Furfural is an important chemical derived from lignocellulosic biomass, in particular from C5 sugars like xylose, and it is considered as a platform molecule of great potential for the synthesis of a broad spectrum of ...

It has been evaluated the capacity of several phosphate-based acid catalysts of transition metals such as vanadium and niobium in the synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) via a hydrothermal process. For this purpose, two sources ...

In recent years, lowering the operating temper-ature of the Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) to the intermediate temperature range (500-700 ºC) has become the main challenge for this technology. The electrolyte resistance ...

Limestone Calcined Clay Cements (LC3) are binders with complex phase development and microstructures. Although the hydration chemistry of these cements are being widely researched [1], due to the clay mineralogy variability, ...

An alternative to decrease CO2 emissions from OPC production consists on the development of a new kind of eco-cements composed by less calcite demanding phases, such as belite and ye'elimite. That is the case of ...

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant and economical non-fossil carbon source. Furthermore, it is not competitive with the food chain, coming from lignocellulosic wastes including agricultural and food processing, ...

Metal phosphonates-based coordination polymers (CPs) are known to exhibit versatile structural diversity and functionality. Thus, they have been used, among other applications, as electrocatalyst precursors for both, PEMFCs ...

La contaminación del agua constituye un problema de alcance mundial hoy día cuyos efectos perjudiciales se manifiestan tanto a corto como a largo plazo. De entre todas las fuentes antropogénicas de polución del agua, se ...

Cement based binders are building materials of worldwide importance. Since these samples are very complex, the knowledge/control of their mineralogical composition are essential to design and predict materials with ...
