The present disclosure relates to a method that includes converting a gas stream that contains hydrogen (H) and carbon monoxide (CO) to a second mixture that contains a hydrocarbon, for example, a hydrocarbon having between 3 and 15 carbon atoms, where the converting is performed using a first catalyst configured to convert Hand CO to methanol, a second catalyst configured to convert methanol to dimethyl ether (DME), and a third catalyst configured to convert DME to the hydrocarbon.

Methods, systems, and catalysts for the direct conversion of syngas to high-octane hydrocarbons

The present disclosure relates to a mixture that includes a first portion that includes at least one of a paraffin and/or a naphthene having between 5 carbons and 13 carbons, inclusively, at a first concentration between about 75 wt % and about 99 wt %, and a second portion that includes hydrocarbons having greater than 13 carbons at a second concentration of less than 0.05 wt %.

High octane synthetic fuels

The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes a compound having the structure RO—(CHO)—Rand a cetane number between about 65 and about 100, where n is between 1 and 10, inclusively, Rincludes a first alkyl group, and Rincludes a second alkyl group.

Reactions and methods for producing fuels

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a metal carbide, where the method includes thermally treating a molecular precursor in an oxygen-free environment, such that the treating produces the metal carbide and the molecular precursor includes where M is the metal of the metal carbide, N* includes nitrogen or a nitrogen-containing functional group, and x is between zero and six, inclusively.

Metal carbides and methods of making the same

An aspect of the present invention is an electrical device, where the device includes a current collector and a porous active layer electrically connected to the current collector to form an electrode. The porous active layer includes MgBparticles, where x&#x2265;1, mixed with a conductive additive and a binder additive to form empty interstitial spaces between the MgBparticles, the conductive additive, and the binder additive. The MgBparticles include a plurality of boron sheets of boron atoms covalently bound together, with a plurality of magnesium atoms reversibly intercalated between the boron sheets and ionically bound to the boron atoms.

Magnesium-based methods, systems, and devices

An aspect of the present disclosure is a method that includes contacting an oxygenated compound and hydrogen (H) with a solid catalyst, where the solid catalyst includes a metal carbide that includes a first transition metal, and the contacting converts at least a portion of the oxygenated compound to a deoxygenated compound. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the metal carbide may include at least one of MoC and/or WC.

Catalysts and methods for converting biomass to liquid fuels

The present disclosure relates to a method that includes heating a mixture that includes a metal phenylphosphine-containing precursor that includes at least one of Mo(PPh)(CO), Pd(PPh), Ru(PPh)Cl, Ru(PPh)(CO)Cl, Co(PPh)(CO)(NO), and/or Rh(PPh)(CO)Cl, a surfactant, and a solvent.

Metal phosphide catalysts and methods for making the same and uses thereof

An aspect of the present invention is an electrical device, where the device includes a current collector and a porous active layer electrically connected to the current collector to form an electrode. The porous active layer includes MgBparticles, where x&#x2267;1, mixed with a conductive additive and a binder additive to form empty interstitial spaces between the MgBparticles, the conductive additive, and the binder additive. The MgBparticles include a plurality of boron sheets of boron atoms covalently bound together, with a plurality of magnesium atoms reversibly intercalated between the boron sheets and ionically bound to the boron atoms.

Catalysts and processes designed to convert DME and/or methanol and hydrogen (H) to desirable liquid fuels are described. These catalysts produce the fuels efficiently and with a high selectivity and yield, and reduce the formation of aromatic hydrocarbons by incorporating Hinto the products. Also described are process methods to further upgrade these fuels to higher molecular weight liquid fuel mixtures, which have physical properties comparable with current commercially used liquid fuels.
