The comparative effect of particle size and support acidity on hydrogenation of aromatic ketones
Published 2019A comparative study was reported for both the effects of shape‐confined cubic Pd particle size (8, 13, and 21 nm) and surface property of most commonly used supports (SiO2, Al2O3, and silica‐alumina) on catalytic performance ...Open AccessArticle -
Composition-structure-function correlation of Ca/Zn/AlOx catalysts for the ketonization of acetic acid
Published 2020Ketonization can efficiently convert carboxylic acids into ketones, promising in bio-oil upgrading. For economic-sustainable bio-refining, Ca/Zn/AlOx (CZA) metal oxides with various Ca/Zn/Al ratios have been prepared by ...Open AccessArticle -
Insight into Three‐Coordinate Aluminum Species on Ethanol‐to‐Olefin Conversion over ZSM‐5 Zeolites
Published 2019Commercial bioethanol can be readily converted into ethylene by a dehydration process using solid acids, such as Brønsted acidic H‐ZSM‐5 zeolites, and thus, it is an ideal candidate to replace petroleum and coal for the ...Open AccessArticle -
Confinement Impact for the Dynamics of Supported Metal Nanocatalyst
Published 2018Supported metal nanoparticles play key roles in nanoelectronics, sensors, energy storage/conversion, and catalysts for the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. Direct observation of the dynamic processes of ...Open AccessArticle -
Active sites and mechanism of the direct conversion of methane and carbon dioxide to acetic acid over the zincmodified H-ZSM-5 zeolite
Published 2019Conversion of CH4 and CO2 to higher value chemicals will contribute to alleviating green-house gas emissions and the global fossil fuel shortage. Introducing metals into zeolites is used to catalytically convert CH4 and ...Open AccessArticle
