Pd doped mesoporous biochar catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes. (2024)
Thesis
Hornsby, K. Pd doped mesoporous biochar catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4866518

The quest to develop Pd doped, sustainable catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene resulted in the synthesis of two families of materials. Derived from lignocellulosic biomass residues, specifically barley straw, bulk and mesopor...

The ultra-selective hydrogenation of Furfural on PtCu supported bimetallic nanoparticles and on Pt(111) under ultra-high vacuum (2017)
Thesis
Taylor, M. The ultra-selective hydrogenation of Furfural on PtCu supported bimetallic nanoparticles and on Pt(111) under ultra-high vacuum. (Thesis). Aston University. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/1356923

The selective transformation of furfural, a biomass platform molecule, was studied on Pt based heterogeneous catalysts and model single crystal surfaces. Hydrogenation reactions were carried out at pressures ranging from ultra-high vacuum to 20 bar....
