The present invention belongs to the technical field of functional organic macromolecule composite catalysts and involves the preparation of a nitrogen-doped lattice macromolecule composite loaded with an efficient denitrification and sulfur resistance catalyst, firstly using the method of adding metal salts to make a large amount of Ce.sup.3+, Ce.sup.4+, Sn.sup.3+ and Sn.sup.4+ ions accumulate around the cyanuric acid molecule. Afterwards, 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine and cytosine were added to graft with the cyanuric acid to produce the N-doped macromolecule in the first stage. After that, potassium permanganate was used as the oxidizing agent, and redox reaction occurred on the surface of N-doped macromolecules, so that the manganese cerium tin catalyst was grown in situ on the surface of N-doped macromolecules, and finally calcined at once to cross-link the N-doped macromolecules to generate catalyst composites. The catalysts described in this invention have higher efficient NOx reduction and sulfur resistance performance.

The present disclosure belongs to the field of single-atom catalytic degradation of refractory organic pollutants, and provides a single-atom catalyst for activation of persulfate to generate pure singlet oxygen (1O2) as well as a preparation method and an application thereof. The single-atom catalyst of the present disclosure includes supports and single iron atoms loaded on the support; the supports are graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets; the single iron atoms are bound to the supports in the form of a Fe—N4 coordination structure. The present disclosure employs graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets as the supports, so that the single iron atoms have a uniform surrounding environment and the persulfate is only converted into 1O2 when being activated; 1O2 has good selectivity and anti-interference ability, so the single-atom catalyst provided in the present disclosure may have excellent selectivity and anti-interference performance in the degradation of organic pollutants.

A transition metal-based heterogeneous carbonylation reaction catalyst has an excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in the carbonylation reaction and is easily separated from a product, by crosslinking polymerizing a transition metal-based homogeneous catalyst unit through a Friedel-Craft reaction. The catalyst may be used in a method for preparing lactone. The transition metal-based heterogeneous carbonylation reaction catalyst allows to produce lactone or succinic anhydride with an epoxide compound while showing a high selectivity, and can be applied in industrial very usefully due to easy separation from the product and thus reusing thereof.

The present invention relates to a low-temperature sinterable copper particle material prepared using an electride and an organic copper compound and a preparation method therefor and, more particularly, to a copper nanoparticle which can be useful as a conductive copper ink material thanks to its small size and high dispersibility, and a method for preparing the copper nanoparticle by reducing an organic copper compound with an electride as a reducing agent. The present invention provides copper nanoparticles which can be suitably used as a conductive copper nanoink material because the copper nanoparticles show the restrained oxidation of the copper, have an average particle diameter of around 5 nm to cause the depression of melting point, are of high dispersibility, and allow the removal of the electride in a simple ultrasonication process. The prepared copper nanoparticles can be useful as an oxidation preventing protector or conductive copper ink material which is small in particle size and high in dispersibility.
