Engineering active Ni-doped Co2P catalyst for efficient electrooxidation coupled with hydrogen evolution
The thermodynamically favorable electrocatalytic oxidation coupled with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is considered as a sustainable and promising technique. Nonetheless, it remains a great challenge due to the lack of simple, cheap, and high-efficient electrocatalysts. Here, we successfully develop a simple and scalable electro-deposition and ...
Methodology for assessing the maximum potential impact of separations opportunities in industrial processes
Published in Frontiers in Sustainability
Separation technologies currently used in U.S. manufacturing industries are estimated to account for more than 20% of plant energy consumption. However, accurately determining the impact of new separation technology solutions can sometimes be difficult, especially when evaluating a slate of new candidate separation technologies, each of which has i...
Applying Macroalgal Biomass as an Energy Source : Utility of the Baltic Sea Beach Wrack for Thermochemical Conversion
...
Global resource limits and increasing demand for non-fossil energy sources have expanded the research on alternative fuels. Among them, algal biomass is designated as a third-generation feedstock with promising opportunities and the capability to be utilized for energy production in the long term. The paper presents the potential for converting bea...
Assessing the optimal uses of biomass: Carbon and energy price conditions for the Aines Principle to apply
Published in Frontiers in Climate
In the context of climate mitigation, biomass has traditionally been viewed as a means to deliver low-carbon energy products. Adding carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) to a bioenergy production process can yield net-removals of CO2 from the atmosphere, albeit at an increased cost. Recently, the Aines Principle was established, stating that at s...
Targeting Valuable Chemical Commodities: Hydrazine-mediated Diels-Alder Aromatization of Biobased Furfurals.
Published in ChemSusChem
A hydrazine-mediated approach towards renewable aromatics production via Diels-Alder aromatization of readily available, biobased furfurals was explored as alterative to the more classical approaches that rely on reactive but uneconomical reduced dienes (e. g., 2,5-dimethylfuran). To enable cycloaddition chemistry with these otherwise unreactive fo...
Oxidative C−C bond cleavage of lignin via electrocatalysis
Published in Frontiers in Chemistry
Lignin, which is an important component of biomass in nature and is constantly produced in industry, becomes potential raw material for sustainable production of fine chemicals and biofuels. Electrocatalysis has been extensively involved in the activation of simple molecules and cleavage-recasting of complex scaffolds in an elegant environment. As ...
