Summary: NieCo/Mg(Al)O alloy catalysts with different Co/Ni molar ratios were prepared from Ni-and Co-substituted Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like compounds as precursors. These catalysts showed high activity and stability in dry reforming of methane, effectively inhibiting methane decomposition and coke deposition. Alloying Ni with Co promoted CO2 adsorption/activation and the elimination of carbon species, resulting in improved coke resistance. Hydrotalcite-derived Ni-Co/Mg(Al)O catalysts exhibited better catalytic performance compared to other Ni-Co catalysts.

Summary: Nickel-based catalysts used in the dry reforming of methane (DRM) face issues of coking and sintering, which limit their industrial application. The addition of an anti-coking additive (CaO) to a commercial nickel catalyst was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis. It was observed that the catalyst sintered at temperatures between 850 and 900 degrees C, leading to permanent deactivation. The coking and carbon gasification rates were found to be equal at temperatures of 796-860 degrees C for the tested Ni/CaO-Al2O3 catalyst, depending on the heating rate.

Summary: This study presents a simple and effective strategy to optimize the biocatalytic activity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by utilizing ultrasound-activated enzyme conformation. The results demonstrate a significant enhancement in enzyme activity when compared to enzymes without ultrasound treatment. Molecular dynamics simulation and experimental validation support that the improved activity is attributed to a conformational change in the enzyme's active site. Furthermore, this strategy does not compromise the stability of the biocomposites when exposed to various conditions.

Summary: The intrinsic carrier dynamics and defect density of cuprous oxide have been found to have a decisive influence on the photocatalytic activity. Specifically, the rhombic dodecahedral structure of Cu2O with dominant {110} facets exhibits higher carrier mobility and better charge separation efficiency compared to the cubic structure with {100} surfaces. The results suggest that facet-dependent properties play a crucial role in determining the photoactivity.

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.
