Different Cu-loading pillared clays catalysts were studied in selective catalytic reduction of NO by propylene. The catalyst prepared by incipient wetness impregnation (Cu/Ti-PILCs) had better catalytic activity and stability than that prepared by ion-exchanged method (Cu-Ti-PILCs). Cu/Ti-PILCs has higher BET surface area than Cu-Ti-PILCs. Pore size distribution analysis and XRD showed that Cu species dispersed well in Cu/Ti-PILCs but formed conglomeration in Cu-Ti-PILCs. TPR showed that Cu2+ species were the main active species on the Cu/Ti-PILCs, which was responsible for the high catalytic activity of catalyst.

Tungsten-doped vanadia-based catalysts supported on anatase TiO<sub>2</sub> are used to reduce hazardous NO emissions through the selective catalytic reduction of ammonia, but their exact atomistic structure is still largely unknown. In this computational study, the atomistic structure of mixed tungsta-vanadia monolayers on TiO<sub>2</sub> support under typical operating conditions has been addressed by periodic density functional theory calculations. The chemical environment has been taken into account in a grand-canonical approach. We evaluate the stable catalyst structures as a function of the oxygen chemical potential and vanadium and tungsten concentrations. Thus we determine structural motifs of tungsta-vanadia/TiO<sub>2</sub> catalysts that are stable under operating conditions. Furthermore, we identify active sites that promise high catalytic activity for the selective catalytic reduction by ammonia. Our calculations reveal the critical role of the stoichiometry of the tungsta-vanadia layers with respect to their catalytic activity in the selective catalytic reduction.

A simple wet-explosion method was employed to synthesize the Ni–Bi–P composite microspheres. The hollow structure was obtained possibly due to the violent evolution of gas bubbles when the reaction reagents were mixed. The hollow microspheres of Ni–Bi–P exhibited outstanding high catalytic activity for the reduction of [Formula: see text]-nitrophenol ([Formula: see text]-NP) to form [Formula: see text]-aminophenol in the presence of NaBH4 within only 1[Formula: see text]s. Due to the space limitation, the hollow structure of Ni–Bi–P microspheres helps to accommodate and confine the molecules of NaBH4 and [Formula: see text]-NP within the small space where NaBH4 and [Formula: see text]-NP contact closely at Ni–Bi–P catalysts. The synergetic action of Ni, Bi and P elements also contributes the enhanced catalytic activity.
