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.

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.

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.

In this work, the constructing of different carbon nanostructures materials were studied, and the single-structure and pure surface of carbon nanostructures were employed to as catalyst support and the morphology and structure of different carbon nanostructures-based catalysts were investigated. NO catalytic reduction was used as a probe reaction to investigate the catalytic properties of different carbon nanostructures materials and how the controlling of carbon nanostructures would affect its catalytic functions. The results show that vanadium was molecularly anchored on the surface of carbon nanostructures and the mesh-carbon nanotubes as a support show a high catalytic activity.
