Effect of catalyst structure on steam reforming of toluene over Ni/La0.7Sr0.3AlO3−δ catalyst
We focused on steam reforming of biomass tar, which is an alternative to fossil fuels and includes toluene-like compounds in its structure....
Low temperature catalytic oxidation of H2S over V2O5/CeO2 catalysts
This research project concerns the abatement of H2S from a biogas stream by partial and selective oxidation to sulphur and water. Hydrogen...
Evaluation and mechanistic investigation of a AuPd alloy catalyst for HC-SCR of NOx
Diesel engines are becoming ever more popular for automotive applications principally due to their higher fuel efficiency. However, the increasingly...
A lithium–oxygen battery based on lithium superoxide
Batteries based on sodium superoxide and on potassium superoxide have recently been reported1, 2, 3. However, there have been no reports of a...
Selective butadiene hydrogenation by Pd nanoparticles
Partial hydrogenation of dienes and alkynes is a reaction of great industrial importance. Butadiene is an impurity in C4 alkenes produced by...
A gas micropreconcentrator for low level acetone measurements
The goal of the project is to carry out fundamental research focused on the development semiconductor, resistive gas sensors based on metal oxides...

Electron attachment to a model peptide, N-methylformamide
Significance: Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) is an electron-induced fragmentation process, occurring at low energies (<15 eV), that...
Reactions of ethanol on Ru(0001)
Surface reactions on metallic surfaces are important for applications as catalysis, fuel cells and capping layers for optics in extreme ultraviolet...
