Unbiased Monte Carlo procedures are applied to investigate the structure of Cu clusters of various sizes deposited over reconstructed polar ZnO surfaces. Four distinct reconstructed polar ZnO surfaces (two Zn…
This poster illustrates the adoption and customisation of a process for aligning existing data objects with the FAIR data principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse [3, 6]). This is a preparatory…
Sustainable chemical transformations of renewables for fine chemical synthesis require tremendous activity and high selectivity. Homogeneous/bio-catalysts in aqueous media often suffer from poor substrate solubility, difficult catalyst/product separation and subsequent…
In recent years the quantity of natural gas available has increased significantly due to shale gas production. However, shale gas extraction and processing produce large amounts of wastewater containing high…
The “MAX”-phase of over 100 ternary carbides/nitrides was first identified in the 1960s.1 The nomenclature is an abbreviation of the general formula of these 2D material ‘Mn+1AXn’, whereby M denotes a…
Varied calcination temperature of Mg/Al hydrotalcite catalyst is investigated with the aim of optimizing the catalytic performance by measuring the conversion of furfural. Various physicochemical characterization techniques, for example XRD,…
During the last decade, renewable fuels have become an important focus of research in the energy field. Likewise, building block molecules derived from biomass residues emerge as a sustainable alternative…
Developing efficient methods to treat produced water can mitigate the significant concern caused by shale gas extraction. Among various wastewater treatment methods, catalytic wet oxidation (CWO) has shown promising potential…
Bifunctional zeolite catalysts have been demonstrated to depolymerise polyolefins via hydrocracking, and this work aims to replace expensive and earth-scarce precious metals such as platinum and palladium with earth abundant…
Olefins are among the most abundant and widely available chemical feedstock, indispensable for both the synthetic and biological communities due to their unique reactivity profile. Thus, hydrogenation and hydrofunctionalisation of C-C double bonds…
