Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) represents a highly efficient refining pathway to convert lignin-derived phenolic compounds for the production of hydrocarbon fuels, and the selection of a suitable catalyst is pivotal for a high reaction efficiency. In this study, we introduce a novel highly dispersed Pt/Al2O3–TiO2 composite catalyst that is prepared via a photochemical reduction method and employ it for the HDO of lignin-derived phenolic compounds. The catalyst demonstrates a good HDO performance, achieving complete conversion of guaiacol at 260 °C with cyclohexane selectivity of 99.9%. Catalyst characterization results reveal that the Pt/Al2O3–TiO2 catalyst exhibits a high Pt metal dispersion. Besides, the composite support synergistically combines the properties of Al2O3 and TiO2 components, resulting in a high specific surface area, moderate acidity, and abundant oxygen vacancy. These factors facilitate the provision of numerous active metal sites and acid sites those are essential for the HDO reaction. Moreover, the Pt/Al2O3–TiO2 catalyst also shows a high activity on the HDO of various other phenolic compounds. When applied to the upgrading of lignin oil, the catalyst significantly increases the hydrocarbon content from 18.9% to 92.2%, concurrently reducing the oxygen content and substantially increasing the hydrogen content of the lignin oil. The calorific value is significantly enhanced, underscoring the potential of the Pt/Al2O3–TiO2 composite catalyst to upgrade lignin-derived phenolic compounds into high-quality hydrocarbon liquid fuels.

The emerging oscillatory pressure sintering technology is used to prepare high-performance Al 2 O 3 -Ti(C,N) ceramic tools for high-speed cutting. By recording the displacement during sintering, the sintering shrinkage rate of the Al 2 O 3 -Ti(C,N) composite was calculated, and the stress exponent n and sintering activation energy Q were calculated according to creep theory to determine the densification mechanism. In addition, the evolution of phases, microstructure and hardness of the composite was also observed. Results show that during oscillatory pressure sintering process at 1400 °C and 1300 °C, the stress exponent of Al 2 O 3 -Ti(C,N) composite is around 2.2 and the sintering activation energy is 486 kJ mol −1 , indicating that the densification mechanism is a diffusion-controlled grain boundary sliding of Al 2 O 3 phase. Additionally, as the oscillatory pressure increases, the average grain size of the Al 2 O 3 decreases and the Vickers hardness increases. Hardness achieves the highest 22.7 GPa when the median oscillatory pressure is 70 MPa at 1400 °C, which is 1 GPa higher than that of static pressure of 70 MPa.

Alloying Cu-based catalysts by doping other metals at single atom level is an effective way to improve their hydrogenation performance of biomass-derived molecules. However, the application of Cu-based single atom alloy catalyst in the catalytic hydrogen transfer reaction system remains to be unrevealed. Here, we develop Al 2 O 3 supported CuPd alloy catalysts, among which the single atom alloy catalyst with Pd dispersed in single atomic level on the surface was successfully obtained by controlling the metal amount, such as Cu 8 Pd 1 /Al 2 O 3 with the Cu/Pd Molar ratio of 8: 1. The catalytic performance for furfural hydrodeoxygenation to 2-methylfuran of the CuPd/Al 2 O 3 catalysts, using isopropanol as a hydrogen donor, shows a volcano-type relationship to the Cu/Pd ratio. The highest 2-methylfuran yield (81% at 220 °C) was achieved on the single atom alloy catalyst Cu 8 Pd 1 /Al 2 O 3 . The underlying reaction mechanism of furfural hydrodeoxidation on Cu 8 Pd 1 /Al 2 O 3 was revealed by a series of isotopic labeling experiments, that the furfural was firstly hydrogenated to be furfuralcohol by a metal site-mediated catalytic transfer hydrogenation pathway, and then the furfuralcohol was converted to be 2-methylfuran by a Lewis acid-mediated furan ring activation route. The weak Lewis acid site that formed by single atom Pd alloyed with CuO matrix on Cu 8 Pd 1 /Al 2 O 3 was proposed as the active site for the highly selective generation of 2-methylfuran.

Effects of trace oxygen on iron sulphides-supported catalysts (FeS x /γ-Al 2 O 3 ) were evaluated through smelter off-gas reduction process for sulphur synthesis. Catalytic performance was evaluated under different oxygen content conditions. The properties of fresh and used catalysts were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and elemental analysis and relationships of active phases and activity were analyzed. The relationship between different active crystal crystals (FeS x , FeS 2 , Fe, FeO, γ-Fe 2 O 3 ) and SO 2 /O 2 adsorption and conversion was investigated. The mechanism of oxygen influence on the FeS x /γ-Al 2 O 3 surface was given and the lifetime of the catalyst in the reaction atmosphere close to real smelter off-gas after dust and oxygen removal steps containing trace oxygen (0.5 O 2 v/v.%) was explored.

Catalytic hydrodesulfurization (HDS) technique is widely used for clean gasoline production. However, traditional HDS catalyst (CoMo/γ-Al 2 O 3 ) exhibits high hydrogenation performance of olefins (HYDO), resulting in the loss of gasoline octane number. To achieve high HDS/HYDO ratio, the key issue is to reduce the interaction between active metals and the support, therefore, in this research, the modified CoMo/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts with various boron amounts were investigated under traditional or microwave heating. The effects of preparing methods as well as boron amounts on the active phase, acidic properties and HDS catalytic activities were examined. Results show that the modification, especially under microwave treatment, can significantly weaken the interaction between the active component and the support by enlarging the surface area and pore diameter, and reducing the acidity of the support. As a result, the stacking numbers of MoS 2 slabs were obviously improved by the modification and microwave treatment, contributing to higher edge/ rim ratio, and resulting in higher HDS performance and selectivity to olefin.

Photo-Fenton membranes exhibit exceptional self-cleaning and anti-fouling performances, making them promising for oil/water separation applications. However, the practical use of photo-Fenton catalytic reaction is limited as it requires an acidic environment. In this study, a polyethersulfone (PES)/Fe 3 S 4 @Al 2 O 3 membrane was fabricated using nonsolvent-induced phase separation. This resulted in a photo-Fenton separation membrane with a broad pH range applicability, leveraging the high catalytic activity of Fe 3 S 4 and the unique Lewis acid properties of Al 2 O 3 . The findings indicate that the optimized membranes can achieve a separation efficiency of over 99.3 % for various oil/water emulsions. The membrane demonstrates exceptional self-cleaning performance and stability, maintaining a separation efficiency of over 99 % even after 10 cycles of oil/water emulsion separation. Additionally, the membrane exhibited a catalytic degradation efficiency of 100 % for MB, RhB and MO under visible light in pH range of 2–12. The high separation efficiency, stability, self-cleaning performance, and wide pH range of these membranes make them promising candidates for long-term oily wastewater purification.

Short carbon fibers were treated with an ultrasonic-enhanced liquid-phase oxidation method and introduced into Al 2 O 3 -C refractories. The effects of different liquid-phase preoxidized carbon fibers on the mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance of the refractories were compared and investigated. The results indicate that ultrasonic-enhanced liquid-phase preoxidation can effectively modify the surface of carbon fibers, thereby affecting the structural evolution and usage effect of carbon fibers in Al 2 O 3 -C refractories. Appropriate liquid-phase preoxidation treatment for carbon fibers can enhance their strengthening effect on the mechanical properties of Al 2 O 3 -C refractories. After the addition of carbon fibers treated with liquid-phase preoxidation for 20 min, compared to the refractories without carbon fibers, the cold modulus of rupture, cold crushing strength, and hot modulus of rupture of Al 2 O 3 -C refractories (after 1300°C heat treatment) increased by 15.4%, 10.3%, and 36.7%, respectively. Furthermore, the introduction of liquid-phase preoxidized carbon fibers can have a positive effect on the thermal shock resistance and toughness ratio of Al 2 O 3 -C refractories.

The in-situ hydrodeoxygenation of bio-derived phenol is an attractive routine for upgrading bio-oils. Herein, an active trimetallic Ni-Cu-Co/Al2O3catalyst was prepared and applied in the in-situ hydrodeoxygenation of bio-derived phenol. Comparison with the monometallic Ni/Al2O3catalyst and the bimetallic Ni-Co/Al2O3and Ni-Cu/Al2O3catalysts, the Ni-Cu-Co/Al2O3catalyst exhibited the highest catalytic activity because of the formation of Ni-Cu-Co alloy on the catalyst characterized by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), N2physisorption, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The phenol conversion of 100% and the cyclohexane yield of 98.3% could be achieved in the in-situ hydrodeoxygenation of phenol at 240 °C and 4 MPa N2for 6 h. The synergistic effects of Ni with Cu and Co of the trimetallic Ni-Cu-Co/Al2O3catalyst played a significant role in the in-situ hydrodeoxygenation process of phenol, which not only had a positive effect on the production of hydrogen but also owned an excellent hydrogenolysis activity to accelerate the conversion of cyclohexanol to cyclohexane. Furthermore, the catalyst also exhibited excellent recyclability and good potential for the upgrading of bio-oils.Keywords:bio-derived phenol;Ni-Cu-Co/Al2O3;in-situ hydrodeoxygenation;cyclohexane;hydrogenolysis

A series of metal-Al 2 O 3 catalysts were prepared simply by the conventional impregnation with Al 2 O 3 and metal chlorides, which were applied to the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). An agreeable HMF yield of 93.1% was achieved from fructose at mild conditions (100°C and 40 min) when employing Cr(III)-Al 2 O 3 as catalyst in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl). The Cr(III)-Al 2 O 3 catalyst was characterized via XRD, DRS and Raman spectra and the results clarified the interaction between the Cr(III) and the alumina support. Meanwhile, the reaction solvents ([Bmim]Cl) collected after 1 st reaction run and 5 th reaction run were analyzed by ICP-OES and LC-ITMS and the results confirmed that no Cr(III) ion was dropped off from the alumina support during the fructose dehydration. Notably, Cr(III)-Al 2 O 3 catalyst had an excellent catalytic performance for glucose and sucrose and the HMF yields were reached to 73.7% and 84.1% at 120°C for 60 min, respectively. Furthermore, the system of Cr(III)-Al 2 O 3 and [Bmim]Cl exhibited a constant stability and activity at 100°C for 40 min and a favorable HMF yield was maintained after ten recycles.

Zinc is a widely used anode material for zinc-ion batteries. However, the problems of dendrites and side reactions faced by the metal zinc anode limit its cycle stability and service life. Surface modification is a simple and effective strategy for preparing high-performance anodes. Here, we used a simple method to coat the γ-Al 2 O 3 on surface of metal zinc as an artificial protective layer for the anode/electrolyte. γ-Al 2 O 3 coating can guide the uniform deposition of zinc ions . The coating has good hydrophilicity, which is conducive to accelerate ion transmission. In addition, the importance of controlling the thickness of protective layer on surface of zinc metal anode to obtain good electrochemical performance is emphasized. The appropriate thickness of Al 2 O 3 coating ensures the rapid migration of zinc ions and improves the uniformity of zinc plating/stripping, which is conducive to more uniform zinc nucleation and high-quality deposition. Therefore, the discharge capacity of Zn@Al 2 O 3 -15 full cell at a current density of 0.3 A g −1 is 174.3 mAh g −1 , which is much higher than that of bare zinc cell (71.8 mAh g −1 ). This work has certain reference significance for the development of anode coating strategies in zinc-ion batteries.

Sulfonated carbon/γ-Al 2 O 3 composites (AlSC-x, x = 1, 2, 3) were successfully prepared by the three-step method of impregnation-carbonization-sulfonation. The introduction of sulfonated sucrose-based carbon onto nano-γ-Al 2 O 3 enhanced its Brønsted acidity and weakened the original Lewis acidity. The Brønsted/Lewis acidity of the composite catalysts can be regulated by controlling the sulfonated carbon intake. AlSC-1 containing suitable Brønsted/Lewis acidity showed the best catalytic performance for converting glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). In monophasic DMSO/H 2 O (2.0/0.2 mL), an HMF yield of 62.3 % was achieved at 160 °C and 4.0 h when 0.02 g of glucose and 0.02 g of AlSC-1 were used. Adding a moderate amount of water into DMSO is crucial to improve HMF selectivity, and the DMSO/H 2 O system exhibited superior performance to other solvent systems, such as pure water, 1,4-dioxane/H 2 O, and GVL/H 2 O. More importantly, the recyclability of AlSC-1 was pretty good. In addition, AlSC-1 also exhibited much better performance than the other composite catalysts, including sulfonated carbon/nano-TiO 2 , sulfonated carbon/nano-ZrO 2 , and sulfonated carbon/nano-SnO 2 .

γ-Al 2 O 3 without amorphous domains was synthesized by cation-anion double hydrolysis method. The mesopore size in the range of 3.9–8.5 nm was easily controlled by regulating crystallization temperature, solution pH value and the concentration of NaAlO 2 . The introduction of MoO 3 to the γ-Al 2 O 3 via impregnation method can lead to a decrease of specific surface areas, pore sizes and pore volumes of the supports. The less steric hindrance of the larger mesopores (particularly 8.5 nm) exhibits the more Lewis acid sites over the γ-Al 2 O 3 . The MoO 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 possesses more Bronsted acid sites compared to Lewis. The thiophene compounds can be adsorbed both on the supports and catalysts. The acid sites can facilitate the interaction between the thiophene compounds and catalysts (or supports). The more adsorbed thiophene and dibenzothiophene on the catalysts is attributed to the coordinately unsaturated metal sites and Bronsted acid sites on the surface of the catalysts. Of note is the supports and catalysts with larger pore size (especially 8.5 nm) could promote the adsorption of thiophene compounds. It demonstrates that there is pore confinement effect in the hydrodesulfurization catalysts.
