Summary: A low-cost multifunctional catalyst derived from Ni-loaded dolomite is capable of producing hydrogen-rich syngas from toluene in a single reactor. The catalyst could produce syngas containing >70% hydrogen with high cold-gas-efficiency, without deactivation or structural change observed over 10 consecutive cycles. The remarkable performance is attributed to the promotional effects arising from the formation of the MgxNi1-xO solid solution.

Summary: This review summarizes recent developments and future perspectives in COx-free hydrogen production through methane pyrolysis. It discusses in detail the thermal and catalytic cracking of methane into hydrogen and carbon. Various types of solid and liquid catalysts are reviewed in terms of their performance in hydrogen selectivity, methane conversion, and deactivation. Although some pilot-scale technologies have been discussed, large-scale industrialization is hindered by challenges such as rapid solid catalyst deactivation, low-priced carbon by-product of molten catalysts, harsh reactor material conditions, and the performance of stable molten catalysts. For catalytic methane cracking in molten catalysts (salt or metal), significant advancements in catalyst development, product separation, and reactor design are still needed to commercialize methane pyrolysis for hydrogen production. To provide guidance for future research, this review specifically focuses on catalyst design, recent developments in molten salt-based methane cracking, and reactor and process design.

Summary: Using hydroxides as promoters to accelerate Al hydrolysis is a widely researched hydrogen production technology, and the type and concentration of hydroxides closely affect its hydrogen production performance. This study compares the impacts of different low concentration hydroxides on Al hydrolysis dynamics. The results show that different hydroxides have different effects on Al hydrolysis. While NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)(2), Mg(OH)(2), Fe(OH)(3), and Al(OH)(3) promote Al hydrolysis, Cu(OH)(2) inhibits it. Mechanism analyses reveal that the promoting effect of NaOH, KOH, and Mg(OH)(2) is mainly due to OH-, while Al(OH)(3) and Fe(OH)(3) act as catalysts. For Ca(OH)(2), both OH- and the reaction between Ca(OH)(2) and Al(OH)(4-) contribute to its excellent promoting effect. This research indicates that Ca(OH)(2) is a more effective promoter than NaOH and KOH for enhancing the hydrogen production performance of Al hydrolysis.

Summary: Correlating the structure and composition of catalyst with its activity, selectivity, and stability is crucial for advancing the understanding of electrocatalytic processes for chemical energy conversion. Well-defined colloidal nanocrystals provide an ideal platform to investigate the effect of these parameters on catalytic performance, offering access to active catalysts that cannot be produced by other synthetic methods. Colloidal nanocrystals obtained as inks can be integrated onto different substrates and cell configurations to study interactions at the mesoscale and device-dependent reaction microenvironment.

Summary: In this study, a solar photothermo-catalytic combined process was investigated, involving the oxidation of toluene to CO2 and the subsequent conversion of CO2 into solar fuels. Two noble-metal-free catalytic systems were used, MnOx-ZrO2 for toluene removal and brookite TiO2-CeO2 mixed oxides for CO2 conversion. The addition of copper-based materials as co-catalysts further improved the CO2 conversion. The synergism between thermocatalytic and photocatalytic mechanisms played a key role in enhancing energy saving and catalytic performance. The proposed approach has promising potential for obtaining solar fuels from toxic pollutants.

Summary: The interaction between CeO2-GO or CeO2-rGO and gold as co-catalysts was investigated for solar H-2 production by photoreforming of glycerol. The presence of gold was essential for boosting H-2 production, while GO or rGO extended the visible-light activity of cerium oxide. The strong interaction between CeO2 and Au led to good stability of the CeO2-rGO-Au sample and progressive reduction of GO into rGO contributed to the catalytic behavior.

Summary: Advancements in materials science have led researchers to explore nature for new materials, and in this case, cyclodextrins have been functionalized to improve their CO2 adsorption capacity. These functionalized cyclodextrins showed similar adsorption capacity to BEA zeolite and could also enhance drug adsorption. Characterization techniques such as NMR and mass spectrometry were used to determine the degree of functionalization, and FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the presence and interaction of CO2 adsorbed by the material. In silico studies further supported the chemisorption process observed experimentally.

Summary: This study focuses on optimizing the solar photo-reduction method for preparing TiO2-rGO composites with simultaneous gold nanoparticles deposition. The photocatalytic performance was evaluated in hydrogen production by glycerol photoreforming under UV and simulated solar irradiation. The TiO2-rGO sample prepared with two hours of solar irradiation showed the highest hydrogen production rate (64 mmol H2 h-1 gcat-1) under UV light, while the one-hour treated sample exhibited the best performance (1.6 mmol H2 h-1 gcat-1) under simulated solar light due to smaller gold particle size. The reduction degree of GO and the presence of gold nanoparticles played crucial roles in the photocatalytic activity of the samples.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
