Catalytic Metallopolymers from [2Fe‐2S] Clusters: Artificial Metalloenzymes for Hydrogen Production

Catalytic Hydrogen Production from Bioethanol

Artificial metalloenzymes for enantioselective catalysis.

Artificial metalloenzymes have emerged over the last decades as an attractive approach towards combining homogeneous catalysis and biocatalysis. A wide variety of catalytic transformations have been established by artificial metalloenzymes, thus establishing proof of concept. The field is now slowly transforming to take on new challenges. These include novel designs, novel catalytic reactions, ...

Catalytic Production of Hydrogen from Methanol

Catalytic production of hydrogen by steam reforming of methanol is an attractive option for use in decentralised production of clean electrical energy from fuel cells. Methanol fuelled solid polymer fuel cell systems are promising candidates for stationary and mobile applications such as passenger cars. Present methanol reformers are usually of the packed bed type which suffer from problems suc...

Artificial metalloenzymes for enantioselective catalysis: recent advances.

Catalysis is the most efficient strategy for the preparation of enantiopure products. Homogeneous and enzymatic catalyses are in many respects complementary in terms of substrate and reaction scope, operating conditions, enantioselection mechanism, etc. In terms of performance optimization, directed evolution methodologies outperform combinatorial ligand libraries. With the aim of combining the...

Hydrogen Production from Selected Kerosine Components by Partial Catalytic Dehydrogenation

The providing and storage of hydrogen for efficient fuel cell systems is an on-going challenge. The partial catalytic dehydrogenation (PCD) of liquid fuels can provide stationary or mobile fuel cell systems with hydrogen. Through PCD, liquid fuels can be treated as hydrogen storage as well as an energy provider for combustion processes. It is also an alternative to the common reforming processe...
