Unravelling Phosphorus-Induced Deactivation of Pd-SSZ-13 for Passive NOx Adsorption and CO Oxidation

Dongdong Chen et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that phosphorus (P) originating from lubricant oil additives or biofuels can lead to severe deactivation of Pd-SSZ-13 zeolites in automotive exhaust after-treatment systems. The loss of isolated Pd sites, specifically [Pd(OH)]+ and Pd2+, due to P-poisoning was found to be the primary reason for deactivation. In situ studies suggest that [Pd(OH)]+ is more susceptible to P-poisoning than Pd2+, leading to migration of [Pd(OH)]+ to the zeolite surface and subsequent formation of inactive metaphosphate and bulk PdOx species.

Incorporation of Active Metal Species in Crystalline Porous Materials for Highly Efficient Synergetic Catalysis

Wen-Gang Cui et al.

Summary: The design and development of efficient catalytic materials with synergistic catalytic sites, such as crystalline porous materials (CPMs), have been a focus of recent research due to their essential role in enhancing catalytic activity and selectivity. By incorporating guest species in CPMs, synergistic effects can be achieved between different components, leading to improved performance in catalytic processes.

Self-aldol condensation of aldehydes over Lewis acidic rare-earth cations stabilized by zeolites

Tingting Yan et al.

Summary: Rare-earth cations stabilized by [Si]Beta zeolites, especially yttrium, showed good catalytic performance in the self-aldol condensation of aldehydes. Further analysis revealed that aldol dehydration is the rate-limiting step, and Y(OSi)(OH)(2) stabilized by zeolites is identified as the preferred active site for this reaction.
