  • Patent number: 11918975
    Abstract: Disclosed is a modified carbonaceous material, which includes hexagonal carbon networks in a layered stacking structure and acidic functional groups bonded to the hexagonal carbon networks and mainly existing at edges of the layered carbonaceous structure. Accordingly, the close proximity of acid moiety at the edges can resemble the center of hydrolysis enzymes, resulting in enhancement of hydrolytic efficiency. Additionally, the acid-functionalized carbonaceous material can also be applied in the capture and storage of carbon dioxide due to its unexpectedly higher capacity for CO2 molecular.

  • Publication number: 20230022210
    Abstract: Metal oxides-silica composite materials are synthesized by a co-precipitation method to serve as modified catalysts for converting ethanol into four-carbon hydrocarbons. The method includes mixing a liquid-phase silicon source and a metal precursor at different ratios so as to change the acid-base composition of the composite materials and thereby increase selectivity with respect to the four-carbon products.

  • Publication number: 20220064201
    Abstract: Disclosed is a stabilized acyclic saccharide composite, which includes a LDH-based (layered double hydroxide-based) material and acyclic saccharides intercalated in interlayer regions of the LDH-based material. The acyclic saccharides stabilized and trapped in the LDH-based material give an opportunity for direct functionalization to other valuable molecules in the pharmaceutical, chemical or carbohydrate industries. Further, a novel pathway for saccharide transformation and aldol condensation without the drawbacks associated with enzymatic catalysts is achieved through the acyclic saccharides trapped by the LDH-based material.
