Uniform CoSn(OH)6 hollow nanoboxes and the derivative with Pt loading (Pt/CoSn(OH)6) were herein synthesized and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). SEM and TEM analyses showed that CoSn(OH)6 possessed mesoporous hollow structure and Pt nanoparticles with size of 2–8[Formula: see text]nm were uniformly dispersed on the surface of CoSn(OH)6 nanoboxes. The performances of the catalysts for the formaldehyde (HCHO) removal at room temperature were evaluated. These Pt/CoSn(OH)6 catalysts exhibited a remarkable catalytic activity as well as stability for room-temperature oxidative decomposition of gaseous HCHO, while the corresponding CoSn(OH)6 only showed adsorption. The synergetic effect between the highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles and the CoSn(OH)6 nanoboxes with mesoporous hollow structure, a large surface area and abundant surface hydroxyl groups is considered to be the main reason for the observed high catalytic activity of Pt/CoSn(OH)6.

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.

Well-dispersed and size-controlled Pd/RGO with highly active catalysts was synthesized through reduction of PdO/GO with hydrazine hydrate and ammonia. The electrocatalytic activity and the stability of the as-prepared Pd/RGO are much better than those of commercial Pd/C catalysts for methanol electrooxidation and the Suzuki reaction.

2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) is an important downstream product obtained by selective oxidation of the biomass-based platform compound 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). In this study, a phosphorus-doped carbon (P-C) supported vanadium phosphate oxide (VPO) catalyst was successfully prepared and showed remarkably high catalytic activity in the selective oxidation of HMF to produce DFF with air as an oxidant. The effects of the reaction temperature, reaction time, solvent, catalyst amount, and VPO loading amount were investigated. The results showed that an HMF conversion rate of 100% and a DFF yield of 97.0% were obtained under suitable conditions, and DMSO was found to be the most suitable solvent under an air atmosphere.

Porous Pt–Pd nanodendrites were fabricated by a co-chemical reduction method using both PVP and urea as the co-stabilizing and co-structure-directing agents. The Pt–Pd nanodendrites displayed high catalytic activity and stability toward the electrooxidation of methanol and ethylene glycol in alkaline media.

Spherical V-MCM-41s with different diameter are synthesized by direct hydrothermal method through the precise control over the molar ratio of NaOH/TEOS. Vanadium supported on spherical MCM-41s is also prepared by impregnation methods. They are used as heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of styrene with H2O2 as oxidant. The results suggest that all catalysts have high catalytic activity, which increases with their diameter decreasing.
