Highlight research! Prof. Dr. Danilo Mustafa and collaborators have published a groundbreaking article in ACS Applied Nano Materials.
Cover of the Edition featuring the work of Prof. Danilo and collaborators.
The article highlights layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as structurally versatile materials ith adjustable chemical and electronic properties, ideal for the development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts. These catalysts are especially useful in green chemistry applications, such as the sustainable production of fuels for the methanol economy. The research demonstrated that incorporating copper into ZnAlEu LDHs, combined with a gentle templating method using the surfactant P-123, resulted in the formation of well-defined nanotubular structures. These structures exhibited significantly enhanced thermocatalytic and photocatalytic performance in the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol.
