Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
The 30 selected papers include the plenary lecture on nanostructured materials for hydrogen storage and discussions in the areas of synthesizing and characterizing catalysts, environmental catalysis, catalysts for petroleum hydrotreating and refining, catalysts for fuel production, and electrocatalysis. Among specific topics are influences of surface chemistry on the dehydrogenation kinetics of ammonia borane in porous carbon scaffolds, the synthesis and photocatalytic performance of hierarchical porous titanium phosphonate hybrid materials, the catalytic activity of sulfated zirconia promoted with cerium oxide, basic ion exchange resins as heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel synthesis, and a novel non-metal oxygen reduction electrocatalyst based on platelet carbon nanofiber.
