The increasing global demand for sustainable energy solutions necessitates innovative approaches to hydrogen production. This study investigates the use of laser pyrolysis as a rapid and efficient method for converting biomass into hydrogen-rich gas, bioch ...
Lanthanide redox reactivity remains limited to one-electron transfer reactions due to their inability to access a broad range of oxidation states. Here, we show that multielectron reductive chemistry is achieved for ytterbium by using the tripodal tris(sil ...
This dissertation focuses on the research on the synthesis of lignan families. Lignan derivatives such as podophyllotoxin serve as drug precursors, for example etoposide or teniposide which have been used in the past forty years as anti-cancer therapeutics ...
Inland waters are the largest natural source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, yet the contribution from small streams to this flux is not clearly defined. To fully understand CH4 emissions from streams and rivers, we must consider the relative importanc ...
Sulfonamide antibiotics are an important class of organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment. For several, sulfur dioxide extrusion products have been previously reported upon photochemical or dark oxidation. Using quantum chemical modeling calcula ...
Electrochemical oxidation of hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) nanoparticulate films at 600 mV vs Ag+/AgCl in KOH electrolyte forms a species at the hematite surface which causes a new transition in the upper Hubbard band between the Fe(3d)-O(2p) state region and the ...
