The gradual depletion of oil resources and the necessity to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions portray a concerning image of our contemporary security of liquid transportation …

Ruthenium nanoparticles with a core–shell structure formed by a core of metallic ruthenium
and a shell of ruthenium carbide have been synthesized by a mild and easy hydrothermal …

Production of higher alcohols directly from synthesis gas is an attractive chemical process
due to the high value of alcohols as fuel blends and the numerous possibilities for …

Molybdenum carbides were prepared under different carburization conditions. The role of
carburization protocol was studied while their CO hydrogenating performances were …

In this perspective, we argue that carbides of transition metals such as molybdenum and
tungsten hold great potential for the catalytic conversions of future feedstocks due to their …

Abstract The deactivations of Cu–Co alloy nanoparticles supported on ZrO 2 for higher
alcohols synthesis from syngas were investigated. The catalysts after reaction for 200 and …

Abstract Meso–macroporous SiO 2 supported LaCo 0.7 Cu 0.3 O 3 were prepared by
impregnation method and used as catalysts for higher alcohols synthesis (HAS) from …

This exhaustive work in three volumes and over 1300 pages provides a thorough treatment
of ultra-high temperature materials with melting points over 2500° C. The first volume …

Photocatalysis has emerged as a vital tool for purification of waste water and also to obtain
alternate fuels (H 2) through water splitting. TiO 2, ZnO and other non-carbide systems (ZnS …
