Catalysts, Volume 12, Issue 7

We report herein sharp physical evidence, i.e., single-crystal X-ray diffraction and 1H-NMR spectral data, confirming that quaternary ammonium species interact with anions via a set of directional ion–dipole cooperative +N-C-H unusual H-bonding...

We introduce a microwave (MW)-assisted heterogeneous catalytical setup, which we carefully examined for its thermal and performance characteristics. Although MW-assisted heterogeneous catalysis has been widely explored in the past, there is still nee...

In this work, photocatalytic performance is divulged in the ternary CuO-Ag-ZnO nanowire synthesized via a two-step approach. The decoration of Ag and CuO nanostructures onto the surface of ZnO nanowires was simply carried out by using the plasma elec...

Due to the insufficient stability and expensive price of commercial precious metal catalysts like Pt/C and IrO2, it is critical to study efficiently, stable oxygen reduction reaction as well as oxygen evolution reaction (ORR/OER) electrocatalysts of...

Biochar (BC) based materials are solid carbon enriched materials produced via different thermochemical techniques such as pyrolysis. However, the non-modified/non-activated BC-based materials obtained from the low-temperature pyrolysis of biomass can...

A series of porphyrin-based ionic complexes were prepared through the reaction of two porphyrin precursors, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)porphyrin H2TPhPyP (1) and trans-dihydroxo [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)porphyrinato]tin(I...

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is paid much more attention because of the high overpotential required for driving the four-electron process in the field of storage and sustainable energy conversion, including fuel cell applications. In this pape...

Excessive concentrations of nitrate (NO3-N) in water lead to the deterioration of water quality, reducing biodiversity and destroying ecosystems. Therefore, the present study investigated NO3-N removal from simulated wastewater by nanoscale zero-vale...

We have studied the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide using a catalytic system consisting of palladium supported on silica bifunctionalized with sulfonic acid groups and bromide in the absence of acid and halide promoters in solution. Catalysts w...

In recent years, structured phospholipids (SPLs), which are modified phospholipids (PLs), have attracted more attention due to their great potential for application in the field of pharmacy, food, cosmetics, and health. SPLs not only possess enhanced...
