The replacement of noble metal catalysts by abundant iron as an active compound in CO oxidation is of ecologic and economic interest. However, improvement of their catalytic performance to the same level as state-of-the-art noble metal catalysts requ...

CuCe mixed oxide is one of the most studied catalytic systems for preferential CO oxidation (CO-PrOx) for the purification of hydrogen-rich gas stream. In this study, a series of ceria supports were prepared via a citrates-hydrothermal route by alter...

The photocatalytic transformation of CO2 to valuable man-made feedstocks is a promising method for balancing the carbon cycle; however, it is often hampered by the consumption of extra hole scavengers. Here, a synergistic redox system using photogene...

Activated bentonites are low-cost acid catalysts used in several reactions. However, their application at an industrial scale is affected by the formation of colloidal suspensions when these bentonites are in aqueous solutions. In order to overcome t...

Photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) process can continuously promote the occurrence of Fenton reaction and the generation of active species, which is an advanced oxidation technology for pollutant degradation. However, the lack of bifunctional catalysts restri...

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising candidates for the replacement of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of sodium’s abundant reserves and the lower cost of sodium compared to lithium. This is a topic of interest for developing novel an...

The water pollution caused by industry emissions makes effluent treatment a serious matter that needs to be settled. Heterogeneous Fenton oxidation has been recognized as an effective means to degrade pollutants in water. Attapulgite can be used as a...

A morphological strategy consisting of nanocasting synthesis of nickel aluminate spinel precursor was addressed. Two nanocasted catalysts were synthesized involving different template-removal procedures (i.e., Teflon-assisted calcination vs. NaOH was...

The COVID-19 pandemic has been transformed into one of the main worldwide challenges, in recent years. For controlling symptoms that are caused by this disease (e.g., chills or fever, shortness of breath and/or difficulty in breathing, cough, sore th...

Sodium titanate nanorods were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and subsequently modified with an iron precursor. For comparison, Fe2O3 nanocubes were also obtained through a similar hydrothermal treatment. Pristine, Fe-modified nanorods and Fe2O3...
