A descriptor guiding the selection of catalyst supports for ammonia synthesis (2025)
Journal Article
Weilhard, A., Popov, I., Kohlrausch, E. C., Aliev, G. N., Blankenship, L. S., Norman, L. T., Ghaderzadeh, S., Smith, L., Isaacs, M., O'Shea, J., Lanterna, A. E., Theis, W., Morgan, D., Hutchings, G. J., Besley, E., Khlobystov, A. N., & Alves Fernandes, J. (2025). A descriptor guiding the selection of catalyst supports for ammonia synthesis. Chemical Science, 16(11), 4851-4859. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4sc08253b

The efforts to increase the active surface area of catalysts led to reduction of metal particle size, down to single metal atoms. This results in increasing importance of support-metal interactions. We demonstrate the mechanisms through which the sup... Read More about A descriptor guiding the selection of catalyst supports for ammonia synthesis.

Selective Photocatalytic Reduction of CO2 to CH4 over NU-1000 Metal-Organic Frameworks (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Korhonen, P., Thangamuthu, M., Castaldelli, E., Diego-Lopez, A., Weilhard, A., Clowes, R., O'Shea, J., Laybourn, A., & Lanterna, A. Selective Photocatalytic Reduction of CO2 to CH4 over NU-1000 Metal-Organic Frameworks

CO2 adsorption and its subsequent utilization represent a promising avenue for mitigating climate change. The conver-sion of CO2 into valuable and useful products like carbon monoxide, methane, and methanol offers significant economic benefits. Howev...

Selective Excitation of Pd-decorated Titania Enables Consecutive C−C Couplings and Hydrogenations under Ambient Conditions (2023)
Journal Article
Whitehead, R. Z., Norman, L. T., Cull, W. J., Fernandes, J. A., & Lanterna, A. E. (2023). Selective Excitation of Pd-decorated Titania Enables Consecutive C−C Couplings and Hydrogenations under Ambient Conditions. ChemCatChem, 15(21), Article e202300528. https://doi.org/10.1002/cctc.202300528

Here, we discovered that Pd decorated TiO2 (Pd@TiO2) enables consecutive photocatalytic Sonogashira C−C coupling and hydrogenation steps by simply adjusting the excitation conditions of the reaction. We demonstrated that by-products containing iodine... Read More about Selective Excitation of Pd-decorated Titania Enables Consecutive C−C Couplings and Hydrogenations under Ambient Conditions.
