As a bio-based platform chemical, it is desirable to convert levulinic acid (LA) to varieties of value-added biochemicals. n-Butane, mainly from nonrenewable fossil resources, is a basic chemical to produce some important chemicals, such as butadiene and ethylene. In this paper, 95.5% yield of n-butane was obtained from LA in one-step over base-treated Pt/C at around 300 °C in 4 h. The reaction pathway was confirmed to be the hydrodeoxygenation of LA to valeric acid (VA) and then the VA decarboxylation to n-butane by kinetic studies. Base-treated Pt/C had better reactivity due to its improved decarboxylation activity. Detailed characterization of the catalyst revealed that the Pt particle size is the key reason for the activity improvement, and further studies showed that Pt nanoparticles with a size of 2–4 nm showed the highest decarboxylation activity. This is the first report on the direct conversion of LA to n-butane.

Glycolic acid (GA), a versatile compound widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biodegradable polymers, requires efficient and sustainable synthesis methods to meet industrial demands. This study investigates the selective oxidation of glycolaldehyde (GD) and ethylene glycol (EG) to GA over a carbon-supported platinum (Pt/C) catalyst under alkali-free conditions. Complete GD conversion with exceptional GA selectivity (99.8%) was achieved under mild conditions (30 °C, 2.5 MPa air), while EG oxidation exhibited moderate conversion (∼60%) with >90% GA selectivity. Kinetic analysis revealed distinct oxygen pressure dependencies: GD oxidation exhibited strong oxygen sensitivity, as oxygen adsorption and activation were rate-determining, whereas EG oxidation was predominantly governed by substrate concentration due to the oxygen saturation on the Pt/C surface. Mechanistic studies identified GD as a key intermediate in EG oxidation, with overoxidation pathways limiting GA selectivity at higher temperatures and concentrations. Catalyst characterization demonstrated high Pt dispersion, stable surface chemistry, and structural durability, contributing to its superior performance. This work provides a green, efficient pathway for GA production, offering valuable insights into catalyst design and process optimization for sustainable chemical manufacturing.

In the present work, an amperometric electrochemical hydrogen (H 2 ) sensor was fabricated by solid polymer electrolyte and screen-printed electrodes (SPE). The carbon electrode modified by Pt/C/Nafion film gave an enhanced sensitivity. The Pt/C/Nafion suspension could be directly added dropwise to the carbon electrodes for modification, which was simple and efficient. For hydrogen sensors, it was proved that hydrogen and Pt nanoparticles in aprotic electrolyte were the electrochemical behavior of single electron transfer in an anaerobic environment and the coupling electrochemical behavior with oxygen in an aerobic environment. A solid amperometric gas sensor was fabricated by a 3D printing package with a solid polymer electrolyte and porous ceramic subtracts printed with modified electrodes. It was indicated that the sensor device fabrication was quite simple; however, the sensitivity could be greatly improved.

Incorporation of nanophase ceria into the cathode catalyst Pt/C was used as alternative cathode catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in an air-cathode single-chamber microbial fuel cell (SCMFC) for the first time. Electrochemical results reveal that the ceria doped Pt/C catalysts exhibited a higher catalytic performance than the pure Pt/C catalyst. The highest voltage of 580 mV and the maximum power density of 840 ± 24 mW m−2 were achieved from the 3 wt% CeO2 doped Pt/C cathode, which was larger than that of the pure Pt/C cathode.

Graphical Low cost, high value : An Mn 2 O 3 catalyst with porous structure exhibits comparably activity to commercial Pt/C and notably higher activity than other Mn-based oxides, such as Mn 3 O 4 and MnO 2 . In light of the low cost and high earth abundance of Mn, the highly active Mn 2 O 3 is a promising candidate to be used as a cathode material in metal–air batteries and alkaline fuel cells. Preparing nonprecious metal catalysts with high activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) can promote the development of energy conversion devices. Support-free porous Mn 2 O 3 was synthesized by a facile aerosol-spray-assisted approach (ASAA) and subsequent thermal treatment, and exhibited ORR activity that is comparable to commercial Pt/C The catalyst also exhibits notably higher activity than other Mn-based oxides, such as Mn 3 O 4 and MnO 2 . The rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) study indicates a typical 4-electron ORR pathway on Mn 2 O 3 . Furthermore, the porous Mn 2 O 3 demonstrates considerable stability and a good methanol tolerance in alkaline media. In light of the low cost and high earth abundance of Mn, the highly active Mn 2 O 3 is a promising candidate to be used as a cathode material in metal–air batteries and alkaline fuel cells.

Halogenated aromatic anilines are series of crucial intermediates for the synthesis of pigments, medicines and pesticides in the fine chemistry. However, efficient inhibition of undesired dehalogenation is difficult to achieve in the commonly used batch reactors. Although employing continuous flow technology and modified catalysts could alleviate dehalogenation, obtaining high selectivity of halogenated aromatic anilines especially for brominated aromatic amines and iodine aromatic amines is still challenging. In this study, a continuous flow system based on micro-packed bed reactor was developed and a kinetic model of the hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzene was established. Kinetic parameters for the reductions of p -chloronitrobenzene, p -bromonitrobenzene and p -iodonitrobenzene were acquired and the kinetic model exhibited good fit for the transformation of each substance. Moreover, the accuracy of kinetic model was validated by the comparison with the values in literature. The obtained kinetic model offered helpful information for the process optimization of hydrogenation of halogenated nitroaromatics in continuous flow system.

This study investigated Pt/C and Pd/C catalysts promoted by Au for glycerol electrooxidation in alkaline medium . The results show that addition of Au can significantly promote the catalytic activity and stability of Pt/C and Pd/C for glycerol electrooxidation. The catalysts with a weight ratio of 4:1 for Pt to Au and Pd to Au show the best performance for glycerol electrooxidation and the PtAu(wt 4:1)/C shows a better performance than the PdAu(wt 4:1)/C. Glycerol electrooxidation on the PdAu(wt 4:1)/C has a better stability than that on the Pt/C. The results show that the PdAu(wt 4:1)/C can give a better discharge performance than the Pt/C in a direct glycerol fuel cell. Electrooxidation of pre-adsorbed CO has been used to explain the results.

A fuel-cell-type gas sensor based on the membrane electrode assemble (MEA) composed of proton exchange membrane (Nafion) and Pt/C sensing electrodes was fabricated for detection of CO at room temperature . The Pt/C electrodes materials were synthesized from Vulcan XC-72 carbon powders and hexachloroplatinic acid (H 2 PtCl 6 ). This paper mainly focused on the effect of various dispersants (ethylene glycol (EG) tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), glycerol and EG/polytetrafluoro-ethylene (PTFE)) on the performance of the presented sensor. Results revealed that the sensor utilizing EG as the dispersant elicited the highest response current toward 50 ppm CO. The current of the sensor was linearly correlated with CO concentration in the range of 1–200 ppm, which sensitivity was 88 nA/ppm. In addition, the 90% response and recovery times of the sensor toward 50 ppm CO were 22 and 24 s, respectively. Besides, the prepared CO sensor also had a good repeatability and acceptable selectivity.

The hydrogenolysis of glycerol was performed over a Pt/C catalyst in combination with several alkali metal hydroxides and their salts. LiOH was found to be an effective promoter for the selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-propanediol. Hydroxyl ions are the main factor to promote the reaction process by dehydration of the glyceraldehyde intermediate. Lithium ions play a role in assisting the dehydrogenation of glycerol to glyceraldehyde, because they have the right size to coordinate with the alkoxide species. A possible surface reaction mechanism involving the participation of lithium ions was proposed to account for the results obtained in the study.

Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (CCA), an important chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate, is commonly produced from thermal catalytic hydrogenation of benzoic acid (BA) under high temperature and pressure. Herein, electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) for highly selective conversion of BA into CCA using carbon fibers with different graphitization degree (carbon fiber paper (CFP), carbon fiber cloth (CFC)) supported commercial platinum carbon (Pt/C) electrode was reported for the first time without using external H 2 . Our experimental results show that, at room temperature and 1 atm, the BA conversion and the CCA selectivity are both as high as 100% in 0.05 M H 2 SO 4 over carbon fiber paper (CFP)-supported Pt/C (Pt/C/CFP). Meanwhile, Pt/C/CFP electrode still maintains outstanding stability after 10 reaction cycles. In situ Raman results and theoretical calculations reveal that the adsorption strength of BA over Pt/C/carbon fibers electrode varies with the graphitization degree of carbon fibers along with the applied potential. The superior ECH performance of the Pt/C/CFP is mainly attributed to the high dispersity of Pt/C catalysts on CFP as well as unique electronic interaction, which improved the adsorption and activation of BA. Typically, CFP with few defects can induce the accumulation of electrons around the Pt regions and enhance the electron-deficient aromatic adsorption thus improving the ECH performance of Pt/C/CFP, which is the opposite for CFC with more defects.

High-loading Pt/C catalysts play an important role in the practical application of metal–air batteries and fuel cells because of their superior activity, high conductivity, and commercial availability. It is well known that high loadings always lead to the agglomeration of Pt nanoparticles, resulting in a loss of catalytic activity and stability; thus, it still remains a challenge to prepare high-loading Pt/C catalysts with high dispersion and small particle sizes. Here, we introduce a surfactant-assisted microwave discharge method to prepare high-loading (>40 wt %) Pt/C electrocatalysts with ultrafine particle sizes (∼3.19 nm) and good dispersion. Benefitting from the high-temperature property and reducibility of carbon-induced-arc, the surfactant and Pt precursors undergo rapid decomposition, reduction, and carbonization, generating the structure of Pt@C on carbon black. The carbon derived from the surfactant can not only inhibit the agglomeration of Pt nanoparticles but also prevent the Pt core from toxication, ensuring high activity and stability of the high-loading Pt/C catalyst. When evaluated in the oxygen reduction reaction, the as-prepared Pt/C catalyst demonstrates a comparable activity and better methanol resistance to commercial Pt/C.

The selectivity of 3-nitrostyrene (NS) hydrogenation over 0.5 wt-% Pt catalysts supported on carbon materials can be switched simply by changing reduction temperature. When the reduction temperature was 150 °C, 1-ethyl-3-nitrobenzene (ENB) was mainly produced in a selectivity of 93% at a conversion of 95% (at 100 °C). When the reduction was conducted at a higher temperature of 450 °C, in contrast, the main product was switched to 3-aminostyrene (AS) in a selectivity of 96% at a conversion of 91%. That is, the Pt/C catalysts reduced at low and high temperatures could preferentially catalyze the hydrogenation of vinyl and nitro groups of NS, respectively. This switching of the product selectivity may be ascribed to actions of surface oxygen-containing functional groups and surface hetero P species. The quantity and nature of these surface species were examined in detail by a few different methods. For the low-temperature reduced catalyst, surface acidic groups present close to Pt nanoparticles (∼2 nm) would interact with the nitro group of a NS molecule and make its vinyl group more likely to interact with the surface active metal species of Pt nanoparticles; this facilitates the hydrogenation of the latter and produces ENB selectively. For the high-temperature reduced catalyst, however, P species would interact with Pt and form Pt-PO x complex, on which a NS molecule is likely to be adsorbed with its nitro group, facilitating the selective production of AS via its hydrogenation. It is demonstrated that surface functional groups and surface hetero atoms (like P), in addition to main active metal species (like Pt), should have direct actions in the catalysis for such a catalyst that exposes a larger quantity of surface functional groups and/or hetero atoms compared to the number of supported metal nanoparticles .
