Abstract
The emission of NH3 has been reported to pose a serious threat to both human health and the environment. To efficiently eliminate NH3, catalysts for the selective catalytic oxidation of NH3 (NH3-SCO) have been intensively studied. Fe2O3-based catalysts were found to exhibit superior NH3 oxidation activity; however, the low N2 selectivity made it less attractive in practical applications. In this work, aimed at improving the N2 selectivity on Fe2O3-based catalysts, a simple SiO2 doping strategy was proposed. Although the NH3 oxidation activity showed almost no change on Fe2O3 after SiO2 doping, the N2 selectivity was significantly improved. Systematic characterizations revealed that SiO2 doping could increase the specific surface area of Fe2O3, and a strong interaction of Fe-O-Si was formed in Fe2O3-SiO2 mixed oxide catalysts. Furthermore, abundant Brønsted acid sites were formed on Fe2O3-SiO2 catalysts due to the facile hydrolysis of the Fe-O-Si structure into Si-OH and Fe-OH. Although SiO2 doping was found to weaken the redox ability of Fe2O3, the abundant Brønsted acid sites on Fe2O3-SiO2 catalysts could facilitate NH3 oxidation reaction through an internal SCR (i-SCR) pathway, thus achieving superior N2 selectivity. This work can provide new insights into constructing efficient NH3-SCO catalysts with high N2 selectivity.

Abstract
A critical constraint impeding the utilization of Mn-based oxide catalysts in NH3 selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) is their inadequate resistance to water and sulfur. This vulnerability primarily arises from the propensity of SO2 to bind to the acidic site in manganese oxide, resulting in the formation of metal sulfate and leading to the irreversible deactivation of the catalyst. Therefore, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the detrimental impact of SO2 on the acidic sites and elucidating the underlying mechanism of this toxicity are of paramount importance for the effective application of Mn-based catalysts in NH3-SCR. Herein, we strategically modulate the acidity of the manganese oxide catalyst surface through the incorporation of Ce and Nb. Comprehensive analyses, including thermogravimetry, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption, in situ diffused reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations, reveal that SO2 exhibits a propensity for adsorption at strongly acidic sites. This mechanistic understanding underscores the pivotal role of surface acidity in governing the sulfur resistance of manganese oxide.

Abstract
TiO2, ZrO2 and a series of TiO2-ZrO2 (TxZ1, x means the atomic ratio of Ti/Zr = 10, 5, 1, 0.2 and 0.1) composite oxide supports were prepared through co-precipitation, and then 3 wt% Co was loaded through wetness impregnation methods. The obtained 3 wt% Co/TiO2 (3CT), 3 wt% Co/ZrO2 (3CZ) and 3 wt% Co/TxZ1 (3CTxZ1) catalysts were evaluated for the oxidative ethane dehydrogenation reaction with CO2 (CO2-ODHE) as a soft oxidant. 3CT1Z1 catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic properties, with C2H4 yield, C2H6 conversion and CO2 conversion about 24.5 %, 33.8 % and 18.0 % at 650 °C, respectively. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), in-situ Raman, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quasi in-situ X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) have been utilized to thoroughly characterize the investigated catalysts. The results revealed that 3CT1Z1 produced TiZrO4 solid solution with more metal defect sites and oxygen vacancies (Ov), promoting the formation of Co2+-TiZrO4 structure. Furthermore, the presence of Ov and Ti3+can facilitate the high dispersion and stabilization of Co2+, as well as suppressing the severe reduction of Co2+, leading to superior ethane oxidative dehydrogenation activity. Besides, less Co0 is beneficial to ODHE reaction, because of its promotion effects for reverse water gas shift reaction; however, more Co0 results in dry reforming reaction (DRE). This work will shed new lights for the design and preparation of highly efficient catalysts for ethylene production.

Abstract
Vanadium-based catalysts play a pivotal role in the emission control of industrial NOx via selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. However, little attention has been paid to the potential emission of greenhouse gas N2O under complex working conditions. This work reports that a commercial V2O5/TiO2 catalyst may lead to significant N2O emission without greatly changing the outlet NOx concentration after chromium (Cr) deposition. With a Cr loading of 2 wt %, N2O concentration increased from 27.8 to 199.2 ppm at 350 °C with the value of outlet N2O/(N2O+N2) from 2.5% to 19.4%. Experimental results combined with DFT+U calculations suggest that nonselective catalytic reduction (NSCR) is the main route for N2O formation in a wide temperature range of 250 ∼ 400 °C. It is stemmed from the fact that the covalent interaction between Cr and V species on the V2O5/TiO2 surface accelerates the conversion of V4+ + Cr6+ → V5+ + Cr3+, leading to a larger proportion of surface V5+. More importantly, surface V5+ is highly related to the redox property of the V2O5/TiO2 catalyst, which is beneficial to NSCR reaction rather than the standard SCR process. The work suggests that to better inhibit the emission of greenhouse gases during the NH3-SCR process, monitoring N2O emission should be included along with the NOx concentrations, especially in complex flue gases.

Abstract
NO reduction over highly dispersed zerovalent iron (Fe0) supported on graphene (G), with and without the presence of CO in the reacting stream, was systematically studied using a fixed-bed reactor, and the reaction mechanism was examined with the aid of in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The in situ FTIR results showed that NO adsorbed on the Fe0 site is reduced to form active surface oxygen species (O*), which is then reduced by carbon in graphene to form CO2. The presence of CO in the reacting stream helps to reduce the oxidized Fe(O) sites to regenerate Fe0 sites, making NO reduction easier. It was revealed that NO and CO2 are easily adsorbed on the active surface oxygen species (O*) to form nitrate and carbonate, inhibiting their reduction by CO and deactivating the catalyst. The DFT calculations results suggest that the role of Fe is to reduce the energy barrier of the NO adsorption and decomposition, which controls the formation of active surface oxygen species and N2. The combined FTIR and DFT results offer new insights into the possible mechanism of catalytic NO reduction over graphene loaded with Fe, with and without CO.

Abstract
Expecting to gain an excellent operating temperature window and superior catalytic activity of the catalyst in SCR reaction, the Fe-Ce bimetallic oxide catalyst was firstly prepared and sulfated with two different sulfation strategies by H2SO4. It is interestingly found that both the two sulfation strategies can significantly broaden the operating temperature window of the catalyst. In particular, the SFC and FCS both exhibit superior resistance to H2O + SO2, and the NOx conversion of the SFC even displays no changes in the coexistence of H2O and SO2. The characterization results show that different sulfation strategies can generate amorphous sulfate species rather than bulk sulfate species. Furthermore, more surface-adsorbed oxygen as well as higher contents of Ce3+ and Fe3+ can be obtained on the sulfated catalysts, especially for the SFC catalyst. Meanwhile, different sulfation strategies will progressively enhance the redox ability and amounts of strong acid sites, which will contribute to broadening the operating temperature window for the NH3-SCR reaction. Additionally, different sulfation methods do not change the reaction pathway of catalysts. However, the adsorption of ad-NH3 species and reactivity of ad-NOx species are significantly changed. These lead to the reaction pathway shifts to E-R direct over the SFC and the promotion of E-R and L-H mechanisms over the FCS catalyst.

Abstract
The facet-dependent reactivity of CrMn catalysts was still unclear, hindering the further enhancement of their low-temperature SCR performance. Herein, the facet-dependent reactivity of CrMn1.5O4 catalyst for NH3-SCR of NOx was innovatively illustrated by numerous characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Exposed (100) facet of CrMn1.5O4 catalyst exhibited best low-temperature SCR activity with ≥90 % NO conversion within 148-296 °C and 2.86 × 10-3 mol/(g·s) reaction rate within 160-240 °C. The characterizations revealed that (100) facet could induce the increase of BET specific area, electron transfer, concentration of Mn4+ and Oα, surface acidity, redox ability, NH3 and NOx adsorption/activation capacity. Subsequently, DFT calculations demonstrated that (100) facet exhibited the strongest affinity for NH3 and NO due to its unique 3O3c-Mn5c-2O4c bond and abundant charges transfer near the active adsorption sites, and Brønsted acid and oxygen vacancies were most easily formed on (100) facet. Furthermore, H2O formation as the rate determining step easily occurred on (100) facet. Eventually, we successfully improved the low-temperature SCR activity of CrMn1.5O4 catalyst by further tailoring highly active (100) facet from 0.754 to 0.865. This work provides the deeper understanding of facet-dependent reactivity and a good strategy to improve the catalytic activity of the catalysts.
