Article Abstract
The thermocatalytic oxidative potential of various supported noble metal catalysts (SNMCs) is well-known for hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs), e.g., formaldehyde (FA) and toluene. However, little is known about SNMC performance against ambient VOC pollution with low concentration (subppm levels) relative to industrial effuluents with high concentrations (several hundred ppm). Here, the thermocatalytic oxidation performance of a titanium dioxide (TiO)-supported platinum catalyst (Pt/TiO) has been evaluated for a low-concentration binary mixture of FA and toluene at low temperatures and in the dark. A sample of TiO containing 1 wt% Pt with thermal reduction pre-treatment under hydrogen achieved 100 % conversion of FA (500 ppb) and toluene (100 ppb) at 130 °C and a gas hourly velocity of 59,701 h. Its catalytic activity was lowered by either a decrease in catalyst mass or an increase in VOC concentration, relative humidity, or flow rate. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, density functional theory simulations, and molecular oxygen (O) temperature-programmed desorption experiments were used to identify possible VOC oxidation pathways, reaction mechanisms, and associated surface phenomena. The present work is expected to offer insights into the utility of metal oxide-supported Pt catalysts for the low-temperature oxidative removal of gaseous VOCs in the dark, primarily for indoor air quality management.

Rutile TiO shows great potential for photocatalytic water (HO) splitting into oxygen (O) and hydrogen peroxide (HO). However, the mechanism of surface water oxidation on rutile TiO remains unclear, involving complex ground-state thermal catalysis and excited-state photocatalysis processes. Here, by using linear response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT), we investigate HO oxidation at both the ground-state and excited-state levels.

Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have emerged as a promising platform for converting CO into valuable chemicals, addressing critical energy and environmental challenges. Here, we theoretically designed M-P/V catalysts by embedding single transition metal (M = Ir, Rh, and Co) and phosphorus atoms into defective h-BN. Extensive first-principles calculations were employed to investigate the mechanisms of CO thermal hydrogenation to HCOOH and CO cycloaddition with propylene oxide (PO) to produce propylene carbonate (PC).

In recent years, Ga-based liquid metals have emerged as a prominent research focus in catalysis, owing to their unique properties, including fluidity, low melting point, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and tunable surface characteristics. This review summarizes the synthesis strategies for Ga-based liquid metal catalysts, with a focus on recent advances in their applications across electrocatalysis, thermal catalysis, photocatalysis, and related fields. In electrocatalysis, these catalysts exhibit potential for reactions such as electrocatalytic CO reduction, electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis, electrocatalytic hydrogen production, and the electrocatalytic oxidation of alcohols.

This study discovered a new thermocatalytic reaction of NO-to-NH synthesis to solve nitric oxide pollution and low NH synthesis efficiency. Solid-solution OsPt/γ-AlO exhibited an outstanding performance in NO-to-NH synthesis under mild temperatures and ambient pressure. OsPt/γ-AlO yielded up to 97% NH at 200 °C, with remarkably higher yield and milder conditions than that of the Haber-Bosch process.

Thermocatalytic or photocatalytic CO reduction to CO─without H or sacrificial hole scavengers─remains challenging due to prohibitively high energy barriers or the lack of coupled oxidation half-reactions. Photothermal catalysis enables autonomous CO dissociation synergistic photon-thermal activation under mild conditions. However, it remains a grand challenge to design high-performance catalysts that achieve rapid lattice oxygen dynamic equilibrium by harmonizing photogenerated carriers with thermal lattice vibrations.
