The catalytic degradation performance of the Cu<sub>2</sub>O/CuFe-LDH nanocomposite was investigated utilizing tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) as a typical antibiotic contaminant.

Moreover, the Cu<sub>2</sub>O/CuFe-LDH nanocomposite demonstrated remarkable cycling stability (85 % degradation rate after 5 recycling cycles), a wide pH range (3−11), resistance to background ion interference, and lower toxicity of the products of degradation.

To investigate the effect on catalytic performance and stability, the catalysts were prepared by varying the water-to-aluminum isopropoxide molar ratio during synthesis. An increase in the amount of water led to enlarged pore sizes and volumes. Long-term dry reforming of methane (DRM) tests revealed that while the initial catalytic activity was similar by pore size and volume, however, coke deposition, which is expected to be the main for catalyst deactivation, was significantly influenced. Catalysts with smaller pores exhibited greater coke formation after the reaction, which is likely due to mass transfer limitations. Coke formation was significantly suppressed in the catalyst with larger pores, attributed to improved mass transfer. These results demonstrate that even in high-temperature gas-phase reactions, pore structure can play a critical role in catalyst deactivation, thereby highlighting the potential of mechanochemical one-pot synthesis as a strategy for advanced catalyst design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":243,"journal":{"name":"Applied Catalysis A: General","volume":"706 ","pages":"Article 120500"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144830824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
