Alcohol oxidation at electrode interfaces underpins a range of sustainable energy technologies, including direct methanol and ethanol fuel cells. Central to these reactions is the adsorption of ...

Selective catalytic oxidation of alcohols transforms primary and secondary alcohols into carbonyl-containing products such as aldehydes, ketones or acids using an oxidant, most often molecular oxygen.

Xin-Wen Zhou, from the College of Materials and Chemical Engineering at China Three Gorges University, spearheaded new research that explores a straightforward method to synthesize a range of PdFe/Cu ...
