Chemoselective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes and ketones over heterogeneous
catalysts is a demanding task. The achieved selectivity levels depend both on the electronic …

Ceria has been the subject of thorough investigations, mainly because of its use as an active
component of catalytic converters for the treatment of exhaust gases. However, ceria‐based …

The selective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes (UAL) to saturated aldehydes (SAL)
and unsaturated alcohols (UOL) is an important industrial process for producing fine …

Indium-oxide (In2O3) nanobelts coated by a 5-nm-thick carbon layer provide an enhanced
photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO and CH4, yielding CO and CH4 evolution rates of …

In this work, ruthenium (Ru) catalysts supported on CeO2 nanorods (NR), nanocubes (NC),
and nanoctahedra (NO) were comparatively investigated to correlate the shape and …

The selective reduction of a nitro group when other reducible functions are present is a
difficult process that often requires stoichiometric amounts of reducing agents or, if H2 is …

Metal–support interaction (MSI) has been widely recognized to be playing a pivotal role in
regulating the catalytic activity of various reactions. In this work, the degree of MSI between …

Nanoparticles of gold on TiO2 are highly chemoselective for the reduction of substituted
nitroaromatics, such as nitrostyrene. By combining kinetics and in situ IR spectroscopy, it has …

Metal nanoparticles have attracted much attention over the last decade owing to their unique
properties, different to their bulk counterparts, which pave the way for their application in …

Highly selective liquid-phase hydrogenation of furfural was efficiently catalyzed by PtFe alloy
nanoparticles supported on CeO2. An initial reaction rate at∼ 1500 h–1, a near 100 …
