This critical review focuses on recent advances in the bio-inspired synthesis of metal
nanomaterials (MNMs) using microorganisms, viruses, plants, proteins and DNA molecules …

This review describes the recent advances in the fabrication, characterization and
applications of palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs)/complexes supported on polymers …

Nature has inspired scientists to develop green and sustainable nanomaterials with
biomimetic functions. Particularly, biomimetic metallic nanostructures (biometal NPs) with …

Palladium (Pd) is a key component of many catalysts. Nanoparticles (NPs) offer a larger
surface area than bulk materials, and with Pd cost increasing 5-fold in the last 10 years, Pd …

Oxidation reactions may be considered as the heart of chemical synthesis. However, the
indiscriminate uses of harsh and corrosive chemicals in this endeavor are threating to the …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used as metal-free catalysts for selective oxidation of
benzyl alcohol (BzOH) to benzaldehyde (BzH) with molecular oxygen as the terminal …

A porous V/SiO 2 sphere composite (VO X@ SiO 2) was synthesized using one-step sol-gel
method. Benefiting from the redox properties of vanadium and the hydrophilic property, VO …

A green bioreductive approach with Cacumen Platycladi (CP) extract was adopted to
fabricate bimetallic Au–Pd/TiO2 catalysts for solvent-free oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BzOH) …

In this work, modification of graphitic carbon nitride photocatalyst with acid was
accomplished with a facile method through reflux in different acidic substances. The gC 3 N …

Researchers normally consider MgO as a promising high-surface-area heterogeneous
catalyst support, additive, and promoter for many kinds of chemical reactions due to its …
