The activity of plasmonic Au–TiO2 catalysts for solar hydrogen production from H2O/MeOH mixtures was found to depend strongly on the support phase (anatase, rutile, brookite, or composites thereof) as well specific structural properties caused by method Au deposition (sol-immobilization, photodeposition, deposition–precipitation). Structural and electronic rationale have been identified this behavior. Using a combination spectroscopic in situ techniques (EPR, XANES, UV–vis spectroscopy),...

The best V/Ce1–xTixO2 (x 0.5) catalysts showed almost 100% conversion N2 selectivity already 190 °C with a GHSV value 70000 h–1, which belongs to performances observed so far...
The hydrogenation of CO2 on Rh/Al2O3 catalysts modified with Ni and K was studied by in situ operando DRIFTS spectroscopy comprising transient isotopic exchange experiments to study the influence this modification catalytic performance CO methane formation at 250–350 °C gain mechanistic insight. Catalytic testing spectroscopic studies revealed that particularly promotes being highest over Rh, K, Ni/Al2O3, whereas is preferred unmodified catalyst. It found does not dissociatively adsorb but...
Fluoride's new role: Selective and efficient monoreductions of imides can be achieved with polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) as catalyst (see scheme). The system is characterized by good chemoselectivity, operational simplicity, functional-group tolerance; a concise mechanistic proposal was possible from in situ spectroscopic investigations. Detailed facts importance to specialist readers are published "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed,...
Not a 'B'ore! Benzothiophene-based boronic acids catalyze the reduction of tertiary, secondary, and primary amides in presence hydrosilane. The reaction demonstrates good functional-group tolerance.
Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rates and structural properties as well charge separation, electron transfer, stabilization have been analyzed in advanced sol–gel-derived carbon nitrides (SG-CN) pyrolyzed at different temperatures (350–600 °C) bulk polymeric nitride reference samples (CN) by XRD, XPS, FTIR, UV–vis, Raman, photoluminescence situ EPR spectroscopy. SG-CN show about 20 times higher H2 production than CN. This is due to their porous structure, partial disorder, high surface...
Environmentally friendly and low-cost catalysts are required for large-scale nonoxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propene (PDH) replace currently used CrOx- or Pt-based catalysts.

Abstract Carbon dioxide can be used in various ways as a cheap C1 source. However, the utilization of CO 2 requires energy or energy‐rich reagents, which leads to further emissions, and therefore, diminishes ‐saving potential. Therefore, life cycle assessment (LCA) is required for each process that uses provide valid data savings. incorporated into epoxidized fatty acid esters corresponding carbonates.
