Multifunctionality of Silver Closo-boranes
As a successor of research based on metal borohydrides, higher boranes are being investigated. Ag2B12H12 and Ag2B10H10 are synthesized and found to...
An experimental assessment of the ammonia temperature programmed desorption method for probing the surface acidic properties of heterogeneous catalysts
The aim of this work was to study the surface acidic properties of oxide catalysts and carriers (g-Al2O3, CeO2, ZrO2, SiO2, TiO2, HZSM5 zeolite),...
Study of the catalyst load for a microwave susceptible catalytic DPF
Motivated by increasingly stringent emissions regulations, Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) have seen widespread use as the only technically and...
Hydrogen Production by Variable Volume Membrane Batch Reactors with Modulated Liquid Fuel Introduction
A novel dynamically-controlled membrane batch reactor, which combines the variable volume operation of CHAMP (CO2/H2 Active Membrane Piston) with...
Symbiotic CeH2.73/CeO2 Catalyst: a Novel Hydrogen Pump
A novel symbiotic CeH2.73/CeO2 catalyst was in situ induced in Mg-based hydrides, leading to remarkably reduced hydrogen desorption temperatures....
Synthesis and hydrogen storage properties of Mg(AlH4)2
Metal alanates are regarded as a very promising group of materials for high-density solid-state hydrogen storage. Therefore, the search for new...
H2S purification from biogas by direct selective oxidation to sulphur on V2O5–CeO2 structured catalysts
Our research project concerns the H2S purification from a biogas stream by direct and selective oxidation to sulphur and water at low temperature....
Direct Octane Fuel Cells: A Promising Power for Transportation
The demand for electric vehicles has inspired extensive efforts to develop solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) for transportation. However, the...
Indium oxide cubes prepared by hydrothermal synthesis as catalysts for CO oxidation
CO oxidation is a reaction of particular interest for catalysis, since this is a model reaction for studying heterogeneous catalysis as well as a...
