Hybrid Hydrogel Supplemented with Algal Polysaccharide for Potential Use in Biomedical Applications Open
Hydrogels are a viable option for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to incorporate various healing agents while maintaining their biological efficacy. This study focused on the preparation…
Cold-Active Lipase from the Ice Cave Psychrobacter SC65A.3 Strain, a Promising Biocatalyst for Silybin Acylation Open
Cold-active lipase from the psychrophilic bacterial strain Psychrobacter SC65A.3 isolated from Scarisoara Ice Cave (Romania) was cloned and characterized as an extremophilic biocatalyst for silybin acylation. Structural analyses highlighte…
Sustainable Biocatalytic System for the Enzymatic Epoxidation of Waste Cooking Oil Open
The present study is integrated in a global effort to capitalize waste cooking oil (WCO) into versatile compounds by introducing an oxirane ring into the unsaturated carbon chain of fatty acid residues (the epoxidation of double bound). Th…
Highly Efficient Ru-Based Catalysts for Lactic Acid Conversion to Alanine Open
The primary objective of this research was to develop efficient solid catalysts that can directly convert the lactic acid (LA) obtained from lignocellulosic biomass into alanine (AL) through a reductive amination process. To achieve this, …
Catalytic Hydrotreatment of Humins Waste over Bifunctional Pd-Based Zeolite Catalysts Open
The catalytic hydrotreatment of humins, the solid byproduct produced from the conversion of C6 sugars (glucose, fructose) to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), using supported Pd@zeolite (Beta, Y, and USY) catalysts with different amounts of P…
Magnetic Fe@Y Composites as Efficient Recoverable Catalysts for the Valorization of the Recalcitrant Marine Sulfated Polysaccharide Ulvan Open

Impact of SCILL catalysts for the S–S coupling of thiols to disulfides Open
SCILL catalysts are active and selective for the S–S coupling of thiols to the corresponding disulfides showing a significantly increased stability.
RuCl<sub>3</sub> Supported on N‐Doped Graphene as a Reusable Catalyst for the One‐Step Glucose Oxidation to Succinic Acid Open
Impregnation of RuCl 3 on N‐doped graphenes results in the formation of well‐dispersed, small ruthenium oxyhydroxide nanoparticles supported on N‐doped graphene that may exhibit high selectivity (87 %) for the conversion of glucose into su…
Direct conversion of cellulose to α-hydroxy acids (AHAs) over Nb <sub>2</sub> O <sub>5</sub> -SiO <sub>2</sub> -coated magnetic nanoparticles Open
A series of Nb (3 wt% or 60 wt% Nb 2 O 5 )-based magnetic nanocomposites (Nb-Si@MNP) was prepared by covering the magnetic cores with Nb 2 O 5 -SiO 2 shells using either co-precipitation or sol-gel followed by precipitation methods. These …
N-Doped graphene as a metal-free catalyst for glucose oxidation to succinic acid Open
N-Containing graphenes have been found to act as catalysts for the selective wet oxidation of glucose to succinic acid.
Graphene oxide as a catalyst for the diastereoselective transfer hydrogenation in the synthesis of prostaglandin derivatives Open
Modification of GO by organic molecules changes its catalytic activity in the hydrogen transfer from i-propanol to enones, affecting the selectivity to allyl alcohol and diastereoselectivity to the resulting stereoisomers.
Unprecedented Catalytic Wet Oxidation of Glucose to Succinic Acid Induced by the Addition of <i>n</i>‐Butylamine to a Ru<sup>III</sup> Catalyst Open
A new pathway for the catalytic wet oxidation (CWO) of glucose is described. Employing a cationic Ru@MNP catalyst, succinic acid is obtained in unprecedently high yield (87.5 %) for a >99.9 % conversion of glucose, most probably through a …
