Hydrophobic microenvironment in catalytic C1 transformations Catalytic conversion of C1 molecules, such as CO, CO2 and CH4, into fuels and chemicals is a pivotal area in sustainable energy technologies. This process is crucial for mitigating environmental concerns and closing the carbon cycle loop. Water is a ubiquitous by-product and plays a vital role in these transformations.

Scalable Superhydrophobic Coatings with Recycled Polypropylene Polypropylene (PP), a preferred choice of material for superhydrophobic coatings, often encounters solubility challenges due to its chemical inertness. This work addresses the persistent solubility challenges in polypropylene (PP) coatings by partially oxidizing PP to enhance its solubility at lower temperatures.
