A RUDN chemist has developed a new method for synthesizing “yolk-shell” nanoparticles on the basis of titanium dioxide and graphene. The complex structure of the new particles allowed the scientists to carry out a selective oxidation for aldehyde production for many hours without the formation of any byproducts. The research was published in Applied Catalysis…
RUDN Chemists Made an Electrode For Hydrogen Fuel Production Out of Chinese Flour
Chemist Tested a New Nanocatalyst for Obtaining Hydrogen
A chemist from RUDN was the first to use catalysts with ruthenium nanoparticles to obtain hydrogen under the influence of visible light and UV radiation. In the future, such catalysts may be used for large-scale production of hydrogen fuel under the influence of sunlight. The results of the study were published in Applied Catalysis B: Environmental.…

Chemists Created a Precise Model of Chemical Bonds in Diazone Dyes
Nanocatalysts Developed for Continuous Biofuel Synthesis
A chemist from RUDN University has synthesized new catalysts with ruthenium (Ru) nanoparticles for producing biofuel from organic biowaste. Nanocatalysts support more intensive and sustained reactions than the compounds currently available in the market. The results of the study were published in the ChemSusChem journal. Rafael Luque, an external specialist from RUDN, works on the…
Diels-Alder Reaction is a Game-changer for Graphene
RUDN-based researchers, together with Russian colleagues, have studied the Diels-Alder reaction in the derivatives of furan (a heterocyclic organic substance) and managed to reach 100 percent control over the composition of its products. The described patterns may be useful for creating new methods of agricultural waste processing. Moreover, the reaction may be used for the…
Chemists Developed a Way to Synthesize Drugs From Renewable Precursors
The scientists of RUDN University together with their Russian colleagues have developed a new approach to the synthesis of benzofurans from cheap raw materials. Original furans can be produced from wastes of agriculture and wooworking industry, such as sawdust, cobs and other by-products of crop production. The results of the work were described in the…
