A HNO3-promoted benzyl alcohol catalytic oxidation system was developed in the presence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), using molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant under the mild reaction conditions. The effects of solvent, reaction temperature, amount of HNO3, catalyst loading and surface structure of CNTs on the catalytic performances have been investigated. The CNTs showed excellent catalytic activity exhibiting benzyl alcohol conversion of 96.2% and benzaldehyde selectivity of 88.3% under optimal conditions. In particular, it had remarkable reusability without a significant loss in its activity and selectivity after six consecutive usages. The carbon catalysts were characterized by N-2 adsorption-desorption, FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), Raman, SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) techniques. A possible reaction pathway has been proposed, it is clarified that HNO2 attacks benzyl alcohol to generate benzyl nitrite, which is decomposed to benzaldehyde over the HNO3-promoted CNTs-catalyzed system, and electron transfer in graphene sheets plays an important role in the decomposition of benzyl nitrite. These results not only provide an attractive metal-free alternative to noble-metal-catalyzed systems but also come up with a better understanding of the mechanism of CNTs as a metal-free catalyst for the liquid-phase oxidation of benzyl alcohol.

Elucidating mechanism of ethylbenzene oxidation catalyzed by carbon-based catalysts with kinetic modeling

Yongzhao Su, Jiangnan Huang, Guangxing Yang, Hongjuan Wang, Hao Yu, Qiao Zhang, Yonghai Cao, Feng Peng

Summary: Ethylbenzene (EB) oxidation to oxygenated products is studied using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and CNTs with confined cobalt nanoparticles (Co@C/CNTs) as catalysts. Co@C/CNTs show enhanced interfacial charge transfer and improved overall activity by speeding up elementary steps and reducing energy barriers. The rate-determining step is confirmed to be the homolytic cleavage of peroxide. The predicted results and experimental data for the ratio of acetophenone (AcPO) to 1-phenylethyl alcohol (PEA) are in close agreement, indicating the dominant role of AcPO synthesis in the reaction route.

Yiming Chen, Zirong Wang, Yue Zhang, Ping Wei, Wenkang Xu, Hongjuan Wang, Hao Yu, Jianbo Jia, Kun Zhang, Chao Peng

Summary: A ternary CdS@Nb2O5/Nb2CTx heterojunction with hierarchical structure was designed to promote photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution. The optimized photocatalyst exhibited HER rates of 1501.7 and 2715.8 mu mol g-1 h-1, with 12.4% and 26.1% AQE at 420 nm, respectively, using Na2S/Na2SO3 and lactic acid as sacrificial agents. Its HER performance was 10.9-fold higher than pure CdS and remained 87% activity after five cycle tests. This work opens possibilities for Nb-based MXene photocatalysts for solar energy conversion and other applications.

Summary: M-N-C materials (M = Fe, Co, Cu, Zn) were studied as catalysts for cumene oxidation through theoretical calculations and experiment validation. The changes of Gibbs free energy for the elementary steps showed that the activation of cumene/O2 molecules and the decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) played a significant role in cumene oxidation. The interactions between M-N-C and cumene, O2, and CHP were fully investigated.

Shibin Chen, Cuiting Yang, Xiaoying Zhou, Guang Miao, Hao Yu, Jing Xiao

Summary: The objective of this work is to investigate the adsorption separation of liquid-phase xylene isomers using ultramicroporous carbon spheres. The synthesized glucose-based adsorbent (UMC-xyl) exhibits excellent performance in p-xylene/m-xylene separation, surpassing commercial adsorbents including the industrial benchmark KBaX. The micropore diffusion model provides a better fit to the adsorption kinetics of UMC-xyl and the narrow ultramicropore size in UMC-xyl facilitates the separation of xylene isomers.

Mechanistic Insights into the Selective Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural over Au/TiO2 Catalysts under Photoexcited and Dark States

Wenqing Yu, Ying Wang, Hanwen Zhang, Qiao Zhang, Shengyang Wang, Zhiting Liu, Guangxing Yang, Feng Peng

Summary: The 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation reaction is a promising method for producing valuable chemical products from biomass. Selective oxidation of the aldehyde group in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural resulted in the production of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid on Au/anatase and Au/rutile catalysts under photoexcited and dark states. Visible light irradiation improved the reactivity of the oxidation reaction, with the effect being more pronounced at lower reaction temperatures. The main active species were O-1(2) and trace amounts of O2(-) under dark conditions, while under visible light irradiation, the main active species were O2(-), O-1(2), and h(+) for both Au/rutile and Au/anatase catalysts.

Xiang Li, Guangxing Yang, Qiao Zhang, Zhiting Liu, Feng Peng

Summary: Direct ethanol fuel cells have the potential to convert biomass ethanol into electricity, but the efficiency is hindered by low selectivity in breaking the C-C bond. This study found that the presence of alkali cations can enhance the selectivity of CO2 production. In addition, the catalytic activity and CO2 selectivity were correlated to the ionic strength of ion pairs.

Prediction of phosphate adsorption amount, capacity and kinetics via machine learning: A generally physical-based process and proposed strategy of using descriptive text messages to enrich datasets

Baiqin Zhou, Huiping Li, Ziyu Wang, Hui Huang, Yujun Wang, Ruichun Yang, Ranran Huo, Xiaoyan Xu, Ting Zhou, Xiaochen Dong

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.
