A novel solar active AgBr/BiOBr/TiO 2 catalyst was synthesized by a facile coprecipitation method for solar-driven water remediation . The synthesized material composed of flower-like TiO 2 nanoparticles loaded on BiOBr nanosheets and with homogeneous surface distributed Ag/AgBr nanoparticles. The internal electric field between BiOBr/TiO 2 heterojunction greatly facilitated the charge carrier migration; the introduction of narrow band gap semiconductors (AgBr and BiOBr) promoted the visible light adsorption; and the Ag/AgBr nanoparticles acted as photosensitizer to further improve the light utilization. The new material showed 7.6- and 4.0-times activity of pure TiO 2 and BiOBr under solar light, and the contribution of reactive species on anthracene degradation followed the order of h + > O 2 • − > •OH. The degradation mechanism and pathway were proposed based on intermediates analysis and DFT calculation. The QSAR analysis revealed that the environmental risks of contaminants were greatly reduced during the photocatalysis process but some intermediates were still toxic. The high photocatalytic activity, stability and adaptability all indicated that this new material owns great application potential for cost-effective photocatalytic remediation of persistent organic contaminants under solar light.

To efficiently convert ethanol into C 4+ olefins without an external hydrogen supply, this study designed an anatase-supported zinc oxide catalyst (ZnO/TiO 2 -A). Combining characterizations with kinetics measurements, we infer that the highly dispersed Zn-O-Ti sites efficiently promote ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde, which is identified as the rate-limiting step. Concurrently, Ti-O sites with strong C-C coupling ability convert acetaldehyde into high-carbon enal intermediates, which subsequently undergo hydrogenation and dehydration to yield C 4+ olefins with a high formation rate of 43.96 mmol C-atom ·g cat. −1 ·h −1 , outperforming most reported catalysts in the literature. Crucially, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis confirms that ethanol acts as an intrinsic hydrogen donor, supplying active hydrogen for the hydrogenation of C C and C O bonds in enal intermediates, thereby obviating the need for external hydrogen. This work presents a new strategy employing a non-precious metal oxide catalytic system for upgrading ethanol to high-value products.

Transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated nitro compounds by NH 3 BH 3 is an important hydrogenation reaction. Among them, Au/TiO 2 catalysts could achieve good activity for this reaction, but often have problem such as the selectivity decline. In this study, we prepare PVA-wrapped Au nanoparticles, and then load them onto TiO 2 support to obtain Au/TiO 2 catalyst. We demonstrate that the prepared catalyst after calcination has achieved high activity (>99 %) and high selectivity (99 %) in the transfer hydrogenation of 4-nitrostyrene (4-NS) within 30 min by NH 3 BH 3 under ambient temperature and pressure. In addition, the catalyst can still maintain high selectivity (>97 %) after being recycled for 5 times, showing its remarkable stability and reusability. Characterization results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that the presence of Au-OH species accelerates the dehydrogenation of NH 3 BH 3 and thus enhances the catalytic activity. Meanwhile, Au-OH species and low-coordinated Au are beneficial to enhance nitro adsorption and improve the selectivity of transfer hydrogenation reaction. This study provides new ideas for the rational design of high-performance green gold catalytic transfer hydrogenation reactions.

The influence of phosphorus (P) on ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH 3 -SCR) catalysts has been the subject of considerable scrutiny. Nevertheless, the precise mechanism of its influence remains a matter of contention. Furthermore, the impact of introducing P at varying stages during catalyst preparation process and its different sites within the catalyst structure on performance is frequently disregarded, significantly hindering practical guidance for designing effective modified catalysts. In this study, a series of P-modified CeO 2 /TiO 2 catalysts were synthesized by introducing P at different preparation stages, and various of characterization and comparison experiments were conducted to elucidate the effect of introducing P at different stages on NH 3 -SCR performance of NO x . Results show that introducing P before loading CeO 2 boosts catalyst activity, whereas delaying the introduction of P results in decreased activity and a progressive decline in catalyst performance as the sequence of P introduction is postponed. P introduced earlier tends to be distributed on the surface of the TiO 2 support, which contributes to the dispersion and anchoring of Ce species. In contrast, when the introduction of P was delayed, it tended to be distributed on the surface of the active species, which led to pore plugging and active sites being covered. Secondly, the variation in loading sites resulting from alterations in the stage of P introduction significantly affected on the chemical environment of Ce species, leading to notable differences in the redox capacity of the catalysts. This is the primary reason for the considerable discrepancy in the SCR performance of the catalysts. This study revealed the sensitivity of the stage of P introduction to CeO 2 /TiO 2 catalysts, providing new insights for designing modified CeO 2 /TiO 2 catalysts.

A series of Zr-TiO2catalysts were prepared using a facile sol-gel method and were used for N-methylmorpholine (NMM) oxidation to N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO). The structure features of Zr-TiO2catalysts were studied in detail through a variety of characterization methods, such as XRD, SEM, N2adsorption-desorption isotherms, XPS, EPR, and O2-TPD. As-obtained 5%Zr-TiO2catalysts had superior catalytic performance and stability with a 97.6% NMMO yield at 40 °C, which related to Zr doping, a higher surface area, more oxygen vacancies, and oxygen chemisorption on the catalytic surface. This work provides an efficient preparation strategy of TiO2-based catalysts for selective oxidation reactions by a facile method.

Cerium is widely used as a modifier to enhance the catalytic performance of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts due to its exceptional low-temperature properties. However, the effects of different cerium precursors on catalytic performance remains unclear. In this study, VO x -WO x /TiO 2 catalysts are modified using Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O (cata-N), CeO 2 (cata-O), and Ce(OH) 4 (cata-OH), and their synergistic removal of NO x and chlorobenzene (CB), as well as their resistance to water and sulfur poisoning, were systematically investigated. Among the tested catalysts, cata-N demonstrated superior CB (45.0–93.3 %) and NO x (31.9–90.37 %) removal efficiencies under synergistic conditions, along with excellent water resistance (T 90 = 193 °C with 5 % H 2 O). In contrast, cata-OH exhibited the highest sulfur resistance, maintaining a denitrification efficiency of 20 % after 10 h of sulfur exposure, compared to 9 % for cata-N and 8 % for cata-O. Characterization revealed that Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O improved cerium dispersion, leading to enhanced the redox properties and acidity (especially Brønsted acid sites (BAS)) in cata-N. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and In-situ Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy ( In-situ DRIFTS) results revealed that the well-dispersed cerium atoms contributed additional BAS in the form of Ce–OH, while also forming Ti–O–Ce bonds. These Ti–O–Ce bonds facilitated the formation of Ti–OH on the TiO 2 surface. Ti–OH significantly enhanced the adsorption of NH 3 and CB, thereby promoting both the NH 3 -SCR and CB oxidation processes. This study offers new insights into the role of cerium precursors and provides a practical strategy for tuning BAS of catalysts in multiple pollutants removal.

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae Nannochloropsis (NAS) over various transition metal M/TiO 2 (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, and Mn) was investigated. Ni/TiO 2 was the most effective catalyst to improve the yield and quality of biocrude and the liquefaction conversion. Ni/TiO 2 was characterized by XRD, XRF, and XPS. The research of Effect of reaction temperature on HTL of NAS over Ni/TiO 2 suggested that 300 °C led to a maximum biocrude yield of 48.23% and the highest liquefaction conversion of 89.28%. Adding Ni/TiO 2 catalyst reduced the viscosity and provided more light-fraction in biocrude while brought a slight increase in total acid number (TAN). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis demonstrated that adding Ni/TiO 2 considerably changed the composition of biocrude and the possible pathways were discussed. Reproduction test showed the Ni/TiO 2 has an excellent reproduction ability in HTL of NAS.

In this study, human feces were hydrothermal liquefied and converted into biocrude over Ni-Tm/TiO 2 catalyst. The influence of catalysts, reaction temperature, and holding time on the distribution of products and element content of biocrude was assessed. The biocrude yield increased to 53.16% with a reaction temperature of 330 °C, a holding time of 30 min, and adding Ni-Tm/TiO 2 catalyst while the liquefaction conversion peaked at 89.61%. The biocrude had an HHV of 36.64 MJ/kg and was similar to heavy crude oil. The biocrude is rich in fatty acid amides, esters, and oxygen-containing-only heteroatom-ring compounds as well as some nitrogen-containing heteroatom-ring compounds. The main gaseous products were CO 2 , CH 4 , and C 2 H 6 . Hydrothermal liquefaction over Ni-Tm/TiO 2 catalyst could be a potential method to handle human excrement treatment and produce biofuel.

A novel Zr–CeVO4/TiO2 catalyst was developed for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3. Both TiO2 nanosheets (TiO2-NS) and nanoparticles (TiO2-NP) with different crystal facets were used as supports for the catalyst. It was found that the TiO2-NS-supported catalyst showed much better activity, stability and H2O/SO2 durability than the TiO2-NP-supported catalyst. In particular, the catalyst loading amount was much lower than those of previously reported vanadate-based SCR catalysts. The crystal structures and morphologies were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and (high-resolution) transmission electron microscopy ((HR)TEM). The redox properties, surface active species and acid sites of the catalysts were investigated through hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ammonia and nitrogen oxide temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD and NOx-TPD) and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (in situ DRIFTs) experiments. The improved activity at lower temperature was due to the presence of more active oxygen species and Brønsted acid sites, as well as the formation of NO2 on the surface of the TiO2 nanosheets which have exposed (001) facets. The enhanced stability and H2O/SO2 durability of Zr–CeVO4/TiO2-NS was due to the limited formation of NH4NO3 and (NH4)2SO4/NH4HSO4. The excellent low operation temperature, low vanadium content and absence of WO3(MoO3) in this catalyst indicated that it has promising potential as a SCR catalyst for practical applications.

In SCR denitrification technology, the conventional coprecipitation method has the disadvantages of high temperature and difficulty in controlling the precipitation rate. Various Ce x CuTiO 2 catalysts were synthesized using ice-melting (Ce x CuTi-Ice) and conventional coprecipitation (Ce x CuTi-Con) methods for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH 3 . Ce 0.4 CuTi-Ice catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity among the Ce x CuTiO 2 catalysts, and 80% NO x conversion was achieved within a temperature range of 250–375 °C, exceeding that of Ce 0.4 CuTi-Con catalyst by 20%; in addition, N 2 selectivity was nearly 100%. To elucidate the release characteristics of the precursor solution during ice-melting synthesis, the changes of Cu and Ce concentrations in the solution were investigated by ICP-OES. The precursor solution was released at a slow rate via the ice-melting method, resulting in a large surface area, small crystallite sizes, and effective uniform nanoparticles with abundant active species and increased surface acidity. The promoted mechanism could be attributed to the enhanced oxidation of NO to NO 2 at low temperatures and the rapid reaction between NO species and coordinated NH 3 at high temperatures. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

The performance of many supported metal catalysts is markedly enhanced by promoters. Here, we demonstrate the introduction of Mo into TiO 2 -supported IrMo catalysts greatly boosts the 3-vinylaniline (3-VA) selectivity of the hydrogenation of 3-nitrostyrene (3-NS). With the rise of Mo component in IrMo/TiO 2 catalysts, the Ir that activate H 2 are surrounded by more Mo species and become more oxidized, which prevents flat adsorption of 3-NS on Ir; meanwhile, Mo(V) species that are favorable for activation of nitro group of 3-NS increase, thus the synergistic effect affords excellent 3-VA selectivity. The optimal catalyst 1Ir9Mo/TiO 2 displays 99.8% selectivity of 3-VA at a 100% conversion. It also shows good recyclability and universality in selectively reducing unsaturated nitroarenes to corresponding anillines with exceptional selectivity.

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.
