More efficient catalysts: ifpen researchers elucidate the mechanism behind defect formation in zeolites
Zeolites are silicon and aluminum-based oxide materials that are of major interest in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and whose properties can be altered due to the presence of structural defects.

Extrusion: playing the SAXS for success!
Alumina, the archetypal material used for hydrotreatment catalyst supports, has a porous structure at supramolecular scales, determining the transport of oil feeds within it. This structure is largely

Surface characterization at the right TEMPO
The value of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) resides in its capacity to supply information on the surface elementary composition (a few nm) and the chemical environment of the atoms probed

Infrared and SOLEIL: good vibrations under the microscope
Improving the reactional performance of a catalytic material (obtained by applying an active phase onto oxide grains) requires a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the reaction. More

Characterizing catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch: a question of SWING
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a catalytic process to produce hydrocarbons from a syngas, which could come from biomass. It is therefore an alternative process to help reduce the share of oil in the
