    Ethylene oxide (EO) is a pivotal derivative in the ethylene industry,which is next to polyethylene in importance.Silver (Ag)-based catalysts exhibit exceptional performance in the epoxidation of ethylene to EO.The RS-891 catalyst,synthesized via the impregnation method,was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),mercury intrusion porosimetry,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),and oxygen temperature-programmed desorption (O2-TPD) to elucidate its structural and chemical properties.The catalytic performance of RS-891 in the epoxidation of ethylene to produce EO was systematically evaluated.The results demonstrate that the α-Al2O3 support utilized in the RS-891 catalyst possesses a lamellar structure with an interlocking configuration,which enhances the mechanical strength of the support and promotes the uniform dispersion of silver nanoparticles.This structural feature effectively mitigates nanoparticle aggregation,thereby extending the operational lifespan of the catalyst.Laboratory evaluations conducted over 1 500 h,corroborated by industrial operational data,indicate that the RS-891 catalyst achieves an EO selectivity exceeding 88% after 100 h of operation,with a consistent upward trend in selectivity thereafter.Once selectivity surpasses 88%,the catalyst maintains stable and reliable performance,ensuring high catalytic efficiency.The close alignment between industrial application data and laboratory results underscores the exceptional stability of the RS-891 catalyst,highlighting its significant potential for industrial applications and substantial economic value.

    Layered bimetallic hydroxide (LDH) has become an excellent candidate material for water electrolysis catalyst due to its unique layered structure.Nickel-cobalt layered bimetallic hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) was in-situ constructed on 3D printed nickel mesh (3D-NM) by electrodeposition method,and the regulation of the bimetallic nickel-cobalt ratio on the morphology and electrocatalytic oxygen evolution performance of the bimetallic layered hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) was investigated.When the ratio of Ni∶Co is 1∶1,NiCo-LDH nanosheets exhibit the best oxygen evolution activity,the required overpotential at 10 mA·cm-2 current density is only 230 mV,the Tafel slope is 103.3 mV·dec-1,and the nanosheets have a large electrochemically active surface area.The catalyst also showed excellent catalytic stability during a 30 h test.This excellent oxygen evolution activity can be attributed to the abundant electrochemical active sites provided by NiCo-LDH nanosheets and the good charge transport capacity,which together promote the effective charge/electron transfer,thus significantly improving the efficiency of water electrolysis.This study provides a new way for high throughput preparation and optimization of layered bimetallic hydroxide electrocatalysts.

    Suzuki cross-coupling reaction is a powerful route to construct C—C bond in fine-chemical synthesis.Developing a high efficient method to promote the performance of palladium-based catalyst in Suzuki coupling reaction is of great significance.In this article,a series of catalysts modified by 2,6-diaminopyridine(DAP),Pd(OH)2/FCN-D-X,are prepared successfully by pre adsorbing DAP molecule onto the surface of the flower-like carbon nanosheets(FCN) through physical adsorption and then loading the Pd active component.It was found that the activities and stabilities of Pd(OH)2/FCN-D-X in Suzuki coupling reaction are higher than that of the unmodified one,Pd(OH)2/FCN.The characterization results of X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the existence of DAP within the catalyst enhanced the dispersion of Pd species and improved the distribution of valence states of Pd leading to high performance of Pd(OH)2/FCN-D-X catalysts.

    As a kind of non-CO2 greenhouse gases,hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have a global warming potential (GWP) ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of times higher than that of CO2.Consequently,it is urgent to develop effective emission reduction measures to mitigate HFCs emissions.However,direct elimination methods fail to fully recover and utilize the valuable fluorine (F) resources contained in HFCs.As fourth-generation refrigerants,hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are characterized by shorter atmospheric lifetime and significantly lower GWP,making them superior alternatives to HFCs.Simultaneously,HFOs serve as critical feedstocks for high-value fluorochemical products,including fluorinated electronic chemicals and fluoropolymers.The gas-solid phase catalytic dehydrofluorination (DHF) process,which converts HFCs into environmentally friendly HFOs,represents the most promising approach.The success of this technology hinges on catalyst development.Current research focuses on four catalyst categories: non-metal catalysts (e.g.,activated carbon-based materials) offer low-cost advantages but suffer from poor regeneration efficiency and stability.Cr-based catalysts demonstrate exceptional dehydrofluorination activity but face environmental concerns due to excessive acidity and potential Cr leaching.Mg-based catalysts show high selectivity,though their complex synthesis processes hinder scalability.Al-based catalysts stand out for their tunable acidity,environmental benignity,and balanced performance,making them the current research priority.Future advancements should prioritize catalyst design with optimized acidity,hierarchical porosity,and enhanced resistance to coking,aiming to achieve high activity,longevity,and industrial applicability to effectively promote the control of HFCs emissions and their resource utilization.
