The surface Pt species and adsorbed oxygen on the Pt/ZrO 2 catalyst were successfully modulated by altering the preparation methods, resulting in distinct catalytic behaviors for CO, n-heptane, and toluene oxidation. The Pt/ZrO 2 catalyst was initially prepared via wetness impregnation and subsequently reduced in an H 2 atmosphere to obtain the Pt/ZrO 2 -R catalyst. In contrast, the Pt/ZrO 2 -E catalyst was synthesized using ethanol solvent (also serving as a reducing agent) instead of water during wetness impregnation. Moreover, the pre-prepared Pt nanoparticles were loaded onto the ZrO 2 surface using polyvinylpyrrolidine (as a protective and structure directing agent) dissolved in ethanol solvent to fabricate the Pt/ZrO 2 -EP catalyst. Among these catalysts, the Pt/ZrO 2 -R exhibits superior catalytic activity towards CO oxidation due to its abundant metallic Pt species. It is found that activity of Pt/ZrO 2 catalyst for n-heptane oxidation is positively correlated with its surface adsorbed oxygen concentration, thus the highest activity is achieved over the Pt/ZrO 2 -EP catalyst possessing a higher concentration of surface adsorbed oxygen species. Unlike CO and n-heptane oxidation, toluene oxidation activity is affected by multiple factors, it is primarily promoted by synergistic catalysis between metallic Pt species (Pt 0 ) and surface adsorbed oxygen species over the Pt/ZrO 2 -EP catalyst. Our preliminary findings underscore that precise modulation of sensitive active sites on surfaces plays a critical role in specific catalytic reactions.

The 3D flower-like Ni–Co–S was synthesized by a typical hydrothermal method in the presence of urea and thioacetamide. As comparison, the urchin-like Ni–Co–O was prepared in the absence of thioacetamide. The former processed higher electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation than the latter. Ni–Co–S exhibited the anodic peak current density of 19.23 mA/cm 2 for methanol oxidation, far higher than Ni–Co–O. It also showed the Tafel slopes of 57 mV/dec, much lower than Ni–Co–O. The BET results showed that the surface area and pore volume are 96.373 m 2 /g and 0.367 cm 3 /g for the flower-like Ni–Co–S, which is higher than 88.736 m 2 /g and 0.224 cm 3 /g for the urchin-like Ni–Co–O. As a result, the flower-like Ni–Co–S possessed more electroactive sites for methanol oxidation. The superhydrophobicity of the flower-like Ni–Co–S helps for the formation of micro air film on the surface of flower petals. Such a tri-phase interface of Ni–Co–S solid, reaction solution and air film may help for the electrocatalytic oxidation of Ni–Co–S toward methanol oxidation since the produced CO 2 can leave the surface of Ni–Co–S quickly and enter into solution phase due to the presence of air film and high solubility of CO 2 in aqueous solution.

Co/MgO, Co/SiO 2 and Co/Hβ catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. The formation of MgO-CoO solid solution and MgCo 2 O 4 spinel in Co/MgO resulted in high dispersions of Co on MgO even at the low calcined temperatures and the high Co loadings. The second impregnation of Co on Co/MgO enhanced Co cations in surface/subsurface of catalysts, which led to the enlarged metallic Co particle sizes by H 2 reduction. Comparatively, the highly dispersion of Co was only observed on SiO 2 and Hβ at the low Co loadings owing to the Co δ + species of strong interactions with these supports. The solid solution/spinel and the strongly interacted Co δ + species induced the Co cations reduced at higher temperatures with obtaining the small Co particle sizes. These cases also significantly decreased the basicities of Co/MgO depending on calcined temperature and Co loadings, and increased the acidic sites of Co/SiO 2 and Co/Hβ with obtaining enhanced acidities, respectively. During hydrogenolysis processing, the basic sites of Co/MgO triggers the splitting of acyl C O bond of methyl heptanoate to form heptanal and methanol, followed by further hydrogenation of heptanal to 1-heptanol. While the acidic Co/SiO 2 and Co/Hβ induce the cracking of ether C O bond to heptanoic acid and CH 4 . Heptanoic acid intermediate is then converted into C 6 and C 7 alkanes by the parallel decarbonylation and HDO pathways, respectively. The activity and product distribution could be facilely mediated by the synergistic catalysis of metal and acid/base. Under optimal conditions, the maximal 1-heptanol and summed C 6 /C 7 alkanes yields of 55% and 89% were observed over Co/MgO and Co/SiO 2 with desire Co loadings, respectively, indicating the promising applications of these catalysts in hydrogenolysis of vegetable oils.

The significant carrier recombination occurring in the bulk of BiVO4 is a primary factor limiting the enhancement of its photoelectrochemical performance. To address this issue, we have incorporated two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet morphology Bi:ZnIn2S4 and Co sites onto the surface of BiVO4 to create an effective composite photoanode. According to the ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy results, it was inferred that a Z-scheme transfer path of charges was formed between BiVO4 and Bi:ZnIn2S4, which promoted the separation of bulk phase carriers. Additionally, the 2D topography of Bi:ZnIn2S4 also shortens the transmission distance of the carriers. Furthermore, the presence of Co sites provides more active sites for the surface hydrolysis reaction to proceed. Ultimately, under AM1.5G illumination, the photocurrent density of the BiVO4/Bi:ZnIn2S4-Co photoanode reaches 3.6 mA cm–2 at 1.23 V vs reversible hydrogen electrodes.

Coking reverse osmosis concentrates (ROCs) are characterized by a high organic content, complex composition, and difficulty in biological degradation. To achieve the zero liquid discharge (ZLD) strategy, ROCs need to be treated urgently. This work aims to prepare a modified catalyst under high-efficiency activated alumina (γ-Al 2 O 3 ) loaded with Fe and Co bimetals and to degrade m-cresol as a typical pollutant in actual coking ROCs. The results showed that Fe and Co metals were successfully loaded. Meanwhile, the catalyst enhances the reactive active sites, reduces the activation energy of the reaction, and improves the degradation efficiency. The degradation mechanism and removal process were investigated. The results showed that with the optimal conditions, as ozone dosage of 50 mg/L, gas flow rate of 400 mL/min, catalyst dosage of 30 g/L, and pH value of 9, the removal rates of COD, TOC, and UV 254 were 75.61 %, 56.22 %, and 84.14 %, respectively. This study provides a better treatment option for the degradation of m-cresols in coking ROCs.

Pt-based catalysts are widely used in hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) for the anode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). However, high Pt loading and CO poisoning increase the overall cost and stringent requirements for fuel purity. Here, decreasing Pt usage while achieving high anode performance by anchoring Ni single atoms under or adjacent to Pt nanoclusters is studied. The electron interaction between oxophilic Ni single atoms and Pt nanoclusters is beneficial for optimizing the electrocatalytic HOR. The Pt-Ni SA /CNT-2.6 (CNT-carbon nanotube) catalyst with 2.6 wt% low Pt loading shows superior catalytic activity for the HOR, long-time stability, and good CO-tolerant performance in the liquid half-cell and fuel cell of membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Theoretical calculations reveal that the synergy between single atoms and nanoclusters optimizes the d band of Pt and decreases the activation barrier for HOR and CO stripping, thereby enhancing HOR activity and high CO tolerance in PEMFC anodes with a low Pt loading. This work provides a novel design of electron interactions between single atoms and Pt nanoclusters, showing a significant advantage in promoting low-Pt PEMFCs with high power and CO tolerance.

Catalytic combustion is one of effective ways to remove short-chain alkanes. In this study, we elaborately designed a novel catalyst of in situ Co-Mn decorated LaMnO 3 perovskite for ethane catalytic combustion, in which extra Mn and Co species were introduced via acidic KMnO 4 and Co(NO 3 ) 2 solution precipitation method. The addition of Mn and Co could not only slightly etch LaMnO 3 , thereby increasing specific surface area and redox property, but also generate new active phase CoMn 2 O 4 , thus accelerating reaction. Among all the as-prepared catalysts, CMO/LMO-0.5 exhibited admirable ethane removal efficiency with a T 90 of 365 °C, a reaction rate of 0.46 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 , a TOF value of 0.64 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 , and excellent hydrothermal stability and reusability. Moreover, according to in situ DRIFTS, a possible pathway was proposed. This work can rationalize an alternative approach to develop an active catalyst for short-chain alkanes catalytic combustion or other catalytic systems.

Graphical This paper selectes MBioFs with copper ions as the metal center to design an MBioFs/PANI composite suitable for CO gas sensors. The morphology and nanostructure of the prepared materials were thoroughly analyzed, followed by testing their gas-sensing properties. Subsequently, the gas sensing mechanism of composite materials was proposed and discussed in detail. In addressing the issue of poor gas sensitivity in semiconductor CO sensor materials used in mining, such as pure PANI. This study utilized an ice-water bath in combination with an in-situ polymerization method to synthesize a new composite material consisting of Cu(II)-racemic glutamate nanofibers and PANI. The morphology, structure, and chemical bonds of the composite material were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and spectral analysis. The material's ability to detect CO (100–500 ppm) at room temperature was investigated, revealing a response value of up to 6.8 % for 400 ppm CO detection when the composite material was deposited on a ceramic interdigital electrode. The material exhibited good selectivity and responsiveness to CO detection at room temperature, attributed to the heterojunction formed between Cu(II)-racemic glutamate nanofibers and PANI, which enhanced carrier migration. Consequently, the Cu(II)-racemic glutamate nanofiber/PANI composite(Cu(II)-RGlu/PANI) material shows promise as a high-performance sensing material for CO detection at room temperature and as a low-power, integrable sensor material for underground coal mines. This research contributes to the development of a theoretical framework for such applications.

Recovery of sulfuric acid from industrial wastewater via electrodialysis (ED) has become a hot topic recently. Since the commercially used anion exchange membranes (AEM) generally lead to the severe proton leakage during ED process, the efficiency of the acid recovery was seriously affected. In this work, a series of proton blockage cross-linking AEM has been prepared by modifying poly(vinylidene fluoride- co -hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF- co -HFP) with 1-vinylimidazole, followed by crosslinking with 1,4-dibromobutane. Our investigation demonstrates that the as-prepared PVDF- co -HFP-based AEM has the observable asymmetric structure on the two sides of the AEM with a smooth and dense surface and a rough and porous surface. The asymmetric structure and the hydrophobicity of the fluorinated backbone of AEM render the improved proton blocking performance, and the increased electrical efficiency and reduced energy consumption of acid recovery. For example, the optimized AEM (AEM-0.5) exhibits the acid concentration with the values of c H + = 2.04 M (initial proton concentration: 1.0 M) in concentrate cell during 12 h-ED process at current density of 20 mA cm −2 and low energy consumption of 1.75 kw·h·kg −1 relative to the commercial NEOSEPTA® AHA and proton blockage ACM AEM. It is believed that this study can provide a guideline for designing advanced proton blocking AEMs.

The development of efficient Cu–Ce catalysts for selective CO oxidation in hydrogen streams (CO-PROX) remains a critical challenge for hydrogen purification technologies. Herein, we report an acid-modified Cu–Ce/γ-Al2O3 catalyst synthesized through HCl-assisted wet impregnation and thermal aging, demonstrating exceptional low-temperature CO-PROX performance. The optimized CuCe0.8(Cl)0.2/γ-Al2O3 catalyst achieves superior CO conversion below 160 °C and maintains stable activity for 50 h at 160 °C. Mechanistic studies reveal that HCl modification induces dual enhancement effects: (1) increased Cu+ species density enhances CO adsorption capacity; (2) elevated Ce3+ concentration promotes oxygen vacancy formation for efficient O2 activation. Complementary characterization demonstrates that the acid treatment optimizes the active species dispersion and creates hierarchical pore structures in the γ-Al2O3 support, which facilitates reactant accessibility and stabilizes catalytic intermediates. The reaction mechanism involves synergistic cooperation between Cu+-mediated CO adsorption, oxygen vacancy-assisted O2 activation, and hydroxyl-assisted bicarbonate intermediate formation on the alumina support. This work establishes an effective acid-modification strategy for designing durable CO-PROX catalysts, advancing the development of a practical hydrogen purification system.

Solid-state sintering method was used for the synthesis of Mg 1−x Co x SiO 3 (x = 0–0.25) ceramics. Phase, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were investigated. With increase in Co 2+ content, the increase was observed in the lattice parameters. The Q u f o value of MgSiO 3 was enhanced from 103,453 to 145,846 GHz with increasing the value of x content from 0 to 0.15. The Co 2+ substitution also led to an obvious decrease in the sintering temperature by ~ 100 °C. Clino-enstatite phase formed for the composition with x = 0 while Proto-enstatite formed as the major along with minor clino-enstatite phase for the compositions with x > 0. Good dielectric properties at microwave frequencies i.e. ε r ~ 8.11, Q u f o ~ 145,846 GHz and τ f ~ − 12 ppm/°C were obtained for the composition with x = 0.15 sintered at 1350 °C for 9 h. This is suggested to be a very favorable dielectric material for millimeterwave applications.

The enhanced utilization of biomass-derived chemicals for the generation of high value aromatics through an advanced catalytic strategy has captured considerable attention within the realm of eco-friendly manufacturing. This work presented four innovative three-dimensional rod-shaped mesoporous Ce-based MOF materials, which were coupled with a H-donor solvent to facilitate vanillin hydrodeoxygenation and macromolecular lignin. Under the optimized conditions (30 mg CoCe@C catalyst, 2 MPa N 2 pressure, 15 mL isopropanol, 190 °C, and 5 h), the CoCe@C catalyst achieved nearly complete conversion of vanillin and demonstrated 87.8 % selectivity in the hydrogen-donor solvent. The characterization findings suggested that the synergy between metallic Co and oxygen vacancy sites enabled the effective activation of CHO group in vanillin, leading to formation of reactive product MMP . In addition, the optimal CoCe@C catalyst could also achieve macromolecular lignin hydrodeoxygenation to obtain high yield of lignin oil products with narrower molecular weight distribution . This study presented a viable approach for the concurrent utilization of lignin derivatives in the generation of high value fuels and chemicals.
