Valorisation of citrus waste for sustainable synthesis of carbon-supported copper nanoparticles active in CO 2 electroreduction (2024)
Journal Article

This study describes a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method to synthesise carbon-supported Cu-based electrocatalysts for CO2 conversion using citrus peels as both the carbon precursor and the reducing agent for Cu cations. XPS, TEM, and XRD analyse... Read More about Valorisation of citrus waste for sustainable synthesis of carbon-supported copper nanoparticles active in CO 2 electroreduction.

Alkali Metal Iridates as Oxygen Evolution Catalysts Via Thermal Transformation of Amorphous Iridium (oxy)hydroxides (2024)
Journal Article

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

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.

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...
