A procedure for the preparation of semiconductor anodes using mixed-metal oxides bound together and protected with a TiO2 nanoglue has been developed and tested in terms of the relative efficiencies of the oxygen evolution (OER), the reactive chlorin...

α-Fe2O3@porous hollow carbonaceous microspheres (α-Fe2O3@PHCMs) were prepared through a combination of hydrothermal and calcination method. The novel α-Fe2O3@PHCMs integrated the adsorptive and catalytic performances and served as an inexpensive adso...

Mesoporous CuO-ZrO2 catalysts were prepared and calcined at 500 °C. The performance of the synthesized catalysts for benzylation of benzene using benzyl chloride was studied. The bare support (macroporous ZrO2) offered 45% benzyl chloride conversion...

The study is devoted to developing a rather high-efficiency NH3-SCR (selective catalytic reduction) catalyst for NOx removal using TiO2-SiO2 support made from blast furnace slag. Through adjusting hydrolytic pH value of TiOSO4 solution obtained from...

Canola oil was hydrogenated on an industrial nickel catalyst at 180 °C under a wide range of pressures from 1.5 to 21 bar(a). The effect of hydrogen pressure on the hydrogenation characteristics and fatty acids profile was investigated. The hydrogena...

As alternative lubricant anti‐wear additives are sought to reduce friction and improve overall fuel economy, it is important that these additives are also compatible with current emissions control catalysts. In the present work, an oil‐miscible phosp...

The growth of emerging markets, particularly in the Far East, has fuelled the demand for new plastic materials.[...]

One-pot syntheses of diethyl carbonate (DEC) from CO2, propylene oxide and ethanol were carried out using different solid catalysts. The supercritical CO2 extraction method was used to separate the liquid products and reactants from the catalysts aft...

A series of ZrO2 supported Ru-Co bimetallic catalysts were prepared and evaluated for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol. The Ru-Co/ZrO2 bimetallic catalyst combines the advantages of both Ru and Co, exhibiting high activity and good selectivity to 1,2-p...

This review describes new reactions catalyzed by recently discovered types of metal complexes and catalytic systems (catalyst + co-catalyst). Works of recent years (mainly 2010–2016) devoted to the oxygenations of saturated, aromatic hydrocarbons and...
