Battery storage systems become increasingly more important to fulfil large demands in peaks of energy consumption due to the increasing supply of intermittent renewable energy. The vanadium redox flow battery systems are attracting attention because of scalability and robustness of these systems make …

Herein, Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is considered as an easy and cheap to prepare alternative catalyst for the isomerization of glucose and production of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF). For the synthesis of the ZIF-8 catalysts two preparation methods were evaluated, being room temperature …

This report discusses the easy and cheap preparation of SnCl2 exchanged Brønsted acidic Amberlyst-15 ion exchange resin prepared by ion exchange of an aqueous SnCl2 solution at room temperature. The prepared materials were tested in the conversion of sugars, being glucose, fructose and saccharose to …
