Selective Oxidation of 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural to DFF Using Water as Solvent and Oxygen as Oxidant with Earth-Crust-Abundant Mixed Oxides

Selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5- diformylfuran over intercalated vanadium phosphate oxides

Efficient solar water oxidation using photovoltaic devices functionalized with earth-abundant oxygen evolving catalysts.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) surfaces of triple junction photovoltaic cells were functionalized with oxygen evolving catalysts (OECs) based on amorphous hydrous earth-abundant metal oxides (metal = Fe, Ni, Co), obtained by straightforward Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) in an aqueous environment. Functionalization with Fe(iii) oxides gave the best results, leading to photoanode...

Quinone tailored selective oxidation of methane over palladium catalyst with molecular oxygen as an oxidant.

With the in situ generated H(2)O(2) tailored by the addition of p-tetrachlorobenzoquinone, the product can be effectively steered towards either HCOOH or the methanol derivative CF(3)COOCH(3) during the direct oxidation of methane with molecular oxygen over palladium catalyst.

Synthesis of Binary Ti-Si Mixed Oxides Nanoparticles with Rutile Structure as Selective Catalyst for Epoxidation of Alkenes

The nanoparticles of Ti-Si mixed oxides (NTSO) with Rutile structure were prepared by sol-gel method in a mixture of alcohol and water as solvent. The solid product was characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, UV, TGA and laser Raman spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of NTSO (5-10 nm) was investigated in the epoxidation of cis stilbene, trans stilbene, and norbornene by using oxidants such as t...
