Indium-based catalysts exhibit excellent performance for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, yet their nature and chemical evolution under reaction conditions are still elusive, thus hindering an understanding of their reaction mechanism. In this work, near amb ...
Reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) is widely used to identify molecular adsorbates on metals during surface chemical reactions, but the interpretation of RAIRS data can be difficult with experiment alone. Here, we reveal from first-princip ...
A detailed investigation of the electrical resistivity of a series of monovalent (Ag) doped polycrystalline La1−xAgxMnO3 pellets with x ranging from 0.05 to 0.30 and measured over the temperature range between 10 and 350 K is reported. La1−xAgxMnO3 compoun ...
The direct and solvent-free synthesis of yttrium borohydride was achieved by reactive ball milling of yttrium hydride in diborane/hydrogen atmosphere. The product contains only the solid elemental hydride as remaining contaminant. Yields above 75% were obt ...
It is demonstrated here that three different alpha-amino N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs), including for the first time O-benzyl-L-threonine NCA, can be polymerized in a controlled/"living" fashion without the need for transition metal catalysts or complex custo ...
This study addresses the development of a compact reactor for oxidative steam-reforming of methanol (OSRM) to produce hydrogen in autothermal mode for fuel cells. The string reactor uses catalytically active brass wires with a diameter of 500 mu m placed i ...

Novel micro-structured string-reactor designed as catalytically active wires placed in parallel into a tube was developed. The small diam. of the channels (.apprx.100 mm) leads to a short radial diffusion time, a narrow residence time distribution, and a l ...
Inkjet printing of 8% Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) thin films is achieved by designing a novel water-based reactive ink for Drop-on-Demand (DoD) inkjet printing. The ink formulation is based on a novel chemical strategy that consists of a combination of meta ...
Hybrid (organic-inorganic) multication lead halide perovskites hold promise for a new generation of easily processable solar cells. Best performing compositions to date are multiple-cation solid alloys of formamidinium (FA), methylammonium (MA), cesium, an ...
Recent work shows that nanoparticulate and amorphous molybdenum and tungsten sulfide materials are active catalysts for hydrogen evolution in aqueous solution. These materials hold promise for applications in clean hydrogen production technologies. In this ...
