In this study, both vanadium and copper elements were anchored on graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) (denoted as V/Cu/gCN) via a thermal decomposition process as a novel nanosheet photocatalyst for the removal of monocrotophos (MCP). The prepared nanoshe...

The removal of three acid pharmaceuticals—clofibric acid (CLA), diclofenac (DCL), and indomethacin (IND)—by a biological-photocatalytic sequential system was studied. These pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) are considered to persist...

This review provides in-depth coverage of numerous mechanisms available for the etherification process of glycerol, including alcohol solvent, olefin solvent and solvent-free routes along with products that are formed at various stages of the reactio...

Ni-phosphide catalysts on SAPO-11 were studied in the hydrodeoxygenation–isomerization of methyl palmitate (C15H31COOCH3—MP). The catalysts were synthesized using temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) of a phosphate precursor ((NH4)2HPO4...

Metalloporphyrins have been studied as biomimetic catalysts for more than 120 years and have accumulated a large amount of data, which provides a solid foundation for deep learning to discover chemical trends and structure–function relationship...

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also known as hydrotalcite-like compounds, are widely used in many fields due to their unique structural advantages. Based on LDHs, a wide range of metal catalysts could be synthesized with high metal dispersion, tun...

The catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of bio-derived furans offers a promising approach for sustainable aromatic production. ZSM-5 modified by different metal species (Zn, Mo, Fe, and Ga) was employed in the CFP of bio-derived furans for enhancing aroma...

Heteroepitaxial Zn-doped p-GaP was grown on (001) GaAs, (001) Si and (111) Si substrates by hydride vapor phase epitaxy for solar-driven photoelectrochemical applications of hydrogen generation by water splitting and CO2 reduction. Growth of GaP on S...

Five- and six-membered ring lactones and lactams are ubiquitous frameworks in various natural and synthetic molecules and are key building blocks in organic synthesis. Catalytic addition of an O-H or N-H bond across an unactivated C–C double bo...

The tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group is one of the most widely used amine-protecting groups in multistep reactions in synthetic organic chemistry as well as in peptide synthesis. Traditional methods to remove the Boc group have disadvantages in term...
