High-Pressure Torsion-Induced Transformation of Adenosine Monophosphate: Insights into Prebiotic Chemistry of RNA by Astronomical Impacts
Kaveh Edalati, Jacqueline Hidalgo-Jimenez, Thanh Tam Nguyen
The origin of life is yet a compelling scientific mystery that has sometimes been attributed to high-pressure impacts by small solar system bodies such as comets, meteoroids, aster…
Active high-entropy photocatalyst designed by incorporating alkali metals to achieve d0+d10+s0 cationic configurations and wide electronegativity mismatch
Jacqueline Hidalgo-Jimenez, Taner Akbay, Tatsumi Ishihara +1
Photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) production and carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion to methane (CH4) are considered promising solutions for reducing CO2 emissions. However, the development…
Understanding high photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 high-pressure columbite phase by experiments and first-principles calculations
Jacqueline Hidalgo-Jimenez, Taner Akbay, Tatsumi Ishihara +1
The clean production of hydrogen as a zero-emission fuel can be done using photocatalysis, with TiO2 being one of the most promising photocatalysts. However, the activity of TiO2 a…
High-entropy oxide photocatalysts for green ammonia synthesis from nitrogen fixation in water
Thanh Tam Nguyen, Jacqueline Hidalgo-Jimenez, Kaveh Edalati
Ammonia, a critical chemical fertilizer and a potential hydrogen carrier, can be sustainably synthesized from atmospheric nitrogen and water under ambient conditions through photoc…
Photocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Methanation by High-Entropy Oxides: Significance of Work Function
Jacqueline Hidalgo-Jiménez, Taner Akbay, Xavier Sauvage +2
Methane (CH4) formation from photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion in water is currently of interest because methane is a fuel, and it can also be transformed into other u…
Phase and sulfur vacancy engineering in cadmium sulfide for boosting hydrogen production from catalytic plastic waste photoconversion
Thanh Tam Nguyen, Jacqueline Hidalgo-Jiménez, Xavier Sauvage +3
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is a well-known low-bandgap photocatalyst, but its efficiency is often hindered by rapid photo-generated carrier recombination and a limited number of active…
