Article Abstract

Methanol Steam Reforming (MSR) is one of the most promising technologies in the hydrogen economy, and copper-based catalysts have become the core materials in this field due to their high activity and low cost. In this paper, we systematically review the design strategies of copper-based catalysts in MSR reactions in recent years, including structure control, component optimization, support effect, and surface modification. We focus on the mechanisms of active site exposure, improvement of anti-sintering ability, and the enhancement of anti-carbon deposition performance. Finally, we summarize the challenges of current research and propose the future development direction. This review aims to provide a reference for subsequent related research through the experience of this paper.

During the electrochemical conversion of CO to acetate on copper-based catalysts, the electrolyte concentration plays a crucial role in acetate selectivity. However, the correlation between the electrolyte concentration and the local microenvironment as well as the reaction kinetics remains unclear. In this work, we report for the first time the impact of KOH concentration on the solvent structure and reaction kinetics for CO reduction to acetate using advanced computational methods.

The low-temperature oxidation of alkanes and arenes using molecular oxygen under ambient conditions is still one of the grand challenges of catalysis. Inspired by the alkane hydroxylation activity of the copper-based metalloenzyme, particulate methane monooxygenase, a tetra-copper polyoxometalate, [Cu(HO)(PWO)], was investigated as an electrocatalyst for the cathodic (reductive) oxidation of hydrocarbons with emphasis on oxidation of ethane. Controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) in water at -0.

A growing population necessitates the development of sustainable agriculture, which requires achieving atom economy in pesticide delivery, fertilization, and so on. To this end, we focus on single-atom materials (SAMs) to enhance atom utilization within agricultural systems. In this study, we report a novel pesticide for plants, a single-atom copper (Cu) formulation, by employing a precipitation-equilibrium-driven (K-driven) method to anchor Cu onto a calcium carbonate (CaCO) carrier.

Surface modification with chalcogens has emerged as a powerful means of controlling catalyst activity and selectivity in copper-based catalysts. For example, incorporation of chalcogens has led to enhanced selectivity in CO electroreduction to high-value, high-density liquid products including ethanol, propanol, acetic acid, and methanol. There are few other catalysts capable of producing these products at such high selectivities, highlighting the significance of chalcogen doping for these transformations.
