This is the case for hexaaluminates, a class of hexagonal aluminate compounds with a unique structure that are stable at very high temperatures up to 1600°C and exhibit exceptional resistance to sintering and thermal shock, thus making them attractive catalysts for high-temperature applications. In this review, the structure of hexaaluminates is presented first. The most recent advances in synthetic methods (sol-gel, reverse microemulsion, hydrothermal synthesis, carbon-templating, solution combustion synthesis, and freeze-drying methods) are discussed subsequently, with the aim of maximizing textural properties and including in their structure metals known to be active in catalytic applications, such as combustion of CH4, partial oxidation, and dry reforming of CH4 to produce synthetic gas, and the decomposition of N2O. Finally, other applications, such as their function as a thermal barrier, are also addressed.","PeriodicalId":9647,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86207844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jain","doi":"10.1080/01614940.2020.1831757","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01614940.2020.1831757","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization for the production of fuels and energy-rich chemicals is one of the attractive topics of research in modern-day chemistry. The main barriers in the CO2 utilization include: 1) the cost associated in CO2 capture, separation, purification, and transportation; 2) higher energy demand for conversion due to its higher kinetic and thermodynamic stability; 3) the lack of socio-economical driving forces. Valorization of CO2 has been realized as a viable option for the mitigation of CO2 as well as to create new business opportunities. Carbon dioxide is a nontoxic, renewable, and abundant C1 source; whereas carboxylation of olefins to carboxylic acids represents one of the most important transformations owing to the broad applicability of these chemicals in various domains, such as water-absorbing polymers, preservatives of food, fertilizers, building blocks for the manufacturing of cosmetics, soaps, detergents, rubbers, dyes, animal feed, plastics, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. The present review mainly focuses on the recent advances in the transition metal-catalyzed carboxylation of the olefins by using carbon dioxide as a feedstock. Firstly, the hydrocarboxylation or direct carboxylation using coordination complexes of transition metals such as rhodium, copper, cobalt, nickel, ruthenium, iron, palladium, and zirconium have been discussed in detail. In the next section, the hetero carboxylation reactions, for example, boracarboxylation, silacarboxylation, carbocarboxylation, thiocarboxylation and dicarboxylation have been presented to explore the wider scope of CO2 utilization for carboxylation reactions. Lastly, the carboxylation of dienes and difunctionalization reactions have been discussed. Further, the recent trends and key challenges in the use of CO2 as a carbxylating agent for carboxylation reactions have been described.","PeriodicalId":9647,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74471304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous SACs have been investigated for CO oxidation both experimentally and theoretically, including noble-metal catalysts (Pt, Au, Pd, etc.) and non-noble-metal catalysts (Fe, Co, Ni, etc.), in which the atomically dispersed metal atoms are anchored on supports via strong metal-support interactions. This unique structure of SACs contributes to activating the adsorbed CO and O2 and stabilizing the intermediates. Electron transfer between the metal atom and the support plays an important role in tuning the electronic structure, which can greatly influence the activity, selectivity, and stability of SACs. In this review, the design principles and synthesis methods of SACs for CO oxidation are discussed with emphasis on single-atom active sites and metal-support interactions. Four CO oxidation mechanisms over SACs are evaluated.

Today’s chemical industries need to give more focus for the planet through improving the environmental footprints of fuels and chemicals manufacturing processes. Oxidation and hydrogenation processes are widely used in the production of chemicals and fuels. Oxidation processes are especially important to convert petroleum-based materials to useful petrochemicals of higher oxidation state. Many existing oxidation processes, however, still rely on the use of stoichiometric oxidants, such as dichromate/sulfuric acid, permanganates, periodates, chromium oxides, osmium oxide etc., and remain a major source of environmental pollution. Therefore, oxidation processes using eco-friendly oxidizing agents such as molecular oxygen, ozone and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are incresingly becoming important to improve the environmental sustainability. Hydrogen peroxide is especially attractive for the liquid-phase oxidation due to the presence of high percentage of active oxygen and the production of water as only by-product. As a result, H2O2-based eco-friendly oxidation processes are gradually replacing some well-established processes such as production of propylene oxide, caprolactam, phenol etc. Moreover, recent advances in the area of oxidation catalysis is promoting H2O2-based technologies to emerge as a frontline, eco-friendly sustainable processes. H2O2 is also finding greater applications in pulp/paper industries and waste water treatment as a substitute of chlorine-based oxidizing agents. Herein, we have analyzed various reactions using H2O2 as an oxidant and their recent advancement to bring important aspects of H2O2-based oxidation processes and catalysis. Moreover, various aspects of using H2O2 toward development of sustainable oxidation processes have been analyzed with respect to factors affecting the end uses in chemical industry such as efficiency, catalyst and reaction pathways. We have reviewed manufacturing trends of H2O2 and emerging applications of H2O2 in sustainable oxidation processes. Critical discussions have also been made on the opportunities and challenges with emerging H2O2 based oxidation processes in the production of bulk as well as specialty chemicals.
