Advances in the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen

JK Edwards, SJ Freakley, RJ Lewis, JC Pritchard… - Catalysis Today, 2015 - Elsevier
The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide presents an attractive and atom efficient route to
an important commodity chemical. The direct synthesis process has attracted considerable …

Strategies for designing supported gold–palladium bimetallic catalysts for the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide

JK Edwards, SJ Freakley, AF Carley… - Accounts of chemical …, 2014 - ACS Publications
S 0 is the selectivity obtained by extrapolating selectivity to zero conversion and is therefore
the limiting selectivity of the catalytic system. It is therefore essential that S 0 … determined S 0 …

Methane oxidation to methanol in water

SJ Freakley, N Dimitratos, DJ Willock… - Accounts of Chemical …, 2021 - ACS Publications
Conspectus Methane represents one of the most abundant carbon sources for fuel or chemical

Aqueous Au-Pd colloids catalyze selective CH4 oxidation to CH3OH with O2 under mild conditions

N Agarwal, SJ Freakley, RU McVicker, SM Althahban… - Science, 2017 - science.org
… With this mechanism in mind, we tested an iron-based Fenton’s type catalyst with H 2 O 2
to investigate whether • OH in the absence of the Au-Pd colloid could activate methane, but …

Palladium-tin catalysts for the direct synthesis of H2O2 with high selectivity

SJ Freakley, Q He, JH Harrhy, L Lu, DA Crole… - Science, 2016 - science.org
The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) from H 2 and O 2 represents a potentially
atom-efficient alternative to the current industrial indirect process. We show that the …

The X‐ray photoelectron spectra of Ir, IrO2 and IrCl3 revisited

SJ Freakley, J Ruiz‐Esquius… - Surface and Interface …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
… these studies focus on the electronic structure of Ir and IrO 2 , they understandably focus on
the Ir(4f) core-levels, but as will be shown, valuable information is also contained in the O(1 s

Highly efficient catalytic production of oximes from ketones using in situ–generated H2O2
