#ICIQNews |🍷A study by ICIQ researchers highlight the potential of cucurbit[7]uril to emulate specific aspects of enzymatic catalysis by acting as an “entropy trap”. 🌀The results showed that CB[7] was unique in preorganizing tertiary furfuryl amines in a reactive conformation capable of accelerating their intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reactions.

🚂 Next stop on the SMART Reactors train is project A05, a collaborative research project where Sri Sannihita Chavali, with the support of junior group leader Dr. Miriam Edel from the Gescher's Lab of Technical Microbiology - TUHH led by Prof. Dr. Johannes Gescher, and Christiane Roller from the Institute of Polymers and Composites led by Prof. Dr. Bodo Fiedler work towards tailoring functional electrode surfaces as substratum for hydrogenotrophic biofilms. This project aims to understand and establish techniques to synthesize porous carbon electrodes for robust biofilm growth. With the use of synthetic regulation, a more resilient biofilm can be developed on Aero- and Globugraphite electrodes where the knallgas bacterium Cupriavidus necator can produce useful platform chemicals from carbon dioxide. #SMARTreactors #TUHH #Technischistdasmöglich #TUHamburg #engineeringtofaceclimatechange #CupriavidusNecator #Aerographite #Globugraphite #Biofilm

#MEEP2025 - Topics of the symposium 🗓 2-4 July 2025 in Lucerne, Switzerland The aim of the 6th International MEEP Symposium is to bring together key knowledge on biocatalysts & reaction cascades, new materials, biohybrids & surfaces in the field of bio-electrochemistry. To show the applicability of bio-electrochemical systems e.g. in the production of valuable chemicals, upcycling or detoxification of (biomass) waste streams and the development of novel sensors, another focus will be on reactor technology and scale-up as well as sustainability and economics of applications. The multi-day technical symposium will feature lectures of invited and contributed papers and posters. Submit Your Abstract   We are excited to receive your 1-page abstract by 13 January 2025.    Together, we’ll create a rich program for a world-class symposium.    - www.i-MEEP.com/UPLOAD to submit your work    - www.i-MEEP.com/DOWNLOAD to get templates, samples, instructions #MEEP2025   #C4P   #electrohemistry   #biocatalysis  #fuelcell   #Electrolyser

Hello, dear colleagues! Today, I am bringing a #TBT of the XIV Regional Meeting of Catalysis, held at the Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais (CNPEM) in Campinas-SP, Brazil, on April 22 and 23. First, the event was amazing, with outstanding presentations, good interactions and connections, enhanced networking, new ideas, and friendships! Besides, we were introduced to #Sirius, the most complex project in Brazilian science and one of the world’s most advanced synchrotron light sources. This is the FUTURE OF SCIENCE! At this event, I gave a flash talk and presented a poster on the work: Synthesis of Sn-Exchanged Amberlyst-45 Catalysts for the Conversion of Glucose and Xylose into Platform Molecules, the final part of my thesis. Surprisingly, I was also invited to be a poster evaluator during the poster session. I was very pleased to learn about the work of my colleagues in catalysis, as well as contribute in some way to their research! Last but not least, we invited the participants of the event to a gathering, which was amazing, with very good stories, connections, and partnerships! #BalanceIsEverything Thank you very much Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais (CNPEM) and SBCat - Sociedade Brasileira de Catálise for the organization of this amazing event! #BrazilianCatalysis #EMBRAPA #FAPESP #CATFERT
