Development of Sustainable Carbohydrate-Based Solvents by Acetal Functionalisation of Biomass

Anastasiia Komarova

Organic solvents are ubiquitous in industrial and domestic applications from the production of pharmaceuticals to household consumer products. The negative impact of most traditional solvents, especially aprotic types, on the environment, health, and safet ...

Controlling lignin solubility and hydrogenolysis selectivity by acetal-mediated functionalization

Jeremy Luterbacher, Anastasiia Komarova, Graham Reid Dick

Existing lignocellulosic biomass fractionation processes produce lignin with random, interunit C-C bonds that inhibit its depolymerization and constrain its use. Here, we exploit the aldehyde stabilization of lignin to tailor its structure, functionality, ...

Techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment of a biorefinery utilizing reductive catalytic fractionation

Jeremy Luterbacher

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) is a promising approach to fractionate lignocellulose and convert lignin to a narrow product slate. To guide research towards commercialization, cost and sustainability must be considered. Here we report a techno-eco ...

Exploring Energy Transfer in a Metal/Perovskite Nanocrystal Antenna to Drive Photocatalysis

Raffaella Buonsanti, Mounir Driss Mensi, Anna Loiudice, Seryio Saris

The use of all-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) in photocatalytic systems has been limited because of their instability in polar solvents. Encapsulation of PeNCs in inorganic or polymeric matrices has been shown to be effective in overcoming such ...

Coexistence of two distinct Sulfurospirillum populations respiring tetrachloroethene—genomic and kinetic considerations

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Géraldine Florence Buttet, Alexandra Marie Murray

Two anaerobic bacterial consortia, each harboring a distinct Sulfurospirillum population, were derived from a 10 year old consortium, SL2, previously characterized for the stepwise dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) v ...

Multi-objective Optimization of Supercritical Water Gasification of Leftover Brazilian Ginseng Roots After Phytochemical Recovery Steps

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Alberto Mian, Juliana Queiroz Albarelli

The present study aims at studying the supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of the leftover Brazilian ginseng roots after phytochemicals extraction for synthetic natural gas (SNG) production, envisioning the development of a promising Brazilian ginseng ...

Real-time observation of the charge transfer to solvent dynamics

Majed Chergui, Andrea Cannizzo, Olivier Christian Bräm

Intermolecular electron-transfer reactions have a crucial role in biology, solution chemistry and electrochemistry. The first step of such reactions is the expulsion of the electron to the solvent, whose mechanism is determined by the structure and dynamic ...

One-pot gold-catalyzed synthesis of 3-silylethynyl indoles from unprotected o-alkynylanilines

Jérôme Waser, Jonathan Brand

The Au(III)-catalyzed cyclization of 2-alkynylanilines was combined in a one-pot procedure with the Au(I)-catalyzed C3-selective direct alkynylation of indoles using the benziodoxolone reagent TIPS-EBX to give a mild, easy and straightforward entry to 2-su ...

Broadband femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion and photon echo experiments in the UV

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Olivier Christian Bräm, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei

The fs-time-resolved study of a small UV dye in different solvents with fluorescence up-conversion and photon-echo techniques in the UV range provides new insight in cooling relaxation and solvation dynamics of non-polar molecules in polar solvents. ...
