Automation is designed to assist operators and enhance system performance and safety. When unexpected events occur, and the operator is not able to understand the behaviour of the automated system a sudden rise in cognitive workload occurs, compromising decision-making, performance, and safety...

Cities across the world continuously face emerging complexities driven by rapid urbanisation, socio-economic shifts and environmental pressures. Navigating these challenges effectively necessitates continuous adaptation and innovation, moving beyond traditional smart city approaches towards more...

Shaping of metal-organic frameworks into macro-structured particles for reactors and separation processes is a fundamental step in their way towards commercialization. Extrusion techniques which are used for shaping many porous materials resulted in significant reduction of surface area in many MOF...

Direct print of 3D nanomaterials could be an advantageous way to obtain nanostructures to be applied in sensing and electronic components production. In this work, the full pathway of production of 3D nanostructures of gold is covered, from solid gold, to organometallic volatile gold compounds (used...

Hydrogen is essential in a variety of large-scale chemical processes. As a carbon-free energy carrier, hydrogen has a potential for wide use within power production and transportation. However, most of the recent production methods involve the release of CO₂ as a by-product. Hence, decarbonization...

The reactivity of BaZr1−xYxO3−δ (x = 0–0.2) ceramics under 1 atm CO₂ at 650 °C for up to 1000 h was investigated in order to elucidate possible degradation processes occurring when the material is applied as a proton-conducting electrolyte in electrochemical devices. The annealed ceramics were...

The biogeochemical cycling of mercury (Hg) in the marine environment is an issue of global concern, as consumption of marine fish is a major route of human exposure to the toxic specie methylmercury (MeHg). The most widely utilised and accepted technique for preparing biological tissue samples for...

The use of silicon (Si) in the form of nanoparticles is one of the most promising routes for boosting the capacity of modern Li‐ion batteries. Many parameters influence the performance of Si making the comparison of materials complicated. The present work demonstrates a direct comparison of Si...

Zn complexes of Schiff base ligands derived from 2,2'‐diaminobiphenyls and salicylaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and characterized by NMR and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The detailed NMR studies suggest that the Zn complexes have a complicated behavior in solution, which is...

On our route towards a more sustainable future, the use of stranded and underutilized natural gas to produce chemicals would be a great aid in mitigating climate change, due to the reduced CO₂ emissions in comparison to using petroleum. In this study, we investigate the performance of Cu...

Hydrogen production from water electrolysis is a key enabling energy storage technology for the large-scale deployment of intermittent renewable energy sources. Proton ceramic electrolysers (PCEs) can produce dry pressurized hydrogen directly from steam, avoiding major parts of cost-driving...

The sorbent enhanced water-gas shift (SEWGS) process has great potential for CO₂ capture and is thereby a realistic alternative to conventional post-combustion capture by gas emission scrubbing. Nevertheless, better performing materials are required to make SEWGS competitive against state-of-the-art...

Ta3N5 nanotubes (NTs) were obtained from nitridation of Ta2O5 NTs, which were grown directly on Ta foil through a 2-step anodization procedure. With Co(OH)x decoration, a photocurrent density as high as 2.3 mA cm−2 (1.23 V vs. NHE) was reached under AM1.5G simulated solar light; however, the...

A highly asymmetric AuIII η3‐allyl complex has been generated by treating Au(η1‐allyl)Br(tpy) (tpy=2‐(p‐tolyl)pyridine) with AgNTf2. The resulting η3‐allyl complex has been characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. DFT calculations and variable temperature 1H NMR suggest that the...

This contribution clarifies the overoxidation-preventing key step in the methane-to-methanol (MTM) conversion over copper mordenite zeolites. We followed the methane-to-methanol conversion over copper mordenite zeolites by NMR spectroscopy supported by DRIFTS to show that surface methoxy groups...

Four isostructural CPO‐54‐M metal‐organic frameworks based on the larger organic linker 1,5‐dihydroxynaphthalene‐2,6‐dicarboxylic acid and divalent cations (M=Mn, Mg, Ni, Co) are shown to be isoreticular to the CPO‐27 (MOF‐74) materials. Desolvated CPO‐54‐Mn contains a very high concentration of...

A solid-state photoelectrochemical (SSPEC) cell is an attractive approach for solar water splitting, especially when it comes to monolithic device design. In a SSPEC cell the electrodes distance is minimized, while the use of polymer-based membranes alleviates the need for liquid electrolytes, and...
