Could an efficient WGS catalyst be useful in the CO-PrOx reaction?
This work presents an evaluation of a high performance series of water gas shift (WGS) catalysts in the preferential CO oxidation reaction (PrOx) in order to examine the applicability of the same catalyst for both processes as a first step for coupling both reactions...
Supramolecular Diversity through Click Chemistry: Switching from Nanomicelles to 1D-Nanotubes and Tridimensional Hydrogels
The size and shape of nanoparticles are of prominent importance for their biological activities and for their application as smart drug delivery systems. Thus, synthetic designs allowing divergent synthesis of nanoscale materials with controlled size, morphology, and...
Vertically Aligned Hybrid Core/Shell Semiconductor Nanowires for Photonics Applications
Hybrid nanomaterials formed by a single crystal organic nanowire covered by a semiconducting shell are presented. The methodology is fully applicable to π-conjugated small molecules, different inorganic shell compositions, and processable substrates ranging from...
Photoperiodic Control of Carbon Distribution during the Floral Transition in Arabidopsis
Flowering is a crucial process that demands substantial resources. Carbon metabolism must be coordinated with development through a control mechanism that optimizes fitness for any physiological need and growth stage of the plant. However, how sugar allocation is...
