Preparation of highly active hydrodesulfurization catalysts is extremely meaningful for the sulfur removal from thiophene substances. In this work, commercial nano-Al2O3 with mesoporous structure supported monometallic phosphide (NiP/Al2O3 and MoP/Al2O3) and bimetallic phosphide (NiMoP/Al2O3 with various Ni/Mo molar ratio) catalysts are successfully prepared by temperature-programmed reduction. X-ray diffraction (XRD) result shows the Ni/Mo molar ratio affect the crystal phase in catalysts. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterizations co-confirm the interact between Ni and Mo elements in bimetallic phosphide. Catalyst evaluation in hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene shows that bimetallic phosphide samples exhibit better catalytic performance than monometallic phosphide. 62.1% conversion and 86.3% biphenyl selectivity with 30 h stability are achieved over NiMoP/Al2O3 (Ni/Mo=1:1) catalyst at 400 °C under 3 MPa H2. All characterization results demonstrate that the improved activity of bimetallic phosphide owes to the Ni-Mo synergistic effect in NiMoP/Al2O3 (Ni/Mo=1:1) catalyst. This finding provides a guide to the design of bimetallic catalyst with synergistic effect.

The adsorption of CO on different lattice oxygen sites in Cu doped CeO2(111) was studied by DFT method, and the geometrical structure and electronic properties of adsorption systems were analyzed. The results showed that CO interacted with lattice oxygen on the first layer formed CO2. However, when adsorbed on the second layer lattice oxygen, carbonate species were formed with the participation of first layer lattice oxygens, i.e., CO co-adsorbed on first and second layer lattice oxygens. For the second layer adsorption, the absolute CO adsorption energy was big on the Oss nearby Cu. This kind of carbonates was thermodynamically stable, and it was attributed to the facilitation of Cu on CO adsorption, manifested by an electron migration behavior from the C 2p orbitals to the Cu 3d orbitals. However, the absolute CO adsorption energy on the Oss away from Cu was small. Compared to the formation of carbonates, the formation CO2 had very small absolute adsorption energy, suggesting the formed carbonates on second layer was stable. Further, when CO adsorbed on the systems with a carbonate, the absolute CO adsorption energy was significantly smaller than that of the non-carbonated system, indicating that the formation of carbonates inhibited CO oxidation on Cu/CeO2(111). Therefore, the formation of carbonates was unfavorable for CO oxidation reaction on Cu/CeO2(111). The results of this study provide theoretical support for the negative effect of CO2 on ceria-based catalysts.

Transformation of urea and glycerol to glycerol carbonate is an environmental friendly and economical process. Catalysts play an indispensable role in the process. Although many catalysts have been developed, the performance of the catalysts still cannot meet the needs of industrialization. In this paper, research progress of the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts of the reaction over the past 20 years were reviewed systematically. According to the types and active centers of catalysts, the catalysts were classified systematically and analyzed in detail. The typical reaction mechanisms were also summarized. The research and development direction of catalysts is made more explicit through systematic classification and mechanism analysis. The article reveals more novel catalysts have been designed and used for the reaction, such as mixed metal oxides with special structures, solid wastes and non-metallic materials. This work summarized the current state of research and prospected possible routes for design of novel catalysts. It is hoped that this review can provide some references for developing efficient catalysts.

To improve the quality of coal-to-direct liquefied diesel, with the help of machine learning method, the properties prediction model of coal-to-direct liquefied diesel was established, in which the chemical structure and diesel properties of each component of a coal-to-direct liquefied diesel were studied. The oil sample used was the finished diesel from a coal-to-direct liquefaction facility at Erdos in 2023 with an annual oil production of one million tons. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were conducted on the hydrocarbon composition of the oil sample and the properties of the diesel. It was found that the hydrocarbon composition was predominantly composed of paraffin and cycloparaffin, accounting for 96.57% of the total hydrocarbon composition, with the monocycloparaffin being the most abundant. The analysis of the diesel quality test results showed that the diesel met the commercial diesel quality specifications, with good combustion performance, low-temperature fluidity, and environmental performance. From Pearson correlation coefficient, it was found that some variables had a high degree of correlation. To avoid the impact of multicollinearity on the model interpretation, a tree model algorithm was chosen to establish the model. Random forest (RF) algorithm, light gradient boosting machine algorithm and extreme gradient boosting algorithm were individually used to establish the prediction model that can evaluate the physical characteristic properties of coal-to-direct liquefied diesel, such as density, kinematic viscosity and cetane number, respectively, and the fitting of each algorithm to the diesel combustion performance was compared and analyzed. The results show that the RF model has good fitting performance and high accuracy. On the training set, the determination coefficients (R2) of density, kinematic viscosity and cetane number were 0.946, 0.916 and 0.814, respectively, and the mean absolute percentage error were 0.073, 0.646 and 0.4, respectively. On the test set, the determination coefficients (R2) for density, kinematic viscosity, and cetane number were 0.976, 0.865, and 0.765, respectively, while the corresponding mean absolute percentage error were 0.48, 2.86, and 0.957, respectively. The analysis showed that the contents of paraffin, tricyclic alkane and alkyl benzene had significant effects on the density, kinematic viscosity and cetane number of coal-to-direct liquefied diesel, while the contents of naphthalene and tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbons had little effect on the above properties. Increasing paraffin content will reduce the density and kinematic viscosity of coal-direct liquefied diesel, but will help increase the cetane number of diesels. The increase in the tricyclic alkane content and the alkyl benzene content will increase the density and kinematic viscosity of coal-direct liquefied diesel, but will reduce the cetane number of diesels.

In recent years, hydrogen production by water electrolysis has become an important strategy of energy transformation in China, where the design of efficient catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a key issue. In this regard, transition metal phosphides (TMPs) are considered important non-precious metal catalysts in water electrolysis owing to their low price and high hydrogen production efficiency. However, experimental screening of highly active TMPs catalysts is time-consuming and challenging. This study provides a simple and effective method for rapidly screening highly efficient HER electrocatalysts based on machine learning and big-data analysis. Four machine learning algorithms, namely support vector regression (SVR), K-nearest neighbour (KNN), random forest regression (RF) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), were developed to predict the catalytic performance of various transition metal phosphides reported in the literature in HER. After evaluating the four algorithms by RMSE and R2, it was found that the RF algorithm has excellent prediction ability for overpotential, while the XGBoost algorithm predicts better for the Tafel slope. It is concluded that the contents of Ni, Co and Fe have a significant influence on the catalytic performance and highly active catalysts may be prepared by fine adjustment of their contents in the future.

To avoid the adverse effects of sulfur in coal tar pitch (CTP) on properties of the prepared carbon materials and environment, organic acids with different acidity and choline chloride (ChCl) were selected to prepare deep eutectic solvents (DES) by low-temperature heating, and H2O2 as the oxidant to compose a catalytic oxidation-extraction desulfurization system of CTP. The effects of DES composition, oxidation temperature, oxidation time, and H2O2 dosage on desulfurization of CTP were investigated. The results show that trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/ChCl DES has a certain effect in catalyzing the oxidative desulfurization of CTP, and the optimal desulfurization rate of CTP reaches 38.7%. The products obtained under various reaction conditions were analyzed by means of elemental analysis, FT-IR, XRD and XPS. The results show that the oxidative desulfurization of CTP catalyzed by acidic DES not only greatly improves hydrophilicity of CTP to solvent by introducing a certain amount of oxygen-containing functional groups, but also changes surface micromorphology of CTP, resulting in cracks and small particles. All these promote oxidation of thiophene sulfur in CTP to sulfone, which is further oxidized to soluble sulfate, thereby achieving sulfur removal. At the same time, oxygen content of CTP after DES catalytic oxidation treatment is relatively low, which has little effect on crystal alignment of carbonized pitch char. This work provides a technical basis for expanding high-value utilization of high-sulfur CTP.

Using CO for the selective catalytic reduction (CO-SCR) of NOx can significantly reduce the De-NOx cost of boiler flue gas treatment. In this work, the catalytic performance of honeycomb ceramic alumina supported Fe-Cr composite (Fe-Cr/HCA) in the flue gas DeNOx by CO-SCR was investigated at high temperature and the catalyst preparation parameters like the bimetallic ratio, aging temperature and metal loading amount were optimized. The results indicate that a solid solution of FeCr2O4 is formed on the Fe-Cr/HCA catalyst surface and the synergy between Fe2O3 and Cr2O3 greatly promote the De-NOx efficiency by CO-SCR. In particular, the Fe-Cr/HCA catalyst, prepared with a Fe/Cr ratio of 1, aging temperature of 300 °C and impregnation for 15 times, exhibits excellent performance in the CO-SCR of NO, where the NO conversion approaches 100% at 400–800 °C under the tested conditions. Additionally, the catalyst impregnated six times can be utilized in practical applications.

A series of Pt-Ni@C catalysts with different Pt/Ni@C mass ratios were prepared using deposition precipitation method. The effect of the loading amounts of Pt on the synthesis of ethanol by cellulose hydrogenation reduction was studied. The structure-performance relationship of the catalyst was clarified. The results showed that the Pt/Ni@C catalyst achieved the complete conversion of high concentration of cellulose under H2 environment at 200 ℃, 5.5 MPa. When the concentration of cellulose reached 50 g/L, the ethanol concentration in the solution was 13.3 g/L with yield of 31%. The valence state of the Pt species, the ordering degree of carbon and the microstructure of the catalyst were characterized by means of XRD, XPS, Raman and TEM. The Ni atoms wrapped by the carbon layer of the catalyst showed an electron-rich state through electron migration with the surface carbon layer. The electron-negative surface of Pt-Ni@C effectively break the C–O and C–C bonds of the intermediates. Compared with traditional carbon-based catalysts, the amount of surface active sites increased by loading small amount of Pt. The Pt promoted the activation of hydrogen, and the synergistic of electron-rich surface and the trace phosphoric acid led to excellent activity of the Pt-Ni@C.

The results showed that the Pt/Ni@C catalyst achieved the complete conversion of high concentration of cellulose under H<sub>2</sub> environment at 200 ℃, 5.5 MPa. When the concentration of cellulose reached 50 g/L, the ethanol concentration in the solution was 13.3 g/L with yield of 31%. The valence state of the Pt species, the ordering degree of carbon and the microstructure of the catalyst were characterized by means of XRD, XPS, Raman and TEM. The Ni atoms wrapped by the carbon layer of the catalyst showed an electron-rich state through electron migration with the surface carbon layer. The electron-negative surface of Pt-Ni@C effectively break the C–O and C–C bonds of the intermediates. Compared with traditional carbon-based catalysts, the amount of surface active sites increased by loading small amount of Pt. The Pt promoted the activation of hydrogen, and the synergistic of electron-rich surface and the trace phosphoric acid led to excellent activity of the Pt-Ni@C.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15956,"journal":{"name":"燃料化学学报","volume":"53 6","pages":"Pages 863-871"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144330910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Currently, the solid adsorbents with porous structure have been widely applied in CO2 capture. However, the unmodified MgO-ZrO2 adsorbents appeared to be low adsorption capacity of CO2. The solid adsorbent materials were successfully synthesized by loading TEPA onto the pore MgO/ZrO2 carriers in the paper. The pore structure and surface characteristic of the samples were analyzed by using XRD, BET, FT-IR and SEM. The adsorbent materials exhibited microcrystalline state, and the crystallinity of all samples gradually decreased as the increase of TEPA content. The pore structure analysis indicated that the modification of MgO-ZrO2 adsorbents with TEPA led to the decrease of the specific surface areas, but the narrow micro-mesopore size distributions ranging from 1.8−12 nm in the adsorbents still were maintained. FT-IR spectrum results further verified the successful loading of TEPA. The adsorption capacity of the adsorbents for CO2 were tested by using an adsorption apparatus equipped with gas chromatography. The results indicated that when the TEPA loading reached 50%, the sample exhibited the maximum adsorption value for CO2, reaching 4.07 mmol/g under the operation condition of 75 °C and atmospheric pressure. This result could be assigned to not only the base active sites but also the coexistence of both micropore and mesopore in the adsorbent. After three cycles tests for CO2 capture, the adsorption value of the sample for CO2 can also reached 95% of its original adsorption capacity, which verified the excellent cyclic operation stability.
