Tailored pore-confined single-site iron(III) catalyst for selective CH4 oxidation to CH3OH or CH3CO2H using O2
The direct conversion of methane into methanol and acetic acid offers a sustainable pathway for producing high-value chemicals. We achieve this transformation by harnessing a multifunctional iron(III) dihydroxyl catalytic species within a MOF framework, using molecular oxygen as the oxidant.
Roles of Cu(I) in H2O activation for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to C2+ compoundsCO2
Copper is the promising catalyst for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction to ethylene and ethanol, but the working state of Cu is under dispute. The operando spectroscopy confirms the presence of Cu+ in a nanocomposite during CO2RR. The catalyst with Cu+ promotes H2O activation, enhancing C2 formation.
The effects of obesity
One of the unanswered questions about obesity is how it correlates with a myriad of diseases such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis, and various cancers.
