The photocatalytic CO2 reduction (PCR) into value-added fuels offers a promising solution to energy shortages and the greenhouse effect, thanks to the mild conditions and environmental sustainability. However, the activation of CO2 is challenging bec...

This review provides a state-of-the-art and up-to-date analysis of the design and development of green monopropellant thrusters based on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl ammonium nitrate (HAN) as high-energy compounds for reaction control maneuv...

A mesoporous anatase/silica core–shell nanostructure (ASCS) was synthesized via a sol–gel method at 90 °C, and then cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CdS-QDs) were encapsulated in it, forming CdS-ASCS. The CdS-ASCS was synthesized to enha...

Palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) are transforming the landscape of modern catalysis and offer sustainable and efficient alternatives to traditional catalysts for cross-coupling reactions. Owing to their exceptional surface area-to-volume ratio, PdNPs...

Biocatalytic processes for the formation of bioactive compounds and biopolymer preparations that can be applied in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics are gaining increasing interest due to their safety and sustainability, relying on environmentally friend...

A synthesis of organophosphorus compounds containing an aziridine ring, previously described by our group, has been performed and the catalytic activity of the aforementioned chiral heterorganic compounds has been investigated in the asymmetric nitro...

Zinc-iodine batteries, which have the advantages of low cost, high safety, long lifespan, and high energy density, currently rank as one of the most promising electrical energy storage devices. However, these batteries still face significant challeng...

In this study, we explore the charge transfer mechanism between CuWO4 and CuBi2O4 in a tandem photoelectrochemical cell. Physical–chemical characterization of the individual between CuWO4 and CuBi2O4 electrodes electrode by XRD, XPS, and SEM me...

A magnetic shell-structured nano-catalyst was prepared by self-polymerization of dopamine wrapped by ferric oxide as the carrier, which was loaded with palladium nanoparticles (Pd/PDA@Fe3O4). The presence of magnetic Fe3O4 made it easy for nanoscale...

Developing more effective gold–support synergy is essential for enhancing the catalytic performance of supported gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the gas-phase oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde (AC) at lower temperatures. This study demonstrate...
