There is significant environmental concern about chlorinated organic compounds (COCs) in wastewater, surface water, and groundwater due to their low biodegradability and high persistence. In this work, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (124-TCB) was selected as...

Recent studies have highlighted the therapeutic and ergogenic potential of the ketone body ester, (R)-3-hydroxybutyl-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate. In the present work, the enzymatic synthesis of this biological active compound is reported. The (R)-3-hydroxy...

Molybdenum phosphide (MoP) catalyzes the hydrogenation of CO, CO2, and their mixtures to methanol, and it is investigated as a high-activity catalyst that overcomes deactivation issues (e.g., formate poisoning) faced by conventional transition metal...

In this work, a detailed computational study on a recently synthetized Mn(I)-dependent complex [(tBuPNNOP)Mn(CO)2]+ is reported. This species promotes the dehydrogenation of formic acid to carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The here proposed catalytic cycl...

In recent years, we have experienced extreme climate changes due to the global warming, continuously impacting and changing our daily lives. To build a sustainable environment and society, various energy technologies have been developed and introduce...

This article presents an overview of the reports on the doping of TiO2 with carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, including single, co-, and tri-doping. A comparison of the properties of the photocatalysts synthesized from various precursors of TiO2 and C, N...

Rare ginsenoside Rh2 exhibits diverse pharmacological effects. UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) catalyzed glycosylation of protopanaxadiol (PPD) has been of growing interest in recent years. UDP-glycosyltransferase Bs-YjiC coupling sucrose synthase in o...

This work focuses on the support effect of the performances of Co based catalysts for acetic acid steam reforming. SBA-15, a well ordered hexagonal mesoporous silica structure, and CeO2 have been selected as the supports, with the impact of chromium...

A biocatalytic cascade system using a cocktail of oxidoreductase enzymes (2-1B peroxidase and M120 laccase) was designed for the allylic oxidation of (+)-α-pinene into value-added products (e.g., verbenol and verbenone). The oxidative transform...

Novel flower-shaped C-dots/Co3O4{111} with dual-reaction centers were constructed to improve the Fenton-like reaction activity and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) conversion to sulfate radicals. Due to the exposure of a high surface area and Co3O4{111} facet...
