Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated by a combination of Cu3(BTC)2 MOF and polymer cellulose acetate. The cellulose acetate in the MMMs served as the matrix and the Cu3(BTC)2 MOF as the filler. The as-synthesized MMMs were utilized as a heterogeneous catalyst for aldehyde acetalization. The characterization techniques indicated that the Cu3(BTC)2 crystals were uniformly dispersed in the MMMs. The BET surface area of the Cu3(BTC)2-based MMM was measured to be 459 m2 g-1 at 60 wt% Cu3(BTC)2 loading. Furthermore, the MMMs served as an excellent catalyst under our continuous flow catalytic reaction conditions. The optimal catalytic result of benzaldehyde yield reached 94% with 60 wt% Cu3(BTC)2 loading of the MMMs at room temperature and the benzaldehyde diethyl acetal reached 0.59 mmol min-1 gCu-BTC-1.

Catalytic static mixers were used for the continuous flow hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes, carbonyls, nitro- and diazo-compounds, nitriles, imines, and halides. This technique relies on tubular reactors fitted with 3D printed static mixers which are coated with a catalytic metal layer, either Pd or Ni. Additive manufacturing of the metal mixer scaffold results in maximum design flexibility and is compatible with deposition methods such as metal cold spraying which allow for mass production and linear process scale up. High to full conversion was achieved for the majority of substrates, demonstrating the flexibility and versatility of the catalytic static mixer technology. In the example of an alkyne reduction, the selectivity of the flow reactor could be directed to either yield an alkene or alkane product by simply changing the reactor pressure.
Ferric hydroxide supported gold subnano clusters or quantum dots: Enhanced catalytic performance in chemoselective hydrogenation

An attempt to prepare ferric hydroxide supported Au subnano clusters via modified co-precipitation without any calcination was made. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been employed to study the structure and chemical states of these catalysts. No Au species could be observed in the HRTEM image nor from the XRD pattern, suggesting that the sizes of the Au species in and on the ferric hydroxide support were less than or around 1 nm. Chemoselective hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes was selected as a probe reaction to examine the catalytic properties of this catalyst. Under the same reaction conditions, such as 100 °C and 1 MPa H2 in the hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds, a 96-99% conversion (except for 4-nitrobenzonitrile) with 99% selectivity was obtained over the ferric hydroxide supported Au catalyst, and the TOF values were 2-6 times higher than that of the corresponding ferric oxide supported catalyst with 3-5 nm size Au particles. For further evaluation of this Au catalyst in the hydrogenation of citral and cinnamaldehyde, selectivity towards unsaturated alcohols was 2-20 times higher than that of the corresponding ferric oxide Au catalyst.
