D-alanine-bridged phosphotungstic acid/UiO-66 hybrids as efficient catalysts for oxidative desulfurization of fuels

Key Points

• Efficient catalysts significantly improve the oxidative desulfurization of fuels, indicating effective removal of sulfur compounds.
• The study shows a remarkable 85% sulfur removal rate using the D-alanine-bridged hybrids in fuels under specific conditions.
• Catalysts were synthesized by combining phosphotungstic acid and UiO-66 frameworks, providing structural stability and catalytic activity.
• This highlights the potential of novel hybrid materials in reducing environmental pollutants in fuel sources.
