Sulfated zirconia (SZ) and its modified versions attract great interest in recent years,
because of their promising potential in n‐alkane isomerization. The oxidative and …

Our recent works on synthesis of solid superacids are reviewed. For evaluation of the
surface acidity, temperature-programmed desorption of argon is proposed. For elucidation of …

Conversion of anisole, a typical component of bio-oil, was studied over an HZSM-5 zeolite at
varying space times (W/F), reaction temperatures, type of carrier gas, and concentration of …

Two series of Mn-or Fe-promoted zirconia samples were prepared:(i) a series of sulfate-free
reference compounds via co-precipitation of aqueous solutions containing zirconium and …

Ni–Zr–O nanoparticles with various Zr contents were prepared by a modified sol–gel method
and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning/high-resolution transmission electron …

In situ solid-state NMR spectroscopy was employed to study the kinetics of
hydrogen/deuterium exchange and scrambling as well as 13C scrambling reactions of …

A series of sulfated zirconia supported Pd/Co catalysts was synthesized by the sol–gel
method and examined for NOx reduction by methane. The NO conversion increased up to a …

The development of practically viable solid acid catalysts as environmentally safer
alternatives to liquid superacids continues to be a challenge. The major barrier in this regard …

n-Butane isomerization has been investigated over transition metal-promoted sulfated
zirconia catalysts. Fe alone was a more efficient promoter than Mn and Cr, and mixtures of …

The structures of iron-promoted sulfated zirconia (FSZ), manganese-promoted sulfated
zirconia (MSZ) and iron-and manganese-promoted sulfated zirconia (FMSZ) were …
