Catalytic applications of layered double hydroxides in biomass valorisation (2019)
Journal Article
Song, Y., Beaumont, S., Zhang, X., Wilson, K., & Lee, A. F. (2020). Catalytic applications of layered double hydroxides in biomass valorisation. Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, 22, 29-38. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogsc.2019.11.005

Catalysis has a rich history of facilitating energy-efficient, selective molecular transformations and contributes to 90% of current chemical manufacturing processes. In a postpetroleum era, catalysis will be pivotal in overcoming the scientific and... Read More about Catalytic applications of layered double hydroxides in biomass valorisation.

Shape-Persistent Porous Organic Cage Supported Palladium Nanoparticles as Heterogeneous Catalytic Materials (2019)
Journal Article
Jiang, S., Cox, H., Papaioannou, E., Tang, C., Liu, H., Murdoch, B. J., …Beaumont, S. K. (2019). Shape-Persistent Porous Organic Cage Supported Palladium Nanoparticles as Heterogeneous Catalytic Materials. Nanoscale, 11(31), 14929-14936. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9nr04553h

Porous Organic Cages (POCs) are an emerging class of self-assembling, porous materials with novel properties. They offer a key advantage over other porous materials in permitting facile solution processing and re-assembly. The combination of POCs wit...

Comprehensive Experimental and Theoretical Study of the CO + NO Reaction Catalyzed by Au/Ni Nanoparticles (2019)
Journal Article
Kyriakou, G., Márquez, A. M., Holgado, J. P., Taylor, M. J., Wheatley, A. E., Mehta, J. P., …Lambert, R. M. (2019). Comprehensive Experimental and Theoretical Study of the CO + NO Reaction Catalyzed by Au/Ni Nanoparticles. ACS Catalysis, 9, 4919-4929. https://doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.8b05154

The catalytic and structural properties of five different nanoparticle catalysts with varying Au/Ni composition were studied by six different methods, including in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. T... Read More about Comprehensive Experimental and Theoretical Study of the CO + NO Reaction Catalyzed by Au/Ni Nanoparticles.

Monometallic and bimetallic catalysts based on Pd, Cu and Ni for hydrogen transfer deoxygenation of a prototypical fatty acid to diesel range hydrocarbons (2019)
Journal Article
Cheah, K. W., Taylor, M. J., Osatiashtiani, A., Beaumont, S. K., Nowakowski, D. J., Yusup, S., …Kyriakou, G. (2020). Monometallic and bimetallic catalysts based on Pd, Cu and Ni for hydrogen transfer deoxygenation of a prototypical fatty acid to diesel range hydrocarbons. Catalysis Today, 355, 882-892. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cattod.2019.03.017

Bimetallic PdxNi(100-x) and PdxCu(100-x) structures of a wide compositional range supported on activated carbon were synthesised via a simple, cheap and commercially relevant method. The surface and bulk properties of both the bimetallic structures a...
