The study of an activation process in carbons for hydrogen storage

Carbon monoxide occurs widely in industry in many roles. It is a feedstock for methanol synthesis and in Fischer-Tropsch chemistry for synthetic petrol and diesel. It is a...

Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the...

Small gold nanoparticles (1-5 nm) supported on metal oxides are extremely active catalysts for C-C coupling, aerobic oxidations and selective hydrogenations. The interaction of...

Raney-nickel type catalysts are some of the most versatile technical agents for efficient hydrogenation reactions. Raney-type catalysts based on Fe, Co, Ru and other metals have...

High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In...

The search for new porous materials is increasingly be driven by socio-economic pressure to diversify our energy supply and minimize environmental impact. Carbon-based...

Although the first patents involving the nickel positive electrode are more than 100 years old, our understanding of the phases involved in this system is still not complete. As...

Vinyl acetate is used on the million tonnes per year scale for the production of various grades of polyvinyl acetate, a component in paper, adhesive and textile applications....

Graphene is defined as a: ‘single layer of carbon atoms with each atom bound to three neighbours in a honeycomb structure’. This suggests that in a macroscopic, manageable...

A key step in a fuel cell is the dissociation of hydrogen gas to provide protons and electrons by a catalyst. For low temperature fuel cells carbon black supported...

Palladium is able to dissociative absorb large quantities of hydrogen, reversibly. However, the formation and relative proportion of different phases of palladium hydride, and...

Finely divided, supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. However, there is still considerable potential to improve catalyst performance...

Building on a successful programme investigating aspects of iron based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts, it is opportune to extend that work to include Co FTS...
