Abstract
Hydrogen (H2) production from coal and biomass gasification was considered a long-term and viable way to solve energy crises and global warming. Tar, generated as a hazardous byproduct, limited its large-scale applications by clogging and corroding gasification equipment. Although catalytic steam reforming technology was used to convert tar into H2, catalyst deactivation restricted its applicability. A novel nanocatalyst was first synthesized by the modified sol-gel method using activated biochar as the support, nickel (Ni) as the active component, and cobalt (Co) as the promoter for converting tar into H2. The results indicated that a high H2 yield of 263.84 g H2/kg TMCs (Tar Model Compounds) and TMC conversion of almost 100% were obtained over 6% Ni-4% Co/char, with more than 30% increase in hydrogen yield compared to traditional catalysts. Moreover, 6% Ni-4% Co/char exhibited excellent resistance to carbon deposition by removing the nucleation sites for graphite formation, forming stable Ni-Co alloy, and promoting the char gasification reaction; resistance to oxidation deactivation due to the high oxygen affinity of Co and reduction of the oxidized nickel by H2 and CO; resistance to sintering deactivation by strengthened interaction between Ni and Co, high specific surface area (920.61 m2/g), and high dispersion (7.3%) of Ni nanoparticles. This work provided a novel nanocatalyst with significant potential for long-term practical applications in the in situ conversion of tar into H2 during steam reforming.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) can accelerate catalyst design by identifying key physicochemical descriptive parameters correlated with the underlying processes triggering, favoring, or hindering the performance. In analogy to genes in biology, these parameters might be called "materials genes" of heterogeneous catalysis. However, widely used AI methods require big data, and only the smallest part of the available data meets the quality requirement for data-efficient AI. Here, we use rigorous experimental procedures, designed to consistently take into account the kinetics of the catalyst active states formation, to measure 55 physicochemical parameters as well as the reactivity of 12 catalysts toward ethane, propane, and n-butane oxidation reactions. These materials are based on vanadium or manganese redox-active elements and present diverse phase compositions, crystallinities, and catalytic behaviors. By applying the sure-independence-screening-and-sparsifying-operator symbolic-regression approach to the consistent data set, we identify nonlinear property-function relationships depending on several key parameters and reflecting the intricate interplay of processes that govern the formation of olefins and oxygenates: local transport, site isolation, surface redox activity, adsorption, and the material dynamical restructuring under reaction conditions. These processes are captured by parameters derived from N2 adsorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and near-ambient-pressure in situ XPS. The data-centric approach indicates the most relevant characterization techniques to be used for catalyst design and provides "rules" on how the catalyst properties may be tuned in order to achieve the desired performance.

Abstract
Light olefins are important feedstocks and platform molecules for the chemical industry. Their synthesis has been a research priority in both academia and industry. There are many different approaches to the synthesis of these compounds, which differ by the choice of raw materials, catalysts and reaction conditions. The goals of this review are to highlight the most recent trends in light olefin synthesis and to perform a comparative analysis of different synthetic routes using several quantitative characteristics: selectivity, productivity, severity of operating conditions, stability, technological maturity and sustainability. Traditionally, on an industrial scale, the cracking of oil fractions has been used to produce light olefins. Methanol-to-olefins, alkane direct or oxidative dehydrogenation technologies have great potential in the short term and have already reached scientific and technological maturities. Major progress should be made in the field of methanol-mediated CO and CO2 direct hydrogenation to light olefins. The electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to light olefins is a very attractive process in the long run due to the low reaction temperature and possible use of sustainable electricity. The application of modern concepts such as electricity-driven process intensification, looping, CO2 management and nanoscale catalyst design should lead in the near future to more environmentally friendly, energy efficient and selective large-scale technologies for light olefin synthesis.

Abstract
Molybdenum carbide (β-Mo2C) supported on carbon spheres was prepared via a carbothermal hydrogen reduction (CHR) method from delaminated nanosheets of molybdenum(vi) oxide (d-MoO3/C). The carburization process was followed by combined in situ XANES/XRD analysis revealing the formation of molybdenum oxycarbide Mo2CxOy as an intermediate phase during the transformation of d-MoO3/C to β-Mo2C/C. It was found that Mo2CxOy could not be completely carburized to β-Mo2C under a He atmosphere at 750 °C, instead a reduction in H2 is required. The β-Mo2C/C obtained showed activity and stability for the dry reforming of methane at 800 °C and 8 bar. In situ XANES/XRD evaluation of the catalyst under DRM reaction conditions combined with high resolution TEM analysis revealed the evolution of β-Mo2C/C to Mo2CxOy/C. Notably, the gradual oxidation of β-Mo2C/C to Mo2CxOy/C correlates directly with the increased activity of the competing reverse water gas shift reaction.
