• A versatile biosynthetic approach to amide bond formation

  The development of versatile and sustainable catalytic strategies for amide bond formation is a major objective for the pharmaceutical sector and the wider chemical industry. Herein, we report a biocatalytic approach to amide synthesis which exploits the diversity of Nature's amide bond forming enzy more

• Enhanced H2 Evolution from Photocatalytic Cellulose Conversion Based on Graphitic Carbon Layers on TiO2/NiOx

  Hydrogen evolution from biomass via photo¬catalytic processes is potential but still challenging in chemical industry. Herein, we reported an enhanced photoreforming of biomass was achieved by loading a graphitic carbon layer on the TiO2/NiOx nanoparticles. Glucose and polyethylene glycol were used more

• A novel low-thermal-budget approach for the co-production of ethylene and hydrogen via the electrochemical non-oxidative deprotonation of ethane

  The oversupply of ethane, a major component of natural gas liquids, has stimulated the wide applications of ethylene since the shale gas revolution. However, ethylene production is energy-intensive and represents the most energy-consuming single process in the chemical industry. In this communicatio more

  The structure of the big chemical and pharmaceutical companies has changed. Traditional centralised research departments conducting fundamental research have fallen victim to economic considerations. In exchange, young, dynamic start-up enterprises are increasingly brightening up the scene. This boosts the development of new international co-operation models for the conversion of scientific ideas and findings into new products. more
