Biomass is any organic matter that is renewable over time. In the context of energy, this is
often used to mean plant-based materials, such as agricultural residues, forestry wastes …

Carbothermal reduction could be employed as a facile technology for the synthesis of
various novel materials, especially transition-metal-functionalized nanostructures. In …

Biocatalysts selectively activate chemical bonds via weak interactions; however, this
remains a significant barrier for artificial catalysts. Herein, we report a biomimetic …

It is a challenging task to promote the activity and selectivity of a catalyst via precisely
engineering the microenvironment, an important factor related with the catalytic performance …

RuPd alloy nanoparticles (3.6 nm) uniformly dispersed on N-doped carbon (RuPd/CN) was
prepared via a simple ultrasound-assisted coreduction method. The RuPd/CN is highly …

The initial reaction rates on a per site basis for aqueous-phase hydrogenation (APH) of
different oxygenated compounds: including acetaldehyde, propanal, acetone, xylose …

Despite their wide utility in laboratory synthesis and industrial fabrication, gas–water–solid
multiphase catalysis reactions often suffer from low reaction efficiency because of the low …

N-doped active carbon (N-AC) has been synthesized via heat treatment of a mixture
consisting of dicyandiamide as the nitrogen source and commercial active carbon as the …

A novel N-doped carbon (CN) was prepared by the hydrothermal method using
glucosamine hydrochloride as both carbon and nitrogen precursor, followed by a …

The application of ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) stabilized by the N-heterocyclic
carbenes (NHC) N, N′-di (tert-butyl) imidazol-2-ylidene (ItBu) and 1, 3-bis (2, 6 …
