Journal ArticleDOI
Maximizing noble metal utilization in solid catalysts by control of nanoparticle location
Kang Cheng,Luc C. J. Smulders,L. I. van der Wal,Jogchum Oenema,Johannes D. Meeldijk,Nienke L. Visser,Glenn J. Sunley,Tegan Roberts,Zhuoran Xu,Eric J. Doskocil,Hideto Yoshida,Yanping Zheng,Jovana Zečević,Petra E. de Jongh,Krijn P. de Jong +14 more
TL;DR: Cheng et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the minimum loading of platinum for optimal performance in the hydroconversion of n-alkanes for industrially relevant bifunctional catalysts could be reduced by a factor of 10 or more through rational arranging of functional sites at the nanoscale.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Time-Resolved and Visualized Host–Guest Self-assembly Behavior Controlled through Kinetic Trapping
TL;DR: In this article , a real-time monitor of kinetic traps within the thermodynamic equilibrium process is proposed for the fundamental research of dynamic supramolecular chemistry, where the authors designed a dynamically...
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling cobalt Fischer–Tropsch stability and selectivity through manganese titanate formation
James H. Paterson,Sarah J. Haigh,Philip Landon,Qizhen Li,M E Peacock,Hendrik Van Rensburg,Zhuoran Xu +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , a simple in situ treatment forms MnTiO3 while an ex situ support is demonstrated with the benefits of Mn inclusion while controlling activity and inhibiting alcohol selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic and Spectroscopic Studies of Methyl Ester Promoted Methanol Dehydration to Dimethyl Ether on ZSM-5 Zeolite
Zhiqiang Yang,Benjamin J. Dennis-Smither,Zhuoran Xu,Zhen-Hua Zhao,Meiling Guo,Neil Sainty,Guan-hua Hou,Xue-Song Liu,Glenn J. Sunley +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectrograph (NMR) techniques were used to elucidate the promotional mechanism of methyl carboxylate esters on methanol dehydration to DME, using medium pore zeolite H-ZSM-5 (MFI) as the catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aromatic aldehydes as tuneable and ppm level potent promoters for zeolite catalysed methanol dehydration to DME
Glenn J. Sunley,Zhiqiang Yang,Benjamin J. Dennis-Smither,Corneliu Buda,Gregory A. Price,Neil Sainty,Xingzhi Tan,Zhuoran Xu +7 more
TL;DR: Dimethyl ether (DME) is a valuable chemical intermediate and renewable fuel that can be made, via methanol, from many sources of carbon, including carbon dioxide and biomass as discussed by the authors .
