Selective oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propene using boron nitride catalysts
Joseph T. Grant,Carlos A. Carrero,F. Goeltl,Juan M. Venegas,Philipp Mueller,Samuel P. Burt,Sarah E. Specht,William P. McDermott,Alessandro Chieregato,Ive Hermans +9 more
TL;DR: Hexagonal boron nitride and bor on nitride nanotubes exhibit unique and hitherto unanticipated catalytic properties, resulting in great selectivity to olefins, which is a game-changing technology in the chemical industry.

TL;DR: Evidence for this robust oxide phase revises previous literature hypotheses of hydroxylated BN edges as the active component on h-BN and BNNT and is denoted B(OH) xO3- x (where x = 0-3).

Kinetics of the Ag/KNO3/CaCO3 Catalyzed Aerobic Propylene Epoxidation and Effects of CO2
Sarah E. Specht,Somphonh P. Phivilay,Alessandro Chieregato,Sandor Nagy,Barbara Kimmich,Ive Hermans +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the aerobic propylene epoxidation over a Ag/KNO3/CaCO3 catalyst and demonstrate that CO2 alters the rate dependence in both reactants, affects the activation of O2, and results in the same maximum rate of propylene oxide formation.

Investigation of Supported Metal Oxide Species with Shell-Isolated Nanoparticle-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
Chase Z. Cunniff,Sarah E. Specht,Alyssa M. Love,Pajean Uchupalanun,Juan M. Venegas,Catherine E. Kruszynski,Ive Hermans +6 more
TL;DR: Raman spectroscopy is a widely employed tool for characterization of heterogeneous catalysts, although it suffers somewhat from poor sensitivity at low concentrations or under in situ conditions as mentioned in this paper, which makes it unsuitable for low-complexity applications.
