Noble metal nanoparticle-loaded catalytic membrane reactors (CMRs) have emerged as a promising method for water decontamination. In this study, we proposed convenient and green strategy to prepare gold nanoparticle (Au NPs)-loaded CMRs. First, the redox-active substrate (CNT-MoS2) composed of carbon nanotube (CNT) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was prepared by an impregnation method. Water-diluted...

In 2011, a new type of hyper-cross-linked polymers (HCPs) arose, known as knitting aromatic (KAPs), characterized by their extraordinary chemical and thermal stability, porosity properties, above all, for the simplicity synthesis based on union monomers, without any previous functionalization. The next logical step was incorporation metals within these networks, support different soluble molecu...

Nanomaterials with particular nanostructures which usually possess special properties always attract considerable attention. A novel bimetallic Pt/Cu hexapod nanostructure was prepared by a facile one-pot strategy. The formation mechanism was investigated by the time sequential evolution experiments and the hexapod concave nanostructures originated from the Pt/Cu rhombic dodecahedron. Further e...

The development of an efficient catalytic system for enantioselective carbon-carbon bond formation by 1,4-addition of organometallic reagents (organolithium, Grignard, and organozinc reagents) to enones is a major challenge in organic synthesis. This Account presents the breakthrough realized in this field using chiral phosphoramidite ligands for copper-catalyzed dialkylzinc additions. Applicat...

We demonstrated a simple, in situ reduction route to the synthesis of two-dimensional graphene oxide/SiO(2) (GSCN) hybrid nanostructures consisting of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) supported on the both sides of GSCN. The as-prepared GSCN/Au NPs hybrid nanomaterials exhibited good catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. This approach provided a useful platform based on GO hybrid nano...

This paper discusses the role of fuzzy databases in catalytic inference analysis. In knowledge discovery and inference control applications, it is important to represent common sense knowledge explicitly in the databases being analyzed. Such knowledge, typically expressed in fuzzy terms, can be introduced as catalytic relations. Analyzing the resulting augmented databases materializes new rules...

Gas-particle flows are involved in various industrial applications in the energy, oil and gas fields, like coal gasification, production of light hydrocarbons by fluid catalytic cracking, catalytic combustion and different treatments aiming to reduce or eliminate pollutants. In addition, gas-particle flows take part to interesting natural phenomena, like volcanic eruptions, and their understand...

The Cas9 endonuclease is used for genome editing applications in diverse eukaryotic species. A high frequency of off-target activity has been reported in many cell types, limiting its applications to genome engineering, especially in genomic medicine. Here, we generated a synthetic chimeric protein between the catalytic domain of the FokI endonuclease and the catalytically inactive Cas9 protein...
