Controlling the phase composition of electrocatalysts through crystal phase engineering is a useful strategy to improve the catalytic activity of electrocatalysts. Herein, crystal phase engineering is reported by regulating the phase composition of zinc selenide (ZnSe) to enhance the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries. By tuning the ratio of ZIF-8 to SeO<sub>2</sub>, the unconventional hexagonal phase was successfully introduced into the cubic ZnSe host (HC-ZnSe). Experimental studies and analyses have shown that HC-ZnSe can capture LiPSs and accelerate sulfur conversion more effectively than pure cubic ZnSe. As a result, the Li-S batteries with the optimized HC-ZnSe-4 modified separator exhibit an improved rate performance of 612 mAh g<sup>−1</sup> at 2 C, and long-term cycling stability with 0.034% capacity decay per cycle over 1000 cycles at 1 C. Moreover, a high reversible areal capacity of 6.1 mAh cm<sup>−2</sup> can be achieved over 200 cycles even with sulfur loading as high as 6.8 mg cm<sup>−2</sup>. This work demonstrates that crystal phase engineering is a promising strategy for optimizing catalyst performance for Li-S batteries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101081,"journal":{"name":"Resources Chemicals and Materials","volume":"5 3","pages":"Article 100189"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148917322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermocatalytic conversion of methanol, particularly green methanol derived from CO<sub>2</sub> or biomass to ethanol (MTE) offers a promising alternative. This review provides a critical and systematic analysis of four predominant thermocatalytic MTE routes in which dimethyl oxalate (DMO), methyl acetate (MA), acetic acid (AA), and formaldehyde (FA) are the main intermediate product, respectively. The carbonylation-dependent routes (DMO, MA, AA) achieve high ethanol selectivity (&gt;90 %) in the downstream hydrogenation step, predominantly over Cu-based catalysts where Cu<sup>0</sup>/Cu<sup>+</sup> synergy is crucial. However, their practical potential is primarily constrained by rapid catalyst deactivation (e.g., coking in zeolites) or reliance on corrosive promoters in the upstream carbonylation step. In contrast, the FA-mediated route follows a distinct, atom-economical pathway but presents a more complex catalytic landscape. It suffers from low intermediate selectivity (e.g., to glycolaldehyde) during the C-C coupling and faces further selectivity losses in the hydrogenation of highly oxygenated intermediates, typically resulting in ethanol yields below 50 %. A comparative technological assessment reveals that the MA route with its integrated three-step process currently represents the most commercially advanced and industrially demonstrated MTE technology. The DMO route is mature for ethylene glycol production while the AA route leverages established unit operations. By elucidating the underlying catalytic mechanisms and structure-performance relationships, this review establishes a foundational framework for the rational design of stable and selective catalysts in sustainable ethanol synthesis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101081,"journal":{"name":"Resources Chemicals and Materials","volume":"5 3","pages":"Article 100170"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148917367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study reports the surface modification of natural magnetic particles coated with silica and trimethoxy[3-(phenylamino)propyl]silane (NMP@SiO<sub>2</sub>/TMPS) for the adsorption of CAP and CIP. TMPS was selected because it possesses a phenylamino group providing both aromatic and amine functionalities, enabling interactions such as electron donor–acceptor (EDA), π–π, n–π, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bonding. The TMPS concentration was varied at 1.5, 3.0, and 7.5 mmol for 0.5 g NMP and 2 mL sodium silicate solution. The sol–gel method was used to synthesize the adsorbent material. Characterisation of the adsorbent included FTIR, XRD, SEM–EDX mapping, VSM, and BET analysis. Optimal adsorption was achieved at pH 6 for CAP and at pH 5 for CIP, with contact times of 90 min and 60 min, respectively. The highest adsorption capacity was observed with NMP@SiO₂/TMPS(3.0), reaching 87.11 mg g<sup>–1</sup> for CAP and 161.17 mg g<sup>–1</sup> for CIP at a concentration of 350 mg L<sup>–1</sup>. Kinetic studies indicates that CAP adsorption follows the pseudo-second-order (PSO) model, whereas CIP adsorption is best described by the Elovich model. For both antibiotics, the Redlich–Peterson isotherm provides the best fit to equilibrium data.

Alloying (such as the addition of Ca, Zn, and rare earth elements), recrystallization mechanisms (including particle-stimulated nucleation, twin-induced recrystallization, and shear band-induced recrystallization), and grain boundary segregation can largely affect the texture of magnesium alloy sheets.

The first fluidized bed reactor operates at 700 °C using hydrogen chloride (HCl) as the fluidizing gas.

These intermediates are subsequently dechlorinated and sintered in the second fluidized bed at 1600 °C to produce HPDM. Thermodynamic analysis was performed to guide optimization of reaction conditions, which was subsequently validated by experiments. Results reveal that HCl preferentially reacts with CaO and Fe₂O₃ at 700 °C.
