A method for preparing copper-solver and copper-gold porous microsheets with specific pore sizes, the method including the steps of providing a solution of copper microsheets and adding a silver or gold solution under controlled temperature, the reaction conditions can be changed to determine pore sizes.

The present invention relates to a process for producing mixed oxide catalysts on the basis of molybdenum and bismuth oxides in which the precursor compounds of the components of mixed oxide catalysts provided in the form of a solution and/or suspension are subjected to a spray-drying with a specific temperature regime and the spray particles obtained in this way are then calcined to yield a catalytic active mass, and to the mixed oxide catalysts obtainable by this process and to the use of these catalysts in the partial oxidation of olefins, in particular in the partial gas phase oxidation of propene to acrolein and acrylic acid. The spray drying of the precursor compounds containing solution or suspension is performed in concurrent with a gas stream having a specific entrance temperature. Alternatively, when the main gas stream has a higher entrance temperature, an additional colder gas stream can be fed in downstream. The thus obtained mixed oxide catalysts give lower a maximum temperature in the hot spot of catalyst fixed bed when they are used in the partial gas phase oxidation of olefins.

Disclosed herein are trimetallic PtAu-based nanocatalysts for electrochemical hydrogen production and screening methods thereof. Nanocatalysts are produced through a polymer pen lithography (PPL) technique, which enables large-scale fabrication of nanoparticle arrays with programmable specifications such as size, shape, and composition, providing a route to the high-throughput screening and discovery of new catalysts.

The present invention relates to a solid catalyst for producing ethanol from acetic acid, ethyl acetate, or mixtures thereof comprising a core region comprising a Group IIA metal and a surface region surrounding the core region and comprising one or more main metals. The total loading of the main metals in the catalyst is greater than or equal to 1 wt. %. Also more than 85% of main metals are located in the surface region, based on the total loading of the main metals in the catalyst. The surface region may comprise two or more layers.
