Enhanced Visible-Light-Driven Hydrogen Production through MOF/MOF Heterojunctions

Berend Smit, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Fatmah Ebrahim, Kyriakos Stylianou, Christopher Patrick Ireland, Maria Fumanal Quintana, Stavroula Kampouri

A strategy for enhancing the photocatalytic performance of MOF- based systems (MOF: metal-organic framework) is developed through the construction of MOF/MOF heterojunctions. The combination of MIL-167 with MIL-125-NH2 leads to the formation of MIL-167/MIL ...

A polymeric ionic liquid catalyst for the N-formylation and N-methylation of amines using CO2/PhSiH3

Paul Joseph Dyson, Andreas Züttel, Zhaofu Fei, Serhii Shyshkanov, Kyriakos Stylianou, Arunraj Chidambaram, Aswin Gopakumar, Dmitry Vasilyev

We describe a polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) derived from trimethyl(p-vinylbenzyl)ammonium chloride ([VBTAm]Cl) that efficiently catalyzes the N-formylation of amines employing CO2 and PhSiH3 at room temperature with low catalyst loadings in near-quantitativ ...

Sustainable Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes to Anilines with Highly Active in-situ Generated Copper Nanoparticles

Berend Smit, Mounir Driss Mensi, Kyriakos Stylianou, Ngoc Tú Nguyên, Christopher Patrick Ireland, Fatma Pelin Uran

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) are usually stabilized by a capping agent, a surfactant, or a support material, to maintain their integrity. However, these strategies can impact their intrinsic catalytic activity. Here, we demonstrate that the in-situ formation ...

Sustainable Capture of Aromatic Volatile Organic Compounds by a Pyrene-Based Metal-Organic Framework under Humid Conditions

Kyriakos Stylianou, Andrzej Gladysiak, Bardiya Valizadeh, Sylvain Alexandre Marie Sudan

The threat posed by the presence of artificial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the environment is a widely acknowledged fact, both for environmental issues and human health concerns. Ever-increasing production requires the continuous development of te ...

Unraveling the synergy between metal-organic frameworks and co-catalysts in photocatalytic water splitting

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta, Kyriakos Stylianou, Stavroula Kampouri, Patrick Gono, Zhendong Guo

We investigate the synergy occurring in photocatalytic water splitting between the metal-organic framework MIL-125-NH(2)and two co-catalysts, namely NiO and Ni2P, by calculating their band edge alignment with respect to the redox levels of liquid water. Fo ...
