Antibiotic resistance and the high infectivity of bacteria pose an increasingly threat to human health. Mesoporous silica supporting metal-based nanoparticles are considered an effective strategy to fight bacterial infections. In this work, the short channeled mesoporous Zr-SBA-15 (SBA-S) material is synthesized by sol-gel method using ZrOCl 2 ·8H 2 O as an additive. Nanoparticles based on four types of copper species, Cu, Cu 2 O, CuO, and CuSO 4 , are successfully prepared, forming the Cu-loaded SBA-S materials. The composite structures are comprehensively characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD , XPS , UV–Vis DRS, FTIR, ICP , TG, and BET analysis. It turns out that all structures maintain the arrays of highly ordered pore channels, high specific surface area (SSA, ≥500 m 2 g −1 ), and narrow width of pore size (∼7 nm). The release of Cu 2+ ions shows the order is CuSO 4 /SBA-S > CuO/SBA-S > Cu 2 O/SBA-S > Cu/SBA-S. Antibacterial activity assay indicates that CuO/SBA-S shows 1.25 and 0.62 mg mL −1 of the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values against E. coli and S. aureus . The acting mechanism would include the free Cu 2+ ions and the nanoparticle-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS). We propose that the cheap CuO/SBA-S material would be a promising antibacterial agent with the good antibacterial activity.

Graphical P-Zr-SBA-15 catalyst with bifunctional acidity was synthesized by introducing Zr 4+ into the mesoporous material SBA-15 structure for intra skeleton modification, and then impregnated with phosphoric acid solution to modify the outer skeleton. The catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity, good thermal stability, and recoverability in the preparation of furfural. A series of bifunctional P-Zr-SBA-15 catalysts with Lewis acid and Brønsted acid sites were prepared by modifying mesoporous material SBA-15 with Zr 4+ and phosphate group, which were used in the conversion of xylose and xylan into furfural. The structure and acidic characteristics of the catalyst were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N 2 adsorption desorption, scanning/transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, NH 3 temperature programmed desorption, and pyridine adsorption infrared spectroscopy. The effects of different process parameters on the catalytic performance of the catalyst were studied. when using the xylose and xylan as substrates, the furfural yield were 80.3 % and 68.8 % under the optimal conditions in the H 2 O (NaCl) /toluene (3/3 mL) biphasic solvent system, respectively, and 52.5 % furfural yield was obtained using xylose as substrate in aqueous system. In addition, the catalyst has good thermal stability and easy recovery in the recycling experiment.

In the present study, an economic and environmentally friendly bi-functional catalyst, Zr-SBA-15, has been prepared to develop a single-step process for synthesis of methyl levulinate (MLA) directly from furfural (FAL) in near-critical methanol without added H 2 . The presence of Zr in SBA-15, the structure of the Zr-SBA-15 catalyst, and its physical properties have been determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N 2 adsorption and desorption (N 2 -BET) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Zr-SBA-15 catalyst has high activity for the production of MLA and good reusability. A possible reaction pathway containing two possible reaction pathways during this single-step synthesis of MLA has been proposed: the FAL has been transformed to β-Methoxy-2-furanethanol (MFE) and 2-Furfuryl methyl ether first, which then have been converted to MLA, and the conversion of FAL to MFE has been much easier and faster than that to 2-FME, which may be the major reaction pathway. The SBA-15 has given high activity for the conversion of FAL to MFE, and the incorporation of Zr has converted the MFE to MLA efficiently. The reaction of FAL to MFE to MLA has been found to be the dominant reaction. Finally, the catalyst has shown good reusability for at least five times without any reduction in the catalytic activity.

Upgrading bio-ethanol into high value chemicals is an important issue in biomass conversion, and conversion of ethanol into butadiene is one of the most feasible methods. Here Zr-incorporating mesoporous SBA-15 (Zr–SBA-15) materials with different Si/Zr ratios were successfully synthesized by a one-pot method and were employed as catalysts for the conversion of the ethanol (EtOH)–acetaldehyde (AcH) mixture to butadiene. The textural structure and acidity of Zr–SBA-15 were investigated by using XRD, N2 adsorption, TEM, FT-IR, UV-vis, XPS, NH3-TPD and Py-IR, and the results of these characterizations indicated the mesoporosity of Zr–SBA-15 and confirmed the incorporation of Zr into the framework. Zr–O–Si bonds were formed by the incorporation and exhibited Lewis acidity predominantly. The influence of the Si/Zr ratio and reaction conditions (temperature, EtOH/AcH ratio and WHSV) showed that a suitable Si/Zr ratio was needed to balance the butadiene selectivity, by-product selectivity and total conversion. Amongst the prepared catalysts, Zr–SBA-15-20 achieved the best butadiene selectivity of 74.0% at a relatively low temperature (275 °C). The good catalytic performance could be attributed to the homogeneous dispersion of Zr species and Zr–O–Si bond generated by Zr incorporation. Furthermore, EtOH-TPD and AcH-TPD experiments proved the essential role of acetaldehyde addition and the well-accepted reaction pathway.

The hydrogenation of CO 2 to formic acid (FA) represents a sustainable route for carbon utilization and chemical production, yet it faces challenges in catalytic efficiency, selectivity, and process scalability. Herein, we report a highly efficient catalytic system based on Pd supported on amine-functionalized Zr-SBA-15 (Pd/Zr-SBA-15-AP) for continuous FA synthesis in a fixed-bed reactor. The flake-shaped Zr-SBA-15 support with short mesoporous channels facilitates superior mass transfer. Meanwhile, amine functionalization was identified to serve a dual function: significantly enhancing CO 2 adsorption capacity and modulating the electronic state of Pd to form electron-enriched sites conducive to H 2 activation. The optimized catalyst, 0.3Pd/Zr-SBA-15-AP 3.0 , achieved an exceptional turnover number (TON) of 160 and a turnover frequency (TOF) of 80 h −1 , outperforming the state-of-the-art catalyst under similar continuous-flow conditions. Furthermore, the catalyst demonstrated stable performance over 32 h of continuous operation, underscoring its practical potential. This work provides a scalable strategy for sustainable FA production, effectively bridging laboratory-scale research and industrial application.
