In the recent paper “An atmospheric origin for HCN-derived polymers on Titan” by Perrin et al. 2021 published in Processes MDPI, we highlighted that the prebiotic HCN molecule is an effective precursor of Titan’s haze and confirmed the HCN-derived polymer nature of...

Nitrous oxide is known as a greenhouse gas and a severe contributor to ozone layer destruction, thus its decomposition into N2 and O2 is a topic of vital interest for catalytic chemistry. The most promising catalytic materials for direct N2O decomposition are based on...

The WGS reaction (CO + H2O → CO2 + H2) is an essential processing step in the industrial production of synthesis gas—one used both to purify and to adjust the H2 composition in important downstream processes such as the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons...
