Borohydride Hydrolysis Using a Mechanically and Chemically Stable Aluminium-Stainless Steel Porous Monolith Catalyst Made by 3D Printing.

The challenge of moving to a carbon-free energy economy is highlighted in the context of technology and materials restrictions. Many technologies needed for the so-called energy transition depend on critical metals such as platinum, lithium, iridium and cobalt. Here we focus on solid borohydride salts as hydrogen carriers, studying catalysts for hydrogen release.

Advanced Method for the Detection of Saturated Monoglycerides in Biodiesel Using GC-EI-MS/MS.

Common B7 biodiesels consist of mixtures of mineral oil-based diesel and 7% fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). While biocontent increase can be achieved with these blends at high-quality levels during cold temperature periods, fuel filter blocking events are reported from time to time. Based on a preliminary study on fuel filters, the selection of compounds responsible for filter blocking could be narrowed down to saturated monoglycerides (SMGs).
