Key similarities and differences of Pd and Ni in catalytic systems are discussed. Overall, Ni
and Pd catalyze a vast number of similar C–C and C–heteroatom bond-forming reactions …

The ever increasing industrial production of commodity and specialty chemicals inexorably
depletes the finite primary fossil resources available on Earth. The forecast of population …

Carbon-based materials are widely employed as metal-free catalysts or supports in
catalysis, energy, and ecological applications because of their interesting properties …

The use of lignocellulosic biomass in the chemical industry has increased due to its non-
competition with the food sector. Several platform molecules can be produced from this …

The use of 3d metals in de/hydrogenation catalysis has emerged as a competitive field with
