ABSTRACT Silicon carbide (SiC) or carborundum has unparalleled thermal stability and conductivity compared with many other materials. This feature together with its unique photoelectrical properties (tunable band gap: 2.39–3.33 eV), low thermal expansion, high strength, and good chemical and thermal stability makes it an ideal inert solid in catalysis. The evolution of methods for synthesizing SiC has also progressively endowed it with additional features at the multiscale. This review tracks the development of SiC from a secondary to a leading role material in catalysis. First, the intrinsic properties of SiC are discussed and compared with other state-of-the-art catalytic materials. The synthetic methods are systematically reviewed and compared. Then, the applications of SiC in catalysis are assessed, paying particular attention to those that involve C1 chemistry (Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis and the valorization of CO2 and CH4), photocatalysis and biomass conversion. Finally, the potential future applications of SiC are also addressed and discussed. Graphical Abstract

ABSTRACT In recent years, Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations have been utilized to gain insight into the Dry Reforming of Methane (DRM) process. It enables new and improved management of current reactions, acquiring extra information about specific elements of the catalytic process, and developing practical methods for rational in silico catalyst design. This study covers the significance of DFT and current research on Ni-based catalysts in the DRM process, including the reaction mechanism, coke production, metal sintering, and metal support interactions. The DFT tool may explain the catalytic characteristics of Ni-based catalysts and their relationship with their catalytic performances, which are necessary tools for a rational design of appropriate catalytic systems for DRM applications.

ABSTRACT Kinetic modeling is receiving more attention in recent years due to the availability of advanced computational tools and enhancement in the accuracy of analytical techniques. These advances facilitate investigation of the chemical transformations on a molecular level rather than on the bulk properties, such as density, distillation cuts, or octane number. Molecular kinetic modeling of catalytic naphtha reforming is of particular interest as it processes light petroleum fraction that enable full molecular-level analysis. Moreover, the process is an important source of valuable chemicals, hydrogen, and high-octane transportation fuel. Over the years, the goal of the kinetic modeling has evolved from predicting the octane number or other properties of reformate to tracking a particular molecule, such as benzene. Several kinetic models are published in the last decade – each of them strived to adopt somewhat different approach either in the complexity of proposed reaction network or in the methodology of estimating the kinetic parameters. The approaches that have been considered in formulating the rate expressions include: (i) classical power-law model; (ii) models based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson kinetics; (iii) structure-oriented kinetics approach; and (iv) single-event fundamental model. The review presents a systematic comparison of these kinetic models in depth as well as their limitations. An appraisal of the mathematical methods for estimation of kinetic parameters and the computational tools employed for determination of the numerical values of these parameters is made. Finally, the current trends and outlook of this field is presented.

ABSTRACT On purpose, selective oligomerization of ethylene to its linear trimer and tetramer such as 1-hexene and 1-octene has assumed significant commercial interest. Catalytic systems based on chromium and titanium have shown remarkable selectivity and productivity for the tri and tetramerization of ethylene to 1-hexene or 1-octene. Chromium-based catalysts are the most selective and active and show the highest structural diversity. This article discusses the most recent mechanistic approaches regarding active catalytic species that determine the selectivity to either hexene-1 or octene-1 and reaction parameters that control selectivity of byproducts. Isotopic labeling protocols, in-situ spectroscopic investigations and DFT studies on selected chromium-based catalyst systems are reviewed.

ABSTRACT Oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs) are unanimously a key factor of system performances in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs), low-temperature fuel cells, and generally in several electrochemical platforms. Platinum (Pt)-based catalyst is the finest electrocatalyst for ORR in BESs; however, it is constrained by its low abundance, high price, and poor catalytic durability in an electrochemical setup for cathodic reaction kinetics. In recent years, significant efforts in trimming the metal-based catalyst up to nanoscale to cater high performance of ORR have been explored. Still, there are many opportunities to improve catalyst performance at cathode through proper selection of an efficient low-cost metal-based ORR catalyst. Molybdenum (Mo) with its multi-dimensional form as 2D and 3D layers and synergistic combination with other non-metals offers prospects of extraordinary performance as low-cost metal-based ORR catalyst over the Pt in delivering enhanced ORR potential. The present review throws light on current requirements of a sturdier catalyst material and thus provides a comprehensive review on the continuing efforts in exploring the possibility of Mo as a low-cost metal-based ORR catalyst. This literature analysis would enlighten the significance of ORR in BESs, followed by the electrochemistry of Mo-based cathodic catalyst, its underlying mechanism and performance limiting factors in the operation of ORR. Moreover, the extensive and systematic acumen in the context of Mo-based catalytic formulations for increased ORR potentials including nano-composite Mo-cathode catalyst; development of Mo-catalyst with varied configurations; carbon-supported Mo-catalyst; morphological changes; surface area modifications; and Mo-coupling with other transition metal and its derivatives were discussed in great detail to provide prospective application of Mo-based catalyst. Lastly, numerous opportunities and projections for future research in fabrication, juxtaposition, and implementation of Mo-based cathodic catalysts and consequent recommendations were discussed as conclusive remarks for bringing out the state-of-the-art review on this subject.

ABSTRACT Ni-based catalysts are highly efficient in methane-reforming processes. In the particular case of methane reforming in the presence of carbon dioxide, or dry reforming of methane (DRM), it is necessary to modify and control the initial properties of the catalyst to confer on it resistance to carbon deposition in particular, and to sintering of the Ni metal particles. In this regard, catalytic supports and promoters of different natures have been proposed. Likewise, the addition of small amounts of noble metals to avoid oxidation of the Ni active phase during the reforming reaction has been proposed. Catalyst preparation methods have also been identified as being of particular interest, since they can affect the structure of the Ni metal particles. In this review, the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the dry reforming of methane reaction are presented first. The most recent developments in synthetic methods (impregnation, sol-gel, co-precipitation, equilibrium deposition filtration, atomic layer deposition, non-thermal glow discharge plasma, multi-bubble sonoluminescence, “core-shell” structure) aimed at maximizing the dispersion and thermal resistance of Ni particles are then discussed and compared. The catalytic supports used to promote dispersion of the active metallic phase, the oxygen-storage capacity, and the metal/support interaction are also described. The review then addresses the fact that both the nature of the support and the addition of promoters and other metallic phases that modify the surface properties can control the interaction between the metal and the support, the electronic density of the active phase, and the degree of Ni reduction. Finally, new lines of research focused on the DRM process to make the reaction conditions milder and favor the process at low temperatures are also summarized.

ABSTRACT Montmorillonite, a ubiquitous clay mineral, has been engineered into a variety of porous and nanostructured catalysts, owing to its peculiar layered structure with characteristic surface and intercalation chemistry. Such a class of catalysts have continuously received considerable attention in both science and industry. This review examines recent advance in engineering montmorillonite into metal ion-exchanged montmorillonite catalysts, acid-activated montmorillonite catalysts, organo-montmorillonite catalysts, pillared interlayered montmorillonite catalysts and montmorillonite-supported catalysts. The former two types of montmorillonite-based catalysts have been used in the catalytic cracking, dehydration, hydrolysis, esterification, polymerization, alkylation, and Fischer-Tropic synthesis. The introduction of oxide pillars in the interlayer space of montmorillonite and the immobilization of metal oxides or zero-valent metals on the surface of montmorillonite allow montmorillonite to be used in the catalytic oxidation, reduction, isomerization and coupling reactions. Currently, the role of montmorillonite in acid catalysis, redox catalysis, and free radical catalysis have been partly revealed. The effect of the structures and the active sites of modified montmorillonite on its catalytic performance need to be investigated in more detail. Future work is suggested to focus on solving engineering problems and exploring novel catalytic applications of montmorillonite, in particular exfoliated montmorillonite nanolayers.
