Biomass derived small molecules are sustainable feedstocks to synthesize high value-added products.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-based materials have been recently identified as promising electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, little work has been done to improve the catalytic performance of MoS2 toward HER in alkaline electrolytes, which is more suitable for water splitting in large-scale applications. Here, it is reported that the hybridization of 0D nickel hydr(oxy...

Hydrogen has received significant attention as a promising future energy carrier due to its high energy density and environmentally friendly nature. In particular, the electrocatalytic generation of hydrogen fuel is highly desirable to replace current fossil fuel-dependent hydrogen production methods. However, to achieve widespread implementation of electrocatalytic hydrogen production technolo...

Titania supported vanadomolybdophosphoric acid (VMPA) catalysts with vanadium in different positions, incorporated into the molybdophosphoric acid structure by substituting for molybdenum and cation exchanged on the molybdophosphoric acid surface, were synthesized. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, TPR, XPS, and ESR techniques. The FT-IR and Raman spectral anal...

Some time ago we reported the oxidation of 2,3-unsaturated hexopyranosides and 2-Cmethylene glycosides with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of molybdenum trioxide catalyst to give the corresponding anomeric hydroperoxides 1-5. Relatively stable hydroperoxides 1-5 were used for enantioselective oxidation of prochiral alcohols and sulfides in the presence of Ti(OiPr)4 with stereoselectivities v...
