TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations relate the high activity of the Lewis-Brønsted acid pairs to a bifunctional mechanism that proceeds via heterolytic activation of the propane C-H bond followed by a monomolecular elimination of H2 and desorption of propene.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of support morphology and composition on the intrinsic activity of Ni supported on MFI-type zeolite was explored in the hydrodeoxygenation of methyl stearate, tristearate and algae oil (mixture of triglycerides).

TL;DR: In this article, the catalytic properties of unsupported Ni-Mo-W sulfides (composites of NiMo(W)S 2 mixed sulfides and Ni 3 S 2 ) obtained from precursors synthesized via co-precipitation, hydrothermal, and thiosalt decomposition were explored for hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of o -propylaniline or quinoline in presence and absence of dibenzothiophene undergoing hydrodesulfurization (HDS).

TL;DR: It is shown that surface-immobilised molecular species can act as inhibitors for specific carbon products to provide rational control over product distributions and that anchoring of a thiol-functionalised pyridine on Cu destabilises a surface-bound reaction intermediate to energetically block a CO-producing pathway, thereby favouring formate production.

TL;DR: Using a dendritic Cu oxide (D-CuO) material deposited on a gas diffusion layer as the cathode of a gas-fed zero-gap membrane electrode assembly (MEA) system results in a very selective conversion of CO to ethylene as discussed by the authors .
