Catalysts, Volume 13, Issue 4

Hydrogen is considered one of the most important forms of energy for the future, as it can be generated from renewable sources and reduce CO2 emissions. In this review, the different thermochemical techniques that are currently used for the productio...

This review article provides current developments in SnO2 quantum dots (QDs) as effective catalysts over the last five years. SnO2 QDs are exceptional prospects for catalytic applications because of their high surface area, compact size, and tunable...

Photoactive TiO2 materials based on a C@TiO2 core-shell structure synthesized according to the bottom-up strategy using a spherical resin core were presented in relation to commercial TiO2 (P25) used as a reference material. The studied TiO2 material...

Laccases are industrially relevant enzymes that are known for the wide variety of substrates they can use. In recent years, fungal laccases have been progressively replaced by bacterial laccases in applied contexts due to their capacity to work on ha...

In this study, ZnFe2O4 and ZnO-ZnFe2O4 catalysts were prepared using the glycine–nitrate process (GNP). The prepared ZnFe2O4 and ZnO-ZnFe2O4 catalyst powders were characterized using a scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microsc...

Acetonitrile is commonly used as an organic solvent and can also be used as an important intermediate in organic synthesis. Its widespread use has led to the development of new methods for the synthesis of a variety of important compounds. In the pas...

The divergent reactivity of D-A cyclopropane, under PTC conditions, is herein reported. Thus, a ring-opening or a decyanation reaction can be achieved by reacting 2-arylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarbonitriles 1 with thioacetic acid in different reaction con...

Arylsulfatases exhibit great potential in industry for desulfation applications, but less is known about the metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) fold arylsulfatases. To learn more about them, an MBL fold arylsulfatase from Pseudoalteromonas atlantica T6c...

Dyes, antibiotics, heavy metal ions, and bacteria are important sources of water pollution. How to solve these issues has become a problem in the fields of science and technology. People have developed a variety of technologies to treat pollutants in...

The potential energy surfaces of the reactions involved in the catalytic cleavage of 2-phenoxy-1-phenylethanol, a model of the β-O-4 linkage in lignin, by (iprPCP)-Ir, (iprPCOP)-Ir, (iprPCP)-Co and (iprPCOP)-Co complexes have been studied using...
