Formic acid, containing 4.4 wt% of hydrogen, is a non-toxic liquid at ambient temperature and therefore an ideal candidate as potential hydrogen storage material. Formic acid can be generated via catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 or bicarbonate in the presenc ...
Physico-chem. adsorption of mols. in microporous materials has long been used in industrial processes and significant efforts have been expended in understanding the myriad of structure-property relationships of interest. Efforts are currently being applie ...
The prerequisite for widespread use of hydrogen as an energy carrier is the development of new materials that can safely store it at high gravimetric and volumetric densities. Metal borohydrides M(BH 4) n (n is the valence of metal M), in particular, have ...
Carbon dioxide and the carbonates, the available natural C-1 sources, can be easily hydrogenated into formic acid and formates in water; the rate of this reduction strongly depends on the pH of the solution. This reaction is catalysed by ruthenium(II) pre- ...
We present a novel approach for hydrogen gas detection, based on palladium-coated micromechanical resonators. A sequence of thin film technniques allows the large-scale parallel fabrication of free-standing beams separated from a counter-electrode by a mes ...

The concept of artificial photosynthesis at a polarised liquid membrane is presented. It includes two photosystems, one at each interface for the hydrogen and oxygen evolution respectively. Both reactions involve proton coupled electron transfer reactions, ...
The first enantioselective chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of N-aryl-ortho-hydroxybenzophenone ketimines using a Hantzsch ester as hydrogen source was developed to afford, after removal of the N-aryl group, the corresponding chiral ...
We report a simple chemical-route to BN multiwall nanotubes decorated with nanosheets. These nanostructures have been prepared on a large scale from a simple unique chemical process under an ammonia flow onto the surface of an alumina substrate, using carb ...
