The addition of Ga to Cu/SiO<sub>2</sub>generates new active sites increasing selectivity methanol. mechanistic implications are studied by<italic>in situ</italic>DRIFTS and kinetic experiments.
A new more general method and guidelines for the implementation of modulation excitation-phase sensitive detection-diffuse reflectance Fourier transform spectroscopy (ME-PSD-DRIFTS).
Hydrogenation of CO2 to C2+ hydrocarbons over non-noble metal catalysts is essential from environmental and economic aspects. However, increasing the selectivity still challenging for Co-based catalysts, as their predominant toward CH4 (>99%). Herein, this work provides insights into mechanism hydrogenation a N-doped Co3O4 (CoNxOy) catalyst with higher conversion (25%) hydrocarbon (42 C-mol%) compared parent material (9% 3 C-mol%, respectively). An increased concentration oxygen vacancies...
Structural modifications of carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CPMO)-functionalized triphenoxymethane platforms are described, and the influence these changes on ability ligand to extract actinides from simulated acidic nuclear waste streams has been evaluated. The system shown have excellent binding efficiency a selectivity for An(IV) in comparison simple monomeric CMPO under analogous conditions. Both extraction strongly dependent flexibility electronic properties ligating units construct....
