On-purpose Propylene Production from Light Naphtha over Zeolite-based Composite with Low Energy Consumption by Shinya Hodoshima

“…The Fe-Ga-Al-MFI zeolite as matrix component, containing each heteroatom at adequate ratio in the zeolite framework, exhibited both acid strength suitable for generating light olefins selectively and enhanced activity for dehydrogenation of light alkanes to alkenes, so that high overall yields of light olefins (ethylene, propylene and butenes) were attained by suppressing aromatics formation compared to light-naphtha cracking over conventional Al-MFI zeolite (ZSM-5). …”

Upgrading of Pyrolysis Bio-Oil by Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation, a Review Focused on Catalysts, Model Molecules, Deactivation, and Reaction Routes by Alejandra Carrasco Díaz, Lokmane Abdelouahed, Nicolas Brodu, Vicente Montes-Jiménez, Bechara Taouk

“…Consequently, bio-oil needs to be upgraded by physical processes (filtration, emulsification, among others) and/or chemical processes (esterification, cracking, hydrodeoxygenation, among others). In contrast, hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) can effectively increase the calorific value and improve the acidity and viscosity of bio-oils through reaction pathways such as cracking, decarbonylation, decarboxylation, hydrocracking, hydrodeoxygenation, and hydrogenation, where catalysts play a crucial role. …”

Study on the Mechanism of Diffusion Stress Inducing Anode’s Failure for Automotive Lithium-Ion Battery by Xing Hu, Kuo Yang, Jinrun Cheng

“…The results show that as the discharge C-rate increases, the intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions in the anode become more active, leading to greater diffusion stress. This results in noticeable cracking in the anode material, with significant particle fragmentation, ultimately causing an increase in internal resistance.…”

Research Progress on Composite Structure of Warships in Impact Protection by Tao ZHANG, Qingzhen SUN, Lei ZHANG, Xiangmei LI

“…The paper also discussed challenges related to the strength of material interfaces, the complexity of structures, and manufacturing difficulties, noting that poor interlayer bonding under extreme impact conditions may lead to material layer separation or cracking and weaken the protective efficacy. Future research should focus on the development of nanomaterials, polymer materials, and smart materials, as well as the implementation of multifunctional integrated designs, so as to enhance the stealth, anti-detection, and active defence functions of protective structures. …”
