The Brønsted acidity of proton-exchanged zeolites has historically led to the most impactful
applications of these materials in heterogeneous catalysis, mainly in the fields of …

In the past decade or so, small-pore zeolites have received greater attention than large-and
medium-pore molecular sieves that have historically dominated the literature. This is …

The production of high-demand chemical commodities such as ethylene and propylene
(methanol-to-olefins), hydrocarbons (methanol-to-hydrocarbons), gasoline (methanol-to …

The methanol-to-aromatics (MTA) process is regarded as a promising route to produce
aromatic commodities through non-petroleum carbon resources, such as biomass, waste …

Hydrocarbon conversion catalysts suffer from deactivation by deposition or formation of
carbon deposits. Carbon deposit formation is thermodynamically favored above 350° C …

Understanding hydrocarbon generation in the zeolite-catalysed conversions of methanol
and methyl chloride requires advanced spectroscopic approaches to distinguish the …

Decentralized chemical plants close to circular carbon sources will play an important role in
shaping the postfossil society. This scenario calls for carbon technologies which valorize …

Hydrogen transfer is the major route in catalytic conversion of methanol to olefins (MTO) for
the formation of nonolefinic byproducts, including alkanes and aromatics. Two separate …

The industrially important methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) reaction is driven and sustained
by autocatalysis in a dynamic and complex manner. Hitherto, the entire molecular routes …

Unveiling catalytic mechanisms at a molecular level aids rational catalyst design and
selectivity control for process optimization. In this study, we find that the Brønsted acid site …
