Hausmannite Mn3O4 functionalized graphene Oxide-NaClO system for oxidative desulfurization and denitrogenation of fuel oils

Muhammad Yaseen et al.

Summary: In this study, Hausmannite Manganese oxides nanocubes (Mn3O4) deposited on graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were synthesized and composited together as Mn3O4/GO via in-situ pot hydrothermal technique. The synthesized materials were characterized by various analytical procedures, showing that the Mn3O4/GO composite had a large active surface area and surface functionalities, which resulted in excellent catalytic performance. Moreover, the Mn3O4/GO-NaClO system exhibited good catalytic response in the ultra-fast and highly efficient, environment friendly and cost-effective oxidative desulfurization and denitrogenation of fuel oils.

Muhammad Yaseen et al.

Summary: In this study, zinc and manganese loaded activated carbon derived from corn cobs were used for adsorptive desulfurization of model and real fuel oils. The results showed that Zn/AC and Mn/AC performed better in removing dibenzothiophene, following pseudo 2nd order kinetics and Freundlich adsorption isotherm model. The prepared adsorbents remained highly active for six repeated cycles with minimal decrease in desulfurization performance under the optimized reaction conditions.

Porphyrin Conjugated Polymer with Periodic Type II-Like Heterojunctions and Single-Atom Catalytic Sites for Broadband-Responsive Hydrogen Evolution

Jinming Wang et al.

Summary: A novel heterometallic Zn-/Co-porphyrin conjugated polymer (ZnCoP-F CP) with a Co-porphyrin bridging unit bearing two perfluorophenyls is synthesized via a Sonogashira coupling reaction. The enhanced performance of ZnCoP-F CP is attributed to the high electron-withdrawing capacity of its perfluorophenyls and the highly dispersed Co centers in Co-porphyrin bridging units. Broadband-responsive feature of ZnCoP-F CP is due to the large pi-conjugated system throughout the 2D internal framework of the porphyrin polymer.

Molybdenum Dioxide Nanoparticles Anchored on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes as Oxidative Desulfurization Catalysts: Role of Electron Transfer in Activity and Reusability

Juncong Zou et al.

Summary: The electron transfer between metal-oxides and supports greatly impacts the performance of catalysts in oxidative desulfurization (ODS), with molybdenum dioxide with oxygen vacancies (V-O-MoO2) catalysts anchored on electron-rich nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NC) showing excellent ODS activity and reusability. By promoting dispersion of V-O-MoO2 and reducing the bond energy of the Mo-O bond, the strong electron-donating effect of NC on V-O-MoO2 enhances exposure of active sites and enriches oxygen vacancies, leading to effective desulfurization.
