Research Topics
(1) CO or CO2 hydrogenation to gasoline, isoparaffin
Direct hydrogenation of CO2 to high-valued fuels is a process that can be likened to the “Trapping two fishes with a single worm”. This win−win situation addresses the ever-increasing problems associated with excessive CO2 emission as well as renewable energy supply. The selectivity of gasoline reached 71.7% in hydrocarbons (HCs) with a maximum of 38.2% isoparaffins possessing a RON value of 91.7 at CO2 conversion of 31.2%. Multibranched isomers accounted for 28.3% in all C5+ isoparaffins, much higher than that of the single zeolite.
(2) Zeolite Design and Synthesis
Zeolites are vital industrial materials applied widely in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Porous zeolites are essentially synthesized in the presence of soft or hard templates in processes such as hydrothermal, solvothermal, and ionothermal synthesis. Herein, we demonstrated a facile ambient pressure technique to synthesize NaY zeolite using a glass tube as a reactor and a fluid sealant to create a physical barrier between the reactor contents and the atmosphere.
