A heterogeneous catalyst is a functional material that continually creates active sites with its
reactants under reaction conditions. These sites change the rates of chemical reactions of …

Heterogeneous metal oxide catalysts are widely studied for the aerobic oxidations of C1–C4
alkanes to form olefins and oxygenates. In this review, we outline the properties of supported …

Sodium ion batteries are attractive for the rapidly emerging large‐scale energy storage
market for intermittent renewable resources. Currently a viable cathode material does not …

Chemistry with its key targets of providing materials and processes for conversion of matter
is at the center stage of the energy challenge. Most energy conversion systems work on (bio) …

Extremely fast charging (XFC) is currently a crucial technology for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)
for addressing the concerns over the range and charging problems of electric vehicles …

The low cost and profusion of sodium resources make sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) a
potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries for grid-scale energy storage applications …

Heterogeneous catalysis plays a key role in the manufacture of essential products in key
areas of agriculture and pharmaceuticals, but also in the production of polymers and …

While catalyzing the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane, ultradispersed nanodiamonds
(UDD) are transformed into onionlike carbon (OLC, see picture). This surface-activated bulk …

Mesoporous vanadium phosphate (VOPO 4) nanosheets have been successfully
synthesized through an easy and reproducible lyotropic liquid crystals (LLC) templating …

Mesoporous materials have been proved to be meritorious for energy-related applications
by virtue of their high surface areas and tunable porosities. Their interactions with guest …
