Short Review
Abstract:
With the shape selective zeolite catalyst, toluene alkylation with methanol to para-xylene (MTPX) technology could produce highly pure para-xylene (PX) in one step. The lower feedstock cost and less energy consumption in products separation make it more competitive compared to the current toluene di...
Review article
Abstract:
Zeolites and zeo-type materials with nanosized dimensions are of great practical interest owing to their favorable transport properties, faster adsorption kinetics, and large external surface area. This mini-review presents recent developments in the organic template-free synthesis of nanosized zeol...

Abstract:
Basic zeolites have shown great potential as efficient catalysts for biodiesel production in the transesterification reactions. However, conventional three-dimensional (3D) basic zeolites generally suffer from limited base sites and severe mass-transfer restriction, thereby suppressing their catalyt...
Abstract:
The sluggish kinetics of Fe(Ⅱ) recovery in Fenton/Fenton-like reactions significantly limits the oxidation efficiency. In this study, we for the first time use boron carbide (BC) as a green and stable promotor to enhance the reaction of Fe(Ⅲ)/H2O2 for degradation of diverse organic pollutants. Elect...
Abstract:
Monolithic catalysts for CO2 methanation have become an active research area for the industrial development of Power-to-Gas technology. In this study, we developed a facile and reproducible synthesis strategy for the preparation of structured NiFe catalysts on washcoated cordierite monoliths for CO2...
Abstract:
Engineering unique electronic structure of catalyst to boost catalytic performance is of prime scientific and industrial importance. Herein, the identification of intrinsic electronic sensitivity for direct propene epoxidation was first achieved over highly stable Au/wormhole-like TS-1 catalyst. Res...
Abstract:
Heteroatom-doping of carbocatalysts has been a powerful strategy to remarkably enhance the catalytic performance. Herein, the underlying nature of N promotional effects on peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for phenol removal is understood by combining kinetics analysis with multiple techniques. A s...
Abstract:
Non-metallic nanocarbon materials catalyzed coupling reactions of primary amines to produce imine is an efficient, green and sustainable synthetic route, which has a wide application prospect in fine chemicals or pharmaceutical molecules. In the present study, we show firstly the relatively high cat...
Abstract:
To achieve efficient photocatalytic H2 generation from water using earth-abundant and cost-effective materials, a simple synthesis method for carbon-doped CdS particles wrapped with graphene (C-doped CdS@G) is reported. The doping effect and the application of graphene as co-catalyst for CdS is stud...
Abstract:
The advocacy of green chemical industry has led to the development of highly efficient catalysts for direct gas-phase propene epoxidation with green, sustainable and simple essence. The S-1/TS-1@dendritic-SiO2 material with three-layer core–shell structure was developed and used as the support for A...
Abstract:
Nitrogen-rich porous organic polymers (POPs) with basic features have already shown promising performance in various organic reactions. But the harsh conditions, tedious synthetic methods and the requirement of specific monomers impede their further application. Herein, we introduce isoindoline chem...
Abstract:
Tailoring valence electron delocalization of transition metal center is of importance to achieve highly-active electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we demonstrate a “poor sulfur” route to synthesize surface electron-deficient Co9S8 nanoarrays, where the binding energy (BE) o...
Abstract:
A non-noble-metal bifunctional catalyst with efficient and durable activity towards both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial to the development of rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Herein, a facile one-step hydrothermal method is reported for the synth...
Abstract:
Hydrogen is one of the most attractive renewables for future energy application, therefore it is vital to develop cost-effective and highly-efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) to promote the generation of hydrogen from mild methods. In this work, Co–Mo phosphide nano...
