Investigations of carbon nitride-supported Mn3 O4 oxide nanoparticles for ORR (2020)
Journal Article

Earth-abundant Mn-based oxide nanoparticles are supported on carbon nitride using two different immobilization methods and tested for the oxygen reduction reaction. Compared to the metal free CN, the immobilization of Mn oxide enhances not only the e... Read More about Investigations of carbon nitride-supported Mn3 O4 oxide nanoparticles for ORR.

On the activity/selectivity and phase stability of thermally grown copper oxides during the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 (2020)
Journal Article

Revealing the active nature of oxide-derived copper is of key importance to understand its remarkable catalytic performance during the cathodic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to produce valuable hydrocarbons. Using advanced spectroscopy, electron mic... Read More about On the activity/selectivity and phase stability of thermally grown copper oxides during the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2.

Elucidating the mechanism of the CO2 methanation reaction over Ni–Fe hydrotalcite-derived catalysts via surface-sensitive in situ XPS and NEXAFS (2020)
Journal Article

Hydrotalcite-derived Ni and Fe-promoted hydrotalcite-derived Ni catalysts were found to outperform industrial catalysts in the CO2 methanation reaction, however the origin of the improved activity and selectivity of these catalysts is not clear. Here... Read More about Elucidating the mechanism of the CO2 methanation reaction over Ni–Fe hydrotalcite-derived catalysts via surface-sensitive in situ XPS and NEXAFS.
