Methane oxidation activity and nanoscale characterization of Pd/CeO2 catalysts prepared by dry milling Pd acetate and ceria
(2021-03-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe milling of Palladium acetate and CeO2 under dry conditions results in robust, environmentally friendly catalysts with excellent methane oxidation activity. These catalysts show superior performance compared to those ... -
Recycled low-density polyethylene for noninvasive glucose monitoring: a proposal for plastic recycling that adds technological value
(2020-08-24)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work, we present a successful strategy to convert recycled LDPE films, which usually end up in landfills or leak into the environment, into an advanced biomedical product. More specifically, LDPE films for food ... -
Phosphorous incorporation in Pd2Sn alloys for electrocatalytic ethanol oxidation
(2020-11-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDirect ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) show a huge potential to power future electric vehicles and portable electronics, but their deployment is currently limited by the unavailability of proper electrocatalysis for the ethanol ... -
A straightforward method to prepare supported Au clusters by mechanochemistry and its application in photocatalysis
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyReducing the metal particle size on semiconductor-based materials from a few nanometers down to well-dispersed clusters or single atoms has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to enhance the photocatalytic ... -
Monoliths washcoated with AuCu catalysts for CO removal in an ethanol fuel processor: Effect of CeO2–SiO2 dual support on the catalytic performance and reactor cost
(2021-01-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCO removal from a syngas was evaluated in a single catalytic unit using structured AuCu/CeO2–SiO2 catalysts. Initially, AuCu/CeO2–SiO2 powder catalysts with several SiO2 loadings (0–100 mol%) were assessed. SiO2 addition ... -
3D imaging techniques for characterising microcracks in cement-based materials
(2021-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyConcrete inherently contains pores and microcracks that can adversely impact its mechanical properties and long-term durability. However, characterising microcracks is difficult due to their complex, multiscale and ... -
Furfural production from xylose and birch hydrolysate liquor in a biphasic system and techno-economic analysis
(Springer, 2020-04-01)
Article
Open AccessFurfural has been highlighted as one of the top ten most rewarding bio-based building blocks by the US Department of Energy. In this study, furfural was produced from xylose and birch hydrolysate liquor employing a batch ... -
Insights into the direct carbonation of activated lizardite: the identification a poorly reactive amorphous Mg-rich silicate phase
(John Gale, 2020-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work aims to shed light on the yet unanswered question regarding the limited carbonation yield of activatedlizardite via direct carbonation. Two amorphous Mg-rich silicate phases were identified upon activation. A ... -
Ceria-based catalysts studied by near ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy: A review
(2020-03-03)
Article
Open AccessThe development of better catalysts is a passionate topic at the forefront of modern science, where operando techniques are necessary to identify the nature of the active sites. The surface of a solid catalyst is dynamic ... -
Assessment of integration of methane-reduced ceria chemical looping CO2/H2O splitting cycle to an oxy-fired power plant
(2020-02-28)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper, we investigated the effect of reaction kinetics and moving bed reactors for chemical looping (CO2/H2O) splitting unit (CL) that produces syngas and fed back to the power plant to gain the efficiency loss due ... -
In situ electrochemical oxidation of Cu2S into CuO nanowires as a durable and efficient electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction
(2019-08-15)
Article
Open AccessDevelopment of cost-effective oxygen evolution catalysts is of capital importance for the deployment of large-scale energy-storage systems based on metal–air batteries and reversible fuel cells. In this direction, a wide ... -
