Novel bifunctional metal-loaded polymer–silica composite (PSC) catalysts were investigated in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of 4-(2-furyl)-3-buten-2-one (FAc) as a model substance for furfural–acetone aldol condensation products. PSC catalysts were synthesized via a sol–gel method with different polymer contents and subsequently doped with different noble metals. The product composition of the HDO of FAc could be tuned by using catalysts with different polymer (i.e., acidic properties) and metal content (i.e., redox properties), showing the great potential of metal-loaded PSC materials as tunable catalysts in biomass conversions with complex reaction networks. Furthermore, high yields (>90%) of the fully hydrodeoxygenated product (n-octane) could be obtained using noble metal-loaded PSC catalysts in only 8 h of reaction time.

However, limited gelation methods and insufficient understanding of the underlying mechanism retards structure/composition manipulation of NMFs, hampering ondemand designing for practical applications. Herein highly tunable NMFs are fabricated at room temperature by activating specific-ion effects and regulating ion-nanoparticle interactions, affording various single/alloy NMFs with adjustable compositions (Au, Ag, Pd, Pt), ligament sizes (3.1~142.0 nm), and special morphologies. Their superior performance in programmable self-propulsion devices and electrocatalytic alcohol oxidation are demonstrated. This study provides not only a conceptually new route to fabricate and manipulate functional NMFs, but also an overall picture in understanding the gelation mechanism. It may pave the way for on-target designing versatile NMFs for various applications.</div>

The heterogeneous catalytic synthesis of pyridine and methylpyridines (picolines) was carried out by the reaction of ethanol with formaldehyde and ammonia over aluminosilicates with different acidic properties and textural characteristics: zeolite framework-type FAU in H-form with microporous (H-Y) and micro-meso-macroporous structure (H-Y-mmm) and mesoporous aluminosilicates, obtained by sol-gel synthesis in an alkaline medium (ASM-1) and under variable pH (ASM-2). It is shown that the highest catalytic activity is characteristic of ASM-2 (Si/Al = 40) with a narrow pore size distribution within the range 2 to 5 nm and containing strongly acidic bridging Si–OH–Al groups on the surface. The products of the reaction of ethanol with formaldehyde and ammonia on the catalysts studied are dominated by picolines; the maximum amount of picolines (60%) is formed on the H-Y-mmm and aluminosilicate ASM-2 samples.

Noble metal foams (NMFs) are a new class of functional materials featuring properties of both noble metals and monolithic porous materials, providing impressive prospects in diverse fields. Among reported synthetic methods, the sol-gel approach manifests overwhelming advantages for versatile synthesis of nanostructured NMFs (i.e., noble metal aerogels) under mild conditions. However, limited gelation methods and elusive formation mechanisms retard structure/composition manipulation, hampering on-demand design for practical applications. Here, highly tunable NMFs are fabricated by activating specific ion effects, enabling various single/alloy aerogels with adjustable composition (Au, Ag, Pd, and Pt), ligament sizes (3.1 to 142.0 nm), and special morphologies. Their superior performance in programmable self-propulsion devices and electrocatalytic alcohol oxidation is also demonstrated. This study provides a conceptually new approach to fabricate and manipulate NMFs and an overall framework for understanding the gelation mechanism, paving the way for on-target design of NMFs and investigating structure-performance relationships for versatile applications.
