Catalysts, Volume 13, Issue 4

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been synthesized using a variety of methods in recent years, and they have shown excellent catalytic activities. However, metal atoms show a high tendency to agglomerate in liquid media, making the single atom synthe...

Under the energy crisis and with greenhouse gases causing an ecological imbalance, biofuel has attracted worldwide attention due to its sustainability and low net-carbon emission. For years, the traditional biodiesel industry has been demanding a hig...

Heterogeneous photocatalysis, due to its high efficiency, safety and profitability, has become an effective technology for solving environmental problems, for example, in wastewater treatment, for the removal of organic pollutants [...]

The development of selective aromatic oxidation catalysts based on non-noble metals has emerged over the last decades, mainly due to the importance of phenol products as intermediates for the generation of pharmaceuticals or functional polymers. In n...

Free enzymes often face economic problems because of their non-repeatability and variability, which limit their application in industrial production. In this study, KDN lipase was immobilized with the macroporous resin LXTE-1000 and glutaraldehyde. T...

Methane, the main component of natural gas, is one of the primary sources of energy extensively employed worldwide. However, the utilization of natural gas is limited by reserves and geographical availability. Thus, a thermochemical method of convert...

The isoselective ring-opening polymerization of rac-LA is a challenging goal. In this work, a series of potassium amidate complexes (K1–K10) were easily prepared and characterized using the 1H/13C NMR spectrum. The molecular structures of potas...

Photocatalytic processes under visible light have constantly been finding more and more applications in organic synthesis as they allow a wide range of transformations to proceed under mild conditions. The combination of photoredox catalysis with met...

2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) is a toxic organic pollutant which is highly threatening to human beings and their living environment. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop sensors for detecting 2,4-DNPH and its metabolites. To deve...

Mn- or/and La-doped CeO2 nanorods supporting Au catalysts were prepared using the hydrothermal method and deposition precipitation (DP) method and applied to the direct oxidative esterification of methacrolein (MAL) and methanol into methyl methacryl...
