Correlating ultrasonic impulse and addition of ZnO promoter with CO2 conversion and methanol selectivity of CuO/ZrO2 catalysts (2017)
Journal Article
Ezeh, C. I., Yang, X., He, J., Snape, C., & Cheng, X. M. (2018). Correlating ultrasonic impulse and addition of ZnO promoter with CO2 conversion and methanol selectivity of CuO/ZrO2 catalysts. Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, 42, 48-56. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultsonch.2017.11.013

The thermal characteristics of Cu-based catalysts for CO2 utilization towards the synthesis of methanol were analysed and discussed in this study. The preparation process were varied by adopting ultrasonic irradiation at various impulses for the co-p...

Cryogenian evolution of stigmasteroid biosynthesis (2017)
Journal Article
Hoshino, Y., Poshibaeva, A., Meredith, W., Snape, C., Poshibaev, V., Versteegh, G. J., …Hallmann, C. (2017). Cryogenian evolution of stigmasteroid biosynthesis. Science Advances, 3(9), Article e1700887. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1700887

Sedimentary hydrocarbon remnants of eukaryotic C26–C30 sterols can be used to reconstruct early algal evolution. Enhanced C29 sterol abundances provide algal cell membranes a density advantage in large temperature fluctuations. Here, we combined a li...
