Solvent molecules interact with reactive species and alter the rates and selectivities of
catalytic reactions by orders of magnitude. Specifically, solvent molecules can modify the …

Solvents not only disperse reactants to enhance mass transport in catalytic reactions but
also alter the reaction kinetically. Here, we show that the rate of benzaldehyde …

Solid-aqueous interfaces and their associated phenomena (adsorption, nucleation,
corrosion, catalysis, etc.) are ubiquitous in a multitude of chemical systems linking various …

The relatively cheap and abundant Ni as a catalyst for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of
biomass lignin-derived phenolics at 350° C and atmospheric pressure suffers from …

The open circuit potential (OCP) established by the quasi-equilibrated electrode reaction of
H2 and H3O+ (hydr.), complicates catalytic reactions significantly. The hydrogenolysis rate …

Decrease in the metal dispersion of noble-metal-loaded catalysts with high metal loading is
a major factor reducing noble-metal efficiency. Herein, we investigated the enhancement in …

The selective hydrogenation of benzofurans (BFs) over supported metal catalysts is of
fundamental interest for producing biologically active and pharmacologically relevant …

Biorefinery-derived wastewater is considered a valuable source of energy and chemicals
thanks to its organic loading. However, it is constituted by different compounds which …

Kinetic assessments of cyclohexene and pyridine hydrogenation on metallic Pd and Pt
surfaces covered with chemisorbed sulfur species (H2S*, HS*, and S*) at controlled sulfur …

To capture the dominant interactions (surface-mediated and through-space) in catalytic
hydrodeoxygenation systems, coverage-dependent mean-field models of aromatic …
