- The effect of applied pulses on the electro-oxidation of ethylene glycol in alkaline media, BP.IC
Abstract
A key challenge in advancing sustainable energy technologies lies in enhancing the electro-oxidation of alcohols, such as ethanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerol, for energy conversion devices like fuel cells and electrolyzers. The development of alternative catalysts to platinum is critical to achieving broader adoption and sustainability. Additionally, applying pulsed techniques offers p…
- Electrocatalytic oxidation of lignin on carbon-supported non-nobel metal elerocatalytsts for producing high-value chemicals and clean hydrogen, BP.PD
Abstract
The increasing energy consumption and associated environmental concerns are a challenge for human society, triggering a global demand for clean and renewable energy in the future. Therefore, switching from fossil fuels to low-carbon alternatives is crucial. Hydrogen (H2) is a promising alternative to conventional fossil fuels due to its high energy density and zero carbon emission. An opt…
- Electro-oxidation of ethanol towards the production of energy and clean hydrogen, BP.PD
Abstract
The use of renewable energy inherently connected to problem of the seasonality intrinsic to all renewable source, so that the energy produced needs to be stored. Out of the several possibilities, the interconversion between electrical and chemical energies has played a growing role in the quest for a sustainable future. Strategies involving power-to-x include the conversion of renewable e…
- Study of the electrooxidation of small organic molecules in saline solutions for the simultaneous valorization of biomass and CO2 mittigation, BP.DR
Abstract
The escalation of the negative effects associated with the global warming has been stimulating the search for active ways to remove billions of tons of carbon from the atmosphere which, otherwise, will not be absorbed by Earth's natural cycles within the human time scale. Among the main approaches to such aim there is the use of the desalinization plants infrastructure to induce an enhanc…
- Kinetic instabilities in the electro-oxidation of isopropanol on Pt and Pt-Ru, BP.MS
Abstract
Due to the necessity of reducing CO2 emissions, the development of new methods of energy storage and generation became essencial. In this scenario, the use of small organic molecules in the interconversion between chemical and electric energy has attracted great interest. Among these molecules, isopropanol has attracted special atention. Due to the -OH group position in secondary alcohols…
- Electrocatalytic Reform of Lignin in Alkaline media: Study of Kinetics and Mechanisms for Enhanced Hydrogen Production, BP.PD
Abstract
The anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are not balanced by the bio-cycles, leading to this gas accumulation and, consequently, affecting climate change. The use of biomass as a fuel helps to minimize this matter since the generated CO2 is equivalent to the amount of CO2 fixed during the vegetable life cycle. However, a large portion of the energy that can be generated by the con…

- SFG Evaluation of Emerging Interfacial Features During Electro-Oxidation of Ethanol in Seawater-Like Electrolytes, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Recently, the combination of ethanol with seawater has been investigated not only from the bioremediation side but also for its potential in providing eco-friendly and economically beneficial processes. From an electrochemical perspective, ethanol electro-oxidation in natural saline waters may offer solutions to logistical challenges in CO2 mitigation strategies, such as accelerated weath…

Abstract
In the investigation of the origin of living systems, the alkaline hydrothermal vents (AHVs) are proposed as one of the most promising scenario to hatchery life on prebiotic Earth. The so-called AHV theory has proposed an energy-transfer mechanism, based on the chemiosmotic theory, as requisite processes of the first steps of emergence of life. Therefore, submarine environments of AHVs on…
- Stability of electrocatalysts towards the electro-oxidation of organic molecules, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
The development of efficient and reliable energy conversion devices depends on the design of more active and highly stable catalysts. Given that the current control over catalytic activity is more advanced than our understanding of the stability of surface atoms, it is paramount to establish functional links between activity/stability to enable synthesis of new materials with tailored pro…
