In this paper,the coupling reaction of methanol and butene on ZSM-5 molecular sieve was studied,and it was found that the coupling reaction showed different characteristics at different temperatures.The high temperature above 350 ℃was conducive to the formation of light olefins such as ethylene and propylene,while the low temperature was more conducive to the formation of long chain hydrocarbons.At 250 ℃ and lower temperatures,almost no hydrocarbon products were generated from methanol feed alone,showing a significant reaction induction period.Adding different concentrations of butene can greatly increase the methanol conversion and shorten the reaction induction period.However,with the increase of butylene concentration,the methanol conversion increased first and then decreased with the reaction time.The higher the butylene concentration,the faster the change rate.The organic species retained in the catalyst after reaction are mainly polymethylbenzenes,and the coke deposition is closely related to the amount of butene added,indicating that the formation of coke species is mainly related to the further transformation of the olefin/methanol coupling products,and the formation of these species greatly affects the product distribution of the coupling reaction,reflecting the complexity of the methanol conversion reaction mechanism.It also provides a possible way to further regulate the distribution of olefin products.

In the present work,Mo-In2O3 catalysts were prepared by doping molybdenum oxide (MoO3) into indium oxide (In2O3) by an impregnation method.Combining with HZSM-5,Mo-In2O3/HZSM-5 were used to catalytic synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from CO2 in one-step.The results showed that a unique solid solution structure was formed in the Mo-In2O3 catalyst,which brought higher catalytic activity.Under the reaction conditions of 260 ℃ and 5.0 MPa,the Mo-In2O3/HZSM-5 catalyst achieved 24.56% CO2 conversion and 56.09% DME selectivity,and the DME yield was enhanced by 3.2-fold compared with that of the In2O3/HZSM-5 catalyst.The doping of MoO3 significantly improves the surface structure of the catalytic system and increases the specific surface area and dispersion of In2O3,thus bringing more active sites to the surface of the catalyst.At the same time,MoO3 can inhibit the excessive reduction of In2O3,control the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the catalytic system,and significantly enhance the adsorption and activation ability of In2O3 to CO2.

Methane anaerobic aromatization (MDA) is considered as a promising industrial pathway for methane utilization,offering a single-step conversion of methane into high-value products like benzene and toluene.However,the formidable energy barrier posed by the methane C—H bond presents a challenge for catalysts to activate methane efficiently at low temperatures.Moreover,catalysts often suffer from deactivation due to carbon deposition during high-temperature MDA reactions,which hampers the widespread industrial adoption of MDA.To address these challenges,this study explored the preparation of catalysts by mixing Mo/HZSM-5 with a hydrogen storage alloy (CN-3) for MDA.This approach synergistically couples methane dehydrogenation with dehydrogenation process to facilitate methane activation and enhance benzene production even at low temperatures.The performance of the catalyst was optimized by varying the preparation methods of Mo/HZSM-5 and CN-3 (e.g., mechanical grinding,ball milling, or impregnation) along with adjusting Mo content.The results indicate that the mechanical mixing method proves superior in maintaining the original morphology and performance of CN-3 alloy and Mo/HZSM-5 samples,thereby resulting in optimal catalytic activity of prepared catalysts for MDA.With this method,the addition of CN-3 increased the methane conversion in the MDA reaction from 13.5 % to 22.9 %,and the benzene production rate increased from 28.7 μmol·(min·g)-1 to 52.3 μmol·(min·g)-1.

Efficient and acid stable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts are crucial for the large-scale application of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis technology coupled with renewable energy to produce green hydrogen.In this work,a series of iridium cobalt oxide catalysts with different iridium contents are prepared through a simple one-step molten salt thermal decomposition method followd by optimization.Electrochemical tests have shown that,compared with the rapid deactivation of cobalt oxide,the optimzied Ir0.13Co0.87Ox catalyst has an overpotential of only 270 mV at a current density of 50 mA·cm-2,and can stably work for more than 50 h at a high current density of 100 mA·cm-2.The study of structure-activity relationship shows that the uniform doping of iridium in the bulk lattice of cobalt oxide improves the stability of the catalyst and greatly reduces the impedance of charge transfer.At the same time,Ir replaces some of the tetrahedral coordinated Co2+ in Co3O4 with an average valence state slightly higher than +4,resulting in the catalyst surface prevails stable and high valence Ir4+ and Co3+ both in tetrahedral and octahedral form,hence greatly improving the activity and stability of the catalyst.This work reveals that the coordination structure and valence state of Ir in doped transition metal oxides play a crucial role in improving the OER activity and stability,hence provides a new solution for the development of efficient and stable low iridium based OER electrocatalysts working in acidic media.
