In the methanol autothermal reforming reaction, the required heat is provided by the methanol oxidation reaction, so the activity of the methanol oxidation catalyst directly affects the yield of hydrogen. Pt/γ?Al₂O₃ catalysts have attracted wide attention because of its high reactivity, but their stability is poor, and the Pt activity center is easy to agglomerate. In order to solve the above problems, Pt/γ?Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared by rotary microemulsion, and Pt/γ?Al₂O₃ catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD and other methods, and the effects of cyclohexane mass fraction, mass ratio of PEG?600 and n?butanol on the oxidation activity of methanol were investigated. The results show that the microemulsion method could improve the dispersion and utilization rate of the active components. By changing the mass fraction of cyclohexane and the mass ratio of PEG?600 to n?butanol, the active component Pt can be uniformly and firmly loaded on γ?Al₂O₃, and the sintering resistance of the catalyst can be improved. The Pt/γ?Al₂O₃ catalyst prepared under the condition of cyclohexane mass fraction of 50% and the mass ratio of PEG?600 to n?butanol is 3∶7, and the catalytic activity of methanol oxidation can reach 88%.

Ozone is a clean and strong oxidant, which has been widely used in the degrading of organic pollutants. However, the ozone oxidation process alone is not ideal for the treatment of difficult?to?degrade organic pollutants in water. Therefore, ozone catalytic oxidation technology came into being, and the selection of catalyst is the key factor to determine its degradation effect. Based on the various types of catalysts, the mechanism of metal oxides, carbon?based materials and supported composite catalysts for the catalytic oxidation treatment of water pollutants by ozone was reviewed. The existing problems and the main problems that need to be solved at present were analyzed to provide theoretical basis and reference for the research and development of suitable catalysts.

With the rapid economic development, the demand for energy continues to increase, and the emission of CO₂ gas keep growing. The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ERC) to fuel and chemicals is an effective way to realize the conversion and utilization of CO₂ as well as the storage of renewable energy. Cu?based catalysts are one of the materials which can directly reduce CO₂ to high value?added chemicals(such as hydrocarbons) with high efficiency. Thus, the Cu?based catalysts have been one of the research focus of ERC technology research. The main research progress of Cu?based catalysts for ERC technology in recent years is reviewed. Firstly, reaction principle of ERC and the technology challenge are summarized, and then the cooperative control strategy for the structure and composition of copper?based catalysts is discussed for monometallic copper?based catalysts, polymetallic copper?based catalysts, copper oxide and oxide?derived copper catalysts, and copper?organic composite catalysts. In addition, research progress and unsolved problems of Cu?based catalysts are also summarized. Finally, the future trend these catalysts is also prospected.
