Summary: The slow kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) hinders the progress of water electrolysis technology and the long-term efficiency of hydrogen energy production. By creating a self-supported electrode with FeS film coated Fe foam as a substrate, ordering resoluble molybdate (MoO42-) anions in interlayers, and codoping as a catalytically active phase, an electrochemically self-reconstructing (ECSR) catalyst for OER is developed. The catalyst introduces new active sites through the dissolution of molybdate and sulfur ions, resulting in improved OER activity and stability.

Summary: The coprecipitation of molybdate with ferric iron is commonly used for treating Mobearing acid mine drainage and mineral-processing effluents. This study investigated the effects of pH, neutralization reagents, and co-ions on Mo(VI) removal. It was found that using CaO as base at circum-neutral pH enhanced Mo(VI) removal, with Mo(VI) mainly existing as calcium molybdate in the coprecipitates.

Summary: The catalytic activity and selectivity of Fe2(MoO4)3 obtained from solid-state synthesis protocols were studied for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. Ball-milling of the solid-state synthesis precursors improved the activity, and the correlation between ball-milling time, defect concentration, and catalytic activity was investigated. The defect structures introduced by ball-milling were found to affect the catalytic activity and selectivity.

Summary: Industrial heterogeneous catalysts with high complexity and high performance can be simplified into models for mechanistic studies, although these models may have lower performance. To reveal the origin of high performance without sacrificing relevance, a holistic approach is presented by focusing on an industrial benchmark. Through a combination of kinetic and structural analyses, it is shown how the performance of Bi-Mo-Co-Fe-K-O industrial acrolein catalysts is achieved. The surface BiMoO ensembles decorated with K supported on beta-Co(1-x)FexMoO(4) are responsible for propene oxidation, while K-doped iron molybdate facilitates electron activation of dioxygen. Nanostructured vacancy-rich and self-doped bulk phases ensure efficient charge transport between the active sites. The unique features of the real system enable its high performance.

Summary: In this study, titania was introduced as a new catalyst for the oxidative dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde. The highest formaldehyde yield of 70% was achieved at 600°C with a catalyst amount of 1.6g, a methanol to oxygen ratio of 2.0. Catalyst deactivation was observed at higher temperatures, while stable conversion (85%) was achieved at 500°C.

Summary: Methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) serve as important platform compounds in the coal chemical, petrochemical, and fine chemical industries. The synthesis of methanol/DME has been industrialized, but with a production capacity exceeding market demand. To make better use of these compounds, the selective oxidation of methanol/DME to produce high value-added chemicals has gained significant attention for its green and environmentally friendly nature. This article provides a summary of recent advancements in the synthesis of formaldehyde, methyl formate, dimethoxymethane, and polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers through selective oxidation of methanol/DME. The article also explores the challenges and prospects in catalyst design and application, aiming to provide theoretical guidance for activating and cleaving C-O, C-H, or O-H bonds in other alcohol/ether molecules and low-carbon alkanes to synthesize high value-added chemicals.

Summary: In this study, a Fe-Mo catalyst was designed with high resistance to Pb poisoning, achieving over 90% NOx conversion even with a high Pb content. The poisoned catalysts showed higher intrinsic activity and lower activation energy compared to fresh sample. The formation of PbMoO4 phase through capturing of Pb species improved the catalyst's activity without affecting its other properties.

Summary: In this study, 10 wt% MoO3 supported on HAP pellets were investigated for the selective oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde. The effect of pellet density and porosity on catalytic performance was evaluated, showing that decreasing pellet density led to increased activity and selectivity to formaldehyde. Despite not outperforming the industrial reference catalyst, the MoO3/HAP catalysts showed promising potential for further optimization.

Summary: Formaldehyde formation in different reactor systems and catalysts was studied using photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy. The results showed that formaldehyde yield was higher or comparable in empty stainless steel reactor and over crude silicon carbide particles compared to zeolite catalysts. This study reveals the important role of methanol dehydrogenation in the methanol-to-hydrocarbons conversion.

Summary: Formaldehyde is a major contributor to air pollution and a green technology called photocatalytic oxidation has been developed to remove it. However, there are still challenges to overcome, such as insufficient reaction active sites and active species. In this study, a new photocatalyst was prepared using a hydrothermal method, which improved the efficiency of formaldehyde removal.

Summary: The issue with metal-organic frameworks as CO2-epoxide cycloaddition catalysts lies in the uncertainty of catalytic sites. This study used a Zn-phosphonocarboxylate framework to investigate the structure-property relationship and designed a series of iso-reticular frameworks to explore precise active sites.
