News from our #MXene team. While the lack of surface passivating groups makes Mo2CTx an active FT catalyst, the presence of stoichiometric carbidic carbon renders it selective to diesel range alkanes. See details in @ACSCatalysis https://t.co/7Y01IGXFIA
A new study by @Zix_chen, thanks to insights obtained via a @PANACEA_NMR project, uncovers that Ga–O–Ga bonds in an #ALDep made catalyst convert to Ga–O–Si bonds upon dehydroxylation (i.e., increasing dispersion). For details, see https://t.co/liAUXxzdDi
Our artistic view in @ChemMater of the situation when less Ga on SiO2 is actually more with regards to alkane dehydrogenation performance (as thinner #ALDep coatings contain a larger fraction of isolated [4]Ga(4Si) sites).
A call in Mater. Today Catal. is now open for manuscripts studying and applying #MXenes in catalysis research (thermal and electro). @GroupLESE contributed a Guest Editor for this issue and hopes to see a firework of exciting papers. For details, see: https://t.co/Zse1jOQWta
More details on the #ALDep of gallia shells: work of @Zix_chen hot of the press #OA in @ChemMater. See insights why Ga-based Lewis acid sites (LAS) are stronger on silica than Al-based LAS and implications for alkane dehydrogenation https://t.co/brrKPhqSo7
One topic that @Zix_chen likes to discuss in particular (especially when @EuropaCat2023) is the structure-activity studies of GaOx catalysts of alkane dehydrogenation prepared by #ALDep. More details too follow soon..
Marrying #SOMC with #ALD to uncover the active Cu(0)–Zn(2+) interface for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol: a great collaboration with @AtsushiUrakawa@CoperetGroup
and @Hui_Zhou1. See details here https://t.co/KjJwY25KEV
Zixuan's first but definitely not last first-author paper is out @CatalysisSciTec! The ethene-to-propene reaction on Ni catalysts correlates with the formation of alkylated aromatic species. Check details #openaccess at https://t.co/sZB1tULQoP
