Probing machine learning models based on high throughput experimentation data for the discovery of asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts
High-throughput experimentation and computational chemistry were used to build machine learning models for Rh-catalyzed asymmetric olefin hydrogenation, identifying numerous factors affecting the accuracy of selectivity and reactivity predictions.

Molecular structure and composition elucidation of an industrial humin and its fractions
The structure of humins, a major side-product of carbohydrate biorefining, is complex and to a large extent unknown. A multitechnique characterization of an industrial humin provides new structural insights.

Mechanistic understanding of the thermal-assisted photocatalytic oxidation of methanol-to-formaldehyde with water vapor over Pt/SrTiO3
Thermal-assisted photocatalytic methanol conversion with water vapour over Pt/SrTiO3 facilitates formaldehyde formation from surface-absorbed methoxy; formyl is the key intermediate in concurrent reactions, and formate poisons the catalyst.

About this collection
Since its birth, NCCC has served as the premier forum to discuss advancements in catalysis research and to foster a dynamic exchange of innovative ideas among academic and industrial scientists in The Netherlands and in Flanders, Belgium. It has a strong focus on young and upcoming researchers, bringing them into contact with the more established and experienced researchers in the field. This collection intends to showcase a variety of fundamental and applied catalysis research widely recognised by scientists worldwide as an extraordinary hub for catalysis that is driven jointly by a community of strong academic groups, industry and commercial activities. This collection covers the breadth of catalysis science & engineering.
