Abstract
As important platform compounds, methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) are vital bridges between the coal chemical, petrochemical and fine chemical industries. At present, the synthesis of methanol/DME has been industrialized, and the production capacity is much larger than the market demand. Therefore, the conversion of methanol/DME into more valuable chemicals is an important and significant topic. The synthesis of high value-added oxygenated chemicals and diesel oil additives from methanol/DME by an oxidation method has attracted substantial attention due to it being green and environmentally friendly and having good atom economy. In this feature article, we have summarized the recent advances in the synthesis of formaldehyde, methyl formate, dimethoxymethane, and polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers, from the selective oxidation of methanol/DME, and further discussed the adsorption and activation of reactant molecules, selective cleavage of C-O, C-H or O-H bonds in methanol/DME molecules and the C-O chain growth in the target products. In the end, major challenges and future prospects are proposed from the viewpoint of catalyst design and application. It is expected that this feature article will provide theoretical guidance for the activation and cleavage of C-O, C-H, or O-H bonds in other small molecules of alcohol/ether as well as low-carbon alkanes, so as to synthesize high value-added chemicals.

Abstract
Methyl formate is a key component for both defossilized industry and mobility. The current industrial production via carbonylation of methanol has various disadvantages such as high requirements on reactant purity and low methanol conversion rates. In addition, there is a great interest in replacing the conventional homogeneous catalyst with a heterogeneous one, among other things to improve the downstream processing. This is why new approaches for methyl formate are sought. This review summarizes promising approaches for methyl formate production using methanol as a reactant.

Abstract
The development of thermally stable, nanometer-sized precious metal-based catalysts remains a daunting challenge. Such materials, especially those based on the use of costly platinum metal, are essential and, to date, non-replaceable for a large number of industrially important catalytic processes. Here we report a well-defined cuboctahedral MgAl2O4 spinel support material that is capable of stabilizing platinum particles in the range of 1-3 nm on its relatively abundant {111} facets during extremely severe aging at 800 °C in air for 1 week. The aged catalysts retain platinum dispersions of 15.9% with catalytic activities for methanol oxidation being ~80% of that of fresh ones, whereas a conventional Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalyst is severely sintered and nearly inactive. We reveal the origin of the markedly superior ability of spinel {111} facets, resulting from strong interactions between spinel surface oxygens and epitaxial platinum {111} facets, inspiring the rational design of anti-sintering supported platinum group catalysts.

Abstract
Pure monoclinic (m) and tetragonal (t) zirconia nanoparticles were readily synthesized from the reaction of inorganic zirconium salts (e.g., hydrated zirconyl nitrate) and urea in water and methanol, respectively, via a facile solvothermal method. The role of the solvents was crucial in the formation of the pure ZrO(2) phases, whereas their purity was essentially insensitive to other variables, including reaction temperature, reactant concentration, pH, and zirconium salts. Water as the solvent led to the transformation of hydrous ZrO(2) precipitates initially formed with tetragonal structures to thermodynamically more stable m-ZrO(2) via the dissolution-precipitation process, whereas methanol favored the removal of water molecules from the precursors via their reaction with urea, consequently maintaining the tetragonal structures. The obtained tetragonal samples were found to possess superior hydrothermal stability compared to those reported previously, which provides the possibility for systematically studying the effects of ZrO(2) phases on many catalytic reactions involving water as a reactant or product. Using these pure m- and t-ZrO(2) phases as supports, dispersed MoO(x) catalysts were synthesized at MoO(x) surface densities of approximately 5.0 Mo/nm(2), which is close to one monolayer of coverage. Characterization by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy confirmed that the pure ZrO(2) phases remained unchanged in the presence of the MoO(x) domains and the MoO(x) domains existed preferentially as 2D polymolybdate structures. The catalysts were subsequently examined for selective methanol oxidation as a test reaction. m-ZrO(2) support led to 2-fold greater oxidation rates than for t-ZrO(2) support, reflecting the higher intrinsic reactivity of the MoO(x) domains on m-ZrO(2). This is consistent with their higher reducibility probed by temperature-programmed reduction with H(2) (H(2) TPR). These observed effects of the ZrO(2) phases provide the basis for designing catalysts with tunable redox properties and reactivity.
