Ethanol electrooxidation is an important reaction for fuel cells, however, the major obstacle to ethanol electrocatalysis is the splitting of the carbon–carbon bond to CO₂ at lower overpotentials.

A heterogeneous oxidative process is reported towards sustainable production of valuable catechol derivatives from the depolymerization of Tung nutshell C/G lignin by Cu–NC catalytic process. The CuO and Cu₂O might be active species for oxidation.

An Au/Mn₃O₄ catalyst derived from Mn-MIL-100 exhibits a high catalytic performance for trace PCl₃ oxidation with oxygen in an organic system through an MvK-style supply of oxygen.

Single-atom alloys (SAAs) are a different type of alloy where a guest metal, usually a noble metal (e.g., Pt, Pd, and Ru), is atomically dispersed on a relatively more inert (e.g., Ag and Cu) host metal.

(1) CeO₂ films increases TOC removal in comparison with NiO films in benzoic acid elimination. (2) Both CeO₂ and NiO films can be easily recovered from the ozonation system.

Carbonyl sulfur (COS) is a prominent organic sulfur pollutant commonly found in the by-product gas generated by the steel industry.

A wetness impregnation method was used to impregnate the substrate with a substantial quantity of oleic acid together with a metal precursor, leading to significantly dispersed Ni–Fe bimetallic catalysts based on mesoporous SBA-15.

In semiconductors, generating charges via catalysis is a highly challenging task and characteristic of heterojunction photoanodes.

A series of Pd_xSn_y nanocrystals loaded on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanohybrids have been synthesized. Due to the proper alloy constituent and the strong interplay between the two components, the resultant Pd₃Sn/CNTs exhibit excellent ORR activity.

Self-assembly of Anderson-type polyoxometalate {CrMo₆} with Cu²⁺ and bistriazole L affords POMOF-1 that works cooperatively with NPHI for oxidative transformation of benzylic C–H bonds into carbonyl compounds.
