    Growth of LiCoO2 Single Crystals by the TSFZ Method
    (Washington, DC : ACS Publ., 2018) Nakamura, Shigenobu; Maljuk, Andrey; Maruyama, Yuki; Nagao, Masanori; Watauchi, Satoshi; Hayashi, Takeshi; Anzai, Yutaka; Furukawa, Yasunori; Ling, Chris D.; Deng, Guochu; Avdeev, Maxim; Büchner, Bernd; Tanaka, Isao
    We have grown LiCoO2 single crystals by the traveling solvent floating zone (TSFZ) growth with Li-rich solvent, having observed the incongruent melting behavior of LiCoO2 between 1100 and 1300 °C. The optimum growth conditions in terms of atmosphere and solvent composition were determined to be Ar flow and an atomic ratio Li/Co 85:15, respectively. The crystals grown using a conventional-mirror-type furnace contained periodic inclusions of a Co-O phase due to the influence of Co-O phase segregation on the stability of the molten zone during growth. By using a tilted-mirror FZ furnace, inclusion-free LiCoO2 crystals of about 5 mm in diameter and 70 mm long were obtained at a tilting angle Î = 10°. The grown crystals were confirmed to be single-domain by neutron Laue diffraction. © 2018 American Chemical Society.

    Design of a core-shell catalyst : an effective strategy for suppressing side reactions in syngas for direct selective conversion to light olefins
    (Cambridge : RSC, 2020) Tan, Li; Wang, Fan; Zhang, Peipe; Suzuki, Yuichi; Wu, Yingquan; Chen, Jiangang; Yang, Guohui; Tsubaki, Noritatsu
    An elegant catalyst is designedviathe encapsulation of metallic oxide Zn-Cr inside of zeolite SAPO34 as a core-shell structure (Zn-Cr@SAPO) to realize the coupling of methanol-synthesis and methanol-to-olefin reactions. It can not only break through the limitation of the Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution but can also overcome the disadvantages of physical mixture catalysts, such as excessive CO2formation. The confinement effect, hierarchical structure and extremely short distance between the two active components result in the Zn-Cr@SAPO capsule catalyst having better mass transfer and diffusion with a boosted synergistic effect. Due to the difference between the adsorption energies of the Zn-Cr metallic oxide/SAPO zeolite physical mixture and capsule catalysts, the produced water and light olefins are easily removed from the Zn-Cr@SAPO capsule catalyst after formation, suppressing the side reactions. The light olefin space time yield (STY) of the capsule catalyst is more than twice that of the typical physical mixture catalyst. The designed capsule catalyst has superior potential for scale-up in industrial applications while simultaneously extending the capabilities of hybrid catalysts for other tandem catalysis reactions through this strategy. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2020.
