Abstract The influence of Al2O3–ZrO2 and TiO2–ZrO2 supports on NiMo-supported catalysts at a different sulfur concentration in a model hydrodeoxygenation (HDO)-hydrodesulfurization (HDS) co-processing reaction has been studied in this work. A competition effect between phenol and dibenzothiophene (DBT) for active sites was evidenced. The competence for the active sites between phenol and DBT was measured by comparison of the initial reaction rate and selectivity at two sulfur concentrations (200 and 500 ppm S). NiMo/TiO2–ZrO2 was almost four-fold more active in phenol HDO co-processed with DBT than NiMo/Al2O3–ZrO2 catalyst. Consequently, more labile active sites are present on NiMo/TiO2–ZrO2 than in NiMo/Al2O3–ZrO2 confirmed by the decrease in co-processing competition for the active sites between phenol and DBT. DBT molecules react at hydrogenolysis sites (edge and rim) preferentially so that phenol reacts at hydrogenation sites (edge and edge). However, the hydrogenated capacity would be lost when the sulfur content was increased. In general, both catalysts showed similar functionalities but different degrees of competition according to the highly active NiMoS phase availability. TiO2–ZrO2 as the support provided weaker metal-support interaction than Al2O3–ZrO2, generating a larger fraction of easily reducible octahedrally coordinated Mo- and Ni-oxide species, causing that NiMo/TiO2–ZrO2 generated precursors of MoS2 crystallites with a longer length and stacking but with a higher degree of Ni-promotion than NiMo/Al2O3–ZrO2 catalyst.

AbstractDry reforming of methane (DRM) is an attractive route to utilize CO2 as a chemical feedstock with which to convert CH4 into valuable syngas and simultaneously mitigate both greenhouse gases. Ni-based DRM catalysts are promising due to their high activity and low cost, but suffer from poor stability due to coke formation which has hindered their commercialization. Herein, we report that atomically dispersed Ni single atoms, stabilized by interaction with Ce-doped hydroxyapatite, are highly active and coke-resistant catalytic sites for DRM. Experimental and computational studies reveal that isolated Ni atoms are intrinsically coke-resistant due to their unique ability to only activate the first C-H bond in CH4, thus avoiding methane deep decomposition into carbon. This discovery offers new opportunities to develop large-scale DRM processes using earth abundant catalysts.

Abstract Controllable synthesis of highly active micro/nanostructured metal electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a particularly significant and challenging target. Herein, we report a 3D porous sponge-like Ni material, prepared by a facile hydrothermal method and consisting of cross-linked micro/nanofibers, as an integrated binder-free OER electrocatalyst. To further enhance the electrocatalytic performance, an N-doping strategy is applied to obtain N-doped sponge Ni (N-SN) for the first time, via NH3 annealing. Due to the combination of the unique conductive sponge structure and N doping, the as-obtained N-SN material shows improved conductivity and a higher number of active sites, resulting in enhanced OER performance and excellent stability. Remarkably, N-SN exhibits a low overpotential of 365 mV at 100 mA cm−2 and an extremely small Tafel slope of 33 mV dec−1, as well as superior long-term stability, outperforming unmodified sponge Ni. Importantly, the combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and near-edge X-ray adsorption fine structure analyses shows that γ-NiOOH is the surface-active phase for OER. Therefore, the combination of conductive sponge structure and N-doping modification opens a new avenue for fabricating new types of high-performance electrodes with application in electrochemical energy conversion devices.

CuFe-containing catalysts with different copper oxide content were prepared by fusion of metal salts. The obtained catalyst showed high activity in the hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol (FA) in the batch reactor in the presence of isopropanol as a solvent at a temperature of 100 °C and a hydrogen pressure of 6.0 MPa. The yield of FA and furfural conversion are 97% and 98%, respectively. In the solvent-free reaction in the flow-type reactor; the most active catalyst Cu20Fe66Al14 leads to the 96% formation of FA with 100% conversion of furfural at liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) = 1 h−1; 160 °C and a hydrogen pressure of 5.0 MPa during 30 h. According to the X-ray diffraction (XRD) method, the active component of the spent and fresh Cu20Fe66Al14 catalyst is the same and is represented by metallic copper and Fe3O4-type spinel. Using different methods, the formation of active sites was investigated.
