted in a fixed-bed scenario, which optimizes the cost-effectiveness of mineral sulfide based sorbents and extend their application flexibility for the Hg 0 adsorption from coal combustion flue gas.

Hydrothermal synthesis is a typical method for the preparation of TS-1. In the current study, agitation was introduced during the crystallisation stage, and nano-sized TS-1 with little anatase TiO2 was successfully synthesised in a short time (1–8 h). Furthermore, under rotational crystallisation conditions, a series of TS-1 samples was prepared with different crystallisation times, and the products obtained were investigated as catalysts for the oxidative desulfurisation of thiophene from a model fuel. All samples were characterised utilising X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2-adsorption, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy techniques. It was found that under rotational crystallisation conditions, nano-sized TS-1 could be synthesised in a short time that had improved efficiency for the oxidative desulfurisation reaction of thiophene in comparison with TS-1 synthesised by static crystallisation for 24 h.

Aluminum (Al) powder is commonly used in solid propellants because of its high energy density. However, Al powder is prone to agglomeration during combustion, resulting in lower combustion efficiency. The energy-containing composites of micro/nano-sized Al powder modified by the hexafluoropropylene and vinylidene fluoride dipolymers (VitonA) were fabricated by an evaporation solvent method, and the morphology, thermal behavior, and ignition and combustion (IAC) properties were investigated. The IAC performance of the nano-sized aluminum (nAl) is improved obviously when the coating concentration of VitonA reaches 15%, and higher combustion intensity is attained, which confirms the occurrence of the preignition reaction between nAl and fluoropolymer. Although the IAC properties of micro-sized Al (μAl) powder are also improved by VitonA, there is different impact mechanism of VitonA on the nAl and μAl. These results provide guidance for inhibiting the agglomeration of Al powder and improving its combustion efficiency. Graphical

In this work, we show sustainable and efficient synthesis of nanosized EMT zeolite under organotemplate-free and solvent-free conditions, which not only completely avoids the use of organic templates for production of NOx and CO 2 but also effectively reduces the formation of polluted water. In addition, the yield of EMT zeolite is significantly enhanced by this route, compared with conventional hydrothermal synthesis . The nanosized EMT zeolite obtained has good crystallinity, uniform crystal size distribution, and high surface area. Ion-exchange tests show that the nanosized EMT zeolite owes high Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ion exchange capacity at room temperature, which is potentially important for softening hard water in the industrial processes. Catalytic tests in Knoevenagel condensation show that the nanosized EMT zeolite exhibits higher activity than that of the EMT zeolite synthesized using organic template, indicating the importance of the nanosized EMT zeolite as a base catalyst.

The growth of porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) on the surface of polymer brushes is reported for the first time. In contrast to PAFs formed in solution, polymer brushes provide a confined environment for PAF growth, resulting in nanosized and homogeneous spherical PAFs formed amongst the polymer brushes. 4-Bromobenzene functionalities from the polymer brushes are utilized to induce PAF growth by a Yamamoto-type Ullman coupling reaction. The size of PAFs can be tailored from 30 nm to 500 nm by subtly changing the structural parameters: e.g. reaction time, grafting density, and concentration of 4-bromobenzene on the surface. The established strategy is not only applicable to the preparation of PAF-1, but can also be extended to the controlled preparation of PAF-5. In addition, free-standing and flexible PS/PAF-1 hybrid membranes are obtained via dissolving the oxidized layer between the polymer layer and the silicon substrate, which can be transferred to any flat substrate. The obtained PS/PAF-1 membrane is proven to show high efficiency in removing dye from water and is promising for eliminating other foulants, such as microorganisms and trace organics.

Rapid synthesis of Sn-containing nanosized all-silica Beta zeolite was developed in this work. The method employed all-silica Beta (Si-Beta) as parent, which was crystallized in several hours by the hydrothermal method, and incorporated Sn to Si-Beta through grinding with SnCl4·5H2O and subsequent calcination procedure. The prepared Sn-Beta zeolites were analyzed by several methods including XRD, SEM, N2 physisorption, FT-IR spectroscopy of deuterated acetonitrile and pyridine adsorption, UV–vis DR, and XPS. The mechanism of incorporation of Sn sites into the framework of zeolite was revealed. The results show that the successful incorporation of Sn sites strongly depends on the crystallinity of the parent Si-Beta. Si-Beta with lower crystallinity (<90%) had a considerable amount of silanols which provided sites for Sn incorporation into the framework sites. For Si-Beta with higher crystallinity and less silanols, desilication was used to generate more silanols for the incorporation of Sn sites. The prepared Sn-Beta zeolites were effective for the transformation of glucose to methyl lactate (MLA). Its catalytic activity is better than those of Sn-Beta-P prepared by dealumination–stannation of Al-Beta and Sn-Beta-F synthesized through the traditional hydrothermal method. Turnover frequency (TOF) was calculated on the amount of framework Sn sites to measure the intrinsic and initial activity of active Sn sites. TOF values varied in the sequence of nano Sn-Beta ≫ Sn-Beta-F ≫ Sn-Beta-P. The high MLA yield for nano Sn-Beta is due to its higher mesoporosity. The prepared Sn-Beta zeolite was recycled eight times in the transformation of glucose to MLA without any decrease of catalytic activity. Additionally, the effect of potassium salt on the formation of MLA from glucose over Sn-Beta catalyst was studied.

Nanosized titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) demonstrates excellent catalytic ability in the selective catalytic oxidation reaction. However, their synthesis process is usually complicated with low yield under hydrothermal conditions, which is not in line with the concept of green chemistry. Herein, via fully utilizing untreated seeds solution, we report firstly an entirely green strategy for solvent-free synthesizing anatase-free nanosized TS-1 zeolite . The success lies in the fully utilization of seeds solution which is composed of supersaturated structure directing agent (TPAOH), unreacted silica source, water and formed MFI seeds (silicalite-1) without external purification. In the followed solvent-free synthesis of final nanosized TS-1 product, no additional TPAOH is added, which greatly reduces the synthesis cost and synthetic procedure and maintains a high product yield. The obtained nanosized TS-1 zeolite without anatase phase has high crystallinity , large specific surface area. More importantly, the nanosized TS-1 (Si/Ti = 77) catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic ability for the epoxidation of chloropropene with 40.0% conversion and 97.6% selectivity. This sustainable and green synthesis method opens up a new way to regulate nanosized zeolite.

Nano-sized materials have attracted tremendous attentions because of their promising practical applications and theoretical values. The nano-sized materials are able to not only enhance the intrinsic properties of their bulk counterparts but also give birth to new promising properties. Herein, heterojunctions consisted of graphene oxide (GO) and three different MoS 2 nanostructures, including nanoflowers, nanoparticles, and quantum dots, were constructed and used as photocatalysts in water splitting. The electrochemical behavior and photocatalytic performance of MoS 2 /GO composites were found closely related to the particle size and morphology of MoS 2 . Compared to bulk MoS 2 /GO photocatalyst, nano-sized MoS 2 /GO heterostructures exhibited obviously enhanced performance in photocatalytic hydrogen generation. Benefitting from the surface effect and the quantum confinement in MoS 2 quantum dots, MoS 2 quantum dots/GO displayed the highest photocatalytic activities. This study indicates that the decrease in the dimension of MoS 2 can effectively increase the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance of MoS 2 /GO heterostructures, and thus suggests preferred strategy to design other HER photocatalysts based on MoS 2 .

Advancing the conventional hydrothermal and ionic liquid-assisted synthesis methodologies to produce ZSM-22 zeolites with similar characteristics yet notably distinct defect sites holds substantial significance in elucidating their influence on shape selectivity and hydroisomerization performance. This study investigated the impact of the initial gel ratio and synthesis parameters on the ionic liquid-assisted crystallization process and the crystal size of the ZSM-22 zeolite. The NH4F feed exhibits a minimal effect on the crystallization process, in contrast to the beneficial effect of improved ionic liquid and decreased water feed on substantially diminishing the crystal size of the resulting zeolites, which exhibit a morphology similar to that of the ZSM-22 zeolite obtained through the conventional synthesis route. Furthermore, the investigation into the crystallization process revealed that both ionic liquids and high temperatures play indispensable roles in accelerating the nucleation and crystal growth of ZSM-22 zeolite. When applied in the n-dodecane hydroisomerization, the nanosized ZSM-22 zeolites prepared by ionic liquid-assisted route exhibit remarkable isomer yield (above 72%), surpassing the conventional and large-size ZSM-22 zeolites. After the product distribution analysis, it is evident that the fewer Si–OH defect sites and the correspondingly strict confinement environment effectively limit the formation of the multibranched intermediates prone to crack, which ultimately improves the hydroisomerization performance, intrinsically reflecting the shape selectivity of the 10-membered ring zeolite by eliminating the interference of the framework defect sites. This work emphasizes the exceptional hydroisomerization performance of the ZSM-22 zeolite, highlighting the significance of its efficient synthesis and wide application.

Owing to its high capacity of 994 mAh g −1 , low cost, and environmental friendliness , tin (Sn) is considered as an advanced anode material for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, a facile strategy to fabricate core-shell structured Sn@NC composites with one-step and large-scale production is introduced in a liquid-phase reaction under room temperature . When used as anode materials for LIBs, the optimal Sn@NC composite delivers a high reversible discharge capacity of 761.2 and 476 mAh g −1 at a current density of 200 and 1000 mA g −1 after 200 cycles, respectively. A high capacity of 328.3 mAh g −1 can also be obtained even at a current density of 2000 mA g −1 . The excellent cycling stability and rate performance of the composite can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of the nanometer size of Sn powder and porous structure of the carbon shell, both of which can effectively reduce the absolute volume change of electrode during the repeated charge-discharge cycles, and thus lead to excellent electrochemical performances at both rate capability and cycling life.

Carbon nitride (CN), oxygen-doped carbon nitride (CNO), HNO 3 oxidized CN (CN-10) and CNO (CNO-10), were synthesized and used to catalyze ozonation of para -chlorobenzoic acid ( p -CBA) and atrazine in aqueous solution. Pre-doping oxygen atom into CN could create extra defects for grafting more carboxyl groups during HNO 3 oxidation , which was verified by much lower formation energy of CNO-10 than that of CN-10. Density functional theory and room temperature electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis signified the changes of electronic structure afforded by extensively grafted carboxyl groups. The incorporation of carboxyl groups distorted the carbon nitride framework and changed the spatial dimensions of CN and CNO, which attenuated the characters of delocalized π-electrons in conjugated structure. Moreover, the introduction of carboxyl groups reduced the pore diameter and nano-size distributed in aqueous solution for CN-10 and CNO-10 relative to those of CN and CNO. Results showed that the elimination efficiency of p -CBA by catalytic ozonation and R ct (standard reactivity metric for catalytic ozonation process) with CNO-10 improved 1.12- and 1.48-fold relative to those with CN-10, respectively, far surpassing non-catalytic ozonation. The removal of ozone-resisted compounds by CNO-10 catalyzed ozonation was not significantly affected by bicarbonate and NOM, and it was promoted by natural surface water resulting in 87.4% p -CBA removal in 30 min. Mechanistic evaluation demonstrated that carboxyl groups were the main active sites, catalyzing ozone decomposition into hydroxyl radical through radical chain reaction. This work provides fundamental supportive of pre-doping oxygen atom into CN before HNO 3 functionalization, which could incorporate more carboxyl groups on surface compared to conventional strategy, further enhancing catalytic activity in ozonation.
