peace

NFFA-Trieste expresses its solidarity to all colleagues and people directly or indirectly affected by the ongoing aggressive war in Ukraine.

We wish to maintain our openness with the aim of reinforcing the peaceful global collaboration for excellent science, in the spirit of the ERICE Statement, signed in 1982 by Paul Dirac, Piotr Kapitza and Antonio Zichichi, and by over ninety thousands scientists worldwide. In case that higher level decisions will impact our access policy, we will promptly inform the international users.

New catalysts to convert methane into methanol
CNR-IOM leads a study on innovative and sustainable materials to transform methane into methanol, a valuable fuel in the energy transition process as well as a molecule widely used in the chemical industry. The methodology is described in the international scientific journal “Small”.
Operando X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy reveals different Hydrogen dissociation pathways on model Cu:CeO2 and Fe:CeO2 surfaces
The doping of metal oxides is a valuable route to increase catalyst activity and lower activation temperatures in H2 dissociation to replace Pt in catalysts for electrochemical devices. In this study, we observed that Cu doping promotes CeO2 reduction, while the addition of Fe seems to have a limited impact on the oxide chemical reactivity only at low temperatures.
