Enhancing hydrogen production from the pyrolysis-gasification of biomass by size-confined Ni catalysts on acidic MCM-41 supports
Published 2018Hydrogen, currently produced from the reforming of fossil fuel resources, is a significant source for clean energy and the chemical industry. It is promising to develop a high-efficiency hydrogen production process from ...Open AccessArticle -
Unravelling the effects of layered supports on Ru nanoparticles for enhancing N2 reduction in photocatalytic ammonia synthesis
Published 2019Harnessing the vast supply of solar energy as the driving force to produce ammonia from abundant nitrogen gas and water is beneficial for both relieving energy demands and developing sustainable chemical industry. Bulk ...Open AccessArticle -
High population and dispersion of pentacoordinated AlV species on the surface of flame-made amorphous silicaalumina
Published 2019Pentacoordinated Al (AlV) species in silica-alumina are promising to promote the formation of acid sites or act as surface defects for tailoring single-atom catalysts. However, pentahedral coordination (AlV) is rarely ...Open AccessArticle -
Shedding light on the atomic-scale structure of amorphous silica–alumina and its Brønsted acid sites
Published 2019-01-01In spite of the widespread applications of amorphous silica–aluminas (ASAs) in many important industrial chemical processes, their high-resolution structures have remained largely elusive. Specifically, the lack of long-range ...Open AccessArticle -
Cooperation of hierarchical pores with strong Brønsted acid sites on SAPO-34 catalysts for the glycerol dehydration to acrolein
Published 2020The hierarchical SAPO-34 zeolites have been prepared with the simultaneous generation of strong Brønsted acid sites (BASs) via a post-synthetic method, which allows the cooperation of the positive effects of both porous ...Open AccessArticle
