• This mini-review is to commemorate Renato Ugo introducing a brief overview of our research on gold conducted in his University. Discovering the versatile catalytic power has signed milestone green chemistry. Gold recently proven be ideal candidate cancer therapy thus expanding biomedicine. The once-believed inert metal eventually found its first large-scale application chemical industry. prof...

Abstract Biodiesel is produced on a large scale as an eco‐friendly substitute and additive to fossil fuels. Catalytic homogeneous processes using strong acids, alkalis, natural oils have been realized in industry. However, these traditional methods several disadvantages, such the generation of volumes waste, high water reagent needs, use hazardous reagents, operation costs, utilization valuable...

Abstract Catalytic conversion of CO 2 into chemicals and fuels is a viable method to reduce carbon emissions achieve neutrality. Through thermal catalysis, electrocatalysis, photo(electro)catalysis, can be converted wide range valuable products, including CO, formic acid, methanol, methane, ethanol, acetic propanol, light olefins, aromatics, gasoline, as well fine chemicals. In this mini-review...
