The development of new catalyst materials for energy-efficient chemical synthesis is critical
as over 80% of industrial processes rely on catalysts, with many of the most energy-intensive …

Growing apprehensions on greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, and pollution
problems are directly related to fossil fuels consumption. To counteract these environmental …

With increased availability and decreased cost, ethanol is potentially a promising platform
molecule for the production of a variety of value-added chemicals. In this review, we provide …

Ethanol, mainly produced from the yeast fermentation of biomass, is one of the most
important renewable building blocks for synthesizing value-added chemicals. Different …

We examined the formation mechanism of active sites on Cu/ZrO2 specific toward CO2-to-
methanol hydrogenation. The active sites on Cu/a-ZrO2 (a-: amorphous) were more suitable …

The effect of amorphous (am-), monoclinic (m-), and tetragonal (t-) ZrO 2 phase on the
physicochemical and catalytic properties of supported Cu catalysts for ethanol conversion …

Steam reforming of ethanol (SRE) is a strategic reaction for H2 production. However, despite
considerable work, several aspects of the mechanism and catalytic system for this reaction …

While acetaldehyde is industrially produced in the Wacker process by homogeneous
catalysts, a heterogeneous catalyst is so far elusive due to rapid deactivation stemming from …

Well-defined Cu catalysts containing different amounts of zirconia were synthesized by
controlled surface reactions (CSRs) and atomic layer deposition methods and studied for the …

Synthesis gas (syngas), composed primarily of H2 and CO, can be produced from fossil
resources, municipal solid waste, biogas, and terrestrial biomass and can be converted into …
