      A key step in creating efficient and long-lasting catalysts is understanding their deactivation mechanism(s). On this basis, the behavior of a series of Pd/corundum materials during several hydrogen adsorption/desorption ...
    • Role of the synthesis route on the properties of hybrid LDH-graphene as basic catalysts 

      Alvarez, Mayra G; Tichit, Didier; Medina Cabello, Francesc; Llorca Piqué, Jordi (2017-02-28)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Layered double hydroxides (LDH or HT) or their derived mixed oxides present marked acid-base properties useful in catalysis, but they lead to agglomerate inducing a weak accessibility to the active sites. In this study we ...
    • Synthesis of tungsten carbide on Al-SBA-15 mesoporous materials by carburization 

      Alvarez, Mayra G; Chimentao, Ricardo J; Tichit, D.; Santos, Jeannette B O; Dafinov, Antonio; Modesto Lopez, Luis B; Rosell Llompart, Joan; Gueell, E. J.; Gispert Guirado, Francesc; Llorca Piqué, Jordi; Medina Mena, Francisco (2016-01-01)
