Electrification of the Chemical Industry: A Next-Generation Approach to Sustainable Chemical Synthesis and Greenhouse Gas Mitigation
Abstract: The imperative to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and transition to sustainable energy sources is driving a paradigm shift in the chemical industry. Electrification, leveraging renewable energy sources, emerges as a next-generation approach to transform traditional chemical synthesis routes, often reliant on fossil fuels and energy-intensive processes. This review explores the burgeoning field of electrified chemical synthesis, focusing on key examples – electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), electrochemical ammonia (NH3) synthesis, …

Sustainable Hydrogen Solutions: Beryllium-Based Complexes and Catalysts for Efficient Energy Storage and Production
Abstract: This study explores the potential of beryllium (Be) and transition metal (TM) complexes in hydrogen storage and production, focusing on the hybridization of atomic orbitals to form dihydrogen complexes within nanostructured materials. We analyze the binding energies and adsorption characteristics of H₂ molecules in Be-dihydrogen complexes and compare them with TM-dihydrogen complexes. The findings indicate that Be can effectively bind H₂ at room temperature, making it a promising candidate for …

Noble metal nanoparticles for electrochemical oxidation and sensor of Glucose
Abstract: The electrochemical oxidation of glucose without enzyme is one of the aims that many researchers have been trying to achieve. The non-enzymatic glucose oxidation attains closer to practical applications. The electrochemical oxidation of glucose molecules involves complex processes of adsorption, electron transfer, and subsequent chemical rearrangement, which are combined with the surface reactions on the metal surfaces. The information about the direct oxidation of glucose on solid-state surfaces as well …
