Introduction Hierarchical pore systems (HPSs) are defined by the different porosity levels in two or multiple length scales. HPSs can be found ubiquitously in nature and human artworks, such as the circularly systems of plants and animals, the cellular shells of diatoms, animal nerve systems, man-made architectures, and traffic systems in modern cities. HPSs are naturally or artificially design...

The “pressure and material gaps” separating UHV and technical catalytic investigations have been bridged in recent years by combining in a single apparatus the ability to measure kinetics at elevated pressures on single-crystal catalysts with the capabilities to carry out surface analytical measurements. In these high-pressure/surface analytical studies a well-defined, single-crystal plane is u...

We present a novel heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst of LiFePO4 (LFP). LFP has been widely used as an electrode material of a lithium ion battery, but we observed that commercial LFP (LFP-C) could act as a good Fenton-like catalyst to decompose rhodamine 6G. The catalytic activity of LFP-C microparticles was much higher than a popular catalyst, magnetite nanoparticles. Furthermore, we found th...

Silicon carbide (SiC) or carborundum has unparalleled thermal stability and conductivity compared with many other materials. This feature together its unique photoelectrical properties (tunable band gap: 2.39–3.33 eV), low expansion, high strength, good chemical makes it an ideal inert solid in catalysis. The evolution of methods for synthesizing SiC also progressively endowed additional featur...

Catalytic persulfate technology is a new type of catalytic that has been extensively studied in recent years. Among them, the copper and silver materials synthesized by microwave assist have broad application prospects are class catalysts with excellent performance, environmental friendliness, stable structure. This article introduces material loaded metal activated carbon, analyzes mechanism o...
