Summary: A surface encapsulation method was developed to synthesize HZSM-5 @Al-KIT-6 hierarchical zeolites in order to address the issues of poor mono-aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) selectivity and rapid coke deactivation during the catalytic upgrading of lignin pyrolysis vapors. By changing the TEOS/HZSM-5 mass ratio during catalyst synthesis, the acidity and accessibility of the HZSM-5 @Al-KIT-6 hierarchical zeolite can be modulated. The three-dimensional (3-D) cubic mesoporous shell can capture bulky phenolic oligomers and precrack them for further reforming, resulting in improved yield of xylenes and reduced formation of coke deposition.

Summary: Developing an efficient and stable electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is crucial for renewable hydrogen production. In this study, Ru nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated on Ti3C2Tx nanosheets (Ti3C2Tx-NS) using a facile electrochemical reduction method. The Ru@Ti3C2Tx-NS electrocatalyst showed Pt-like electrocatalytic properties for HER, with an ultra-low overpotential, small Tafel slope, and long-term stability in both acidic and basic solutions. Theoretical calculations also demonstrated the lower Gibbs free energy of Ru@Ti3C2Tx-NS for HER compared to pure Ru or Ti3C2Tx-NS. This approach holds promise for designing noble metal NPs anchored MXene nanosheets for HER applications.

Summary: In this study, steam co-gasification of banana peel and brown coal was conducted to efficiently use waste fruit and low-rank coal for hydrogen-rich syngas production. The results showed that the gasification rate of brown coal was significantly enhanced after mixing with banana peel, resulting in a higher carbon conversion and hydrogen-rich gas production yield. The extent of the synergistic effect was influenced by reaction temperature, mixing ratio, and steam amount. It was found that the high potassium content in banana peel provided catalytic effects on water-gas shift reaction and tar reforming/cracking, thus enhancing the gasification of brown coal. Additionally, steam was confirmed to be an important factor in promoting the synergistic effect and hydrogen-rich gas production.

Summary: A mass transfer model based on spatial superposition assumption is proposed to reflect the effect of heterogeneous structure on downer mass transfer behavior. This model requires fewer concentration parameters compared to the multi-scale method and is in good agreement with experimental data. The presence of clusters significantly affects gas-solid mass transfer effectiveness, deteriorating the reaction rate. The simulation shows that mass transfer near the inlet region plays a dominant role, while along the flow direction, the influence of the reaction process gradually becomes stronger.

Summary: Fast heat transfer in the cyclone pyrolyzer enhances the production of pyrolysis gas and tar, improving the quality of tar produced. Compared to the downer pyrolyzer, the cyclone pyrolyzer achieves high solids holdup, violent turbulence, and faster heat transfer. The study reveals that gas-solids heat convection is the main contributor to the heat transfer process, while heat radiation and conduction are relatively small and negligible. The heating rate in the cyclone pyrolyzer is significantly increased compared to the downer pyrolyzer under the same operating conditions.
