This study emphasizes the development of electrocatalysts made from nickel–cobalt bimetallic sulfide, synthesized through an ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method, focusing on their capacity to oxidize urea under alkaline conditions. The objective was to reduce the onset potential for this reaction. These nickel–cobalt bimetallic sulfide catalysts were characterized by using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A notable decrease in overpotential was observed: 70 mV for Ni0.75Co0.25S and 130 mV for Ni0.50Co0.50S, compared to a Ni1Co0S electrode. Furthermore, the XPS analysis indicates that the ratio of Ni3+/Ni2+ is higher for Ni0.75Co0.25S than for other combinations, with Ni3+ acting as the primary active center for urea electrooxidation. This reduction in the onset potential for urea oxidation and the increase in Ni3+ on the nickel–cobalt bimetallic sulfide electrodes reveal significant potential for future applications in urea electrooxidation.","PeriodicalId":29804,"journal":{"name":"ACS Engineering Au","volume":"5 4","pages":"450–467"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acsengineeringau.5c00034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144862848","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}

However, due to their elaborate microporous network, they are prone to diffusion limitations and deactivation. Several modification methods have been proposed to overcome these limitations, each exhibiting their benefits. In this work, two of the most promising strategies were combined, i.e., limiting the length of one of the crystal axes during synthesis to achieve a platelike morphology and introducing mesoporosity, creating a hierarchical platelike H-ZSM-5. The platelike morphology was obtained by adding urea as a growth modifier to the synthesis mixture, and mesopores were introduced in the platelike H-ZSM-5 through etching with a NaOH/TPAOH mixture. As a benchmark, the same etching procedure was applied to a commercial ZSM-5 counterpart. These materials were tested in the n-butanol dehydration, where the platelike morphology exhibited an improved catalytic performance, significantly increasing the activity per acid site and stability, and slightly increasing the selectivity toward the butenes. The generation of mesopores in commercial ZSM-5 also increased the activity per acid site but reduced the catalyst’s stability, likely due to an increased amount of Lewis acid sites upon etching. When applying the same modification method to the platelike H-ZSM-5, much larger mesopores and some macropores were observed. These further increased the stability of the catalyst but barely affected the activity per acid site, presumably due to the already optimized catalytic performance of the platelike H-ZSM-5.","PeriodicalId":29804,"journal":{"name":"ACS Engineering Au","volume":"5 4","pages":"434–449"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acsengineeringau.5c00033","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144863137","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}

Industrial synthesis processes provide high throughput but limited precision, while laboratory-scale technologies offer precise control but poor scalability. This study explores Sequential NanoPrecipitation (SNaP), a two-step controlled precipitation process for polymeric microparticle production, to bridge the gap between laboratory precision and industrial scalability. We systematically investigated critical process parameters governing MP formation, focusing on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) MPs stabilized with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). By comparing vortex and impinging jet mixing geometries, we demonstrated that vortex mixing provides superior performance for core assembly, particularly at higher polymer concentrations. We established the influence of delay time (Td) and core stream concentration (Ccore) on particle size, confirming that microparticle assembly follows Smoluchowski diffusion-limited growth kinetics within defined operational boundaries. Through this approach, we achieved precise control over microparticle size (1.6–3.0 μm) with narrow polydispersity. The versatility of SNaP was further demonstrated by the successful formation of MPs with different stabilizers while maintaining consistent size control. Finally, we validated the pharmaceutical relevance of SNaP by encapsulating itraconazole with high efficiency (83–85%) and characterizing its sustained release profile. These findings establish SNaP as a robust, scalable platform for high-quality pharmaceutical microparticle production with superior control over critical quality attributes.","PeriodicalId":29804,"journal":{"name":"ACS Engineering Au","volume":"5 4","pages":"468–477"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acsengineeringau.5c00035","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144863151","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}

Key synthesis parameters─calcination temperature, calcination time, reduction temperature, and reduction time─were tuned to maximize the concentration of exsolved Nix+ species and Ni0 nanoparticles, which are active sites for levulinic acid (LA) hydrogenation to γ-valerolactone (GVL). Using 15 initial samples of differently synthesized rNiPS catalysts (rNiPS-1 to rNiPS-15) to initiate the BO with Gaussian process regression, we rapidly identified synthesis conditions after three iterations, which increase the combined concentrations of Nix+ (x = ∼1.66) and Ni0/10 by ∼14% (rNiPS-18) compared to the benchmark. The optimized catalyst’s physicochemical properties, including porosity, crystallinity, reducibility, surface acidity, and local Ni geometry, were analyzed, revealing higher Nix+ and lower Ni0 concentrations than the benchmark catalyst. Additionally, the turnover frequency of rNiPS-18 for LA hydrogenation to GVL increased nearly 50% compared to that of the benchmark, underscoring BO’s effectiveness in designing Ni catalysts enriched with Nix+ and Ni0.","PeriodicalId":29804,"journal":{"name":"ACS Engineering Au","volume":"5 4","pages":"425–433"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acsengineeringau.5c00030","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144863063","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 review offers a comprehensive analysis of methanol steam reforming (MSR), partial oxidation (POX), autothermal reforming (ATR), and recent integration strategies with renewable systems and fuel cells. Emphasis is placed on catalyst design, reaction mechanisms, reactors, operational parameters, and recent nanostructured catalyst innovations, such as single-atom catalysts (SACs), bimetallic, carbon nanotubes, perovskites, and alloy nanomaterials. This review critically evaluates recent progress, highlighting how tailored catalyst morphologies, metal–support interactions, and synthesis methods translate into enhanced methanol conversion, H2 selectivity, and CO suppression. Notably, low-temperature SACs and Zn-modified bimetallic systems exhibit remarkable performance metrics, pointing toward viable pathways for clean hydrogen production. Furthermore, emerging approaches like plasma-assisted dry reforming and chemical looping integration present promising solutions for CO2 utilization. Recent applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in catalyst screening and reaction modeling also show potential to accelerate the discovery of high-efficiency systems. By synthesizing these findings and identifying the gaps in current research, this review outlines future directions for scalable, low-emission methanol reforming technologies, aiming to support the global transition toward a hydrogen-based energy economy.","PeriodicalId":29804,"journal":{"name":"ACS Engineering Au","volume":"5 4","pages":"314–346"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acsengineeringau.5c00031","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144863055","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}
