Materials based on silicon-phosphorus mixed oxides have traditionally attracted interest in
electronics, optics, catalysis, and related fields. The preparation of a solid containing stable …

The transformation of γ-valerolactone (GVL) into levulinic acid (LA) requires the use of
bifunctional catalysts allowing the hydrogenation and lactonization steps to occur. The aim …

Zr/Si mixed oxides with different amounts of silica (0–50 wt%) were prepared by a simple sol–
gel method. These catalysts were tested in a cascade reaction of furfural and 5 …

Amorphous catalytic materials belonging to the Nb 2 O 5–P 2 O 5–SiO 2 system were
prepared through an original sustainable sol-gel procedure, and characterized by surface …

A calcium phosphate-based material enriched with Sn (8.3 at.%, as revealed by X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy) was successfully used in the reductive adsorption of Cr (VI) to …

Catalytically active membranes are the core components of the membrane reactors.
Polysulfone (PSF) grafted with ionic liquids (ILs), PSF-DG-ILs, was prepared via introducing …

Transition metal phosphates are promising acid catalysts for biorefinery processes, and their
efficiency can benefit from the dispersion in a porous support. Here, a one-pot hydrolytic sol …

Solid acids are the green alternative for heterogeneous acid catalysis, in particular for
industrial processes exploiting biomass. Niobium–phosphorus oxides are valid candidates …

In this work, two acidic Nbsingle bondPsingle bondSi mixed oxide gel-derived materials
characterized by Nb/P molar ratios equal to 2 (5Nb2. 5P) and 1 (2.5 NbP) were investigated …

In this study, niobia-based materials have been used as supports for Pt nanoparticles and
used in the hydrogenation of furfural. The incorporation of dopants (W6+ and Ti4+) in the …
