Abstract:
... Syngas is a clean energy carrier and a major industrial feedstock. In this paper, syngas was produced via biomass chemical looping gasification (CLG) process. Hematite, the most common Fe-based oxygen carrier (OC), was modified with different metal oxides (CeO₂, CaO and MgO) by the impregnation method. The hematite modified by CeO₂, CaO and MgO was namely as CeO₂-hematite (CeO₂-H), CaO-hematite (C ...
... Herein, we present a new annulation reaction of quinolinium salts with indoles and paraformaldehyde, which enables syn-diastereoselective construction of a vast range of fused tetrahydroquinolines via ruthenium-catalyzed hydride-transfer-initiated tandem functionalization of the quinoline skeleton. The developed transformation proceeds with mild reaction conditions, good substrate and functional g ...
... Herein, we report a modular catalytic technique that streamlines the preparation of gem-difluoroalkanes from unactivated sp³ precursors. The method is characterized by its simplicity, generality, and site selectivity, including the functionalization of advanced intermediates and olefin feedstocks. Our approach is enabled by a cooperative interplay of halogen- and hydrogen-atom transfer, thus offer ...
... There has been an increased interest in the production of sustainable biochar in the past years, as biochar shows versatile physicochemical properties and, can have a wide applicability in diverse fields. Comprehensive studies have been made to characterize biochar produced from various biomass materials, using different production technologies and under different process conditions. However, rese ...
... Agro-waste extracts are considered green solvents since they are easy to handle, readily accessible from natural waste feedstock, biodegradable and recyclable. Therefore, the employment of these extracts in reaction media has emerged as the most useful and eco-friendly alternative in modern organic chemistry. Here, we review recent developments for the generation of new carbon–carbon and carbon–he ...
... The market for cosmetics is consumer driven and the desire for green, sustainable and natural ingredients is increasing. The use of isolated enzymes and whole-cell organisms to synthesise these products is congruent with these values, especially when combined with the use of renewable, recyclable or waste feedstocks. The literature of biocatalysis for the synthesis of ingredients in cosmetics in t ...
... An effective base-catalyzed Knoevenagel, Michael and intramolecular/Paal-Knorr cyclization strategy for the construction of heterocyclic [4.3.3] tetrahydro epoxyetheno benzo-furan propellanes (TEBFs) from cyclic α-diketones and α‑cyanoketones is reported through single-step reaction. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions and shows excellent chemo and distereoselectivity in the absen ...
... Biological membranes are inherently complex, making transport processes in microbial cell factories a significant bottleneck. Lack of knowledge on transport proteins’ characteristics and the need for advanced technical equipment often hamper transporter identification and optimization. For these reasons, moving away from individual characterization and towards high-throughput mining, engineering, ...
... Cold spray deposition, which can be framed in the wider family of additive manufacturing, is a manufacturing technique that is able to produce coatings on diverse types of substrates through the deposition of feedstock powder. As a low-temperature process, cold spray represents a potential solution for the metallization of temperature-sensitive materials, i.e. polymers and polymer matrix composite ...

Abstract:
... The educational gap for which science is not taught to managers, and management is not taught to scientists, is a significant obstacle to a company's success also in the bioeconomy field. The characteristic aspects of innovation in the bioeconomy contribute to explaining why it is difficult to find managers for bioeconomy companies. In addition, many different sectors in the bioeconomy pose differ ...

Abstract:
... Material science is recognized as a frontrunner in achieving a sustainable future, owing to its primary reliance upon petroleum-based chemical raw materials. Several efforts are made to implement common renewable feedstocks as an alternative to common fossil resources. For this purpose, additive manufacturing (AM) represents promising and effective know-how for the replacement of high energy- and ...
... An efficient nickel-catalyzed cascade reaction of 2-vinylanilines with gem-dichloroalkenes has been developed to deliver diversely substituted quinolines in good to high yields. This protocol enables effective access to quinolines bearing various functional groups in the cascade process from readily available feedstock chemicals. Mechanistic studies suggest that two plausible pathways are involved ...

Abstract:
... Visible-light-driven photocatalytic reductive azaarylation has been widely used to construct the important imine-containing azaarene derivatives. In addition to the direct use of various commercially available cyanoazaarenes as feedstocks, the synthetic advantages include precise regioselectivity, high efficiency, mild reaction conditions, and good functional group tolerance. However, although man ...

Abstract:
... Over the past few years, cellulose nanosphere (CNS) has gained growing attention and rapid development. As a new type of nanocellulose materials, CNS can be prepared from native cellulose by using methods which have been adopted extensively to prepare the well-known nanocelluloses, i.e., cellulose nanofiber and cellulose nanocrystal. The particular interest is that the regenerated cellulose and me ...
