- Lower C2-C4 olefins are important commodity chemicals usually produced by steam cracking of naphtha or fluid catalytic cracking of vacuum gas oil.
- Fabrication of catalysts based on metal nanoclusters has attracted intensive research attention due to their superior catalytic activity.
- Pt-Ni nanoparticles are promising catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction but they suffer from Ni dissolution in oxidizing conditions.
- Transition metal-based phosphides have been increasingly developed as catalysts for efficient water splitting.
- Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are of great interest due to their ultrahigh activity and selectivity.
- Recently, considerable attention has been devoted to heterogeneous catalysts, which offer several advantages, such as mild reaction conditions, high throughput, and ease of work-up procedures. However, more research is needed to identify the most effective catalysts for different use-cases.
- Although it is generally acknowledged that iron carbides are the active phase in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), adjusting the formation of active phase and catalytic performance via the initial crystal structure of iron oxides has never been studied.
- Layered lithium cobalt oxide, LiCoO2 (LCO), is a promising catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR); however, its bifunctional activity is still far from desirable.
- Liquid higher hydrocarbons accumulate inside of heterogeneous catalyst pores, resulting in negative influences on reaction rate as well as product distribution, especially for industrial mm-sized particles.
