The search for new catalytic materials has relied on highly time-and human-resource-
consuming procedures. The appearance of theoretical methods that employ density …

Halogen chemistry plays a central role in the industrial manufacture of various important
chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. It involves the reaction of halogens or halides …

Halide perovskite single-crystals have recently been widely highlighted to possess high light
harvesting capability and superior charge transport behaviour, which further enable their …

Natural gas is widely considered as the key feedstock to enable the transition from the oil to
the renewables era. Despite its vast reserves, the use of this resource to produce energy …

Ceria has been very successfully employed in oxidation catalysis, whereas its application in
other reactions has been less intensively investigated. The catalytic activity of ceria can be …

Chlorine (Cl 2) one of the most important base chemicals, is manufactured conventionally by
electrolysis of saturated NaCl solution in chlor-alkali process which suffers from high power …

Soon after the publication of the first pioneering works on heterogeneous photocatalysis, the
number of papers on this topic continuously increased. This intriguing field of research is …

Natural gas contains large volumes of light alkanes, and its abundant reserves make it an
appealing feedstock for value-added chemicals and fuels. However, selectively activating …

Methanol decomposes on oxides, in particular CeO 2, producing either formaldehyde or CO
as main products. This reaction presents structure sensitivity to the point that the major …

For real-time environmental monitoring and gas detection under harsh conditions, gas
sensors with high reliability, sensitivity, and selectivity are in increasing demand. Therefore …
