Expert Spotlight | Dr. Shouli Sun: Bridging Catalyst Research and Industrial Application
A catalyst may perform exceptionally well in the laboratory, but its true value is proven under real industrial conditions.
Since joining AOGE Technology as Chief Technical Expert in 2023, Dr. Shouli Sun has focused on turning advanced catalyst research into practical, scalable solutions for customers worldwide.
With a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Tokyo, Dr. Sun brings extensive expertise in heterogeneous catalysis, molecular sieves, material modification, process optimization, and industrial-scale production.
Under his technical leadership, the AOGE team helps customers address challenges such as:
• Catalyst materials that do not align with existing processes
• Low reaction efficiency or insufficient material lifespan
• High costs and unstable lead times for imported materials
• Difficulties transitioning from laboratory results to commercial production
​
By combining operating conditions, performance requirements, and cost considerations, our team develops on-site technical support and tailored solutions.
Catalyst innovation should go beyond promising laboratory data. It should deliver reliable performance, scalable production, and measurable industrial value.
Alpha Alumina Catalyst Support: 750+ Days of Stable Industrial Operation
8/18/2026Â Â News Update
750+ days of continuous industrial operation. No measurable decline in catalyst activity or selectivity.
For high-temperature catalytic systems, catalyst support stability is not just a material property. It directly affects catalyst lifetime, process reliability, and operating cost.
AOGE’s modified α-Al₂O₃ catalyst support has completed more than 750 days of continuous industrial operation in an ethanol-based catalytic system, maintaining stable catalyst activity and selectivity throughout the run.
The performance comes from a combination of structure engineering and chemistry modification designed to address several common challenges in conventional alumina supports:
• Improved resistance to pore collapse under high-temperature thermal stress
• Reduced migration and agglomeration of precious-metal active components
• Better control of surface acid–base properties to suppress unwanted side reactions
• Optimized mass and heat transfer through a tailored pore structure
​
The result is a more stable catalyst platform designed for demanding, long-cycle industrial operation.
Beyond this application, AOGE can tailor alumina support solutions for high-temperature oxidation and metal catalytic systems. Helping customers improve catalyst stability, extend service life, and reduce operating costs.
Performance matters most when it lasts.
Why Can a Catalyst Underperform Even When Every Support Parameter Meets Specification?

Why Can a Catalyst Underperform Even When Every Support Parameter Meets Specification?
Surface area, pore volume, and mechanical strength are essential, but they do not tell the whole story.
Even when a catalyst support meets every specification, the final catalyst may still fall short in activity or stability. Performance also depends on active-component dispersion and the compatibility among the support, formulation, preparation process, and reaction conditions.
At AOGE, we look beyond individual parameters by evaluating pore connectivity, surface chemistry, and process conditions as an integrated system.
Meeting specifications is the starting point. System compatibility is what drives performance.
