Natural gas (NG) is a suitable alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels to decrease the carbon footprint of the mobility and energy sectors. Although NG is considered a fossil fuel, methane (CH4), its main component, can be produced industrially from power ...
The tightening emission regulations have led to the development of commercial DOCs with zoned or layered formulations allowing to cover a wide range of functionalities (i.e. CO, HC and NO oxidation as well as HC or NOx trap). Aging phenomena in such comple ...
The reduction of carbon dioxide to desirable products is an urgent goal in favour of the environment, the energy-cycle and mankind. We report the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to carbon monoxide by means of the ho-mogeneous electrocatalyst (1), [Ru(bpy) ...
Recent advances in the field of nanomaterials demonstrated how their use for vaccination can drastically improve immune responses, mainly by enhancing delivery and uptake of vaccine components. However, our understanding of the connections between presenta ...
The need for efficient and selective catalysts, capable of driving important conversions to build a more sustainable society, encourages the development of synthetic approaches towards new nanomaterials. Cu-based bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) promise to f ...
An optimized approach to producing lattice-matched heterointerfaces for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution has not yet been reported. Herein, we present the synthesis of lattice-matched Mo2C-Mo2N heterostructures using a gradient heating epitaxial growth ...
Water splitting is a promising approach for storing intermittent renewable energies, such as sunlight in the clean chemical bonds as a hydrogen fuel. Two water-soluble octahedral cobalt (III) complexes, [Co(bpb)(OAc)(H2O)], 1, (bpb(2-) = N,N' -bis[(2-pyrid ...
Catalysts consisting of highly dispersed copper on a mesoporous ZrO2 support were synthesised via a one-pot sol-gel synthesis and were tested for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx by NH3. The copper dispersion was investigated by XRD and TEM, which ...
In this study, we report the effects of co-catalysts of Pt nanoparticles and Fe3O4 clusters on photocatalytic behaviors of g-C3N4 (CN) and the use of the resulting photocatalyst for CO2 photoreduction to solar fuels in a flow reactor operated at room-tempe ...
Defect engineering in heterostructured carbon-based electrode materials has evolved as an emerging strategy to boost the electrocatalytic activity. Herein, a facile single-step route is reported to synthesize novel N-coordinated bimetal doped graphitic car ...
