  • Ionic liquids are useful substances, but in certain applications their utility is limited because they are involatile — or so we thought. In fact, some ionic liquids can be distilled, and even thermally separated.

  • Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) can store and transport hydrogen using existing fuel infrastructure, but typically require fossil-derived storage compounds, precious-metal catalysts and pure hydrogen feeds. Now, a diol/lactone LOHC system in combination with an inverse Al2O3/Cu catalyst addresses all three issues.

  • Creating systems that merge some of the advantages of both heterogeneous and molecular catalysis is a useful approach to developing improved catalysts. Following this strategy, a liquid mixture of gallium and palladium supported on porous glass has now been shown to form an active catalyst for alkane dehydrogenation that is resistant to coke formation and is thus highly stable.

  • Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a promising method for sustainable valorisation of methane and carbon dioxide, but its application is hampered by sintering of the active catalytic phase and coke formation. Here, the authors study DRM with non-noble metal atoms in supported gallium-rich liquid alloys which suppress both catalyst sintering and coke formation.

  • Modern life depends on the petrochemical industry — most drugs, paints and plastics derive from oil. But current processes for making chemical products are not sustainable in terms of resources and environmental impact. Green chemistry aims to tackle this problem, and real progress is being made.
