Abstract
The development of efficient catalysts for the direct synthesis of higher alcohols (HA) via CO hydrogenation has remained a prominent research challenge. While modified Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (m-FTS) systems hold great potential, they often retain limited active site density under operating conditions for industrially relevant performance. Aimed at improving existing catalyst architectures, this study investigates the impact of highly dispersed metal oxides of Co-Cu, Cu-Fe, and Co-Fe m-FTS systems and demonstrates the viability of ZrO2 as a general promoter in the direct synthesis of HA from syngas. A volcano-like composition-performance relationship, in which 5-10 mol % ZrO2 resulted in maximal HA productivity, governs all catalyst families. The promotional effect resulted in a 2.5-fold increase in HA productivity for the optimized Cu1Co4@ZrO2-5 catalyst (Cu:Co = 1:4, 5 mol % ZrO2) compared to its ZrO2-free counterpart and placed Co1Fe4@ZrO2-10 among the most productive systems (345 mgHA h-1 gcat-1) reported in this category under comparable operating conditions, with stable performance for at least 300 h. ZrO2 assumes an amorphous and defective nature on the catalysts, leading to enhanced H2 and CO activation, facilitated formation of metallic and carbide phases, and structural stabilization.

Abstract
Laboratory-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and especially X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) offers new opportunities in catalyst characterization and presents not only an alternative, but also a complementary approach to precious beamtime at synchrotron facilities. We successfully designed a laboratory-based setup for performing operando, quasi-simultaneous XANES analysis at multiple K-edges, more specifically, operando XANES of mono-, bi-, and trimetallic CO2 hydrogenation catalysts containing Ni, Fe, and Cu. Detailed operando XANES studies of the multielement solid catalysts revealed metal-dependent differences in the reducibility and re-oxidation behavior and their influence on the catalytic performance in CO2 hydrogenation. The applicability of operando laboratory-based XANES at multiple K-edges paves the way for advanced multielement catalyst characterization complementing detailed studies at synchrotron facilities.

Abstract
Gasification is a process to transform solids, such as agricultural and municipal waste, into gaseous feedstock for making transportation fuels. The so-called coarse solid residue (CSR) that remains after this conversion process is currently discarded as a process solid residue. In the context of transitioning from a linear to a circular society, the feasibility of using the solid process residue from waste gasification as a solid catalyst for light olefin production from CO, CO2 , and H2 mixtures was investigated. This CSR-derived catalyst converted biomass-derived syngas, a H2 -poor mixture of CO, CO2 , H2 , and N2 , into methane (57 %) and C2 -C4 olefins (43 %) at 450 °C and 20 bar. The main active ingredient of CSR was Fe, and it was discovered with operando X-ray diffraction that metallic Fe, present after pre-reduction in H2 , transformed into an Fe carbide phase under reaction conditions. The increased formation of Fe carbides correlated with an increase in CO conversion and olefin selectivity. The presence of alkali elements, such as Na and K, in CSR-derived catalyst increased olefin production as well.

Abstract
Zeolites possessing large specific surface areas, ordered micropores, and adjustable acidity/basicity have emerged as ideal supports to immobilize metal species with small sizes and high dispersities. In recent years, the zeolite-supported metal catalysts have been widely used in diverse catalytic processes, showing excellent activity, superior thermal/hydrothermal stability, and unique shape-selectivity. In this review, a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art achievements in catalytic applications of zeolite-supported metal catalysts are presented for important heterogeneous catalytic processes in the last five years, mainly including 1) the hydrogenation reactions (e.g., CO/CO2 hydrogenation, hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds, and hydrogenation of nitrogenous compounds); 2) dehydrogenation reactions (e.g., alkane dehydrogenation and dehydrogenation of chemical hydrogen storage materials); 3) oxidation reactions (e.g., CO oxidation, methane oxidation, and alkene epoxidation); and 4) other reactions (e.g., hydroisomerization reaction and selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia reaction). Finally, some current limitations and future perspectives on the challenge and opportunity for this subject are pointed out. It is believed that this review will inspire more innovative research on the synthesis and catalysis of zeolite-supported metal catalysts and promote their future developments to meet the emerging demands for practical applications.
