I am so happy to share with you the front cover just published on ChemSusChem by Chemistry Europe representing the most recent review of my group at the Università Ca' Foscari Venezia with GSSD Foundation on Reaction Pathways in (organic) Carbonates and Esters. Just few weeks before Prof Tundo passed away, we talked on the phone about a possible idea for the cover, he had a very clear idea on what he wanted the cover to be: a Janus face that envisions and analyses the dialkyl carbonate chemistry taking inspiration from chlorine chemistry (Chlorine tree) as well as from esters reactivity (Ingold book). In my opinion a brillant idea! #GreenChemistry #Dialkylcarbonates #Esters #OrganicChemistry #ChemSusChem

The global commercialisation of companies and technologies in the bioeconomy, using engineering and synthetic biology, are seeing rapid growth and advancement. However, the lack of related technical standards and metrics will likely cause major challenges. Hear from Professor Paul Freemont from Imperial College London on their report, drafted in collaboration with international stakeholders from academia, industry, and government, lays the groundwork for establishing open, voluntary standards for engineering biology. Paul is speaking on Day Two - check out the full agenda here: https://bit.ly/3yKoAPj #WBM24 #WorldBioMarkets #ImperialCollege #Bioeconomy #Biomanufacturing #IndustrialBiomanufacturing #EngineeringBiology #SynBio

The 7th International Advanced Oxidation 2025 will bring forward the most recent advances in the fundamentals and the development and application of the Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), especially in water recycling and reuse. It will help to disseminate new achievements in these areas and to identify future research and development needs through strong cooperation between scientists, engineers, operators, and decision-makers. https://lnkd.in/eEDczndG

I’ll be presenting at the Goldschmidt2024 conference in Chicago! My talk, titled "Investigating the Stability of Sulfurized Organic Carbon Using State-of-the-Art Synchrotron-Based Techniques," is scheduled for today at 10:30 AM (EDT) in Salon A1, Lower Level, at the Hilton Chicago. This research utilized advanced experimental and analytical techniques at the UK’s national synchrotron, the Diamond Light Source, to enhance our understanding of the reactivity/stability of sulfurized organic carbon, a crucial carbon sink.

I am delighted to share the publication of my book chapter entitled "Chapter Six - Environmental and toxicological implications of chitosan nanostructures"

Fresh from the oven! Have a look at this book about #electrochemistry for #biotechnology by our members Annemiek Ter Heijne, Tom Sleutels and Falk Harnisch.

#DICPResearchNews  Prof. WU Zhongshuai's group has developed a novel universal additive-containing "cocktail electrolyte" based on the synergistic cooperation of multi-component additives. This electrolyte enabled commercial LCO with high voltage (4.6 V) and ultra-fast charging (5 C) in a wide temperature range (-20 to 45 ℃). It also exhibited high applicability to high-Ni and Co-free cathodes.  This study was published in Energy & Environmental Science. Learn it more: https://lnkd.in/g2E27J6B

🌍💧 Surprising Results in Groundwater Trends in Southwestern Europe! We analyzed historical data from 12,000+ wells across Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy. The surprising result? Groundwater levels aren't declining everywhere as we thought! 📉🌿 📍 Key insights: - Declines mainly in semi-arid areas with heavy agriculture and frequent droughts 🍇🌳🚜 - Temperate regions with large cities also affected 🏙️💧 The good news? Sustainable groundwater management is possible! Let's spread the word and protect our precious water resources! 💙🌱 This study was supported by OurMED, InTheMed PRIMA and Sustaincoast Project PRIMA Program funded projects.

Exciting news for researchers! The deadline for abstract submissions to the 6th International Conference on Green Chemistry and Sustainable Engineering (GreenChem-24) has been extended until June 15, 2024. The Organizing Committee made this decision in response to numerous emails received during the last week. This is your chance to present your research and connect with fellow professionals in the field. Don't miss out on this important conference! Submit your abstract today and join us in discussing the latest developments in green chemistry and sustainable engineering. We look forward to seeing you there! #GreenChemistry #SustainableEngineering #ConferenceDeadlineExtended

🔻𝓝𝓮𝔀 𝓟𝓪𝓹𝓮𝓻 𝓐𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓽 🔻 💡🐱  𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐅𝐎𝐀 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐞-𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐙𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬💡 . 🔬 Exciting News! Our recent article, led by Dr. Jan-Max Arana Juve from Zongsu Wei's Lab at Aarhus University, has been published in the Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy journal. . 🔬 Our study dives deep into the challenge of removing #PFOA from water. The developed zeolite materials not only trap PFOA but also break it down through #photocatalysis. 💧 What's fascinating is how we've fine-tuned these materials to selectively target PFOA molecules, achieving impressive adsorption rates and defluorination efficiency. In just 4 hours, we've seen over 60% degradation! . Congrats to the team! . #WaterPollution #PFAS #Innovation #Research #Environment #Catalysis
