Regulating the acid property of zeolite is an effective strategy to improve dehydration of intermediate alcohol, which is the rate-determining step in hydrodeoxygenation of lignin-based phenolic compounds. Herein, a commercial Hβ (SiO2/Al2O3 = 25) was modified by phosphoric acid, and evaluated in the catalytic performance of guaiacol to cyclohexane, combined with Ni/SiO2 prepared by the ammonia evaporation hydrothermal (AEH) method. Incorporating a small amount of phosphorus had little impact on the morphology, texture properties of Hβ, but led to dramatic variations in acid property, including the amount of acid sites and the ratio of Brønsted acid sites to Lewis acid sites, as confirmed by NH3-TPD, Py-IR, FT-IR and 27Al MAS NMR. Phosphorus modification on Hβ could effectively balance competitive adsorption of guaiacol on Lewis acid sites and intermediate alcohol dehydration on Brønsted acid sites, and then enhanced the catalytic performance of guaiacol hydrodeoxygenation to cyclohexane. By comparison, Hβ containing 2 wt.% phosphorus reached the highest activity and cyclohexane selectivity.

Porous clay heterostructures (PCH) was derived from natural kaolin through intercalation with cationic potato starch as the template. Leaching of PCH was performed in concentrated acid solutions consisting of HCl and H2SO4. Phosphotungstic acid (HPW) supported on PCH and modified PCH were synthesized by wet impregnation method. The resulting PCH showed remarkable increase in surface area starting from 15 m2g–1 for the parent kaolin to maximium value of 725 m2g–1 for PCH. Acidity studies by pyridine adsorption and FTIR spectra showed that both natural kaolin and PCH possessed strong Lewis acid sites. In contrast, the surface acidity of HPW supported on PCH was significantly enhanced and comprising mainly Brönsted acid sites. The correlation between the Brönsted to Lewis acid ratios (B/L) and either conversion or selectivity of the catalysts has been studied in Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole. The PCH/30HPW catalyst with the highest number of Brönsted acid sites showed excellent catalytic activity giving 86% conversion of anisole and high selectivity of 95% toward p-methoxypropiophenone.

Regularly spaced MWW nanosheets combined with single-unit-cell thickness and optimized Al species distribution are highly effective for the alkylation between benzene with 1-dodecene, high conversion of 1-dodecene (ca. 85 %) and selectivity of 2-LAB (ca. 80 %) can be obtained. Detailed studies of this MWW nanaosheets system reveal that ultra-thin MWW nanosheets with ordered arrangement can expose more accessible Brønsted acid sites (ca. ~89 %), and specially place framework Al species on the T2 sites (ca. ~13 %), in which the alkylation mainly occurred under the catalysis of accessible Brønsted acid sites. Besides, the desired 2-LAB is produced on the unique 12-MR hemicavities with solid binding energy and perfect steric configuration. As a proof-of-concept study, we integrate the highly exposed Brønsted acid sites and unrivalled shape-selectivity in the regularly spaced MWW nanosheets system with well characterized acid sites accessibility and pore adaptability, leading to the excellent catalytic performance.
