Single-site ruthenium catalyst supported on zeolite for CO2 hydrogenation to methyl formate

Paul Joseph Dyson, Xunhui Wang, Roland Christopher Turnell-Ritson, Victor Carle Adrien Boureau

Technologies for the transformation of atmospheric CO2 to useful chemicals, such as formic acid (FA), are essential to combatting excessive fossil fuel use and will need to be implemented on large scale. However, hydrogenation of CO2 to (base-free) FA is c ...

Unveiling the Roles of Pt and CeO2 during Solvent-Free Amide Hydrogenation Utilizing Operando Photoelectron Photoionization Coincidence Spectroscopy

Paul Joseph Dyson, Xinbang Wu, Roland Christopher Turnell-Ritson

The hydrogenation of amides to amines is an important reaction in the synthesis of building blocks in organic chemistry. However, the solvent-free hydrogenation of amides (requiring heterogeneous catalysts and high reaction temperatures) is challenging, wi ...

Cation reactivity inhibits perovskite degradation in efficient and stable solar modules

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson, Roland Christopher Turnell-Ritson, Kangning Zhao, Keith Gregory Brooks

Perovskite solar modules (PSMs) show outstanding power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), but long-term operational stability remains problematic. We show that incorporating N,N-dimethylmethyleneiminium chloride into the perovskite precursor solution formed d ...

Controlling Tin Halide Perovskite Oxidation Dynamics in Solution for Perovskite Optoelectronic Devices

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Aurélien Bornet, Roland Christopher Turnell-Ritson, Guixiang Li

As a leading contender to replace lead halide perovskites, tin-based perovskites have demonstrated ever increasing performance in solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). They tend to be processed with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent, which has been ...

The predictive capacity of in vitro preclinical models to evaluate drugs for the treatment of retinoblastoma

Paul Joseph Dyson, Irina Sinenko, Roland Christopher Turnell-Ritson

Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood cancer of the eye. Of the small number of drugs are used to treat retinoblastoma, all have been repurposed from drugs developed for other conditions. In order to find drugs or drug combinations better suited to the improv ...

Tuning 2D Perovskite Passivation: Impact of Electronic and Steric Effects on the Performance of 3D/2D Perovskite Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson, Roland Christopher Turnell-Ritson, Ümmügülsüm Günes, Hiroyuki Kanda

Surface passivation with 2D perovskites is a powerful strategy to achieve improved stability and performance in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Various large organic cations have been successfully implemented, led by phenylethylammonium (PEA+) and its deriv ...

Influence of an Organic Salt-Based Stabilizing Additive on Charge Carrier Dynamics in Triple Cation Perovskite Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson, Yong Ding, Bin Ding, Roland Christopher Turnell-Ritson

Besides further improvement in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSC), their long-term stability must also be ensured. Additives such as organic cations with halide counter anions are considered promising candidates to addres ...

Design of Frustrated Lewis Pair Catalysts for Direct Hydrogenation of CO2

Paul Joseph Dyson, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Roland Christopher Turnell-Ritson, Shubhajit Das

Despite recent progress in the chemistry of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs), direct FLP-catalyzed hydrogenation of CO2 remains elusive. From a near-infinite array of plausible Lewis pairs, it is challenging to identify individual combinations that are approp ...
