  • Dry reforming of methane (DRM) offers a promising route to convert greenhouse gases into valuable syngas, yet its industrial application is limited by catalyst deactivation and carbon deposition under severe conditions. Here, the authors introduce a Ce-modified, Ni-exsolved perovskite catalyst that exhibits synergistic effects, enabling highly efficient and durable DRM performance.

  • Impure glycerol is obtained as a significant by-product of biodiesel production. Now it is shown that this crude glycerol can be reacted with water over very simple basic or redox oxide catalysts to produce methanol in high yields, together with other useful chemicals, in a one-step low pressure process.

  • Single-atom and nanocluster catalysts have been widely studied in heterogeneous catalysis, yet their coexistence and potential synergistic effects remain unclear. Here, the authors investigate atomic-scale Ni-based catalysts for bioethanol reforming and reveal a synergistic interaction between single atoms and nanoclusters.

  • Deuterated amines play a crucial role as building blocks in drug synthesis and in identifying metabolites of novel pharmaceuticals. This study introduces a dual-functional phosphorus-doped iron single-atom catalyst that efficiently enables both reductive amination and deuteration in a one-pot process, utilizing H2 as the reducing agent and cost-effective D2O as the deuterium source.

  • Mucosal melanomas are challenging to treat partly because so little is known about the genetic drivers underpinning them. Here, the authors perform a genomic landscape analysis of samples collected from three continents, revealing a potential role for CDK4/6 or MEK inhibition in the treatment of the disease.

  • Alkoxycarbonylation reactions are widely used in the chemical industry, but their sustainability is often hindered by inefficient CO utilization. Here, the authors tackle the challenge by developing a sustainable and efficient carbonylation process for producing methyl propionate, achieving high CO utilization and regioselectivity.

  • The genetic changes that occur in late stage metastatic melanoma are not well delineated. Here, the authors use rapid autopsy samples from metastatic melanoma patients and show that the late stage in the disease is characterised by whole genome doubling and aneuploidy.

  • Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an anti-inflammatory drug proposed as a treatment for COVID19. Here the results are reported from a randomised trial testing DMF treatment in 713 patients hospitalised with COVID-19. DMF was not associated with any improvement in day 5 outcomes.

  • The optimized reaction conditions for a catalytic reaction vary with catalyst, making comparison challenging. Here, a general approach to identify the best catalyst is described, which relies on the comparison of normalized key performance indicators. Two case studies — for acetylene hydrochlorination and methane oxidation — exemplify the method.
