The catalytic gas phase hydrogenation of m-dinitrobenzene (1 atm, 423 K) over laboratory synthesised (1 mol%) Au supported on Al2O3, TiO2, Fe2O3 and CeO2 and a reference Au/TiO2 (World Gold Council) has been investigated. The catalysts were prepared by dep ...
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 ...
Experimental studies and density functional theory (DFT) computations suggest that oxygen and proton reduction by decamethylferrocene (DMFc) in 1,2-dichloroethane involves protonated DMFc, DMFcH+, as an active intermediate species, producing hydrogen perox ...
Similar to alane in alanates, borane species are assumed to be the mass transport intermediate in the hydrogen storage reaction MH + B + 3/2H2 MBH4 with M = Li and Na. One possible substep of this reaction is the interaction of diborane with the alkali hyd ...

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 ...
The high hydrogen content in complex hydrides such as M[AIH 4]x and M[BH4]x (M = Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca) stimulated many research activities to utilize them as hydrogen storage materials. An understanding of the dynamical properties on the molecular level is im ...
A clear description of the paths of thermal decomposition of complex borohydrides represents a crucial step forward to their utilisation as a reservoir of hydrogen and hence as materials for solid state hydrogen storage. We present in this work a theoretic ...
A hydrogen sensor based on large arrays of nanoswitches in palladium (Pd) is presented. An individual nanoswitch is realized by a suspended Pd/Ti/poly-Si trimorph electrode and a fixed Pd/Ti bottom electrode, which are separated by a vertical nanoscopic ga ...
Owing to their small mass, hydrogen atoms exhibit strong quantum behavior even at room temperature. Including these effects in first-principles calculations is challenging because of the huge computational effort required by conventional techniques. Here w ...
