Abstract
ZSM-5 zeolites with modified acidity and diffusivity are employed as catalysts for the shape-selective alkylation of toluene with ethanol to para-ethyltoluene (p-ET). To avoid pore blocking and loss of active sites caused by traditional methods of enhancing para-selectivity using modifiers, here, we constructed twin intergrowth structured ZSM-5 (Z5-T), achieving modulation of the inherent acidity and diffusivity through interface engineering. The characterization results demonstrate that due to the intergrowth interface, the Z5-T catalyst forms more inherent Lewis acid sites and also renders more sinusoidal channels opened to the surface. Z5-T with an appropriate acidity and enhanced shape-selectivity inhibits side reactions such as isomerization and coke formation, demonstrating improved p-ET selectivity (>90%) and catalytic stability (>200 h) in the alkylation of toluene with ethanol.

Abstract
Alumina (Al2O3) is one of the most used supports in the chemical industry due to its exceptional thermal stability, surface area, and acidic properties. Mesoscopic structured alumina with adequate acidic properties is important in catalysis to enhance the selectivity and conversion of certain reactions and processes. This study introduces a synthetic method based on electrospinning to produce Al2O3 nanofibers (ANFs) with zeolite mordenite (MOR) nanocrystals (hereafter, hybrid ANFs) to tune the textural and surface acidity properties. The hybrid ANFs with electrospinning form a non-woven network with macropores. ANF-HMOR, i.e., ANFs containing protonated mordenite (HMOR), shows the highest total acidity of ca. 276 μmol g-1 as determined with infrared spectroscopy using pyridine as a molecular probe (IR-Py). IR-Py results reveal that Lewis acid sites are prominently present in the hybrid ANFs. Brønsted acid sites are also observed in the hybrid ANFs and are associated with the HMOR presence. The functionality of hybrid ANFs is evaluated during methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (DME). The proof of concept reaction reveals that ANF-HMOR is the more active and selective catalyst with 87% conversion and nearly 100% selectivity to DME at 573 K. The results demonstrate that the textural properties and the acid site type and content can be modulated in hybrid ANF structures, synergistically improving the selectivity and conversion during the methanol dehydration reaction. From a broader perspective, our results promote the utilization of hybrid structural materials as a means to tune chemical reactions selectively.

Abstract
On metal oxide cluster nodes of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), sites not bonded to linkers (e.g., defects and structural vacancies) control reactivity and catalysis. Attention has been focused on isolated, individual sites, but pair sites have been largely overlooked. We now show that the MOF hcp UiO-66, which incorporates dimeric Zr6O8 nodes bridged by μ2-OH groups, is an excellent platform for identifying and controlling adjacent sites consisting of OH groups and Zr4+ sites, which catalyze tert-butyl alcohol dehydration much more rapidly than isolated single sites.

Abstract
The conversion of diethyl ether (DEE) to ethene and ethanol was studied at a gas-solid interface over bulk and supported Brønsted solid acid catalysts based on tungsten Keggin heteropoly acids (HPAs) at 130-250 °C and ambient pressure. The yield of ethene increased with increasing reaction temperature and reached 98% at 220-250 °C (WHSV = 2.2 h-1). The most active HPA catalysts were silica-supported H3PW12O40 and H4SiW12O40 and the bulk heteropoly salt Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40. The HPA catalysts outperformed zeolites HZSM-5 and USY reported elsewhere. A correlation between catalyst activity and catalyst acid strength was established, which indicates that Brønsted acid sites play an important role in DEE elimination over HPA catalysts. The results point to the reaction occurring through the consecutive reaction pathway: DEE → C2H4 + EtOH followed by EtOH → C2H4 + H2O, where ethene is both a primary product of DEE elimination and a secondary product via dehydration of the primary product EtOH. Evidence is provided that DEE elimination over bulk HPA and high-loaded HPA/SiO2 catalysts proceeds via the surface-type mechanism.

Abstract
The ability to predict intercalation energetics from first principles is attractive for identifying candidate materials for energy storage, chemical sensing, and catalysis. In this work, we introduce a computational framework that can be used to predict the thermodynamics of hydrogen intercalation in tungsten trioxide (WO3). Specifically, using density functional theory (DFT), we investigated intercalation energetics as a function of adsorption site and hydrogen stoichiometry. Site-specific acid-base properties determined using DFT were used to develop linear structure screening models that informed a kernel ridge energy prediction model. These regressions provided a series of hydrogen binding energy predictions across stoichiometries ranging from WO3 to H0.625WO3, which were then converted to equilibrium potentials for hydrogen intercalation. Experimental validation using cyclic voltammetry measurements yielded good agreement with the predicted intercalation potentials. This methodology enables fast exploration of a large geometric configuration space and reveals an intuitive physical relationship between acidity, basicity, and the thermodynamics of hydrogen intercalation. Furthermore, the combination of theoretical and experimental results suggests H0.500WO3 as a maximum stable stoichiometry for the bronzes that arises from competition with hydrogen evolution rather than the inability of WO3 to accommodate additional hydrogen. Our experimental results further indicate hydrogen insertion in WO3 is highly irreversible for low H-stoichiometries, which we propose to be a consequence of the semiconductor-to-metal transition that occurs upon initial H-intercalation. Overall, the agreement between theory and experiment suggests that local acid-base characteristics govern hydrogen intercalation in tungsten trioxide, and this insight can aid the accelerated discovery of redox-active metal oxides for catalytic hydrogenations.

Abstract
Two-dimensional hydrogen boride (HB) sheets were recently demonstrated to act as a solid acid catalyst in their hydrogen-deficient state. However, both the active sites and the mechanism of the catalytic process require further elucidation. In this study, we analyzed the conversion of ethanol adsorbed on HB sheets under vacuum during heating using in situ Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy with isotope labelling. Up to 450 K, the FT-IR peak associated with the OH group of the adsorbed ethanol molecule disappeared from the spectrum, which was attributed to a dehydration reaction with a hydrogen atom from the HB sheet, resulting in the formation of an ethyl species. At temperatures above 440 K, the number of BD bonds markedly increased in CD3CH2OH, compared to CH3CD2OH; the temperature dependence of the formation rate of BD bonds was similar to that of the dehydration reaction rate of ethanol on HB sheets under steady-state conditions. The rate-determining step of the dehydration of ethanol on HB was thus ascribed to the dehydrogenation of the methyl group of the ethyl species on the HB sheets, followed by the immediate desorption of ethylene. These results show that the catalytic ethanol dehydration process on HB involves the hydrogen atoms of the HB sheets. The obtained mechanistic insights are expected to promote the practical application of HB sheets as catalysts.

Abstract
Single atom catalysts receive considerable attention due to reducing noble metal utilization and potentially eliminating certain side reactions. Yet, the rational design of highly reactive and stable single atom catalysts is hampered by the current lack of fundamental insights at the single atom limit. Here, density functional theory calculations are performed for a prototype reaction, namely CO oxidation, over different single metal atoms supported on alumina. The governing reaction mechanisms and scaling relations are identified using microkinetic modeling and principal component analysis, respectively. A large change in the oxophilicity of the supported single metal atom leads to changes in the rate-determining step and the catalyst resting state. Multi-response surfaces are introduced and built cheaply using a descriptor-based, closed form kinetic model to describe simultaneously the activity, stability, and oxidation state of single metal atom catalysts. A double peaked volcano in activity is observed due to competing rate-determining steps and catalytic cycles. Reaction orders of reactants provide excellent kinetic signatures of the catalyst state. Importantly, the surface chemistry determines the stability, oxidation, and resting state of the catalyst.

Abstract
Hydrogen boride (HB) or hydrogenated borophene sheets are recently realized two-dimensional materials that are composed of only two light elements, boron and hydrogen. However, their catalytic activity has not been experimentally analyzed. Herein, we report the catalytic activity of HB sheets in ethanol reforming. HB sheets catalyze the conversion of ethanol to ethylene and water above 493 K with high selectivity, independent of the contact time, and with an apparent activation energy of 102.8 ± 5.5 kJ/mol. Hence, we identify that HB sheets act as solid-acid catalysts.

Abstract
Ethers synthesized from biomass-derived compounds have exceptional properties as fuels, lubricants, and specialty chemicals and can serve as replacements for petroleum-derived products. Recent efforts have identified heterogeneous catalysts for the selective synthesis of ethers from alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, furans, esters, olefins, carboxylic acids, and other molecules derived from biomass. This Review highlights the scope of etherification reactions and provides insights into the choice of catalysts and reaction conditions best suited for producing targeted ethers from the available starting materials. First, the properties of ethers for specific applications and the methods by which synthons for ether synthesis can be obtained from biomass are discussed. Then the progress that has been made on the synthesis of ethers via the following methods is summarized: direct etherification of alcohols; reductive etherification of alcohols with aldehydes or ketones; etherification of furanic compounds, esters, and carboxylic acids; and the addition of alcohols to olefins. Next, the mechanisms of these reactions and catalyst properties required to promote them are discussed, with the goal of understanding how reaction conditions can be tuned to optimize catalyst activity and selectivity towards desired ethers. The Review closes by examining the tradeoffs between catalyst selectivity, activity, stability, and reaction conditions required to achieve the most economically and environmentally favorable routes to biomass-derived ethers.

Abstract
The radical scavenging performance and antioxidant activity of γ-alumina nanoparticles towards 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical were investigated by spectroscopic and computational methods. The radical scavenging ability of γ-alumina nanoparticles in the media with different polarity (i.e. i-propanol and n-hexane) was evaluated by measuring the DPPH absorbance in UV-Vis absorption spectra. The structure and morphology of γ-alumina nanoparticles before and after adsorption of DPPH were studied using XRD, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. The adsorption of DPPH free radical on the clean and hydrated γ-alumina (1 1 0) surface was examined by dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) and natural bond orbital (NBO) calculations. Also, time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) was used to predict the absorption spectra. The adsorption was occurred through the interaction of radical nitrogen N and NO2 groups of DPPH with the acidic and basic sites of γ-alumina surface. The high potential for the adsorption of DPPH radical on γ-alumina nanoparticles was investigated. Interaction of DPPH with Brønsted and Lewis acidic sites of γ-alumina was more favored than Brønsted basic sites. The following order for the adsorption of DPPH over the different active sites of γ-alumina was predicted: Brønsted base < Lewis acid < Brønsted acid. These results are of great significance for the environmental application of γ-alumina nanoparticles in order to remove free radicals.

Abstract
Rational design of catalysts for selective conversion of alcohols to olefins is key since product selectivity remains an issue due to competing etherification reactions. Using first principles calculations and chemical rules, we designed novel metal-oxide-protected metal nanoclusters (M13X4O12, with M = Cu, Ag, and Au and X = Al, Ga, and In) exhibiting strong Lewis acid sites on their surface, active for the selective formation of olefins from alcohols. These symmetrical nanocatalysts, due to their curvature, show unfavorable etherification chemistries, while favoring the olefin production. Furthermore, we determined that water removal and regeneration of the nanocatalysts is more feasible compared to the equivalent strong acid sites on solid acids used for alcohol dehydration. Our results demonstrate an exceptional stability of these new nanostructures with the most energetically favorable being Cu-based. Thus, the high selectivity and stability of these in-silico-predicted novel nanoclusters (e.g. Cu13Al4O12) make them attractive catalysts for the selective dehydration of alcohols to olefins.
