Study on the Effect of Preparation Methods on the Performance of Ag-Cu Bifunctional Catalysts for NH₃-SCO

This study demonstrates that a two-step preparation method (Cu-first) for Ag-Cu/Al₂O₃ bifunctional catalysts significantly enhances N₂ selectivity to over 90% by modulating surface active oxygen and shifting the reaction pathway from imide intermediates to the N₂⁻ route, thereby offering an optimized strategy for efficient NH₃ selective catalytic oxidation.

Synergistic effect of nano-silica and copper grains on the superhydrophobicity and corrosion resistance of silane coatings on carbon steel

This study demonstrates that optimizing a silane-modified coating with micron-sized copper grains and 0.3 wt% nano-silica, rather than direct doping, creates a superhydrophobic surface (160° contact angle) that significantly enhances the corrosion resistance of Q235B carbon steel through a simple, low-cost preparation method.
