Non-Noble Metal Catalysis: Molecular Approaches and Reactions
English | ISBN: 3527340610 | 2019 | 616 Pages | PDF | 35 MB
This up-to-date review of this expanding field features conceptual chapters that provide readers with an overview of the specific principles and tools used in the development of molecular non-noble metal catalysts, such as the use of cooperative/redox non-innocent ligands, computational methods, and proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions. Reaction-specific chapters then typically focus on the use of non-noble metal catalysts in general or of one specific base metal for a specific reaction or highly related set of reactions. A must-have for researchers in the field of homogeneous catalysis and molecular synthesis, both in academia and in industry.

The Blood Brain Barrier and Inflammation (Progress in Inflammation Research)
English | 10 Apr. 2017 | ISBN: 3319455125 | 286 Pages | PDF | 11.08 MB
This PIR volume presents a comprehensive collection of reviews that focus on the role of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) during steady-state and inflamed conditions. Within the central nervous system (CNS) the constantly changing bloodstream is strictly separated from the CNS parenchyma by the BBB. However, viruses, bacteria, parasites and auto-aggressive immune cells can penetrate the barrier and significantly contribute to CNS inflammation. The BBB can actively contribute to neuroinflammation by presentation of chemokines, expression of cell adhesion molecules and alterations of barrier properties. As such, understanding the role of the BBB under healthy and pathological conditions is essential to the development of new drugs to efficiently combat inflammatory diseases of the CNS.

Bioelectrosynthesis
English | ISBN: 3030032981 | 2019 | 420 Pages | PDF, EPUB | 41 MB
This volume discusses both the latest experimental research in bioelectrosynthesis and current applications. Beginning with an introduction into the "electrification of biotechnology" as well as the underlying fundamentals, the volume then discusses a wide range of topics based on the interfacing of biotechnological and electrochemical reaction steps. It includes contributions on the different aspects of bioelectrochemical applications for synthesis purposes, i.e. the production of fine and platform chemicals based on enzymatically or microbially catalyzed reactions driven by electric energy. The volume finishes with a summary and outlook chapter which gives an overview of the current status of the field and future perspectives. Edited by experts in the field, and authored by a wide range of international researchers, this volume assesses how research from today's lab bench can be developed into industrial applications, and is of interest to researchers in academia and industry.

Electrocatalysis: Theoretical Foundations and Model Experiments
2014-01-13 | ISBN: 3527332278 | PDF | 320 Pages | 9.43 MB
Catalysts speed up a chemical reaction or allow for reactions to take place that would not otherwise occur. The chemical nature of a catalyst and its structure are crucial for interactions with reaction intermediates.
An electrocatalyst is used in an electrochemical reaction, for example in a fuel cell to produce electricity. In this case, reaction rates are also dependent on the electrode potential and the structure of the electrical double-layer.
This work provides a valuable overview of this rapidly developing field by focusing on the aspects that drive the research of today and tomorrow. Key topics are discussed by leading experts, making this book a must-have for many scientists of the fi eld with backgrounds in different disciplines, including chemistry, physics, biochemistry, engineering as well as surface and materials science. This book is volume XIV in the series "Advances in Electrochemical Sciences and Engineering".
