Achieving efficient water‐splitting under acidic conditions for hydrogen production is severely limited by the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Overcoming this obstacle is vital to realise effective electrolysers and deliver a hydrogen‐driven...

Investigation on the structure and performance of supported Ni nanoparticles for the hydrogenation of furfural (2024)
Journal Article
Chen, X., Alijani, S., Gallarati, S., Tessore, F., Jaen, J. J. D., Gianolio, D., …Arrigo, R. (2024). Investigation on the structure and performance of supported Ni nanoparticles for the hydrogenation of furfural. ChemCatChem, Article e202400229. https://doi.org/10.1002/cctc.202400229

In this study, nickel nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using two methods: the hot‐injection method and a room temperature colloidal synthesis using dioctyl tartrate as a capping agent. Each approach yielded Ni nanoparticles with unique mor... Read More about Investigation on the structure and performance of supported Ni nanoparticles for the hydrogenation of furfural.

Synthesis and Characterisation of Metal Organic Frameworks for Use as Drug Delivery Systems in Neuroblastoma Therapy (2024)
Thesis
Nduka, I. O. (2024). Synthesis and Characterisation of Metal Organic Frameworks for Use as Drug Delivery Systems in Neuroblastoma Therapy. (Thesis). University of Salford

Gliotoxin, a secondary metabolite isolated from the fungi, Aspergillus fumigatus has
shown cytotoxic activity against neuroblastoma, a type of cancer accounting for 15%
of all childhood cancer-related deaths. But as with all other chemotherapeutic... Read More about Synthesis and Characterisation of Metal Organic Frameworks for Use as Drug Delivery Systems in Neuroblastoma Therapy.

Alkali Containing Layered Metal Oxides as Catalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (2024)
Journal Article
Falsaperna, M., Arrigo, R., Marken, F., & Freakley, S. J. (in press). Alkali Containing Layered Metal Oxides as Catalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction. ChemElectroChem, e202300761. https://doi.org/10.1002/celc.202300761

Improving the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential to realise energy systems based on water electrolysis. Many catalysts have been developed for the OER to date, with iridium‐based oxides being the most promising due to thei...
