Elucidating the Role of Support Structure and Acid–Base Properties in Rh-Catalyzed CO2 Conversion via the Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction

Abstract The reverse water–gas shift reaction provides a viable pathway for CO2 valorization into CO, a key intermediate for the sustainable synthesis of fuels and chemicals. In this study, Rh catalysts supported on silica and aluminosilicate materials, including SiO2, MCM-41, Si...

Voltammetric electronic tongue based on molecular sieves for identification of timolol pharmaceutical manufacturers

A voltammetric multisensory system of the «electronic tongue» type has been developed for the identification of manufacturers of timolol pharmaceutical preparations. The sensors are based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with composites of a polyelectrolyte complex of chitos...

CO‐Adsorption on MgO Revisited: Polarization‐Resolved Identification of Step Edges as the Dominant Defects on MgO(100) and MgO(110)

ABSTRACT Magnesium oxide is a paradigmatic ionic oxide, yet its experimentally observed chemical activity remains difficult to reconcile with its wide band gap and non‐reducible character. Here, we combine polarization‐dependent infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy with hy...
