Butadiene is a crucial chemical, notably for the manufacturing of car tires. The ethanol-to-
butadiene reaction has emerged as a promising solution to both environmental concerns …

Surface reactive oxygen species play a fundamental role in selective oxidation and
combustion reactions catalyzed by metal oxides. Unravelling the nature of these transient …

Screening of various supports reveals that Co catalysts supported on ZrO 2 and Al 2 O 3
show good initial activity for CO 2 methanation. Co/ZrO 2 and Co/Al 2 O 3 catalysts prepared …

Alcohol coupling, also known as the Guerbet reaction, is a potentially important process to
increase the value of short chain alcohols. Metal oxides, metal phosphates, and supported …

Cobalt catalysts supported on TiO2 with different crystal forms (anatase and rutile) differ
sharply in CO2 conversion and product selectivity for CO2 hydrogenation. The Co/rutile …

A series of acid–base amphoteric amorphous Zr (OH) 4 catalysts, synthesized with different
amounts of leached SiO2, were investigated for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of liquid …

Various organic acids were investigated for preparing the highly dispersed cobalt catalysts
on zirconia support, Co/ZrO 2, by an acid-assisted incipient wetness impregnation. The …

The effect of potassium was tested with unpromoted and K-promoted Fe-Al-O oxide and Fe 5
C 2 carbide materials, formed during CO 2 hydrogenation from Fe-Al-O spinel. Each one of …

Li/MgO is one of the most frequently investigated catalysts for the oxidative coupling of
methane. Besides catalytic testing, it is also a suitable system to perform surface science …

Abstract Ternary Ag/Magnesia‐silica catalysts were tested in the direct synthesis of 1, 3‐
butadiene from ethanol. The influence of the silver content and the type of silica source on …
