Because of their extensive use as chemical building blocks, light olefins, such as propylene
(propene) and ethylene (ethene), are among the most important types of compounds in the …

A heterogeneous catalyst is a functional material that continually creates active sites with its
reactants under reaction conditions. These sites change the rates of chemical reactions of …

With growing demand for propylene and increasing production of propane from shale gas,
the technologies of propylene production, including direct dehydrogenation and oxidative …

Nanocarbon is a term increasingly used 1− 9 to indicate the broad range of carbon materials
having a tailored nanoscale dimension and functional properties that significantly depend …

Graphene has attracted increasing attention in different scientific fields including catalysis.
Via modification with foreign metal-free elements such as nitrogen, its unique electronic and …

The surface chemical properties and the electronic properties of vapor grown carbon
nanofibers (VGCNFs) have been modified by treatment of the oxidized CNFs with NH3. The …

There is broad interest in metal‐free catalysis for sustainable chemistry. Carbocatalysis is a
“green” option for catalytic transformations in the gas phase as well as in the liquid phase …

Tremendous progress has been achieved during the past 20 years on not only improving
the yields of carbon nanotubes and move progressively towards their mass production, but …

Non‐oxidative dehydroaromatization of methane (MDA) is a promising catalytic process for
direct valorization of natural gas to liquid hydrocarbons. The application of this reaction in …

The development of green and sustainable transfer hydrogenation protocols without the use
of expensive noble metals and toxic solvents is a challenging task. Herein, a highly stable …
