    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.

    Taking ExxonMobil for example,this paper examined the patent application trends and technical routes for the related patents of metallocene polyethylene as cataloged in the Derwent patent database.By February 29,2024,ExxonMobil has submitted 175 patent applications related to metallocene polyethylene,including 59 in China.The analysis revealed that ExxonMobil has a comprehensive patent layout,including metallocene catalyst designs,polymerization processes,applications and modifications of metallocene polyethylene.The patent layout of ExxonMobil in China was basically consistent with that in the world.However,ExxonMobil emphasized catalyst design in its global layout,and payed more attention to application technology in its patent layout in China.Combined with the analyzed results above,some suggestions were given for domestic relevant enterprises and research institutions to deploy technical forces.

    Biomass is a resource-rich,environmentally friendly,renewable and cheap resource.There are many researches on catalytic cracking of biomass to produce bio-oil,but the industrial application of bio-oil to light olefin is still in the early stage of research and development.Improving the yield of light olefin is one of the core problems to be solved in the research process of bio-oil to light olefin.The deep catalytic cracking process of palm oil to light olefins was studied.The results showed that the yield of ethylene,propylene and butene were 7.62%,19.80% and 12.14% under the reaction temperature of 620 ℃ and the ratio of catalyst to oil 7.5 with PTO catalyst.With the increase of reaction temperature and the ratio of catalyst to oil,the conversion rate increases,the yield of ethylene and propylene increases,the yield of coke decreases,and the RON of gasoline increases.

    Self-prepared θ and γ phase Al2O3 were used as supports to synthesize Pt-Ga/Al2O3 bimetallic catalysts via the incipient wetness impregnation method.The catalysts were characterized using XRD,N2 adsorption-desorption,and NH3-TPD techniques.The catalytic performance of these catalysts for the dehy-drogenation of methylcyclohexane was evaluated in a fixed-bed reactor.Results showed that the catalyst supported on θ-Al2O3 exhibited lower acidity,larger pore size,and more uniform dispersion of active metals.The addition of Ga as a promoter further improved the performance of the bimetallic catalyst,demonstrating excellent stability with a hydrogen evolution rate of 0.283 mol·(gPt·min)-1 after 60 hours of continuous operation.

    The effect of nano-aluminosilicate additives (halloysite,imogolite,and allophane) in hydroformylation of mixed butene in water-oil phase was studied.This reaction is catalyzed by an aqueous catalytic system,which is composed of acetylacetone rhodium dicarbonyl and triphenylphosphine trisulfonate sodium salt (TPPTS).The results show that nano-aluminosilicate additive can promote the formation of stable oil-water lotion.The catalyst can achieve effective interfacial catalytic effect in this stable oil-water lotion,which can significantly promote the conversion of mixed butene and normal/isomeric aldehyde ratio.After the reaction,the oil and water phases can be quickly separated in a short time after the aluminosilicate additives are removed by simple filtration,thus achieving efficient separation of the product from the catalyst.The study also found that adding inorganic salt additives such as ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate,ammonium chromate,and ammonium dichromate to the reaction can further enhance the catalytic activity.

    In this paper,the effect of Al2O3 carriers calcinated at different temperatures on Cr2O3/Al2O3 catalysts was investigated.The carriers and catalysts were analyzed and characterized by XRD,nitrogen adsorption and NH3-TPD.The results show that the pore structure and surface acidity of the carriers were different when the calcination temperature of the carriers were different,which led to the different conversion,selectivity and stability of the catalysts.When the calcination temperature of the carrier was lower,the specific surface of the carrier was larger,the number of surface hydroxyl groups was higher,and the catalyst had higher conversion,lower selectivity and better stability for the isobutane reaction.When the calcination temperature of the carrier was higher,the specific surface of the carrier was smaller,and the number of surface hydroxyl groups was lower,and the catalyst had lower conversion,higher selectivity and worse stability for the isobutane reaction.
