Article Abstract
Background: The alkylation of benzene with methanol is an important synthetic method that is widely used in various chemical production processes. However, obtaining a high selectivity for xylene and annihilating the MTO side reaction remain challenges.
Results: In this work, a Ru/HZSM-5 catalyst was prepared using ZSM-5 as the precursor by a chemical precipitation method. Both XRD and TEM confirmed that Ru nanoparticles were evenly dispersed on the surface of the ZSM-5. The catalytic performance of benzene alkylation with methanol on the Ru/HZSM-5 catalyst was investigated. The results showed that the Ru/HZSM-5 catalyst could completely annihilate the MTO side reaction with a high conversion efficiency of benzene and selectivity for xylene, which resulted from the large gap between the transgression energy value of Ru and the ionization potential value of benzene, and the acidity of the catalyst changed greatly.
Conclusion: These findings may offer not only a new and efficient multifunctional catalyst for benzene alkylation but also fundamental insight into the catalytic mechanism of the Ru/HZSM-5 catalyst.

Chemical upcycling of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to value-added products can reduce the emission of CO, microplastics and toxic chemicals. In this work, mesoporous H-type Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (HZSM-5) supported Ru catalyst (Ru/m-HZSM-5) was synthesized and tested in the hydrogenation of PET degraded chemicals (bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate, dimethyl terephthalate, diethyl terephthalate, and terephthalic acid). Characterizations disclosed that Ru/m-HZSM-5 catalyst possesses mesopores (a dominant channel of 5.

Article Synopsis
- Bimetallic heterogeneous catalysts, like nickel-ruthenium (Ni-Ru), are challenging to create and understand, particularly regarding their elemental distributions during reactions.
- This study introduces a Ni-Ru catalyst supported on a protonated zeolite, which effectively converts carbon dioxide into methane while using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to analyze its properties.
- The research reveals that the core-shell structure of the catalyst allows significant electron transfer and promotes efficient methanation while reducing unwanted byproducts, enhancing the catalyst's selectivity and durability.

Herein, a comparative investigation of the Ru-based catalysts with different kinds of supports (TiO, AlO, HZSM-5 SiO/AlO = 27 and 130, respectively) for catalytic combustion of dichloromethane (DCM) has been performed. The characterization results showed that the C-Cl bond of DCM was cleaved on both the Brønsted and Lewis acid sites of the catalysts. However, the Lewis acid sites were more active than the Brønsted acid sites.
