Hydrogenation of Acetophenone on Pd/Silica−Alumina Catalysts with Tunable Acidity: Mechanistic Insight by In Situ ATR-IR Spectroscopy
Published 2018Understanding the cooperative action of metal and acid sites of bifunctional catalysts is essential for developing more efficient catalysts for greener chemical processes. We used in situ ATR-IR spectroscopy in tandem with ...Open AccessArticle -
Correlation between Acidity and Catalytic Performance of Mesoporous Zirconium Oxophosphate in Phenylglyoxal Conversion
Published 2019The one-step conversion of α-keto aldehydes to α-hydroxy carboxylic acids and their derivatives using solid acids is of great appeal in biomass utilization. In this work, ordered mesoporous zirconium oxophosphate (ZrPO) ...Article -
Tailoring High-Performance Pd Catalysts for Chemoselective Hydrogenation Reactions via Optimizing the Parameters of the Double-Flame Spray Pyrolysis
Published 2016Tuning the chemical composition during the synthesis is a widely used method to control the activity of catalysts. Here, we reported an alternative synthesis strategy to tune the catalytic properties of nanocatalysts without ...Open AccessArticle -
