These catalysts are effective in breaking down polyester based on the same chemical reaction (transesterification) and have been shown to be capable of converting polyester into raw materials with ...

Oxygen evolution is considered one of the most energy-intensive steps in water electrolysis and is therefore a key factor for ...

Catalysts for transesterification can be homogeneous or heterogeneous. While homogeneous acidic and basic catalysts offer high selectivity and activity, they are difficult to recover and separate from ...

Specifically, they worked on improving the catalyst involved in the chemical reaction that turns methyl (meth)acrylates into (meth)acrylate esters, called transesterification.

The catalytic activities of basic and thermoresponsive microgel particles for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction in water at ambient temperature were evaluated. The catalytic activity of the ...

How can artificial intelligence (AI) help accelerate scientific discovery based on vast amounts of experimental data? A new ...

The strongly basic sites on BaTiO 3−x N y catalysts are attributed to the presence of surface nitride ions and oxygen vacancies. Basic oxide catalysts contain oxygen ions with unpaired electrons ...
