“What we've experimentally found in our recent work is that a certain amount of heat can promote the chemical conversion ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have developed a device that combines a catalyst and microwave flow reaction to efficiently convert complex polysaccharides into simple monosaccharides. The device ...

The Vilsmeier reagent is necessary for producing a large range of pharmaceuticals, but its unstable nature and toxic precursor phosgene are challenges for its use. A new process that efficiently ...

Are liquid, virtually fireproof, recyclable batteries the future of grid-scale storage? There’s a century-old battery technology that’s taking the grid-scale market by storm. Based on water, virtually ...

Researchers have developed a new process that uses microwave flow reaction and recyclable solid catalysts to efficiently hydrolyze polysaccharides into simple sugars. The developed device utilizes a ...

A simple diagram of the chemical process in the device developed by the research team. In their system, a solution of the disaccharide cellobiose (left) is passed through a sulfonated carbon catalyst ...
