Summary: Nanozeolite Y was successfully synthesized without a template and modified with phosphorous (P) and various metals. The introduction of P altered the catalyst acidity and resulted in higher olefin yield, while the introduction of cobalt (Co) exhibited similar activity to the P-modified catalyst. However, the introduction of zirconium (Zr) caused a decrease in catalytic activity due to excessive metal distribution and blockage of the zeolite's porous structure.

Summary: The electronic properties of various cationic forms of MFI type lamellar zeolites were studied using DFT calculations and compared with their bulk counterparts. The results show that different cationic forms of lamellar zeolites exhibit distinct band gap widths, which are lower than those of their bulk counterparts and arise from the surface atoms. Furthermore, the study suggests that Na+ cations act as structure-directing agents while H+ cations passivate the surface of lamellar zeolites.

Summary: This article reports the use of chalcogenide semiconductor and bioceramics thin films for sensing urea. Copper sulfide (CuS) semiconductor was deposited on rigid substrates using a chemical bath technique, and the films were characterized optically and electrically. Bioglass 45S5/TiO2 Nps and zeolite ZMS5/1.5 [Ti] were used as immobilization matrix for urease enzyme, and the bioceramics materials were synthesized using a sol-gel method and deposited on the semiconductor thin film using a spin coating technique. Scanning electron microscopy showed the presence of a channel and a porous microstructure suitable for immobilizing enzymes. The changes in chemical, optical, and electrical properties of the films before and after the urea test were also reported. The results showed successful immobilization of urease enzyme in the bioceramic matrices, and an increase in resistivity as the urea concentration increased, indicating the detection of the analyte.

Summary: This study investigated the conversion of abundant and cheap LPG into valuable aromatic compounds using modified ZSM-5 zeolite. Optimal reaction conditions were determined, and Ga and Zn were identified as suitable catalyst promoters. The results showed that the concentration of Ga influenced the catalyst lifetime and selectivity for butane, while higher concentrations of Zn had a similar effect for propane feed. Interestingly, Ga outperformed Zn when LPG was used as the feed. The choice between Ga and Zn as promoters depends on the composition of LPG, with Ga showing better performance in this study.

Summary: This research investigated the impact of the physical properties of urea-desilicated HZSM-5 catalyst on upgrading lignite pyrolysis volatiles into aromatics. Mild urea treatment enhances the generation of secondary mesopores and Brønsted acid sites while preserving micropores. These modifications promote the diffusion and cleavage of macromolecules into smaller fragments and ensure shape selectivity for aromatic formation. Urea-desilicated catalysts exhibit improved performance compared to parent HZSM-5, particularly in the production of benzene and toluene. However, excessive desilication leads to a significant decrease in aromatic yield due to the loss of micropores, mesopores, and Brønsted acid sites.

Summary: The transformation of propene on copper-modified ZSM-5 zeolite has been investigated using 13C MAS NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. Two major reaction pathways, namely aromatization to benzene and toluene, and oxidation to acrolein, have been identified. Copper-allyl species are found to be key intermediates in both processes. The role of different active sites, including Cu2+-O2- Lewis acid-base pairs and [Cu3(mu-O)3]2+ oxo-clusters, in the formation of allylic species and the oxidation of copper-allyls has been established. The obtained results are important for the development of zeolite-based catalysts for propene aromatization to simple aromatic compounds and the partial oxidation to acrolein.

Summary: This study focuses on manganese doped CdS thin films synthesized by chemical bath deposition. The incorporation of Mn2+ cations in CdS was found to influence the crystalline structure, morphology, and optoelectronic properties. Doped thin films exhibited a uniform hexagonal structure, changed growth orientation, and showed scale-like and needle-like morphologies. The bandgap and rectification speed of Schottky diodes were modified by introducing manganese. This study suggests the potential for affordable high-speed optoelectronic devices.
