For more than half a century, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) of liquid hydrocarbons was a
technology of great potential for the indirect liquefaction of solid or gaseous carbon-based …

The first experiments on catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide were carried out at the
beginning of 20th century. In 1902, Sabatier and Senderens synthesized methane from a …

Aerogels are an exceptional class of materials which are of interest for several high-
performance applications thanks to their extraordinary physical properties such as extremely …

Silica aerogels have received much attention due to their unique nanoporous networks,
which consist of nanoscale connective silica particles and high-volume nanoscale pores …

Silica aerogels have a rich history and offer an unusual assembly of gas-and solid-phase
properties that has lent them to many diverse applications. This review starts with a brief …

Temperature variations of the electron magnetic resonance (EMR) spectra and
magnetization measurements are used to show that Ce3+ ions in concentration≃ 18% are …

The structure of cobalt species at different stages of the genesis of monometallic and Pt-
promoted cobalt alumina-supported Fischer–Tropsch catalysts was studied using X-ray …

Silica aerogels have drawn considerable attention due to their low density (almost 95% of
the total volume is composed of air), hydrophobicity, optical transparency, low conductivity of …

As a new generation of thermal insulation materials, the effective thermal conductivity of
aerogel and its composites is extremely low. The nanoporous structure of aerogels …

Solid siliceous (silica/silicate) materials can substantially contribute to the strategic
decarbonization and defossilization efforts based on carbon capture and utilization (CCU) …
