Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous Special Issue, “Exclusive Papers in Environmentally Friendly Catalysis in China”, following its great success.

China has achieved important advancements in heterogeneous catalysis and photocatalysis, including the development of catalytic materials, environmental remediation, and sustainable energy production. This Special Issue welcomes both review and original research articles on aspects of heterogeneous catalysis and photocatalysis, with the emphasis being put on fundamental and applied research related to environmentally friendly catalysis in China. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Atmospheric pollutant treatment;
  • Catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide;
  • Catalytic combustion of methane;
  • Heterogeneous catalysis for VOC elimination;
  • Selective catalytic reduction of NOx;
  • Photocatalytic organics’ degradation;
  • Photocatalytic removal of VOCs;
  • Utilization of carbon dioxide;
  • Hydrogen production from photocatalytic wastewater treatment;
  • Catalysts related to the removal of pollutants;
  • New materials for heterogeneously catalyzed or photocatalytic pollutant removal.

The use of eco-friendly biomass as a resource is an efficient way to address the problems of fossil fuel depletion and climate change. In biomass conversion, versatile γ-valerolactone (GVL) is generally obtained from levulinic acid (LA) hydrogenation via a multimetallic catalyst system. Despite conversion efficiency being enhanced in mild conditions due to metal interactions, maintaining high catalyst stability is still a challenge. In this study, we synthesized a surrounded Co0.52Ni0.48@Al2O3-IE catalyst that exhibited excellent alloying and synergistic interaction between the metal constituents. Under relatively mild reaction conditions, the GVL yield over the catalyst exceeded 99% in LA hydrogenation. The catalyst showed no deactivation in a test of five cycles, displaying superiority in stability, possibly due to reasons of the physical isolation of the shell and the alumina retention on the Co-Ni alloys surface caused by the reversibility of exchange equilibrium. The present work demonstrated that a surrounded structured catalyst fabricated by ion exchange (IE) with active metals physically enclosed can lead to high catalytic activity and superior stability.
