We present a strategy to precisely tune the local structure of the tetrahedrally coordinated titanium (Ti) sites incorporated in the zeolite framework via a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis with the aid of NH4F without any further postmodification step.

Fe/Ni-supported carbon nanotubes derived from carbon dioxide (CO₂) are implemented as working electrodes in the featuring cell for both anode and cathode. Therefore, this system has been applied simultaneously for the electrochemical synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid from hydroxymethylfurfural and the electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂), as reported by Chularat Wattanakit and co-workers in their Research Article.

Aggregated Cu clusters were redispersed into smaller size from ~7.5 to ~ 2.5 nm during inter-zeolite transformation of FAU into BEA type zeolite. Superior catalytic bioethanol dehydrogenation reaction into acetaldehyde was promoted by redispersed Cu nanoparticle on tranformed BEA zeolite. This work showcase on the sustainable design of catalyst for use in sustainable catalytic process of bioethanol upgrading.

This work present fine-tuning the degree of NiOOH deposited on graphene oxide for HMF electrooxidation to FDCA by treating electrodes in alkaline solution with positive potential at different durations. Enhancing the portion NiOOH on electrocatalyst surfaces improve: activity stability. In addition, the theoretical study has been applied to understand reaction mechanisms on NiOOH surfaces.

Isolated Ti(TV)-zeolites have been rationally designed. The different aluminium topological densities of various zeolite frameworks lead to the creation of different degrees of vacant sites for hosting Ti(IV) active sites. The more vacancies in the host zeolite structure, the more isolated tetrahedrally coordinated Ti(IV) can be increased, especially in the BEA framework, eventually enhancing the catalytic performance in methyl oleate epoxidation towards methyl-9,10-epoxystearate.

Ni-decorated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) derived from ethanol for electrooxidation of furan derivatives featuring H2 production. Ni-decorated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) derived from bioethanol utilized in electrochemical processes allowed simultaneous biorefinery upgrade with hydrogen production. This innovative and efficient approach integrates green CNT electrodes for clean energy, encouraging valuable chemical production from furan derivatives.

This work illustrates how different morphologies of highly acidic ZSM-5 zeolite control the product distribution of ethanol dehydration. It is found that very thin nanolayers of this zeolite with a large external surface area and abundant mesopores enhance the ethylene yield up to 95% with a high longevity.

This work demonstrates direct conversion of glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural as an essential pathway in biorefineries. Bifunctional hafnium (Hf)-substituted Beta zeolites containing isolated Hf species as Lewis acid sites in the simultaneous presence of fine-tuning Brønsted acid sites, enable superior catalytic activity and stability under mild conditions, evidenced by experimental and computational results.

The one-pot transformation of biomass-derived compounds into high added-value products via simultaneous electrooxidation/reduction has been achieved by combining bipolar electrochemistry with bifunctional Pt/Au Janus electrocatalysts. This synergy allows the production of furfuryl alcohol and furoic acid from furfural as a model starting compound

Chiral imprinted mesoporous Pt-Ir supported on Ni foam was used to synthesize chiral compounds based on a heterogeneous catalysis approach. Fine-tuning the experimental conditions allows achieving high enantiomeric excess of one stereoisomer.

We demonstrate the concept of developing a nanostructured chiral-imprinted metal alloy that not only exhibits very pronounced enantioselectivity, but also has a significantly increased stability when used as an electrode material for the synthesis of chiral molecules.

In this contribution, we propose mesoporous chiral imprinted nickel as an alternative cheap and earth-abundant metal. The designed surface layers not only demonstrate electrochemical discrimination between two enantiomers, but most importantly also allow stereospecific electroreduction of a prochiral compound, with very significant enantioselectivity of up to 80% ee. These results open up very promising perspectives for the development of low-cost non-noble-metal matrices for the synthesis of chiral compounds.
