Abstract
Hydrogenolysis via targeted depolymerization of C–O linkages is a techno-economic beneficial process for converting lignin into highly valuable chemicals and clean fuels. In this work, a macroporous silicalite-1 (S-1) array-supported Ru-Ni metallic phosphide composite (Ru-Ni12P5/S-15) was prepared as a catalyst and hydrogenolysis activity under relative mild conditions was investigated using a series of compounds containing ether linkages as lignin-related model compounds. The Lewis acid sites originating from the unreduced Ru species and the macroporous geometry of S-1 significantly influenced hydrogenolysis activity and product selectivity. Analysis of the mechanism demonstrated that both the aryl ether and aliphatic ether linkages were directly hydrogenated over Ru-Ni12P5/S-15. 2D-HSQC-NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that the ether linkages of lignin were efficiently cleaved by Ru-Ni12P5/S-15. Furthermore, the obtained liquid hydrogenolysis products are high value-added chemicals used for pharmaceutical production and can be facilely tuned via the reaction conditions.

Abstract
Efficient depolymerization of C–O linkages is essential for converting lignin into fuels and higher value-added chemicals. In this work, CoRuP/SiO2, an amorphous Ru-Co phosphide composite, was fabricated for the efficient hydrogenolysis of ether linkages. The 4–O–5 and α–O–4 linkages containing lignin-related compounds, such as diphenyl ether, benzyl phenyl ether, 3-methyl diphenyl ether, and dibenzyl ether, are selected as representatives of linkages in lignin. Under mild conditions, Ru-containing metallic phosphides have high-performance for the catalytic depolymerization of C–O linkages. Compared with other catalysts, CoRuP/SiO2 shows an outstanding selectivity for benzene and excellent efficiency in depolymerizing diphenyl ethers, yielding only a small amount of by-products. Furthermore, the total acidity shows a linear relationship with the hydrogenolysis reactivity in cleaving aromatic ether bonds. The mechanisms for the catalytic hydrogenolysis of 4–O–5 and α–O–4 bonds over CoRuP/SiO2 are proposed. Moreover, two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis demonstrates that CoRuP/SiO2 could effectively depolymerize C–O bonds of lignin. These dominant hydrogenolysis products from lignin have excellent potential in the production of high value-added drugs or pharmaceutical intermediates. The hydrogenolysis of lignin can be a highly efficient alternative to the existing method of lignin utilization.

Abstract
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with multiple elements in near-equiatomic proportions hold great promise in heterogeneous catalysis because of their exceptional physicochemical properties governed by synergy. Herein, we prepared PtPdCoCuNi HEA nanoparticles via a one-step colloid-based route and tested their catalytic performance for nitrobenzene hydrogenation to aniline. The SiO2 supported PtPdCoCuNi displays 93.9% yield of aniline at 80 °C, which is 2.11 times that of PtPd/SiO2. Even at room temperature, a 47.4% yield of aniline is attained with the PtPdCoCuNi/SiO2 catalyst. DRIFTS experiments indicate formation of isolated Pt and Pd sites after alloying the transition metals and evidence a stronger interaction between the HEA catalyst and nitrobenzene. Both XPS data and DFT calculations disclose charge transfer to Pt and Pd species, which eventually enhance the interaction between nitrobenzene and the isolated metal sites and the hydrogenation activity as well. The experimental and theoretical results shed light on mechanistic understanding of the unique catalytic performance of the HEA nanocatalyst and pave a new avenue to realize the high catalytic performance of nitrobenzene hydrogenation over well-isolated noble metal sites with specific geometries. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with multiple elements in near-equiatomic proportions hold great promise in heterogeneous catalysis because of their exceptional physicochemical properties governed by synergy.![]()

Abstract
Phenol is considered as an important platform molecule for synthesizing value-added chemical intermediates and products. To date, various strategies for phenol transformation have been developed, and among them, selective hydrogenation of phenol toward cyclohexanone (K), cyclohexanol (A) or the mixture KA oil has been attracted great interest because they are both the key raw materials for the synthesis of nylon 6 and 66, as well as many other chemical products, including polyamides. However, until now it is still challengeable to realize the industrilized application of phenol hydrogenation toward KA oils. To better understand the selective hydrogenation of phenol and fabricate the enabled nanocatalysts, it is necessary to summarize the recent progress on selective hydrogenation of phenol with different catalysts. In this review, we first summarize the selective hydrogenation of phenol toward cyclohexanone or cyclohexanol by different nanocatalysts, and simultaneously discuss the relationship among the active components, type of supports and their performances. Then, the possible reaction mechanism of phenol hydrogenation with the typical metal nanocatalysts is summarized. Subsequently, the possible ways for scale-up hydrogenation of phenol are discussed. Finally, the potential challenges and future developments of metal nanocatalysts for the selective hydrogenation of phenol are proposed.

Abstract
Although transition metal phosphides are well studied as electrocatalysts and hydrotreating catalysts, the application of metal phosphides in organic synthesis is rare, and cooperative catalysis between metal phosphides and supports remains unexplored. Herein, we report that a cerium dioxide-supported nickel phosphide nanoalloy (nano-Ni2P/CeO2) efficiently promoted the C-3 alkylation of oxindoles with alcohols without any additives through the borrowing hydrogen methodology. Oxindoles were alkylated with various alcohols to provide the corresponding C-3 alkylated oxindoles in high yields. This is the first catalytic system for the C-3 alkylation of oxindoles with alcohols using a non-precious metal-based heterogeneous catalyst. The catalytic activity of nano-Ni2P/CeO2 was comparable to that reported for precious metal-based catalysts. Moreover, nano-Ni2P/CeO2 was easily recoverable and reusable without any significant loss of activity. Control experiments revealed that the Ni2P nanoalloy and the CeO2 support functioned cooperatively, leading to a high catalytic performance.

Abstract
The design of highly active, Earth-abundant and stable electrocatalysts is important for efficient water splitting. In this work, we report the fabrication of RuP and Ru2P nanoparticles supported on ordered macroporous N-doped carbon hollow spheres (RuP/H-NC and Ru2P/H-NC) through a facile and scalable space-confined pyrolysis process. The RuP/H-NC catalyst exhibits Pt-like activity in alkaline electrolyte, by means of the macroporous structure with a larger specific area and more exposed active sites, as well as the synergistic effect between the RuP nanoparticles and N-doped carbon. Specifically, the RuP/H-NC catalyst yields superior hydrogen evolution reaction activity in terms of low overpotential of 19 mV in 1 M KOH to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and excellent durability, outperforming Ru2P/H-NC and most of the reported non-Pt catalysts. Further density function theory calculation reveals that RuP is more intrinsically active with favorable hydrogen adsorption Gibbs free energy than that of Ru2P.
