Biodiesel has attracted significant attention as a potential renewable and environmentally
friendly substitute for petroleum-derived diesel fuel. Conventionally, commercial biodiesel is …

Dwindling oil reserves, concerns over climate changes related to CO 2 emissions, and
increasing demands on energy have intensified the interest and efforts in the utilization of …

Oxygen activation is a key step in the catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) at room
temperature. In this study, we synthesized a carbon/Co3O4 nanocomposite (C-Co3O4) as a …

Layered double oxides (LDOs) can restore the parent layered double hydroxides (LDHs)
structure under hydrous conditions, and this “memory effect” plays a critical role in the …

Basic catalysis! The basic properties of hydrotalcites (see picture) make them attractive for
numerous catalytic applications. Probing the basicity of the catalysts is crucial to understand …

CO2 is a promising renewable, cheap, and abundant C1 feedstock for producing valuable
chemicals, such as CO and methanol. In conventional reactors, because of thermodynamic …

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) consist of positively-charged metal hydroxide layers and
negatively-charged anions and water in the interstitial layers. Due to the unique properties of …

A series of [Mg (1− x) Alx (OH) 2] x+ (CO3) x/n2− hydrotalcite materials with compositions
over the range x= 0.25–0.55 have been synthesised using an alkali-free coprecipitation …

The heterogeneous base-catalyzed transesterification for biodiesel synthesis has been
studied intensively over the last decade. This review classifies the solid base catalysts for …

Abstract The synthesis of buta‐1, 3‐diene from ethanol has been studied over metal‐
containing (M= Ag, Cu, Ni) oxide catalysts (MOx= MgO, ZrO2, Nb2O5, TiO2, Al2O3) …
