Abstract
The efficient separation and adsorption of critical gases are, more than ever, a major focus point in important energy processes, such as CH4 enrichment of biogas or natural gas, CO2 separation and capture, and H2 purification and storage. Thanks to its physicochemical properties, cation-exchanged chabazite is a potent zeolite for such applications. Previous computational screening investigations have mostly examined chabazites exchanged with monovalent cations. Therefore, in this contribution, periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations in combination with dispersion corrections have been used for a systematic screening of divalent cation exchanged chabazite zeolites. The work focuses on cheap and readily available divalent cations, Ca(II), Mg(II), and Zn(II), Fe(II), Sn(II), and Cu(II) and investigates the effect of the cation nature and location within the framework on the adsorption selectivity of chabazite for specific gas separations, namely, CO2/CH4, N2/CH4, and N2/H2. All the cationic adsorption sites were explored to describe the diversity of sites in a typical experimental chabazite with a Si/Al ratio close to 2 or 3. The results revealed that Mg-CHA is the most promising cation for the selective adsorption of CO2. These predictions were further supported by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations performed at 300 K, which demonstrated that the presence of CH4 has a negligible impact on the adsorption of CO2 on Mg-CHA. Ca(II) was found to be the most favorable cation for the selective adsorption of H2 and CO2. Finally, none of the investigated cations were suitable for the preferential capture of N2 and H2 in the purification of CH4 rich mixtures. These findings provide valuable insights into the factors influencing the adsorption behavior of N2, H2, CH4, and CO2 and highlight the crucial role played by theoretical calculations and simulations for the optimal design of efficient adsorbents.

Abstract
Ammonia is an essential chemical for agriculture and industry. To date, NH3 is mainly supplied by the traditional Haber-Bosch process, which is operated under high-temperature and high-pressure in a centralized way. To achieve ammonia production in an environmentally benign way, electrochemical NH3 synthesis under ambient conditions has become the frontier of energy and chemical conversion schemes, as it can be powered by renewable energy and operates in a decentralized way. The recent progress on developing different strategies for NH3 production, including 1) classic NH3 synthesis pathways over nanomaterials; 2) the Mars-van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism over metal nitrides (MNx ); 3) reducing the nitrate into NH3 over Cu-based nanomaterial; and 4) metal-N2 battery release of NH3 from Lix M. Moreover, the most recent advances in engineering strategies for developing highly active materials and the design of the reaction systems for NH3 synthesis are covered.

Zeolite Y is one of the earliest known and most widely used synthetic zeolites. Many experimental investigations verify the valuable ion exchange capability of this zeolite. In this study, we assessed the effects of ion exchange on its vibrational spectra. We applied classical lattice dynamics methods for IR and Raman intensity calculations. Computed spectra of optimized zeolite Y structures with different cations were compared with experimental data. The spectra obtained in this study are in agreement with previous experimental and computational studies on zeolites from the faujasite group.

Abstract
The potential of the superalkali cation Li3+ for capturing N2 and its behavior in gaseous nitrogen have been theoretically studied at the MP2/6-311+G(d) level. The evolution of structures and stability of the Li3+(N2)n (n = 1-7) complexes shows that the N2 molecules tend to bind to different vertices of the Li3+ core, and that Li3+ might have the capacity to capture up to twelve nitrogen molecules in the first coordination shell. Based on natural population and molecular orbital analyses, Li3+ keeps its superatom identity in the lowest-lying Li3+(N2)n (n = 1-4) complexes. The change in the Gibbs free energies of possible fragmentation channels also indicates the thermodynamic stability of Li3+ in the (N2)n clusters when n ≤ 4. Different from the case of Li3+(H2O)n, where the electrostatic interaction is dominant, the electrostatic and polarization components are found to make nearly equal contributions to Li3+(N2)n complex formation. In addition, it can be concluded that the superalkali cation Li3+ surpasses heavy alkali metal cations in capturing N2 molecules, since it has a larger binding energy with N2 than Na+ and K+ ions.

Abstract
Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) over nonprecious-metal and single-atom catalysts has received increasing attention as a sustainable strategy to synthesize ammonia. However, the atomic-scale regulation of such active sites for NRR catalysis remains challenging because of the large distance between them, which significantly weakens their cooperation. Herein, the utilization of regular surface cavities with unique microenvironment on graphitic carbon nitride as "subnano reactors" to precisely confine multiple Fe and Cu atoms for NRR electrocatalysis is reported. The synergy of Fe and Cu atoms in such confined subnano space provides significantly enhanced NRR performance, with nearly doubles ammonia yield and 54%-increased Faradic efficiency up to 34%, comparing with the single-metal counterparts. First principle simulation reveals this synergistic effect originates from the unique Fe-Cu coordination, which effectively modifies the N2 absorption, improves electron transfer, and offers extra redox couples for NRR. This work thus provides new strategies of manipulating catalysts active centers at the sub-nanometer scale.

Abstract
Ammonia synthesis consumes 3 to 5% of the world's natural gas, making it a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Strategies for synthesizing ammonia that are not dependent on the energy-intensive and methane-based Haber-Bosch process are critically important for reducing global energy consumption and minimizing climate change. Motivated by a need to investigate novel nitrogen fixation mechanisms, we herein describe a highly textured physical catalyst, composed of N-doped carbon nanospikes, that electrochemically reduces dissolved N2 gas to ammonia in an aqueous electrolyte under ambient conditions. The Faradaic efficiency (FE) achieves 11.56 ± 0.85% at -1.19 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode, and the maximum production rate is 97.18 ± 7.13 μg hour-1 cm-2. The catalyst contains no noble or rare metals but rather has a surface composed of sharp spikes, which concentrates the electric field at the tips, thereby promoting the electroreduction of dissolved N2 molecules near the electrode. The choice of electrolyte is also critically important because the reaction rate is dependent on the counterion type, suggesting a role in enhancing the electric field at the sharp spikes and increasing N2 concentration within the Stern layer. The energy efficiency of the reaction is estimated to be 5.25% at the current FE of 11.56%.

Abstract
The efficiency of zeolite X nanocrystals (FAU-type framework structure) containing different extra-framework cations (Li(+), Na(+), K(+), and Ca(2+)) in slowing the thermal oxidation of palm oil is reported. The oxidation study of palm oil is conducted in the presence of zeolite nanocrystals (0.5 wt %) at 150 °C. Several characterization techniques such as visual analysis, colorimetry, rheometry, total acid number (TAN), FT-IR spectroscopy, (1)H NMR spectroscopy, and Karl Fischer analyses are applied to follow the oxidative evolution of the oil. It was found that zeolite nanocrystals decelerate the oxidation of palm oil through stabilization of hydroperoxides, which are the primary oxidation product, and concurrently via adsorption of the secondary oxidation products (alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters). In addition to the experimental results, periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to elucidate further the oxidation process of the palm oil in the presence of zeolite nanocrystals. The DFT calculations show that the metal complexes formed with peroxides are more stable than the complexes with alkenes with the same ions. The peroxides captured in the zeolite X nanocrystals consequently decelerate further oxidation toward formation of acids. Unlike the monovalent alkali metal cations in the zeolite X nanocrystals (K(+), Na(+), and Li(+)), Ca(2+) reduced the acidity of the oil by neutralizing the acidic carboxylate compounds to COO(-)(Ca(2+))1/2 species.

Abstract
The behavior of O(2) molecule in models of acid aluminosilicate sites on any kind of material was investigated using reliable QM ab initio calculations. The triplet-singlet energy gap of isolated O(2) was calculated at confident levels of theory with different basis sets as a reference. Models of aluminosilicate active sites interacting with oxygen in their singlet and triplet electronic states were considered for two kinds of O(2) arrangements. Geometry optimizations were performed on both non-corrected and corrected BSSE potential energy surfaces, realizing that good modeling of heavy atom-hydrogen interactions is sensitive to BSSE corrections during these processes. Energies were further evaluated at higher level of theory to test tendencies. Singlet oxygen appears more attractive to active aluminosilicate sites than those calculated with triplet oxygen, indicating a source of oxidative efficiency for designed nanostructures containing such molecular residues. It was clearly seen that aluminosilicate groups, appearing ubiquitously in several materials, could reduce the O(2) triplet-singlets energy gap by at least 10 kJ/mol. Some elegant features of oxygen interactions with such sites were further analyzed by means of the atoms in molecules (AIM) theory.
