Summary: In this study, porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) with diphosphine units were synthesized as efficient support materials for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). These PAFs possess high surface areas and stability, allowing for scattered and accessible sites for gold coordination. The resulting Au-PAFs exhibited excellent catalytic activities in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and other nitroaromatic derivatives. Furthermore, a continuous catalytic device with Au-PAF-160 catalyst was explored, demonstrating the potential applications of these materials in heterogeneous catalysis.

Summary: Twin monomers form interpenetrating organic-inorganic hybrid materials through thermal polymerization. Carbonization and calcination produce porous MgO with high surface area, which shows excellent catalytic activity towards Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reductions. The twin polymerization of MgO with CuO or AgO leads to the formation of nanoparticle-decorated materials, which exhibit high catalytic reactivity towards the reduction of methylene blue.

Summary: The study demonstrates that nicotinamide groups grafted on ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) can serve as stabilizers for RhNPs used as catalysts, forming spherical rhodium nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution. On the contrary, amine-functionalized OMS tends to form RhNP aggregates after catalytic reactions, affecting the reaction efficiency. Supported RhNPs also exhibit selective reduction of different groups and show high activity in reductive amination reactions.

It was found that TiO2/Al-ZSM-12 zeolite exhibited higher acidity and catalytic activity compared to the unsubstituted zeolite Al-ZSM-12.

Summary: This study aimed to mitigate the physical aging in thin-film composite (TFC) membranes based on polymer intrinsic microporosity (PTMSP) by introducing polymer additives, including soft, branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) and rigid, porous aromatic framework PAF-11. The results showed that the introduction of cross-linked PEI improved the TFC performance, maintaining a CO2 permeance level of 30%. However, the best results were achieved by combining porous, rigid, and soft polymeric additives, which preserved the transport characteristics of the TFC membrane at 43% after 450 days.

Summary: The catalytic activity of unsupported NiMoS catalysts prepared by thermal decomposition of a precursor was studied in diphenyl ether hydrodeoxygenation. The amount of sulfiding agent added was found to affect the morphological and structural features of the catalysts, with a lower amount resulting in a more active catalyst due to increased dispersion of the active phase particles.

Summary: Torrefaction and hydrothermal carbonization are low-temperature thermochemical procedures that convert biomass into biocoal, which is a carbon-neutral alternative to fossil coal. Biocoals have hydrophobic properties, increased energy density, and similar calorific value to brown coals compared to untreated biomass. The formation mechanisms of biocoal differ between the two processes due to the presence of a large amount of water in hydrothermal carbonization. This review focuses on papers discussing specific features of low-temperature heat treatment of biomass and the conversion trends of biomass structural components (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin) during torrefaction and hydrothermal carbonization.

Summary: The in-situ formation of supported hydrous ruthenium oxide (HRO) from RuO2 over micro-mesoporous materials is reported for the selective hydrogenation of bio-oil under mild reaction conditions (200 degrees C, 20 bar H2) in an aqueous medium. The phase composition of HRO was determined using a variety of characterization techniques for the first time. HRO was generated during the hydrodeoxygenation process, as demonstrated by synchrotron radiation and in-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of real bio-oil was successfully performed at 200 degrees C, 20 bar H2 on RuO2-containing catalysts, with the approximate composition of HRO after 3 hours consisting of metallic Ru, RuO2, and RuOOH phases in approximately equal ratios.
