TL;DR: In this article, a single-step sol-gel method was used for the determination of the Bronsted acid sites/Lewis acid sites ratio, determination of specific surface area (BET method), average pore diameter (BJH method), and catalytic activity in the n-hexane isomerization reaction.

TL;DR: In this article, it was verified that samples with elevated sulfate content were actually those which had Bronsted acid sites and a higher catalytic activity in the isomerization reation of n-hexane.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of co-doped Al2O3 catalysts with porous structures and high surface areas was evaluated in the catalytic decomposition of methane, which is an attractive method for CO/CO2-free production of hydrogen, particularly for fuel cell applications.

TL;DR: In this article, a new and simple method to prepare alumina containing mainly mesopores is described, which has a high surface area (464 m2/g) and a large pore volume ranging from about 0.35 to 0.65 cm3/g.

TL;DR: In this paper, the CO 2 reforming of CH 4 was performed over V-promoted Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalysts similarly prepared by the polymeric precursor method, and the results point out to a low carbon deposition and the surface area (BET) abruptly increases upon the addition of 0.8 Wt.% V.
