Zeolite-based catalysts are usually utilized in the form of a composite with binders, such as alumina, silica, clay, and others. However, these binders are usually known to block the accessibility of the active sites in zeolites, leading to a decreased effective surface area and agglomeration of zeolite particles. The aim of this work is to utilize carbon nanostructures (CNS) as a binding material for nano-zeolite-Y particles. The unique properties of CNS, such as its high surface area, thermal stability, and flexibility of its fibrous structure, makes it a promising material to hold and bind the nano-zeolite particles, yet with a contemporaneous accessibility of the reactants to the porous zeolite structure. In the current study, a nano-zeolite-Y/CNS composite catalyst was fabricated through a ball milling approach. The catalyst possesses a high surface area of 834 m2/g, which is significantly higher than the conventional commercial cracking catalysts. Using CNS as a binding material provided homogeneous distribution of the zeolite nanoparticles with high accessibility to the active sites and good mechanical stability. In addition, CNS was found to be an effective binding material for nano-zeolite particles, solving their major drawback of agglomeration. The nano-zeolite-Y/CNS composite showed 80% conversion for hexadecane catalytic cracking into valuable olefins and hydrogen gas, which was 14% higher compared to that of pure nano-zeolite-Y particles.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in adsorbents with high surface area, high porosity, high stability and high selectivity for CO2 adsorption. By the incorporation of the additive on the supports such as zeolite, silica, and carbon, the physicochemical properties of the adsorbent and CO2 adsorption performance can be enhanced. In this review, we focus on the overview of bifunctional materials (BFMs) for CO2 adsorption. The findings of this study suggests that the high surface area and high porosity of the support provide a good medium for high dispersion and accessibility of additives (amine or metal oxide), enhancing the CO2 adsorption efficiency. The excessive additive however may lead to a decrease of CO2 adsorption performance due to pore blockage and the decrease of active sites for CO2 interactions. The synergistic relationship of the supporting material and additive is significant towards the enhancement of CO2 adsorption.

Adjusting the structure of g-C3N4 to significantly enhance its photocatalytic activity has attracted considerable attention. Herein, a novel, sponge-like g-C3N4 with a porous structure is prepared from the annealing of protonated melamine under N2/H2 atmosphere (PH-CN). Compared to bulk g-C3N4 via calcination of melamine under ambient atmosphere (B-CN), PH-CN displays thinner nanosheets and a higher surface area (150.1 m2/g), which is a benefit for shortening the diffusion distance of photoinduced carriers, providing more active sites, and finally favoring the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity. Moreover, it can be clearly observed from the UV-vis spectrum that PH-CN displays better performance for harvesting light compared to B-CN. Additionally, the PH-CN is prepared with a larger band gap of 2.88 eV with the Fermi level and conduction band potential increased and valence band potential decreased, which could promote the water redox reaction. The application experiment results show that the hydrogen evolution rate on PH-CN was nearly 10 times higher than that of B-CN, which was roughly 4104 μmol h−1 g−1. The method shown in this work provides an effective approach to adjust the structure of g-C3N4 with considerable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity.

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ERCO2) driven by renewable energy to produce low-carbon fuels and value-added chemicals has been well known as a way capable of simultaneously solving energy exhaustion and global warming issue. Catalysts play a vital role in low temperature ERCO2, and those well used are single metals, metal oxides and alloys. Due to the characteristics of nanometer size, low resistance, high surface area, chemical stability, special mechanical and electronic properties, some novel carbon nomaterials (e.g. carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene) show excellent properties in ERCO2 as catalysts or supports which can improve the electrochemical performance: activity, selectivity, and stability. Actually, they mostly act as support materials and little directly as catalysts. The specific surface area and the active sites of loaded catalysts can be increased, then the performance is significantly improved. In this work, we will make a review on the progress as to CNTs and graphene as catalysts and supports in ERCO2 in recent years and give the future prospects.

Ordered mesoporous nickel (mesoNi) was successfully synthesized with a hard templating method by using KIT-6 ordered mesoporous silica as a template. With small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2 sorption technique, the mesoporous structures of synthesized catalysts were characterized with desired high surface area (84.2 m2·g−1) and narrow pore size distribution. MesoNi exhibited outstanding catalytic cleavage activity for lignin model compounds (benzyl phenyl ether, BPE) with high selectivity of arenes in the flow reactor system. MesoNi also showed higher regeneration rates than non-porous ones, which were confirmed from deactivation and regeneration mechanism studies in the flow reaction system with varied high temperature and pressure. The adsorbed poisoning species on the mesoporous Ni surface were analyzed and phenol could be the main poisoning species. The excellent catalytic cleavage performance of mesoNi originates from their unique mesoporous structure, which offers high surface area and Ni active sites. The outstanding catalytic performance shows that this process provides a promising candidate for improved lignin valorization with general applicability.
