In this study, niobia-based materials have been used as supports for Pt nanoparticles and used in the hydrogenation of furfural. The incorporation of dopants (W6+ and Ti4+) in the Nb2O5 structure induced modifications in the surface acidity of the support; in particular, the addition of W6+ increased the amount of Lewis acid sites, while the addition of Ti4+ decreased the number of Lewis acid sites. As a result, the catalytic activity towards the hydrogenation of furfural was affected; high surface acidity resulted in high catalytic activity. The selectivity of the reaction changed with the support acidity as well, with higher amount of furfuryl alcohol produced decreasing the Lewis acid sites.

The mode of operation of titania-supported vanadia (VOx) catalysts for NOx abatement using ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) is still vigorously debated. We introduce a new high surface area VOx/TiO2/SBA-15 model catalyst system based on mesoporous silica SBA-15 making use of atomic layer deposition (ALD) for controlled synthesis of titania and vanadia multilayers. The bulk and surface structure is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis and Raman spectroscopy, as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), revealing the presence of dispersed surface VOx species on amorphous TiO2 domains on SBA-15, forming hybrid Si–O–V and Ti–O–V linkages. Temperature-dependent analysis of the ammonia SCR catalytic activity reveals NOx conversion levels of up to ~60%. In situ and operando diffuse reflection IR Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy shows N–Hstretching modes, representing adsorbed ammonia and -NH2 and -NH intermediate structures on Bronsted and Lewis acid sites. Partial Lewis acid sites with adjacent redox sites are proposed as the active sites and desorption of product molecules as the rate-determining step at low temperature. The high NOx conversion is attributed to the presence of highly dispersed VOx species and the moderate acidity of VOx supported on TiO2/SBA-15.

The superb TOF and high selectivity of Pt/CeAl are associated with the surface properties (e.g. medium Lewis acidic site). The unsaturated Ce4+/Al3+ cations pairs act as the acid sites and electron acceptors to polarize the CO bonds.
