Aromatic hydrocarbons are important components of petroleum-based transportation fuels,
biomass, coal, and solid waste, etc. The reaction kinetics of aromatic hydrocarbons largely …

What are the reaction mechanisms responsible for the selective product formation in
catalysis? How can we identify the reactive intermediates steering the reaction towards the …

Catalytic fast pyrolysis is a promising way to convert lignin into fine chemicals and fuels, but
current approaches lack selectivity and yield unsatisfactory conversion. Understanding the …

Clean combustion, ie, the reduction of NOx and soot emissions, and carbon neutrality,
achieved in part by biofuel synthesis, are major milestones in the transition to a sustainable …

Photoelectron spectroscopy has long been a powerful method in the toolbox of experimental
physical chemistry and molecular physics. Recent improvements in coincidence methods …

To enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2, a new preparation method has been
proposed to synthesize the catalysts by introducing Cu-MOF as a precursor and performing …

Recent investigations illustrated that clustering of hydrocarbons by radical-chain reaction
(CHRCR) mechanism provides key mechanistic steps for the rapid synthesis of polycyclic …

We used aerosol mass spectrometry coupled with tunable synchrotron photoionization to
measure radical and closed-shell species associated with particle formation in premixed …

The combustion kinetics of three bio jet fuel compounds farnesane, p-menthane and p-
cymene, derived from natural terpenoids, have been investigated experimentally by an …

Laminar flames are widely used to analyze the fundamentals of combustion processes using
molecular beam mass spectrometry. The extraction of a representative sample from a flame …
