Spatially orthogonal chemical functionalization of a hierarchical pore network for catalytic cascade reactions (2015)
Journal Article
Parlett, C. M., Isaacs, M. A., Beaumont, S. K., Bingham, L. M., Hondow, N. S., Wilson, K., & Lee, A. F. (2016). Spatially orthogonal chemical functionalization of a hierarchical pore network for catalytic cascade reactions. Nature Materials, 15(2), 178-182. https://doi.org/10.1038/nmat4478

The chemical functionality within porous architectures dictates their performance as heterogeneous catalysts1; however, synthetic routes to control the spatial distribution of individual functions within porous solids are limited. Here we report the... Read More about Spatially orthogonal chemical functionalization of a hierarchical pore network for catalytic cascade reactions.

Selective oxidation of cyclohexene through gold functionalized silica monolith microreactors (2015)
Journal Article
Alotaibi, M. T., Taylor, M. J., Liu, D., Beaumont, S. K., & Kyriakou, G. (2016). Selective oxidation of cyclohexene through gold functionalized silica monolith microreactors. Surface Science, 646, 179-185. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.susc.2015.10.039

Two simple, reproducible methods of preparing evenly distributed Au nanoparticle containing mesoporous silica monoliths are investigated. These Au nanoparticle containing monoliths are subsequently investigated as flow reactors for the selective oxid...

Conquering Catalyst Complexity: Nanoparticle Synthesis and Instrument Development for Molecular and Atomistic Characterisation Under In Situ Conditions (2015)
Journal Article
Somorjai, G. A., & Beaumont, S. K. (2015). Conquering Catalyst Complexity: Nanoparticle Synthesis and Instrument Development for Molecular and Atomistic Characterisation Under In Situ Conditions. Topics in Catalysis, 58(10), 560-572. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11244-015-0398-5

Most heterogeneous, homogeneous and enzyme catalysts are nanoparticles. Conquering the complexity of such materials’ mode of operation at the atomic and molecular level necessitates being able to elucidate their structure under operational conditions...
