Ni-Based Nanoparticles Catalyzed Hydrodeoxygenation of Ketones, Ethers, and Phenols to (Cyclo) Aliphatic Compounds
Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu, Xiang Li, Yelin Hu, Matthias Beller
Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation is of prime importance in the valorization of biomass-based feedstocks to produce essential chemicals and fuels. To carry out this process in a more cost-effective and sustainable manner, the use of 3D-metal-based nanostructure ...
Washington2023A Cobalt Nanocatalyst for the Hydrogenation and Oxidative Dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles
Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu, Xiang Li, Yelin Hu, Matthias Beller
Catalytic hydrogenation and oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles to produce tetrahydroquinoline and quinoline derivatives are important reactions of particular importance in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Herein, we report earth-abu ...
Weinheim2023A general and robust Ni-based nanocatalyst for selective hydrogenation reactions at low temperature and pressure
Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu, Yelin Hu, Matthias Beller
Catalytic hydrogenations are important and widely applied processes for the reduction of organic compounds both in academic laboratories and in industry. To perform these reactions in sustainable and practical manner, the development and applicability of n ...
Washington2023Selective Acceptorless Dehydrogenation of Primary Amines to Imines by Core-Shell Cobalt Nanoparticles
Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Xinjiang Cui, Matthias Beller
Core-shell nanocatalysts are attractive due to their versatility and stability. Here, we describe cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated within graphitic shells prepared via the pyrolysis of a cationic poly-ionic liquid (PIL) with a cobalt(II) chloride anion. T ...
2020Homogeneous Catalysis for Sustainable Hydrogen Storage in Formic Acid and Alcohols
Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Katerina Stefania Sordakis, Matthias Beller
Hydrogen gas is a storable form of chemical energy that could complement intermittent renewable energy conversion. One of the main disadvantages of hydrogen gas arises from its low density, and therefore, efficient handling and storage methods are key fact ...
2018Recent progress for reversible homogeneous catalytic hydrogen storage in formic acid and in methanol
Gabor Laurenczy, Matthias Beller
Development of technologies using hydrogen as an energy carrier instead of fossil fuels is strongly required today. Especially, new, reversible, sustainable hydrogen storage technologies have received increasing attention. Formic acid (FA) and methanol (CH ...
Elsevier2018Rh(I)-Catalyzed Hydroamidation of Olefins via Selective Activation of N–H Bonds in Aliphatic Amines
Gabor Laurenczy, Yuehui Li, Matthias Beller
Hydroamidation of olefins constitutes an ideal, atom-efficient method to prepare carboxylic amides from easily available olefins, CO, and amines. So far, aliphatic amines are not suitable for these transformations. Here, we present a ligand- and additive-f ...
Amer Chemical Soc2015Base-Free Non-Noble-Metal-Catalyzed Hydrogen Generation from Formic Acid: Scope and Mechanistic Insights
Gabor Laurenczy, Matthias Beller
The iron-catalyzed dehydrogenation of formic acid has been studied both experimentally and mechanistically. The most active catalysts were generated in situ from cationic Fe-II/Fe-III precursors and tris[2-(diphenylphosphino)ethyl]phosphine (1, PP3). In co ...
Wiley-Blackwell2014Chemical Equilibria in Formic Acid/Amine-CO2 Cycles under Isochoric Conditions using a Ruthenium(II) 1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane Catalyst
Gabor Laurenczy, Katerina Stefania Sordakis, Matthias Beller
The equilibrium position in formic acid/amine–CO2 systems has been examined as a function of pressure and tem- perature under isochoric conditions. The homogeneous ruthe- nium(II)-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane catalyst was active in both reactions, that ...
Wiley-VCH Verlag Berlin2014Towards the development of a hydrogen battery
Gabor Laurenczy, Matthias Beller
A novel Ru-catalyzed hydrogenation of carbon dioxide proceeds with an unprecedented high formic acid to amine ratio (AAR of 2.69), which results in an improved energy content. The presented catalyst system allows for reversible fast hydrogen loading (even ...
