@Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Lehigh University Prof Israel E. Wachs and his group are developing a novel #spectroscopy technique to improve understanding of #NOx reduction, aiming to enhance #airquality and reduce #pollution:

New Nature Communications paper exploring electrochemical chlorinations. Thomas Wirth's work at Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd has focused on researching hypervalent iodine chemistry, advancing sustainable and scalable methods for chlorination. This paper titled: "Electrocatalytic continuous flow chlorinations with iodine(I/III) mediators" published in Nature Communications highlights the use of Vapourtec's Ion electrochemical reactor for rapid screening of different reaction parameters, which was essential for supporting continuous flow chlorination reactions, demonstrating the efficiency of hypervalent iodine(I/III) compounds.

✨ We are proud to announce that the first exotic results have been presented. Dr. Maximilian Demnitz shared the results during the first National Symposium for Electrochemical Conversion organised by TU Delft e-Refinery. 👤 In Maximilian's words: ''It was an inspiring symposium, highlighting the chances, but also the limitations of using #electrochemistry for making the chemical industry emission-free.'' 📻 Keep tuned for more developments about the EXSOTHyC project. 🌱 #exsothyc #greenhydrogen #Electrolysis

Our study highlights how stress within crystal lattices can speed up photochemical reactions, reducing the energy barriers and leading to faster transformations (3.9 ps in crystals vs. 11.3 ps in solution). This is a step toward creating more sustainable, cost-effective chemical processes using the entatic state concept. This work opens new doors for advancing green chemistry and designing better catalysts for environmentally friendly synthesis. Excited about the future possibilities! #GreenChemistry #Catalysis #Innovation #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/gTiktp_f

Today, we shine the spotlight on a pioneer of thermodynamics: Joseph Black (1728-1799). Joseph Black's groundbreaking work on latent heat and mass heat capacity laid the foundations for modern temperature control technologies. His discoveries help us to understand how materials absorb and release heat - crucial knowledge for our industry. 🔑 His key contributions: - Discovery of latent heat - Concept of heat capacity - Work on carbon dioxide At Exam Packaging we apply these principles to our temperature-controlled packaging solutions every day. Joseph Black's work continues to inspire innovations that protect sensitive products in the life sciences sector, including pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. As we push the boundaries of thermal management to preserve the integrity of medicines and biological samples, we build on the scientific legacy left by pioneers like Joseph Black. His work reminds us that understanding fundamental scientific principles is essential to developing practical solutions that save lives. #Thermodynamics #ColdChain #Innovation #LifeSciences #Packaging #TemperatureControl #SupplyChain #Exampackaging

Reaching out to the community interested in #electrochemistry and #methane_conversion our article “Challenges in the selective electrochemical oxidation of methane: Too early to surrender” is out, just published in Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, Elsevier, with Marco Altomare, Georgios Katsoukis and Guido Mul at Universiteit Twente MESA+ NWO (Dutch Research Council) Direct methane-to-methanol conversion is still an attractive alternative to the energy-intense and environmentally impactful steam methane reforming route - however the selective electrochemical oxidation of methane, for example to methanol, is hindered by poor conversion rates and selectivity. In this article, we examine the reasons that may have led to the lack of a breakthrough in the field so far, such as methane mass transport and concentration limitations. We encourage fellow researchers to develop and work along harmonized research protocols and apply in-situ spectroscopy techniques over model electrodes to understand the reaction mechanism in order to design more selective catalysts.   https://lnkd.in/eGgxGnxX   #sustainability #methaneconversion #currentopinion

Scientists have created Molecularly Imprinted 🧲 #Biochar (MBC@MIPs) for selective oxytetracycline (OTC) removal from water. With a unique structure and impressive selectivity, MBC@MIPs outperforms conventional magnetic biochar, offering a promising solution for #waterpurification challenges. https://lnkd.in/g3p5PWkx
