Vela and team published in American Chemical Society’s Catalysis

Abstract Motivated by increased awareness about nitrate contamination of surface waters and its deleterious effects in human and animal health, we sought an alternative, non-noble metal catalyst for the chemical degradation of nitrate. First-row transition metal phosphides recently emerged as excellent alternatives for hydrogen evolution and hydrotreating reactions. We demonstrate that a key member of … Continue reading Vela and team published in American Chemical Society’s Catalysis

Kovnir group featured in Chemical & Engineering News

Work published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society was highlighted in a recent issue of Chemical & Engineering News: https://cen.acs.org/materials/inorganic-chemistry/III-V-semiconductors-sport-clathrate/98/i4 Abstract follows: Three novel unconventional clathrates with unprecedented III–V semiconducting frameworks have been synthesized: Cs8In27Sb19, Cs8Ga27Sb19, and Rb8Ga27Sb19. These clathrates represent the first examples of tetrel-free clathrates that are completely composed of main … Continue reading Kovnir group featured in Chemical & Engineering News
