Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Achievements in modern materials science have produced new classes of advanced materials. Due to their unique properties, such materials attract great attention in various fields of application. The present Special Issue is focused on two of these application areas, heterogeneous catalysis and adsorption. In fact, structure–activity relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials and catalytically and adsorption-mediated transformations of materials are subjects of intense research. Attention is payed in particular to physicochemical experiments, molecular design, simulations of materials and their interactions with adsorptive and reaction media.

Topics of interest of the Special Issue “Advanced Materials in Catalysis and Adsorption” include functional materials such as modified nanostructured oxides, porous and sponge-like alloys, electrides and electron-conductive materials, catalytically derived materials, carbon nanostructured materials, carbon–metal hybrids, materials with a hierarchical porous structure, 2D and 3D self-assembled systems, zeolites (zeotypes), ordered mesoporous materials, alumoposphates, metal-organic and covalent organic frameworks, and other ordered materials of prospective use in catalysis and adsorption.

We kindly invite you to submit a manuscript(s) for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Dr. Ilya V. Mishakov

The aim of this study was the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic application of new hierarchical materials modified with tantalum and vanadium ions. These materials exhibit secondary porosity, thus allowing the reactant molecules to access the active sites of the material while maintaining the acidity and crystallinity of the zeolites. Based on the results, these systems were found to be highly active and selective in the oxidation of cyclohexene. The performance of the catalysts was compared in oxidation processes carried out by conventional and microwave-assisted methods. Microwave-assisted experiments showed that in the presence of a hierarchical FAU zeolite containing Ta, long reaction times could be shortened with increased activity and selectivity under the same residual experimental conditions.

Pd/Al2O3 catalyst of the “crust” type with Pd loading of 0.03 wt.% was prepared by the deposition of 2 nm Pd particles on the outer surface of the alumina support using laser electrodispersion (LED). This technique differs from a standard laser ablation into a liquid in that the formation of monodisperse nanoparticles occurs in the laser torch plasma in a vacuum. As is found, the LED-prepared catalyst surpasses Pd-containing three-way catalysts, obtained by conventional chemical synthesis, in activity and stability in CO oxidation under prompt thermal aging conditions. Thus, the LED-prepared Pd/Al2O3 catalyst showed the best thermal stability up to 1000 °C. The present research is focused on the study of the high-temperature evolution of the Pd/Al2O3 catalyst in two reaction mixtures by a set of physicochemical methods (transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy). In order to follow the dispersion of the Pd nanoparticles during the thermal aging procedure, the testing reaction of ethane hydrogenolysis was also applied. The possible reasons for the high stability of LED-prepared catalysts are suggested. Full article

The advanced approach for the preparation of the NH4 form of highly crystalline LSX zeolite under gentle drying conditions (40 °C, membrane pump dynamic vacuum) is discussed. Decationization of this form at moderate temperatures led to the formation of Brønsted acid sites (BASs), whose concentration and strength were characterized by IR spectroscopy. It was found that a maximum concentration of three BASs per unit cell can be achieved at 200 °C prior to the initiation of zeolite structure degradation. The proton affinity of BASs is unusual, and aspires 1240 kJ/mol, which is significantly higher compared to faujasites with higher moduli. The increase in temperature of the heat treatment (up to 300 °C) resulted in thermal decomposition of BASs and the manifestation of amorphous phase with corresponding Lewis acid sites (LASs) as well as terminal Si–OH groups. Both the destruction of BASs and formation of the LAS-containing amorphous phase are the key reasons for the significant decrease in the adsorption capacity in the micropore region revealed for the sample decationized at 300 °C.
