Sb was used as the additive to enhance the NH 3 -SCR performance of MnTiO x catalyst. Experimental results revealed that MnSbTiO x -0.2 demonstrated outstanding NH 3 -SCR activity in a wide temperature window (100–400 ℃) and high resistance to SO 2 . Characterization results indicated the introduction of Sb into MnTiO x catalyst could improve the dispersity of active species and generate more surface acid sites, Mn 4+ and surface adsorbed oxygen species. In situ DRIFT spectra proved that the presence of Sb in MnSbTiO x -0.2 catalyst could form new Brønsted acid sites, along with the increased surface Lewis acidity. The improved adsorption of NH 3 and NO x species over MnSbTiO x -0.2 catalyst had a stimulating effect on the NH 3 -SCR reaction over it through Langmuir−Hinshelwood (L-H) route. Moreover, Sb species in MnSbTiO x -0.2 could improve the reactivities of ad-NH 3 and ad-NO x species in SCR reaction. All these factors contributed to the excellent performance of MnSbTiO x -0.2 catalyst. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is widely recognized as a key solution for mitigating global climate change. Consequently, it has received significant attention from countries worldwide. However, carbon dioxide corrosion poses a significant challenge to CCUS and represents a bottleneck to the large-scale development and application of this technology. To mitigate this issue, this review starts with a discussion of corrosion problems in CCUS. Later, the fundamentals of the carbon dioxide corrosion mechanism are introduced. Then, the influences of various factors that affect the corrosion are highlighted, such as water content, pH, flow rate, etc. Afterward, we summarize the commonly used methods for corrosion protection, with a particular focus on inhibitor, given their eco-friendly and effective nature. Lastly, challenges and prospects are discussed to motivate future studies on developing novel, high-performance green inhibitor and studying the corresponding protection mechanisms, hoping to make some contributions to carbon emission reduction., Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing interests., (© 2023 The Authors.)

Ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH 3 -SCR) of nitrogen oxides is an effective and well-established technology for NO x removal, but current commercial denitrification catalysts based on V 2 O 5 -WO 3 /TiO 2 have some obvious disadvantages, including narrow operating temperature windows, toxicity, poor hydrothermal stability, and unsatisfied SO 2 /H 2 O tolerance. To overcome these drawbacks, it is imperative to investigate new types of highly efficient catalysts. In order to design catalysts with outstanding selectivity, activity, and anti-poisoning ability, core-shell structured materials have been widely applied in the NH 3 -SCR reaction, which exhibits numerous advantages including the large surface area, the strong synergy interaction of core-shell materials, the confinement effect, and the shielding effect from the shell layer to protect the core. This review summarizes recent developments of core-shell structured catalysts for NH 3 -SCR, including basic classification, synthesis methods, and a detailed description of the performance and mechanisms of each type of catalyst. It is hoped that the review will stimulate future developments in NH 3 -SCR technology, leading to novel catalyst designs with improved denitrification performance., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.

Photocatalytic degradation technology is regarded as a promising technology for dye-contained wastewater treatment due to its superior efficiency and recycling. The key to the implementation of photocatalytic degradation technology is the selection of sunlight-active photocatalyst. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) photocatalyst has been put into a lot of research in the field of organic pollutant degradation because of its low cost, suitable electronic structure and high chemical stability. In this perspective review, we comprehensively discuss the recent advance of photocatalytic dyes degradation over g-C 3 N 4 -based materials. The properties, structure and preparation methods of g-C 3 N 4 are briefly introduced. Furthermore, the progress in improving the degradation efficiency of g-C 3 N 4 -based photocatalyst is highlighted in the article. The possible pathways and different active species for dyes decomposition are also summarized. We expect this review can provide instructive application of g-C 3 N 4 -based catalysts for environmental remediation., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
