Phosphate-type supports for the design of WGS catalysts
The importance of water availability during the WGS reaction has been extensively reported. Thus, the search of new supports able to interact with the water molecule is of great importance. In this work, a series of phosphate-type supports containing Ce, Ca and Ti...
Understanding the role of the acid sites in HMF oxidation to FDCA reaction over gold catalysts: surface investigation on CexZr1-xO2 compounds
A series of CexZr1-xO2 supports with different Ce/Zr molar ratios were utilized for the preparation of gold catalyst used in the selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2- furfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. The used method of gold deposition allows the preparation...
Highly Efficient and Environmentally Stable Flexible Color Converters based on Confined CH3NH3PbBr3 Nanocrystals
In this work, we demonstrate a synthetic route to attain methylammonium lead bromide (CH3NH3PbBr3) perovskite nanocrystals (nc-MAPbBr3, 1.5 nm < size < 3 nm) and provide them with functionality as highly efficient flexible, transparent, environmentally stable,...
Pt/CePO4 catalysts for the WGS reaction: influence of the water-supplier role of the support on the catalytic performance
For Pt catalysts which have demonstrated great activity for the WGS reaction, the activation of water is described as the rate-limiting step. Such limitation could be overcome through the design of supports able to supply water. In this study, the hexagonal and...
