Journal ArticleDOI
Metal-free doped carbon materials as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis methods employed for the doping of different types of carbon materials with various elements and the characterization techniques used to investigate their physicochemical properties such as degree of graphitization, dopant content and surface area are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2-fixation into cyclic and polymeric carbonates: Principles and applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the advancements made within this field is critically discussed with special attention to the potential of these two classes of compounds as green chemical products: cyclic and polymeric carbonates.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It was demonstrated for the first time that the presence of weak Brønsted acid sites is crucial in accelerating the rate-determining (dehydration) reaction, that is, the first step in the reaction network from triose to lactate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges in the catalytic synthesis of cyclic and polymeric carbonates from epoxides and CO2
TL;DR: An overview of the type of catalysts used for this reaction, the mechanisms with which they operate and the parameters influencing their activity and selectivity are presented and discussed critically in this paper, where the main challenges to be tackled in this vibrant area of research are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly-efficient conversion of glycerol to solketal over heterogeneous Lewis acid catalysts
TL;DR: In this paper, mesoporous substituted silicates including the novel Hf-TUD-1 material were used for the acetalization of glycerol to yield 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol (solketal).
