The polyoxometalate (POM), H3PW12O40, was postsynthetically incorporated into the metal–
organic framework (MOF), NU-1000. The POM@ MOF composite, PW12@ NU-1000, was …

Support effects in heterogeneous catalysis are evolving as an important field of investigation
to optimize catalyst properties. The cobalt-based Fischer–Tropsch (FT) catalysts usually …

The circularly causal orchestration of bone production and destruction is a part of the
standard model of bone remodeling, but the crystallinity of the bone mineral, which naturally …

In this work, very high acidity niobium oxide was obtained by surface modification with
sulfate groups. This modification increased the Brønsted acidity of niobium oxide and the …

A series of NbCoO x catalysts with different Nb/Co molar ratios were synthesized via a slurry
method to investigate the catalytic activity of oxidizing toluene. Among them, Nb 0.67 Co …

The environmental pollution problem and the dwindling in the crude oil resources have
been driving considerable researches into alternative routes for the production of clean and …

Reductive etherification is a promising catalytic chemistry for coupling biomass derived
alcohols and ketones to produce branched ethers that can be used as high cetane, low …

In solid acid catalysis, understanding the impact of support acidity on catalytic performance
has remained a controversial issue. The selected catalytic systems often rely on mixing …

Four iron-based catalysts supported on niobium oxide (Nb2O5) were prepared by
impregnation and characterized by TPR, FRX, DRX, and textural analysis. The catalysts …

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol of great importance in cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical industry
as well as the production of biopolymers. This work aimed at the synthesis of sorbitol from …
