    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.

    Sodium m-aminobenzene sulfonate is an important intermediate in chemical industry.There are many methods for its preparation,and catalytic hydrogenation is the main method used at present.But its industrialization report is few.It is because of the deactivation of the catalyst in hydrogenation process,and it’s difficult for catalyst recycle leading to high industrialization cost.In this article,we use self-made Pd/C catalyst in hydrogenation reaction.The deactivation reasons of catalyst were explored by LC-QTOF-MS,XRD,XPS,and BET.The deactivation of Pd/C catalyst is because the sodium m-aminobenzene sulfonate was converted to azoic compound and azoxy compound,which could block the pore of carbon support due to strong adsorptivity.The reduce of catalyst specific surface area due to the above reason can result in temporary toxic deactivation of catalyst.The deactivation is not permanent caused by formation of palladium sulfide.

    Methylphenol is an important fine chemical intermediate,widely used in new materials,medicine,pesticides,spices,additives and other fields.The alkylation reaction of phenol and methanol has the advantages of high efficiency,environmental friendliness and high product purity,which is the most economical production process of methyl phenol.The reaction is divided into liquid phase and gas phase.The liquid phase reaction is mainly carried out in the kettle reactor,while the gas phase reaction is mainly carried out in the fixed bed reactor.The catalyst can be divided into oxide and molecular sieve systems.The multi-component composite oxide catalyst has ideal reaction performance and high ortho-selectivity,but the reaction temperature is high.Molecular sieve catalyst has certain advantages in shape selection,but it is easy to accumulate carbon and deactivate.The acid-alkalinity of the catalyst is an important index,and their synergistic effect directly affects the selectivity of C-alkylation,otherwise it will increase the selectivity of side reactions such as O-alkylation products.In order to meet the demand for high-performance products in the fields of new materials and electronic chemicals,it is still necessary to further develop high-performance phenol methylation catalysts to improve the competitiveness of related industries.
