Tailoring Cu–SiO<sub>2</sub> Interaction through Nanocatalyst Architecture to Assemble Surface Sites for Furfural Aqueous-Phase Hydrogenation to Cycloketones Open
In this contribution, nanocatalysts with rather diverse architectures were designed to promote different intimacy degrees between Cu and SiO2 and consequently tune distinct Cu-SiO2 interactions. Previously synthesized…

Reuse of Pillaring Agent in Sequential Bentonite Pillaring Processes Open
This work describes the synthesis and characterization of pillared clays using a new pillaring method: the reuse of the pillaring solution. First, an Al pillared clay (PILC) was synthesized, and after filtration, the pillaring agent was st…
