    Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),as a novel type of hybrid porous materials,exhibit diverse structures,tunable porosity,high specific surface area,unsaturated active sites,and ease of chemical modification,making them widely applicable in fields such as storage and catalysis.In this study,Cu-BTC was synthesized via a hydrothermal method and further modified using vapor-phase substitution to prepare Cu-Zn-BTC adsorbents.The synthesized materials were characterized using XRD,SEM-EDS,BET,and FT-IR techniques.Static adsorption desulfurization experiments were conducted using a model oil (dibenzothiophene in n-octane) to evaluate the desulfurization performance of Cu-BTC and Cu-Zn-BTC.Results demonstrated that under optimal conditions(120 min, 30 ℃),Cu-BTC achieved a maximum adsorption capacity of 38.64 mgS·g-1 and a desulfurization efficiency of 85.87%.In contrast,Cu-Zn-BTC exhibited superior performance under optimized conditions (70 min,30 ℃),with an adsorption capacity of 57.54 mgS·g-1 and a desulfurization efficiency of 95.90%.These findings highlight the promising prospects of MOF-based materials in adsorptive desulfurization of fuels.

    MoS2/ZnO composite photocatalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method.The composition and morphology of as-prepared photocatalyst were tested by infrared spectroscopy,X-ray powder diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and UV diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.The results show that the lamellar MoS2 is attached to the rod-like ZnO surface,and the light absorption capacity of the composite is enhanced to a certain extent in the visible region.For light irradiation of 120 min and the mass fraction amount of MoS2 was 1.5%,the degradation efficiency of MoS2/ZnO(MZ-3) for 15 mg·L-1 tetracycline was up to 90.01%,which was higher than that of pure ZnO.Five cycle stability test experiments showed the stable photodegradation performance of the composite catalyst.

    The Hβ zeolites were modified through alkali treatment using NaOH solutions of various conc-entrations and characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),nitrogen adsorption-desorption,inductively coupled plasma(ICP) spectroscopy,and ammonia temperature-programmed desorption(NH3-TPD).These materials were subsequently employed to investigate the hydrocracking behavior of tetralin,a representative compound derived from ethylene tar hydrorefining.Compared with untreated Hβ powder,the alkali-treated zeolites exhibited superior hydrocracking performance.This improvement can be attributed to a significant increase in mesoporous volume following alkali treatment,which enhances the diffusion and adsorption of macromolecules within the zeolite framework.Additionally,alkali treatment effectively reduces the acidity of the zeolite,thereby inhibiting side reactions such as alkylation and hydrogen transfer,and promoting the formation of alkylbenzene compounds.Notably,Hβ zeolite treated with 0.5 mol·L-1 NaOH solution demonstrated exceptional catalytic activity.After 200 h of reaction,the conversion of tetralin exceeded 97.0%,with an alkylbenzene selectivity of 84.8%,indicating robust hydrocracking performance.

    The catalytic hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene to synthesize p-chloroaniline is an important organic chemical reaction,and the key to this catalytic reaction is to realize nitro hydrogenation and reduction without dechlorination.N-doped modified Pt0.3/NxC catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method,which showed that the metal-carrier interactions induced by N-doped activated carbon carriers improved the activity,selectivity and stability of the catalysts,while inhibiting the C—Cl bond breakage.Among them,the average particle size of Pt nanoparticles on the surface of the Pt0.3/N0.2C catalyst prepared by using a mass ratio of urea to activated carbon of 0.2 was the smallest and uniformly dispersed.The catalyst exhibited excellent conversion (100%),selectivity (99.0%) and reusability for the catalytic synthesis of p-chloroaniline from p-chloronitrobenzene hydrogenation at 50 ℃,0.5 MPa,and a reaction time of 90 min.

    Hydrogen energy,as a clean and renewable secondary energy source,is an important way to achieve “carbon peak and carbon neutrality”.Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis for hydrogen production is one of the promising technologies to realize “zero carbon” emissions because of its high efficiency,compact and pollution-free characteristics.However,the high cost of PEM electrolysis water hydrogen production system has severely limited its large-scale commercial application.In this paper,the routes of water electrolysis for hydrogen production and the basic principle of PEM water electrolysis technology are reviewed,and then the development barriers of the PEM water electrolysis technology are emphasized,including the barriers of critical materials—precious metal iridium catalyst and proton exchange membrane,the core devices—bipolar plate and porous transport layer.The reduction direction and development potential of PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production technology are discussed,and its application prospect is also prospected.

    Cu-SAPO-34 molecular sieve catalyst was synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method.The Cu-SAPO-34 molecular sieve catalyst was modified by loading cerium element using low-cost morpholine as the template,and new complex Cu-TEPA as the copper source and co-template.Effects of calcination temperature,heating rate and Ce/Al ratio on catalytic performance of Cu-SAPO-34 molecular sieve in NOx removal from diesel engine exhaust were studied,and the catalyst was characterized by XRD and N2 adsorption-desorption.The results show that the loading of cerium element can effectively improve the catalytic performance of Cu-SAPO-34 molecular sieve catalyst.When the calcination temperature is 700 ℃,the heating rate is 5 ℃·min-1,and the Ce/Al molar ratio is 0.06,the Cu/Ce-SAPO-34 catalyst has the highest NOx removal efficiency of 89.6%.The structure,crystallinity,specific surface area and pore volume of the catalyst at this time are also relatively best.

    In order to improve the phenomenon of micro-pores caused by water evaporation in the film forming process of epoxy acrylate emulsion,four different oxidized polyethylene waxes XW-17,XE-16,PED522 and 629A were used to modify the epoxy emulsion.Due to the high melting point of oxidized polyethylene wax,it was used as a functional monomer to modify epoxy acrylate,and its optimal amount was studied.Finally,epoxy emulsion was prepared by soap-free core-shell emulsion polymerization.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed that oxidized polyethylene wax was successfully introduced into epoxy acrylate.The optimum addition amount of oxidized polyethylene wax was determined by cross-linking degree and water absorption.The microstructure of emulsion before and after modification was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Thermal weight (TGA),static water contact angle and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to test the emulsion dry film before and after modification.The results showed that the addition of oxidized polyethylene wax could improve the thermal properties and roughness of the emulsion dry film,but did not change the hydrophilicity of the emulsion dry film.The optimum addition amount of oxidized polyethylene wax to modified epoxy acrylate was mass fraction of 0.3%,and the modified emulsion with 629A had the best performance.

    This study aims to prepare Ag/Cu-modified hydroxyapatite (HAP) catalysts for the purification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).Cu-doped HAP composite carriers were synthesized using the solgel method and the modulation of Ag species and active oxygen by Cu modification was discussed systematically.Catalytic oxidation experiments of toluene demonstrated that the Cu doping level significantly influenced the activity of the Ag/Cu-modified HAP catalyst.Specifically,the Ag/5%Cu-modified HAP catalyst exhibited superior performance,achieving complete toluene oxidation at 255 ℃,which represents a 70 ℃ decline in complete toluene conversion temperature compared to the undoped Ag/HAP catalyst.Characterization results revealed that 5%Cu doping facilitates the formation of an optimal synergistic effect at the Ag-Cu interface.This enhanced synergy between Ag and Cu boosts the generation and migration of reactive oxygen species,thereby significantly improving the low-temperature redox performance of the catalyst and enhancing its catalytic oxidation efficiency for toluene.These findings provide critical theoretical insights and experimental validation for the rational design of high-performance Ag/Cu-based catalytic systems.
