Understanding the structural dynamics/evolution of catalysts and the related surface
chemistry is essential for establishing structure–catalysis relationships, where spectroscopic …

The study of catalytic materials is commonly approached from three standpoints; catalyst
preparation, catalyst characterisation and ultimately the evaluation of catalytic performance …

Catalytic science currently has access to a range of advanced experimental methods for the
study of molecular behaviour in chemical processes. Neutron spectroscopy, however, is …

Pillared clay-supported NiMo catalysts were synthesized in their reduced and sulfided forms
and applied to the hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol) as a bio-oil model …

This work investigates the acid sites in a commercial ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst by a
combination of spectroscopic and physical methods. The Brønsted acid sites in such …

Steam de-alumination is used to prepare a H-ZSM-5 material representative of industrial
acid zeolite catalysts. Characterisation shows extensive loss of zeolite acidity but minimal …

The methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction uses a zeolite catalyst (typically H-ZSM-5 or SAPO-
34) to produce light olefins (mainly C2–C4) for chemical feedstocks and methylated …

A ZSM-5 catalyst is examined in relation to the methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) reaction as
a function of reaction temperature and time-on-stream. The reaction profile is characterised …

The behaviour of model lignin derivatives m-and p-cresol within commercial acidic zeolite
catalysts was investigated using a combined quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and …

Despite vast research efforts, the detection of volatile intermediates of catalytic reactions
remains a challenge: in addition to the compatibility of the technique to the harsh reaction …
