The use of supported Pd nanoparticles is ubiquitous in hydrogenation chemistry. From synthetic organic transformations towards high-value products in the pharmaceutical or fragrance industries to crude biomass processing towards commodity…
The UK Catalysis Hub have published a new edition of Modern Developments in Catalysis with publishers World Scientific. Modern Developments in Catalysis, Volume 2 provides a review and update of current…
Transformative innovations in the science and technology of personalized medicine, energy storage, and clean growth start from achieving atomic and molecular understanding, and then control, of the fundamental (bio)-chemical interactions…
Johnson Matthey, a FTSE 100 company, is a global leader in sustainable technologies specialising in catalysis, precious metal products, chemicals and process technology. With operations in over 30 countries, we…
The development of operando spectroscopic methods and controlled catalyst preparation are both essential tools in understanding the complex properties of catalysts. Heterogeneous catalysts, for example supported metal nanoparticles, are exceedingly dynamic and…
In this work, methanol-to-hydrocarbons, biomass-upgrading reactions and plastic conversion are studied over zeolite catalysts, using vibrational spectroscopy to give mechanistic insight. Raman Spectroscopy can identify carbonaceous surface species during catalysis,…
All cells use sugar, but a consequence of unbalanced sugar usage is disease through hexosamine sugar biosynthetic pathways. To precisely define the roles of hexosamine sugar-driven effects, we designed chemical…
Transition metal atoms isolated in the surface of nitrogen-doped carbon have demonstrated excellent thermocatalytic and electrocatalytic performance, most notably in reactions involving oxygen. In the current work, the low temperature…
I will present selected examples of our efforts in the use of NMR for the analysis of the kinetics and mechanism of processes catalysed by Lewis / Bronsted acids and…
NMR is a highly informative analytical technique, which can provide detailed structural information as well as quantitative information on mixtures in a non-invasive way. Its use in reaction monitoring often…
