Nickel-based catalysts are widely used in hydrogenation of varied types of organics. However, the nickel catalyst, like Ni/SiO 2 , lacks selectivity for hydrogenation of C=C and C=O. This is undesirable in some scenarios, such as conversion of biomass-derived furfuryl alcohol (FA) to cyclopentanone (CPO), a fine chemical, in which the C=C in furan ring of FA needs to be retained. In this study, introduction of sulfur species to Ni/SiO 2 catalyst via loading NiSO 4 was adopted to inhibit hydrogenation of furan ring in FA, aiming to achieve conversion of FA to CPO via ring-opening route. The results indicated that NiSO 4 was reduced to Ni x S y , which further reacted with metallic Ni, forming Ni 3 S 2 species and introducing the acidic sites with high-strength. The co-existence of Ni x S y and metallic Ni species effectively hindered hydrogenation of furan ring in FA, reducing tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) yield from 97% over Ni/SiO 2 to 0 over the NiS x /SiO 2 catalysts and shifting the major product to CPO. Nonetheless, the enhanced acidic sites along with the introduction of NiSO 4 catalyzed polymerization of reaction intermediates, competing with the production of CPO. The acidic sites, however, facilitated hydrogenolysis of vanillyl alcohol to selectively produce (yield: 94.3%) in hydrogenation of vanillin. Characterization of hydrogenation of FA with in-situ Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) technique suggested the oxygen-containing functionalities in FA, instead of furan ring, could strongly adsorb on the NiS 10 /SiO 2 catalyst, enhancing rearrangement reaction to form CPO while suppressing hydrogenation of the furan ring.

Controlling the oxygen-free product selectivity in catalytic hydrodeoxygenation is essential for producing high quality fuels from coal- and biomass-derived crude liquids. A series of boron-doped Ni/SiO 2 catalysts were prepared for the efficient hydrodeoxygenation of dibenzofuran as a model compound. Boron doping significantly promoted the transformation of 2-cyclohexylcyclohexanol, which was accumulated as the main oxygen-containing intermediate compound on the pristine Ni/SiO 2 catalyst, to the target products bicyclohexane and its isomer cyclopentylmethylcyclohexane. Characterization results show that boron doping increases Ni dispersion, modifies the electronic properties of Ni sites and in situ generates Brønsted acid sites by H 2 spillover to boron oxides. The reduced Ni particle size improves the rates of dibenzofuran hydrogenation and 2-cyclohexylcyclohexanol dehydration. Electron-deficient Ni and boron oxides as the Lewis acid sites enhance the adsorption of 2-cyclohexylcyclohexanol. Furthermore, the in situ generated Brønsted acid sites favor the dehydration of 2-cyclohexylcyclohexanol, which gives the Ni-5B/SiO 2 catalyst a better deoxygenation activity than the mechanical mixture of equal amounts of 5B/SiO 2 and Ni/SiO 2 , as well as the one with a smaller Ni particle size of 3.8 nm.

A SiO2-supported Fe and Ni bimetallic catalyst has been synthesized, characterized and, for the first time, tested as a heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst for the degradation and mineralization of methylene blue (MB) dye. The morphological, structural, and optical properties of this catalyst were analyzed using FESEM, XRD, FTIR and UV–vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic degradation of MB has been investigated using Fe–Ni/SiO2 catalysts under visible and solar light irradiation in aqueous solutions. The effects of solution pH, H2O2 concentration, initial MB concentration, catalyst dosage and light intensity on the degradation of MB have been systematically investigated. An almost complete degradation was achieved within 60 min with a solution pH of 3.00, a H2O2 concentration of 3.0 mM L−1 and a catalyst dose of 0.85 g L−1. The degradation and total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiencies were 99.80% and 86.19%, respectively, for sunlight. However, the values were only 99.01% and 75.71% for visible light. These results suggested that Fe–Ni/SiO2 possesses significant catalytic activity, and the solar-Fenton process is a feasible method for degrading and mineralizing the MB dye compared with artificial visible light. The catalytic action is attributed to H2O2 and the formation of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) by Fe(III) in Fe–Ni/SiO2via the photo-Fenton reactions. Furthermore, we determined that the catalyst activity can be replicated in successive experiments without a significant decline in the Fe–Ni/SiO2 and H2O2 processing efficiency under light irradiation. Our results will be useful for future improvement of active heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalysts for developing organic dye-containing wastewater treatments.

The CO 2 methanation is an important process in coal-to-gas, power-to-gas and CO 2 removal for spacecraft. Recently, metal-organic framework (MOF) derivatives have been demonstrated as high-performance catalysts for CO 2 upgrading processes. However, due to the high costs and low stability of MOF derivatives, it still remains challenge for the development of alternative synthesis methods avoiding MOF precursors. In this work, we present the sol-gel method for loading Ni-MOF to silica support in two-steps. Upon modifying the procedure, a more simplified one-step sol-gel method has been developed. Furthermore, the obtained Ni/SiO 2 catalyst still exhibits great catalytic performance with a CO 2 conversion of 77.2% and considerable CH 4 selectivity of ~100% during a stability test for 52 h under a low temperature of 310 °C and high GHSV of 20,000 mL·g −1 ·h −1 . Therefore, this work provides a ground-breaking direct strategy for loading MOF derived catalysts, and might shed a light on the preparation of highly dispersed Ni/SiO 2 catalyst.

Abstract Three typical methods, subsequent coating, co-impregnation and sequential impregnation, were employed to investigate the effect of introduction methodologies for CeO 2 -promoted Ni/SiO 2 catalysts. The CeO 2 @Ni/SiO 2 catalyst prepared with the subsequent coating method was found to exhibit the best initial activity and superior long-term stability in CO 2 reforming of methane. Comparative characterizations documented that small Ni size and intimate Ni–CeO 2 contact were generated on the CeO 2 @Ni/SiO 2 catalyst, leading to excellent reforming activity. In addition, pronounced redox property and strong surface basicity were created on the CeO 2 @Ni/SiO 2 catalyst, resulting in exceptional coke resistance and thus superior long-term stability. This work unravels the impact of various introduction methods on the catalyst structure, which would help design robust nanocomposite catalysts with outstanding catalytic performance.

Supported Ni and Ir nanocatalysts have been used in CO2 dry reforming of methane (DRM); however, their fast deactivation limited further applications. In this research, we introduced NiO nanoparticles (NPs) on the SiO2 surface ahead of the addition of the Ir source for the bimetallic Ir–Ni/SiO2 catalyst. The homogeneous NiO NPs provide finite spaces to prohibit the agglomeration of Ir NPs under H2 reduction. The Ir–Ni/SiO2 catalyst was obtained with ultrasmall bimetallic NPs (1.4 nm) uniformly distributed on the SiO2 surface. Owing to the synergistic effects within the bimetal, the catalytic performance on the fabricated bimetallic catalyst into the DRM reaction is significantly enhanced, with 1.2 times higher than the sum of the Ir and Ni monometallic catalysts. Besides, the side reaction of the reverse water–gas shift reaction is effectively suppressed, and the stability is also improved. This facile strategy provides another approach to fabricate ultrasmall and homogeneous bimetallic catalysts for efficient storage and conversion of fossil fuels.

New solid acid catalysts were prepared by bisphenol A, paraformaldehyde and chlorosulfonic acid, and applied to hydroxylalkylation/alkylation (HAA) of 2-methylfuran (2-MF) and cyclohexanone. After optimizing the reaction conditions, the conversion of 2-MF reached 99% and the yield of 5,5′-(cyclohexane-1,1-diyl)bis(2-methylfuran) acquired 98%. The activity and catalytic efficiency were higher than those of Amberlyst 15 and Amberlyst 36 resins, which could be rationalized by high acid strength. At the same time, the catalysts were characterized by acid–base titration and FTIR. Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of HAA products of 2-methylfuran and cyclopentanone were processed on the Ni/SiO2 catalyst prepared by wet impregnation method to further convert into aviation kerosene, and the yield reached 93%.

Mesoporous silica (SiO 2 ) supported highly dispersed Ni catalysts with ZrO 2 and surfactant β-cyclodextrin (CD) were prepared by the impregnation method, and their catalytic performance for three-phase methanation of CO were evaluated. It is shown that ZrO 2 promotes the dispersion of Ni species on mesoporous SiO 2 , leading to the increase in Ni dispersion and methanation activity. For the ZrO 2 content, the optimum is 5 wt%. Moreover, when adding CD in the preparation of Ni5Zr/SiO 2 catalyst, CD was found effectively enhanced the dispersion of Ni species and interaction between Ni species and support, leading to a smaller size of NiO particles and more exposed active surfaces, which promotes the CO adsorption capacity. As the molar ratio of CD/Ni rises, the crystallite size of metallic Ni decreased. Ni5Zr/SiO 2 (1:5) catalyst prepared with 5 wt% ZrO 2 and 1:5 molar ratio of CD/Ni shows the optimal catalytic activity for the three-phase CO methanation reaction. This is because of the highest dispersion of metallic Ni and smallest size of NiO particles.
