The local reaction environment of catalytic active sites can be manipulated to modify the
kinetics and thermodynamic properties of heterogeneous catalysis. Because of the unique …

Zeolites are important inorganic crystalline microporous materials with a broad range of
applications in the areas of catalysis, ion exchange, and adsorption/separations. Solid-state …

Natural gas, the cleanest fossil fuel, is an abundant source of methane and expected to play
an increasingly important role in powering the world's economic growth over the energy …

Zeolite nonclassical growth via particle attachment has been proposed for two decades, yet
the attachment mechanism and kinetic regulation remain elusive. Here, nonclassical growth …

The aromatization of long-chain olefins is a critical step in the methanol to aromatics (MTA)
process, which determines the formation of aromatic products. The role of Lewis (L) acid and …

Methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) has the potential to be a technology with high
environmental efficiency for synthesizing benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) from …

Silanols are key players in the application performance of zeolites, yet, their localization and
hydrogen bonding strength need more studies. The effects of post-synthetic ion exchange …

In this work, we demonstrate that amorphous and porous molybdenum silicate microspheres
are highly active catalysts for heterogeneous propylene metathesis. Homogeneous …

Methanol to aromatics (MTA) is regarded as an efficient process to generate benzene,
toluene, xylene (BTX), and other important chemical raw materials, and the polymerization of …

Nickel (Ni) supported on MCM-41 zeolite as hydrogenation catalysts have been widely
applied in various reactions, however, the synergism between Ni and the support remains …
