Summary: Inspired by natural porous morphology, a novel additive manufacturing process is proposed to fabricate porosity-embedded structures by integrating stereolithography and inkjet printing. Water droplets are dispensed onto a layer of liquid resin, which is then photocured to define the layer profile and capture the deposited water droplets. By varying inkjet printing parameters, the size and distribution of micropores in the 3D-printed part can be modulated.

Summary: The catalytic properties of graphene-supported ruthenium nanoparticles have been adjusted by modifying their metal surface with pyrene-tagged N-heterocyclic-carbene ligands. The activity and selectivity of the catalyst are highly dependent on the surface coverage of the ligands, with higher coverage leading to lower activity but higher selectivity. The reactivity and stability of the catalysts can be controlled by modifying the surface with specific ligands.

Summary: Fluidized Catalytic cracking (FCC) is a main conversion process in refineries, using Y zeolite as the main source of activity and selectivity. A new Y zeolite catalyst, Phinesse(TM), based on partial substitution of RE by P, has been developed and shown to have similar performance to the conventional RE stabilized counterpart. The hydrothermal stability of different USYs with different dealumination degrees, containing P or La alone or a combination of both stabilizing elements, was compared. The results provide insights into the benefits of P-La stabilization observed in the commercial PhinesseTM catalyst.

Summary: Approaching the level of molecular recognition of enzymes with solid catalysts is a challenging goal, achieved in this work for the competing transalkylation and disproportionation of diethylbenzene catalyzed by acid zeolites. The key diaryl intermediates for the two competing reactions only differ in the number of ethyl substituents in the aromatic rings, and therefore finding a selective zeolite able to recognize this subtle difference requires an accurate balance of the stabilization of reaction intermediates and transition states inside the zeolite microporous voids.

Summary: Heterogeneous bimetallic catalysts are widely used in industrial processes, but understanding the active sites in these catalysts at the atomic and molecular level is challenging due to their structural complexity. Comparing the structural features and catalytic performances of different bimetallic entities can aid in developing a unified understanding of the structure-reactivity relationships and improving current bimetallic catalysts. This review discusses the geometric and electronic structures of three representative types of bimetallic catalysts, as well as the synthesis methods, characterization techniques, and catalytic applications of these catalysts.

Summary: In this study, four organosulfide-based covalent organic polymers (SOPs) were synthesized via click reactions, using S(N)2 or thiol-yne coupling reactions. The formation of SOPs in high yields was confirmed by solid-state C-13 NMR and FTIR spectroscopies, and the molar ratio of C : S in SOP-type materials confirmed the stoichiometric products. The SOPs exhibited high porosity, with specific surface areas up to 180 m(2) g(-1), which strongly depended on the ligands used. Additionally, the SOPs showed excellent catalytic activity in carboxylic acid esterification reactions, with high conversions and efficient recyclability. The proposed reaction mechanism involved the activation of carboxylic acids by hypervalent SMIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSISO (n(O) -> sigma(S)*) interactions with sulfur centers of the SOPs, enhancing the electrophilic character of the carboxylic carbon and facilitating alcohol addition. Therefore, SOPs represent a new class of metal-free heterogeneous Lewis acid (organo)catalysts.

Summary: The synthesis of highly efficient nano-sized Ti-rich TS-1 zeolites with controllable titanium species is crucial in zeolite catalytic reactions. A new method was developed using tetrabutyl orthotitanate tetramer as the titanium source, which slowed down the zeolite crystallization process and prevented the formation of anatase species. The Ti-rich TS-1 zeolite prepared with this method exhibited enriched active titanium species, enlarged external surface area, and superior catalytic performance in oxidative desulfurization reactions.

Summary: For many years, capturing, storing or sequestering CO2 from emission sources has been an effective method for reducing atmospheric CO2. The chemical conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals has gained much attention due to CO2's abundance and renewable nature. Catalysts, particularly zeolite and ordered mesoporous materials, play a critical role in the conversion of CO2. By studying the reactions involving these catalysts, this review aims to explore the potential opportunities for using them to convert CO2 into essential chemicals and fuels.
