Zeolites encapsulated metal and metal oxide species (regarded as metal@zeolite) is an important type of heterogeneous catalysts. They give performances that steadily outperform the traditional ...

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has been applied as the core technology of coal-to-liquid and gas-to-liquid processes in industry. However, the product selectivity control of syngas conversion still ...

Endowed with a network of interconnected, molecule-sized pores and channels, zeolites have been used in chemical separations, oil refining, and catalysis for decades ...

A catalyst developed by a Washington State University research team efficiently converts abundant, renewable ethanol into ...

Chemical engineers at MIT have designed a cobalt catalyst that transforms polymers into propane selectively and efficiently (JACS Au, 2022, DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.2c00402). This method could provide an ...

Fuel from waste? It is possible. But hitherto, converting organic waste to fuel has not been economically viable. Excessively high temperatures and too much energy are required. Using a novel catalyst ...

Thanks to various crystalline topologies, tunable chemical composition, high (hydro)thermal stability, and controllable surface acidity/basicity, zeolites are widely used in petroleum refining, ...

Engineered surfactants direct the formation of microporous nanosheets exhibiting superior catalytic lifetimes. Zeolites — minerals formed from silicon and aluminum — have intricate networks of acidic ...

A research team discovers new zeolite catalysts for catalytic cracking applications. A research team at POSTECH has uncovered a promising new zeolite, anticipated to be a turning point for the oil ...

A chemical reaction can convert two polluting greenhouse gases into valuable building blocks for cleaner fuels and feedstocks, but the high temperature required for the reaction also deactivates the ...

(Nanowerk News) University of Minnesota engineering researchers are leading an international team that has made a major breakthrough in developing a catalyst used during chemical reactions in the ...
