Abstract
NiFe-based nanomaterials are extensively studied as one of the promising candidates for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, their practical application is still largely impeded by the unsatisfied activity and poor durability caused by the severe leaching of active species. Herein, a rapid and facile combustion method is developed to synthesize the vertical graphene (VG) supported N-doped carbon modified (NixFe1-x)Se composites (NC@(NixFe1-x)Se/VG). The interconnected heterostructure of obtained materials plays a vital role in boosting the catalytic performance, offering rich active sites and convenient pathways for rapid electron and ion transport. The incorporation of Se into NiFe facilitates the formation of active species via in situ surface reconstruction. According to density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the in situ formation of a Ni0.75Fe0.25Se/Ni0.75Fe0.25OOH layer significantly enhances the catalytic activity of NC@(NixFe1-x)Se/VG. Furthermore, the surface-adsorbed selenoxide species contribute to the stabilization of the catalytic active phase and increase the overall stability. The obtained NC@(NixFe1-x)Se/VG exhibits a low overpotential of 220 mV at 20 mA cm-2 and long-term stability over 300 h. This work offers a novel perspective on the design and fabrication of OER electrocatalysts with high activity and stability.

Abstract
The adsorbate-mediated strong metal-support interaction (A-SMSI) offers a reversible means of altering the selectivity of supported metal catalysts, thereby providing a powerful tool for facile modulation of catalytic performance. However, the fundamental understanding of A-SMSI remains inadequate and methods for tuning A-SMSI are still in their nascent stages, impeding its stabilization under reaction conditions. Here, we report that the initial concentration of oxygen vacancy in oxide supports plays a key role in tuning the A-SMSI between Ru nanoparticles and defected titania (TiO2-x). Based on this new understanding, we demonstrate the in situ formation of A-SMSI under reaction conditions, obviating the typically required CO2-rich pretreatment. The as-formed A-SMSI layer exhibits remarkable stability at various temperatures, enabling excellent activity, selectivity and long-term stability in catalyzing the reverse water gas-shift reaction. This study deepens the understanding of the A-SMSI and the ability to stabilize A-SMSI under reaction conditions represents a key step for practical catalytic applications.

Abstract
Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) serves as a pivotal intentional technique to produce propylene. The stability of PDH catalysts is generally restricted by the readsorption of propylene which can subsequently undergo side reactions for coke formation. Herein, we demonstrate an ultrastable PDH catalyst by encapsulating PtIn clusters within silicalite-1 which serves as an efficient promoter for olefin desorption. The mean lifetime of PtIn@S-1 (S-1, silicalite-1) was calculated as 37317 h with high propylene selectivity of >97% at 580 °C with a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 4.7 h-1. With an ultrahigh WHSV of 1128 h-1, which pushed the catalyst away from the equilibrium conversion to 13.3%, PtIn@S-1 substantially outperformed other reported PDH catalysts in terms of mean lifetime (32058 h), reaction rates (3.42 molpropylene gcat-1 h-1 and 341.90 molpropylene gPt-1 h-1), and total turnover number (14387.30 kgpropylene gcat-1). The developed catalyst is likely to lead the way to scalable PDH applications.

Abstract
Photon upconversion based on triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) is an attractive wavelength conversion with increasing use in organic synthesis in the homogeneous phase; however, this technology has not performed with canonical solid catalysts yet. Herein, a BOPHY dye covalently anchored on silica is successfully used as a sensitizer in a TTA system that efficiently catalyzes Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions. This procedure has enabled the implementation of in-flow reaction conditions for the synthesis of a variety of aromatic compounds, and mechanistic proof has been obtained by means of transient absorption spectroscopy.

Abstract
Hybrid organic/inorganic materials have contributed to solve important challenges in different areas of science. One of the biggest challenges for a more sustainable society is to have active and stable catalysts that enable the transition from fossil fuel to renewable feedstocks, reduce energy consumption and minimize the environmental footprint. Here we synthesize novel hybrid materials where an amorphous oxide coating with embedded organic ligands surrounds metallic nanocrystals. We demonstrate that the hybrid coating is a powerful means to create electrocatalysts stable against structural reconstruction during the CO2 electroreduction. These electrocatalysts consist of copper nanocrystals encapsulated in a hybrid organic/inorganic alumina shell. This shell locks a fraction of the copper surface into a reduction-resistant Cu2+ state, which inhibits those redox processes responsible for the structural reconstruction of copper. The electrocatalyst activity is preserved, which would not be possible with a conventional dense alumina coating. Varying the shell thickness and the coating morphology yields fundamental insights into the stabilization mechanism and emphasizes the importance of the Lewis acidity of the shell in relation to the retention of catalyst structure. The synthetic tunability of the chemistry developed herein opens new avenues for the design of stable electrocatalysts and beyond.

Abstract
As promising delivery systems, smart microcapsules have garnered significant attention owing to their targeted delivery loaded with diverse active materials. By precisely manipulating fluids on the micrometer scale, microfluidic has emerged as a powerful tool for tailoring delivery systems based on potential applications. The desirable characteristics of smart microcapsules are associated with encapsulation capacity, targeted delivery capability, and controlled release of encapsulants. In this review, we briefly describe the principles of droplet-based microfluidics for smart microcapsules. Subsequently, we summarize smart microcapsules as delivery systems for efficient encapsulation and focus on target delivery patterns, including passive targets, active targets, and microfluidics-assisted targets. Additionally, based on release mechanisms, we review controlled release modes adjusted by smart membranes and on/off gates. Finally, we discuss existing challenges and potential implications associated with smart microcapsules.

Abstract
This review addresses the largely overlooked yet critical issue of "dead" metal in heterogeneous metal catalysts. "Dead" metal refers to the fraction of metal in a catalyst that remains inaccessible to reactants, significantly reducing the overall catalyst performance. As a representative example considered in detail here, this challenge is particularly relevant for carbon-supported metal catalysts, extensively employed in research and industrial settings. We explore key factors contributing to the formation of "dead" metal, including the morphology of the support, metal atom intercalation within the support layers, encapsulation of metal nanoparticles, interference by organic molecules during catalyst preparation, and dynamic behavior under microwave irradiation. Notably, the review outlines a series of strategic approaches to mitigate the occurrence of "dead" metal during catalyst preparation, thus boosting the catalyst efficiency. The knowledge gathered is important for enhancing the preparation of catalysts, especially those containing precious metals. Beyond the practical implications for catalyst design, this study introduces a novel perspective for understanding and optimizing the catalyst performance. The insights are expected to broadly impact different scientific disciplines, empowered with heterogeneous catalysis and driving innovation in energy, environmental science, and materials chemistry, among others. Exploring the "dead" metal phenomenon and potential mitigation strategies brings the field closer to the ultimate goal of high-efficiency, low-cost catalysis.

Abstract
The use of Advance Oxidation Process (AOPs) has been extensively examined in order to eradicate organic pollutants. This review assesses the efficacy of photolysis, O3 based (O3/UV, O3/H2O2, O3/H2O2/UV, H2O2/UV, Fenton, Fenton-like, hetero-system) and sonochemical and electro-oxidative AOPs in this regard. The main purpose of this review and some suggestions for the advancement of AOPs is to facilitate the elimination of toxic organic pollutants. Initially proposed for the purification of drinking water in 1980, AOPs have since been employed for various wastewater treatments. AOPs technologies are essentially a process intensification through the use of hybrid methods for wastewater treatment, which generate large amounts of hydroxyl (•OH) and sulfate (SO4·-) radicals, the ultimate oxidants for the remediation of organic pollutants. This review covers the use of AOPs and ozone or UV treatment in combination to create a powerful method of wastewater treatment. This novel approach has been demonstrated to be highly effective, with the acceleration of the oxidation process through Fenton reaction and photocatalytic oxidation technologies. It is clear that Advance Oxidation Process are a helpful for the degradation of organic toxic compounds. Additionally, other processes such as •OH and SO4·- radical-based oxidation may also arise during AOPs treatment and contribute to the reduction of target organic pollutants. This review summarizes the current development of AOPs treatment of wastewater organic pollutants.

Abstract
The composites of transition metal-doped titania and carbon have emerged as promising supports for Pt electrocatalysts in PEM fuel cells. In these multifunctional supports, the oxide component stabilizes the Pt particles, while the dopant provides a co-catalytic function. Among other elements, Sn is a valuable additive. Stong metal-support interaction (SMSI), i.e., the migration of a partially reduced oxide species from the support to the surface of Pt during reductive treatment is a general feature of TiO2-supported Pt catalysts. In order to explore the influence of SMSI on the stability and performance of Pt/Ti0.8Sn0.2O2-C catalysts, the structural and catalytic properties of the as prepared samples measured using XRD, TEM, XPS and electrochemical investigations were compared to those obtained from catalysts reduced in hydrogen at elevated temperatures. According to the observations, the uniform oxide coverage of the carbon backbone facilitated the formation of Pt-oxide-C triple junctions at a high density. The electrocatalytic behavior of the as prepared catalysts was determined by the atomic closeness of Sn to Pt, while even a low temperature reductive treatment resulted in Sn-Pt alloying. The segregation of tin oxide on the surface of the alloy particles, a characteristic material transport process in Sn-Pt alloys after oxygen exposure, contributed to a better stability of the reduced catalysts.

Abstract
To enhance the catalyst performance of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), removing the mass-transfer restriction in the catalysis synthesis is essential. Although the core-shell nanostructures can improve the activity and stability of the catalyst, they can restrict the reactants' diffusion towards the active sites and the transfer of the products from these sites in FTS. Creating an adequate porosity between the core and the outer shell of the catalyst structure can tackle this issue. In this work, the synthesized cobalt-based nano-catalyst is encapsulated with two shells and a middle porous shell. The first shell is a carbon shell at the core of the catalyst derived from ZIF-67, the second one is the outer shell of ceria, and the middle porous shell is formed by removing the sacrificial silica shell through the etching technique. The characterization and performance tests represent significant evidence of the etching treatment's impact on the FTS catalyst performance. Besides, molecular dynamics simulation is also utilized to clarify its effect. The FTS catalytic performance is enhanced more than 2 times with the etched catalyst versus the catalyst without it at 17.5 bar and a (H2/CO) ratio of 1.2. In addition, not only does the etched catalyst with high porosity play the role of a nanoreactor and intensify its catalytic performance, but it also has higher stability.

Abstract
Catalyst deactivation is a complex phenomenon and identifying an appropriate deactivation model is a key effort in the catalytic industry and plays a significant role in catalyst design. Accurate determination of the catalyst deactivation model is essential for optimizing the catalytic process. Different mechanisms of catalyst deactivation by coke and metal deposition lead to different deactivation models for catalyst activity decay. In the rigorous mathematical models of the reactors, the reaction kinetics were coupled with the deactivation kinetic equation to evaluate the product distribution with respect to conversion time. Finally, selective and nonselective deactivation kinetic models were designed to identify catalyst deactivation through the propagation of heterogeneous chemical reactions. Therefore, the present review discusses the catalyst deactivation models designed for CO2 hydrogenation, Fischer-Tropsch, biofuels and fossil fuels, which can facilitate the efforts to better represent the catalyst activities in various catalytic systems.

Abstract
Climate change is becoming increasingly more pronounced every day while the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continues to rise. CO2 reduction to valuable chemicals is an approach that has gathered substantial attention as a means to recycle these gases. Herein, some of the tandem catalysis approaches that can be used to achieve the transformation of CO2 to C-C coupled products are explored, focusing especially on tandem catalytic schemes where there is a big opportunity to improve performance by designing effective catalytic nanoreactors. Recent reviews have highlighted the technical challenges and opportunities for advancing tandem catalysis, especially highlighting the need for elucidating structure-activity relationships and mechanisms of reaction through theoretical and in situ/operando characterization techniques. In this review, the focus is on nanoreactor synthesis strategies as a critical research direction, and discusses these in the context of two main tandem pathways (CO-mediated pathway and Methanol-mediated pathway) to C-C coupled products.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts of supported metals are important for both liquid-phase and gas-phase chemical transformations which underpin the petrochemical sector and manufacture of bulk or fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Conventional supported metal catalysts (SMC) suffer from deactivation resulting from sintering, leaching, coking and so on. Besides the choice of active species (e.g. atoms, clusters, nanoparticles) to maximize catalytic performances, strategies to stabilize active species are imperative for rational design of catalysts, particularly for those catalysts that work under heated and corrosive reaction conditions. The complete encapsulation of metal active species within a matrix (e.g. zeolites, MOFs, carbon, etc.) or core-shell arrangements is popular. However, the use of partial/porous overlayers (PO) to preserve metals, which simultaneously ensures the accessibility of active sites through controlling the size/shape of diffusing reactants and products, has not been systematically reviewed. The present review identifies the key design principles for fabricating supported metal catalysts with partial/porous overlayers (SMCPO) and demonstrates their advantages versus conventional supported metals in catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Nanoparticle aggregation of supported metal catalysts at high temperatures is a serious problem that causes a drop in catalytic performance. This study investigates the protection of metal nanoparticles from sintering by selectively forming nanoscale SiO2 shells on Pd supported on TiO2 by ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. The proton-coupled reduction reaction increases the local pH around Pd nanoparticles, resulting in hydrolysis of tetraethoxyorthosilicate (TEOS) in only the vicinity of the metal. An apparent quantum efficiency of only 0.6% is obtained for the Pd/TiO2 catalyst in H2 evolution from ethanol-containing water under 370 nm excitation light. Therefore, the pH of raw slurry solution should be precisely controlled to that slightly below the threshold value for the TEOS hydrolysis reaction before the photodeposition. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) clearly show that the particle size of the Pd nanoparticles (∼40 nm) with the SiO2 shell (∼20 nm) was almost unchanged by the high-temperature treatment at 900 °C in air, suggesting that the SiO2 shell prevented thermal aggregation of Pd nanoparticles. The Pd/TiO2 without SiO2 shell decoration exhibited a drop in the number of active sites, which was likely due to aggregation of the Pd catalysts. However, the number of active sites on the Pd@SiO2/TiO2 catalyst was maintained even after the catalyst was calcined at 900 °C. Consequently, the Pd@SiO2/TiO2 catalyst maintained its catalytic performance for simulated exhaust gas purification even after treatment at 900 °C. This study presents a methodology to produce sintering-tolerant supported metal nanoparticles using the photocatalytic gas permeable layer fabrication method.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticle (NP) sintering is a prime cause of catalyst degradation, limiting its economic lifetime and viability. To date, sintering phenomena are interrogated either at the bulk scale to probe averaged NP properties or at the level of individual NPs to visualize atomic motion. Yet, "mesoscale" strategies which bridge these worlds can chart NP populations at intermediate length scales but remain elusive due to characterization challenges. Here, a multi-pronged approach is developed to provide complementary information on Pt NP sintering covering multiple length scales. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) and Monte Carlo simulation show that the size evolution of individual NPs depends on the number of coalescence events they undergo during their lifetime. In its turn, the probability of coalescence is strongly dependent on the NP's mesoscale environment, where local population heterogeneities generate NP-rich "hotspots" and NP-free zones during sintering. Surprisingly, advanced in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction shows that not all NPs within the small NP sub-population are equally prone to sintering, depending on their crystallographic orientation on the support surface. The demonstrated approach shows that mesoscale heterogeneities in the NP population drive sintering and mitigation strategies demand their maximal elimination via advanced catalyst synthesis strategies.

Abstract
Chloroanisoles is a class of odorous pollutants commonly identified in drinking water. In the present study, we confined noble metal palladium (Pd) in the micropores of zeolite Y (ie-Pd@Y) using an ion exchange method, and applied it for the catalytic hydrodechlorination removal of chloroanisoles (represented by 2,4,6-trichloroanisole/TCA) in water. Pd supported on zeolite Y surface (im-Pd/Y, prepared by conventional impregnation method) was used as the benchmarking catalyst. The characterization results revealed that ie-Pd@Y had smaller Pd particle size and higher Pdn+/Pd0 ratio than im-Pd/Y. The catalytic hydrodechlorination of TCA followed a concerted dechlorination pathway and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. The ie-Pd@Y catalysts with different Pd loadings exhibit excellent catalytic activities with more than 95% of TCA removed within 30 min, which is far superior to the im-Pd/Y catalysts (27-70%). Moreover, due to the confinement effect of zeolite Y, ie-Pd@Y displayed enhanced catalytic stability as compared with im-Pd/Y. The initial activity of ie-Pd@Y was more than 20 times higher than that of im-Pd/Y after five reaction cycles. Additionally, with the assistance of sieving effect, ie-Pd@Y displayed much stronger capability against the interference from dissolved organic matter than im-Pd/Y. The present results demonstrate that the confined catalysts ie-Pd@Y can be applied in liquid phase catalytic hydrogenation to effectively eliminate halogenated odorants in waters.

Abstract
A series of Mg-Zr composite oxide catalysts prepared by the hydrothermal process were used for the transesterification of glycerol (GL) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) to produce glycerol carbonate (GC). The effects of the preparation method (co-precipitation, hydrothermal process) and Mg/Zr ratio on the catalytic performance were systematically investigated, and the deactivation of the catalyst was also explored. The Mg-Zr composite oxide catalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM, TPD, N2 adsorption-desorption, and XPS. The characterization results showed that compared with the co-precipitation process, the catalyst prepared by the hydrothermal process has a larger specific surface area, smaller grain size, and higher dispersion. Mg1Zr2-HT catalyst calcined at 600 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere exhibited the best catalytic performance. Under the conditions of reaction time of 90 min, reaction temperature of 90 °C, catalyst dosage of 3 wt% of GL, and GL/DMC molar ratio of 1/5, the GL conversion was 99% with 96.1% GC selectivity, and the yield of GC was 74.5% when it was reused for the fourth time.

Abstract
Liquid metals (LMs) have been used in electrochemistry since the 19th century, but it is only recently that they have emerged as electrocatalysts with unique properties, such as inherent resistance to coke poisoning, which derives from the dynamic nature of their surface. The use of LM nanoparticles (NPs) as electrocatalysts is highly desirable to enhance any surface-related phenomena. However, LM NPs are expected to rapidly coalesce, similarly to liquid drops, which makes their implementation in electrocatalysis hard to envision. Herein, we demonstrate that liquid Ga NPs (18 nm, 26 nm, 39 nm) drive the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) while remaining well-separated from each other. CO is generated with a maximum faradaic efficiency of around 30% at -0.7 VRHE, which is similar to that of bulk Ga. The combination of electrochemical, microscopic, and spectroscopic techniques, including operando X-ray absorption, indicates that the native oxide skin of the Ga NPs is still present during CO2RR and provides a barrier to coalescence during operation. This discovery provides an avenue for future development of Ga-based LM NPs as a new class of electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Nanostructured materials with high surface area and low coordinated atoms present distinct intrinsic properties from their bulk counterparts. However, nanomaterials' nucleation/growth mechanism during the synthesis process and the changes of the nanomaterials in the working state are still not thoroughly studied. As two indispensable methods, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) provides nanomaterials' electronic structure and coordination environment, while small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) offers structural properties and morphology information. A combination of in situ/operando XAS and SAXS provides high temporal and spatial resolution to monitor the evolution of nanomaterials. This review gives a brief introduction to in situ/operando SAXS/XAS cells. In addition, the application of in situ/operando XAS and SAXS in preparing nanomaterials and studying changes of working nanomaterials are summarized.

Abstract
Qualitatively identifying the dominant catalytic site for each step of a semi-continuous reaction and semi-quantitatively correlating such different sites to the catalytic performance is of great significance toward the integration of multiple well-optimized sites on a heterogeneous catalyst. Herein, a series of structurally defined TiOx-based catalysts were synthesized to provide a feasible approach to investigate the aforementioned issues using the semi-continuous oxidation of glycerol as a model reaction. Detailed investigations have verified the simultaneous presence of two kinds of Pt active sites: 1) Negatively charged Pt bound to the oxygen vacancies of modified TiOx in the form of Ptδ--Ov-Ti3+ sites and 2) metallic Pt (Pt0 site) located away from the interface. Meanwhile, the proportion of surficial and interfacial sites varies over this series of catalysts. Combined in situ FTIR experiments revealed that the reaction network was well-tuned via a site cooperation mechanism: The surficial Pt0 sites dissociatively adsorb the OH group of glycerol with a monodentate bonding geometry and the Ptδ--Ov-Ti3+ sites dissociate the C=O bond of the aldehyde group in a bidentate form. Furthermore, CO-FTIR spectroscopy confirmed a correlation between the reaction rate/product selectivity and the fraction of surficial/interfacial sites. A rational proportion of surficial and interfacial sites is key to enabling a high yield of glyceric acid. The most active catalyst with 32% surface sites and 68% interfacial sites exhibited 90.0% glycerol conversion and 68.5% GLYA selectivity. These findings provide a deeper understanding of the structure-activity relationships using qualitative identification and semi-quantitative analysis.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient and stable catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are crucial in the field of environmental remediation. In this work, a facile encapsulated-precursor pyrolysis strategy was reported to prepare a competent PMS-activation catalyst, in which uniformly distributed Fe3O4 nanoparticles were firmly anchored on porous boron nitride (BN) nanosheets by N-doped carbon shell (NC layer). Taking advantage of strong metal-support interaction, the as-synthesized catalyst (BFA-500) could efficiently activate PMS to achieve 100% removal of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) in 6 min, and the corresponding turnover frequency (TOF) value was 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than that of the benchmark homogeneous (Fe2+) and nanoparticle (Fe0 and Fe3O4) catalysts. Moreover, the well protected encapsulated structure of BFA-500 ensured the remarkable stability that could effectively resist the interference of complex water environment, including initial pH value, various inorganic ions and actual water, and its catalytic activity remained almost unchanged in 5 use-regeneration cycles. More importantly, the generation of O2•- and 1O2 radicals for the 4-CP removal in BFA-500/PMS system was ascribed to Fe3O4 boosted C-N sites containing pyridinic N, where electrons transferred from the embedded Fe3O4 nanoparticles to C-N sites to secure the PMS dissociation into reactive radicals. Overall, this work provided a promising way to design desired PMS-activation catalyst toward wastewater purification.

Abstract
A critical review of different prominent nanotechnologies adapted to catalysis is provided, with focus on how they contribute to the improvement of selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Ways to modify catalytic sites range from the use of the reversible or irreversible adsorption of molecular modifiers to the immobilization or tethering of homogeneous catalysts and the development of well-defined catalytic sites on solid surfaces. The latter covers methods for the dispersion of single-atom sites within solid supports as well as the use of complex nanostructures, and it includes the post-modification of materials via processes such as silylation and atomic layer deposition. All these methodologies exhibit both advantages and limitations, but all offer new avenues for the design of catalysts for specific applications. Because of the high cost of most nanotechnologies and the fact that the resulting materials may exhibit limited thermal or chemical stability, they may be best aimed at improving the selective synthesis of high value-added chemicals, to be incorporated in organic synthesis schemes, but other applications are being explored as well to address problems in energy production, for instance, and to design greener chemical processes. The details of each of these approaches are discussed, and representative examples are provided. We conclude with some general remarks on the future of this field.

Abstract
Colloidal metal nanocrystals with uniform sizes, shapes, compositions, and architectures are ideal building blocks for constructing heterogeneous catalysts with well-defined characteristics toward the investigation of accurate structure-property relationships and better understanding of catalytic mechanism. However, their applications in high-temperature heterogeneous catalysis are often restricted by the difficulty in maintaining the high metal dispersity and easy accessibility to active sites under harsh operating conditions. Here, a partial-oxide-coating strategy is proposed to stabilize metal nanocrystals against sintering and meanwhile enable an effective exposure of active sites. As a proof-of-concept, controlled partial silica coating of colloidally prepared Pd0.82 Ni0.18 nanocrystals with the size of 8 nm is demonstrated. This partially coated catalyst exhibits excellent activity, selectivity, and stability, outperforming its counterparts with fully coated and supported structures, in reverse water gas shift (RWGS) catalysis particularly at high operating temperatures. This study opens a new avenue for the exploration of colloidal metal nanocrystals in high-temperature heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Encapsulated nanomaterials, such as polymer-coated nanoemulsions, have highly tunable properties leading to versatile applications. A current lack of understanding of the fundamentals governing the choice of "capsule" materials (polyelectrolyte + surfactant) and its ensuing performance effectively precludes their widespread use. Computational methods can start to redress this by discovering molecule-scale attributes that significantly control the design of capsule materials tuned to fit desired properties. We use molecular dynamics (MD) to carry out the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of six unique polyelectrolyte bilayer systems at a surfactant-mediated interface, modeling early-stage capsule synthesis. Monolayer thickness is related to layer density and polyelectrolyte/surfactant interaction energy through polyelectrolyte molecular weight and radius of gyration, respectively, yielding a simple relationship between absorption kinetics and layer structure. For the second monolayer, faster absorption kinetics are observed for pairings of polyelectrolytes with similarly sized functional groups. Surfactants with a more delocalized charge on the head-group catalyze the build-up of ions at the interface, resulting in faster absorption kinetics and greater confinement of the encapsulated material but leading to thicker, less uniform bilayers. These relationships between capsule building block molecules and nanomaterial capsule properties provide a foundation for property prediction and rational design of optimized multi-functional capsule materials.

Effect of the reductive treatment on the state and electrocatalytic behavior of Pt in catalysts supported on Ti0.8Mo0.2O2-C composite. REACTION KINETICS MECHANISMS AND CATALYSIS 2021.

Abstract
AbstractTi(1-x)MoxO2-carbon composites are promising new supports for Pt-based electrocatalysts in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells offering exciting catalytic properties and enhanced stability against electrocorrosion. Pt and the mixed oxide form a couple liable for strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) phenomenon, generally manifesting itself in decoration of the metal particles by ultrathin layers of the support material upon annealing under reductive conditions. The aim of this work is to evaluate the SMSI phenomenon as a potential strategy for tailoring the properties of the electrocatalyst. A 20 wt% Pt/50 wt% Ti0.8Mo0.2O2-50 wt% C electrocatalyst prepared on Black Pearls 2000 carbon functionalized with HNO3 and glucose was reduced at 250 °C in H2 in order to induce SMSI. The electrocatalytic properties and the stability of the reduced and the original catalysts were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry and COads stripping voltammetry. Structural investigations as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were performed in order to obtain information about the details of the interaction between the oxide and the Pt particles. The electrochemical experiments pointed out a small loss of the electrochemically active surface area of Pt in the reduced catalyst along with enhanced stability with respect to the original one, while structural studies suggested only a minimal decrease of the Pt dispersion. At the same time, hydrogen exposure experiments combined with XPS demonstrated the presence of Mo species directly adsorbed on the Pt surface. Thus, the properties of the reduced catalyst can be traced to decoration of the surface of Pt by Mo-containing species.

Abstract
Presently, conventional technologies in water treatment are not efficient enough to completely mineralize refractory water contaminants. In this context, the implementation of catalytic processes could be an alternative. Despite the advantages provided in terms of kinetics of transformation, selectivity, and energy saving, numerous attempts have not yet led to implementation at an industrial scale. This review examines investigations at different scales for which controversies and limitations must be solved to bridge the gap between fundamentals and practical developments. Particular attention has been paid to the development of solar-driven catalytic technologies and some other emerging processes, such as microwave assisted catalysis, plasma-catalytic processes, or biocatalytic remediation, taking into account their specific advantages and the drawbacks. Challenges for which a better understanding related to the complexity of the systems and the coexistence of various solid-liquid-gas interfaces have been identified.

Abstract
Designing a stable and selective catalyst with high H2 utilisation is of pivotal importance for the direct gas-phase epoxidation of propylene. This work describes a facile one-pot methodology to synthesise ligand-stabilised sub-nanometre gold clusters immobilised onto a zeolitic support (TS-1) to engineer a stable Au/TS-1 catalyst. A non-thermal O2 plasma technique is used for the quick removal of ligands with limited increase in particle size. Compared to untreated Au/TS-1 catalysts prepared using the deposition precipitation method, the synthesised catalyst exhibits improved catalytic performance, including 10 times longer lifetime (>20 days), increased PO selectivity and hydrogen efficiency in direct gas phase epoxidation. The structure-stability relationship of the catalyst is illustrated using multiple characterisation techniques, such as XPS, 31 P MAS NMR, DR-UV/VIS, HRTEM and TGA. It is hypothesised that the ligands play a guardian role in stabilising the Au particle size, which is vital in this reaction. This strategy is a promising approach towards designing a more stable heterogeneous catalyst.

Abstract
Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is one of the most promising techniques to produce propylene. Industrial Pt-based catalysts often suffer from short-time stability under high temperature due to serious sintering and coke deposition via undesired side reactions. Detailed reaction mechanism on the surface of Pt-based nanoparticle has been well studied, while the subsurface effect remains mostly unstudied. Herein, supported PtGa nanoparticles with different surface and subsurface composition was evidenced by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EAXFS) spectra and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Theoretical simulation demonstrated subsurface regulation would increase the electron density of surface Pt and thus weaken propylene adsorption. Propylene selectivity on the PtGa-subsurface nanoparticles was up to 98% at 600 °C while that on the Pt-subsurface nanoparticles was only 95%. Furthermore, rational designed PtGa alloy nanoparticles were encapsulated in MFI zeolite to inhibit sintering and coke deposition for enhanced catalytic stability.

Abstract
Cu-Al spinel oxide is a highly active catalyst for CO2 conversion to CO. However, it suffers from low surface area. By depositing a silica layer, we protected the catalyst surface and preserved the Cu2+ ions during the calcination process. These ions form well-dispersed Cu sites which participate in the reaction.
