Cover Story: In the context of the development of a circular economy based on the use of renewable resources and efficient energy conversion services, ceria zirconia catalysts have been investigated for the valorization of the greenhouse gases, CH4 and CO2 to obtain syngas (CO/H2) for industrial applications and for use as fuel in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The solid solution Ce0.80Zr0.2O2 when doped with Nd is a suitable support for obtaining Ni-based dry reforming catalysts highly resistant to carbon deposition. Ce and Nd play an important role in the function of carbon removal while Zr promotes methane activation. View the paper here.

Nanostructured dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are promising photovoltaic devices because of their low cost and transparency. Ruthenium polypyridine complexes have long been considered as lead sensitizers for DSSCs, allowing them to reach up to 11...

The illumination direction and temperature can greatly affect the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) when practical non-volatile solvents are used with bulky one-electron redox mediators such as cobalt tris(bipyridine). For higher perf...

  • Edwin C. Constable

Surface-bound heteroleptic copper(I) dyes [Cu(Lanchor)(Lancillary)]+ are assembled using the “surfaces-as-ligands, surfaces as complexes” (SALSAC) approach by three different procedures. The anchoring and ancillary ligands chosen are ((6,...

  • Max C. Holthausen and
  • Shigeyoshi Inoue

Reactivity studies of silyliumylidenes remain scarce with only a handful of publications to date. Herein we report the activation of S–H bonds in hydrogen sulfide by mTer-silyliumylidene ion A (mTer = 2,6-Mes2-C6H3, Mes = 2,4,6-Me3-C6H2) to yie...
