Summary: Non-oxidative propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is an important method for propylene production. Recent studies have shown that cobalt-containing catalysts have great potential in this process and can achieve efficiencies comparable to platinum- and chromium-based catalytic systems. This study investigated the active sites of cobalt aluminates (CoAl2O4-Al2O3) responsible for PDH and found that cobalt oxide forms tightly covering alumina or embedded in the spinel structure are the most likely catalytic sites for this reaction. Further research is needed to understand the role of surface oxygen vacancies in enhancing the catalytic activity.

Summary: Photothermal catalysis offers an effective and economical solution for the elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this study, various surface defect engineering strategies were used to enhance the low-temperature propane oxidation of 8-MnO2. The treatment of 8-MnO2 with urea-H2O2 resulted in excellent thermal and photothermal activities of propane oxidation, attributed to the high concentration of Mn4+ and surface-active oxygen species. The strategy provides insights for the rational design of efficient transition metal catalysts and an in-depth understanding of the photothermal catalytic VOCs removal mechanism.

Summary: The study discovered that depositing differently sized boronic acids into the micropores of silica supports results in different distributions of surface borate species after calcination. These materials exhibit a wide range of rates in ODHP but similar selectivity, indicating they differ only in the numbers of active sites. The correlation between identified features and catalyst activity confirms hydroxylated nonring boron as the likely active site, providing a target for future catalyst syntheses.

Summary: Supported platinum catalysts on PtOx/CeO2 exhibit different structures depending on the reaction atmosphere. The platinum-ceria solid solution and fine Pt nanoparticles are formed dominantly during propane oxidation and CO-PROX reactions, respectively. The catalytic performance of the platinum-ceria catalysts in propane oxidation is associated with the content of metallic Pt sites, while the Pt(II) species and the surface oxygen vacancy concentration of ceria contribute to the CO reactivity in CO-PROX reaction.

Summary: Selective doping of Sn4+ ions into nano-rod and nano-cubic CeO2 by hydrothermal methods led to the formation of Ce10Sn1Ox catalysts, which exhibited significant promotional effects on both CO oxidation and NO reduction by CO. This can be attributed to the formation of more oxygen vacancies, stronger redox ability, lower formation energies of oxygen vacancies, and weaker alkalinity of the catalysts. Experiments and DFT calculations revealed that both reactions shared the same adsorption/active site, which is Sn2+-Ov-Ce3+.

Summary: Identifying active sites for propane and CO oxidation on Co3O4-based catalysts is crucial for catalyst design. Co3O4/CeO2 shows superior CO oxidation activity due to CeO2 oxygen vacancies promoting O-2 activation, while Co3O4/ZSM-5 exhibits improved propane oxidation activity thanks to the abundant acid sites from ZSM-5. Surface Co3+ species in Co3O4 are discovered to be active sites for both CO and propane activation. The prereduced and post-oxidized Co3O4 catalysts further enhance the activity for both propane and CO oxidation.

Summary: The present study investigated the effect of lipid composition on the properties and lutein delivery performances of filled hydrogels (FH) through incorporating Rhamnolipid-stabilized nanoemulsion (NE)/nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC)/solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) into kappa-carrageenan/konjac glucomannan (KC-KGM) composite hydrogel. The results showed that the viscosity and crystallinity of emulsified lipids increased with the increasing solid lipid content, leading to improved viscoelasticity and stability of FH. The inclusion of EGCG in NE/NLC/SLN-FH prolonged the half-life of lutein and enhanced its bioaccessibility. Overall, this study expands the application of rhamnolipid-stabilized lipids in hybrid gel systems for property improvement and efficient delivery of lipophilic compounds.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
