Matteo Tonezzer, IMEM-CNR, Italy
Resistive sensors based on metal oxide nanostructures are very interesting because they are tiny, simple, cheap to fabricate and to use, possibly low power consuming, and can sense almost any gas. Unfortunately, this last property is not so positive, [....] » Read More
Title : Design of Metal Single-Site Zeolites and their Application in Industrial and Enviromental Catalysis
Stanislaw Dzwigaj, Surface Reactivity Laboratory - Sorbonne University, France
We have earlier shown [1-2] that the incorporation of transition metal ions into vacant T-atom sites of framework zeolite is strongly favored when, in the first step, zeolite is dealuminated by treatment with nitric acid solution and then, in the sec [....] » Read More
Title : Catalysts for Ethylbenzene to Styrene: Challenges & Breakthrough
Palanichamy Manikandan, Clariant Corporation
Styrene is one of the major commodity chemicals/monomers used for the production of different polymeric materials such as polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and styrene-butadiene rubber, which find their use in several segments i [....] » Read More
Title : Conversion of Municipal Solid Waste to Green Energy: A Paramount Concern of the World
Moinuddin Sarker, Waste Technologies LLC, USA
The exponential growth of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) along with its environmental impact is one of the most critical problems that large cities in developing countries face now-a-days. Solid Waste management in developing countries is characterized [....] » Read More

Title : Metal-Protein Hybrid Materials with Emergent Functions
Bassam Nagy Mohammed Saif, Shanxi Normal University, China
Nature is replete with examples of the building up functional nanostructures for a new generation of advanced biomaterials. Metal ion plays an important role in many of these biological systems. The sophisticated functions of metal-binding proteins h [....] » Read More
Title : Chasing Pd active species in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions
Priya Karna, University of Kentucky, United States
Suzuki-Miyaura (S-M) cross-coupling reactions employed with an aryl halide, organoborate, base, solvent, and a palladium (Pd) catalyst are widely employed in the applications of organic syntheses, but the mechanism behind the active species of the ca [....] » Read More
Title : Supercritical Fluids as Reaction Media for Scalable Production of Carbon Nanomaterials
Haider Almkhelfe, Kansas State University, Iraq
We have demonstrated scalable and selective synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNFs), and onion-like carbon (OLC) in a batch reactor using supercritical fluids (SCF) as reaction media. The process utilizes toluene and alcohols ( [....] » Read More
Title : Development of NiZn Bimetallic Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution via Selective Dehydrogenation of Methylcyclohexane
Anaam Al-ShaikhAli, Saudi Aramco, Research and Development Center, Saudi Arabia
Liquid organic chemical hydride is a promising candidate for hydrogen storage and its easy transport. Dehydrogenation of methylcyclohexane (MCH) to toluene (TOL) has been considered as one of the feasible cycles for hydrogen carrier, but selective [....] » Read More
