Kröcher Group
GroupSummary
The Group of Krocher (GR-KRO) at EPFL focuses on developing highly efficient catalytic processes for the conversion of CO2 and biomass to biofuels. Led by Prof. Oliver Krocher, the group targets the production of sustainable fuels through thermochemical and catalytic routes, aiming to optimize the use of biomass for liquid fuel production. Their research includes the synthesis of oxygen-containing biofuels from biomass and the development of catalysts for biofuel synthesis. Prof. Krocher, an adjunct professor at EPFL, has a background in catalysis for energy conversion processes and has received prestigious awards for his work in catalysis and resource conservation.

The simultaneous Selective Catalytic Reduction of N2O and NO over Fe-exchanged zeolites
Iron-exchanged zeolites are industrial heterogeneous catalysts deployed to remediate anthropogenic emissions of both nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2). Despite the extensive scientific attention received, limited knowledge is availab ...
EPFL2024Assessing the effect of O2 dithering on CH4 oxidation on Pd/Al2O3
Under periodic lean/rich operation generated by repeated O2 pulses (O2-dithering), the abatement of CH4 and NO is enhanced compared to static operation. However, it is not well understood how the dithering parameters (pulse amplitude and frequency) affect ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2023Organocatalytic Enantioselective Pictet–Spengler Reaction of α‐Ketoesters: Development and Application to the Total Synthesis of (+)‐Alstratine A
Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Rémi Julien Sylvain Andres, Fenggang Sun
We report herein an asymmetric Pictet– Spengler reaction of α-ketoesters. In the presence of a catalytic amount of simple alanine-derived squaramide and p-nitrobenzoic acid, reaction of tryptamines with methyl 2-oxoalkanoates afforded the corresponding 1- ...
