Fast pyrolysis converts> 60 wt% of lignocellulosic materials into bio-oil. The two-step bio-oil
hydrotreatment concept has had a major impact in the development of bio-oil hydro …

Solvent molecules interact with reactive species and alter the rates and selectivities of
catalytic reactions by orders of magnitude. Specifically, solvent molecules can modify the …

Solvent molecules influence the reactions of molecular hydrogen and oxygen on palladium
nanoparticles. Organic solvents activate to form reactive surface intermediates that mediate …

Solvents not only disperse reactants to enhance mass transport in catalytic reactions but
also alter the reaction kinetically. Here, we show that the rate of benzaldehyde …

Chemical kinetic modeling in heterogeneous catalysis is advancing in its ability to provide
qualitatively or even quantitatively accurate prediction of real-world behavior because of …

Abstract Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have become a research hotspot in the field of
hydrogenation reactions due to their tunable pore size, structural diversity, large specific …

There is broad interest in metal‐free catalysis for sustainable chemistry. Carbocatalysis is a
“green” option for catalytic transformations in the gas phase as well as in the liquid phase …

Reaction pathways and kinetics governing the Ru-catalyzed hydrogenation of levulinic acid
(LA) in the aqueous phase to form γ-valerolactone (GVL) were considered in a packed bed …

Solvents are crucial components in specialty chemical and pharmaceutical industries and in
electrochemical and photoelectrochemical processes, and are increasingly being used in …

Adsorption energies have significant value as predictors of catalytic performance. An
important method of increasing efficiency of adsorption energy calculations is to employ …
