Extreme downsizing in the surfactant-free synthesis of spin-crossover nanoparticles in a microfluidic flow-focusing junction

A new surfactant-free, flow-focusing droplet microfluidic approach was developed as an important alternative to existing synthesis techniques for the preparation of spin crossover nanoparticles.

Removal of CO2from CH4and CO2capture in the presence of H2O vapour in NOTT-401

NOTT-401 shows a significant 7-fold increase (∼9.90 wt%) in CO₂capture under 40% relative humidity.

Separation of CO2from CH4and CO2capture in the presence of water vapour in NOTT-400

NOTTS-400 exhibits CO₂separation from CH₄when the material was exposed to a binary (CO₂/CH₄) equimolar gas-mixture and this was confirmed byin situFTIR spectroscopy.

Catalytic activity of HKUST-1 in the oxidation of trans-ferulic acid to vanillin

HKUST-1 was used as a catalyst in the conversion, under mild oxidation conditions, of trans-ferulic acid to vanillin. When catalyst was activated under vacuum, the average reaction yield reached 95%.
