Abstract
Polyurethane (PU) is an indispensable part of people's lives. With the development of polyurethane, the disposal of polyurethane waste has become a significant issue around the world. Conventional degradation catalysts have poor dispersion and low degradation efficiency when used in the process of solid degradation into liquid. Therefore, this paper innovatively adopts self-made core-shell nanoscale titanium catalysis, traditional alkali metal catalyst (KOH), and polyol to carry out the glycolysis of waste polyurethane (PU) pipeline foam. The homogenized nanoscale titanium catalyst coated with alcohol gel has an obvious core-shell structure. The alcohol gel not only protects the catalyst but also dissolves with the alcoholysis agent in the process of glycolysis and disperses more evenly into the alcoholysis agent to avoid the phenomenon of nanocatalyst agglomeration, so as to facilitate catalytic cracking without reducing catalyst activity. In this study, investigated and compared the production of renewable polyurethane foam via a one-step method based on use of a homogeneous core-shell nanostructured titanium catalyst vs. a traditional alkaline catalyst in terms of the properties of regenerated polyether polyols as well as of the foams produced from these polyols. The physicochemical properties of regenerated polyether polyols that were analyzed included viscosity, hydroxyl value, and average molecular weight. The regenerated polyurethane foams were characterized based on water absorption, TG, SEM, and thermal conductivity analyses. The results show that, when the addition of homogeneous titanium catalyst was T2 0.050 wt.%, the viscosity of regenerated polyether polyols was the lowest, at 5356.7 mPa·s, which was reduced by 9.97% compared with those obtained using the alkali metal catalyst (KOH). When the amount of titanium catalyst was T3 0.075 wt.%, the hard foam made of regenerated polyurethane prepared by the catalyst showed the best properties, with a compressive strength of 0.168 MPa, which is 4.76% higher than that of the foam prepared using KOH catalyst.

Abstract
In the quest for optimal H2 evolution (HE) through ethanol photoreforming, a dual cocatalyst-modified heterocatalyst strategy is utilized. Tin(II) sulfide (SnS) was hybridized with α-Fe2O3 to form the heterocatalyst FeOSnS with a p-n heterojunction structure as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-vis diffusive reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. PdO x and PdO x /MnO x cocatalysts were loaded onto the FeOSnS heterocatalyst through the impregnation method, as verified by high-resolution transform electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and elemental mapping. Photocatalytic ethanol photoreforming resulted in the production of H2 as the main product with a selectivity of 99% and some trace amounts of CH4. The FeOSnS2-PdO x 2%/MnO x 1% photocatalyst achieved the highest HE rate of 1654 μmol/g, attributed to the synergistic redox contribution of the PdO x and MnO x species.

Abstract
Hydrogen, as a noncarbon energy source, plays a significant role in future clean energy vectors. However, concerns about the safe storage and transportation of hydrogen gas limit its wide application. Featured with high H2 volumetric density, nontoxicity, and nonflammability, formic acid (FA) is regarded as one of the most encouraging chemical hydrogen carriers. The search for heterogeneous catalysts with decent catalytic activity and stability for FA decomposition is one of the hottest research topics in this area. In this paper, three weakly basic resins with different functional groups, including D201 with -N+(CH3)3, D301 with -N(CH3)2, and D311 with -NH2, were investigated as alternative catalyst supports for Pd catalysts. The prepared basic resin-supported Pd catalysts were evaluated for the FA dehydrogenation reaction under atmospheric pressure and temperatures ranging from 30 to 70 °C. The results showed that the catalytic activity of the three different resin-supported Pd catalysts follows the order of Pd/D201 > Pd/D301 > Pd/D311. Particularly, a high turnover frequency value of 547.6 h-1 was achieved when employing Pd/D201 as the FA dehydrogenation reaction catalyst at 50 °C. The apparent activation energies for the three different Pd/resin catalysts were calculated, of which the Pd/D210 catalyst demonstrates the lowest activation energy of 42.9 kJ mol-1. The reasons for the superior catalytic behavior, together with the reaction mechanism, were then investigated and illustrated.
