The rate of ammonia synthesis over a nanoparticle ruthenium catalyst can be calculated directly on the basis quantum chemical treatment problem using density functional theory. We compared results to measured rates supported magnesium aluminum spinel. When size distribution particles by transmission electron microscopy was used as link between material and theoretical treatment, within factor 3 20 experimental rate. This offers hope for computer-based methods in search catalysts.
The possibility of using ammonia as a hydrogen carrier is discussed. Compared to other storage materials, has the advantages high density, well-developed technology for synthesis and distribution, easy catalytic decomposition. hydrocarbons alcohols, it advantage that there no CO2 emission at end user. drawbacks are mainly toxicity liquid problems related trace amounts in after Storage metal ammine salts discussed, shown this maintains volumetric density while alleviating handling ammonia....
The removal of trace acetylene from ethylene is performed industrially by palladium hydrogenation catalysts (often modified with silver) that avoid the to ethane. In an effort identify based on less expensive and more available metals, density functional calculations were identified relations in heats adsorption hydrocarbon molecules fragments metal surfaces. This analysis not only verified facility known but nickel-zinc alloys as alternatives. Experimental studies demonstrated these...
The application of templating methods to produce zeolite materials with hierarchical bi- or trimodal pore size distributions is reviewed emphasis on mesoporous materials. Hierarchical are categorized into three distinctly different types materials: crystals, nanosized and supported crystals. For the pure in first two categories, additional meso- macroporosity can be classified as being either intracrystalline intercrystalline, whereas for materials, porosity originates almost exclusively...
From petroleum to bioleum: Since biomass is a limited resource, it necessary consider its best use. The production of select chemicals from biomass, rather than use as fuel, could effectively replace the in chemical industry, but inherent functionality must be exploited (see picture). Detailed facts importance specialist readers are published ”Supporting Information”. Such documents peer-reviewed, not copy-edited or typeset. They made available submitted by authors.

Heterogeneous catalysts have been a central element in the efficient conversion of fossil resources to fuels and chemicals, but their role biomass utilization is more ambiguous. Zeolites constitute promising class heterogeneous developments recent years demonstrated potential find broad use biomass. In this perspective we review discuss that taken place field using zeolites. Emphasis put on lignocellulosic material conventional zeolites as well sugars Lewis acidic produce useful chemicals.

Going for gold: Density functional calculations show how gold nanoparticles are more active catalysts CO oxidation than other metal nanoparticles. The high catalytic activity of nanosized clusters at low temperature is found to be related the ability low-coordinate atoms activate reactants.

The possibilities for establishing a renewable chemicals industry featuring resources as the dominant feedstock rather than fossil are discussed in this Concept. Such use of biomass can potentially be interesting from both an economical and ecological perspective. Simple educational tools introduced to allow initial estimates which chemical processes could viable. Specifically, renewables value chains used indicate where feedstocks optimally valorized. Additionally, C factors that specify...
Abstract The aerobic oxidation of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural, a versatile biomass‐derived chemical, is examined in water with titania‐supported gold‐nanoparticle catalyst at ambient temperature (30 °C). selectivity the reaction towards 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid and intermediate product 5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐furancarboxylic found to depend on amount added base oxygen pressure, suggesting that proceeds via initial aldehyde moiety followed by hydroxymethyl group 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural. Under...
Aerobic exercise: The biomass-derived platform chemicals furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are readily oxidized in methanol the presence of oxygen a supported gold nanoparticle catalyst to afford corresponding methyl esters (see scheme). Thus, was furoate under very mild conditions, HMF converted into furan-2,5-dimethylcarboxylate (FDMC), potential polymer building block, with high yields.
Zeozymes: Sn-Beta zeolite is found to be a highly active catalyst for the conversion of triose sugars. If solvent water, isomerization sugars takes place form lactic acid in 90 % yield at 125 °C. methanol used as solvent, an overall isomerization–esterification reaction and methyl lactate formed quantitative yields 80 This represents one most selective zeolite-catalyzed biomass transformation reactions.

Mesoporous zeolite single-crystal catalysts are shown to be both more active and selective than conventional in the alkylation of benzene with ethene. The superior catalytic properties ascribed improved mass transport mesoporous crystals. Thus, combine high acidity, shape-selectivity, hydrothermal stability zeolites efficient that is typically achieved materials.
Summing Me up: DFT calculations have shown that alloying, subsurface carbon, and hydride formation, all increase the selectivity of Pd catalysts for acetylene hydrogenation by weakening surface–adsorbate bond. A simple descriptor—the adsorption energy a methyl group—has been used to quantify compare different effects in ethylene on various transition-metal surfaces (see picture).
