Catalyst stability is one of the greatest challenges faced for the utilization of heterogeneous
catalysts in the development of biomass conversion to chemicals and fuels. As many …

The role of Lewis and Brønsted sites in the dehydration of glycerol on niobium oxide and
Na+-exchanged niobium oxide is investigated using FTIR spectroscopy supported by DFT …

Solvent selection is a pressing challenge in developing efficient and selective liquid phase
catalytic processes, as predictive understanding of the solvent effect remains lacking. In this …

HZSM-5 zeolites modified by simple and economical impregnation with phosphoric acid
were applied to acrolein production from glycerol. After 68 h on stream, the glycerol …

The surface species formed by glycerol on γ-Al2O3, TiO2 anatase, ZrO2, MgO, and CeO2
both in the presence and in the absence of bulk water are investigated with infrared …

Metal–support interaction is a hot topic in catalysis, but attention has seldom been drawn to
the promotional effect of metal–irreducible SiO 2 interfaces. Here, Cu/SBA-15 catalysts with …

In this study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes supported Pt and Pt-based bimetallic catalysts
were prepared and their catalytic activities were investigated to screen effective and …
