Molecularly Dispersed Nickel Complexes on N-doped Graphene for Electrochemical CO2 reduction

Research highlight / By

The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes are releasing increasing amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, leading to serious environmental problems such as global warming. Electrochemical CO2 conversion has emerged as a promising strategy for harnessing CO2 as a chemical feedstock to synthesize value-added chemicals (e.g., carbon monoxide, formic acid, methanol, …

Laser-induced biochar as a miniaturized sorbent for μSPE of organophosphorus pesticides from environmental waters

Research highlight / By

Micro-solid phase extraction (μSPE) has been applied for sample preparation steps in trace analysis. The development of μSPE is trending toward miniaturization through a reduction in device dimensions, a decrease in sorbent amounts, and/or an incorporation of micro-sized or nano-sized materials. Various materials, both synthetic and organic in source, have been used as sorbents. Biochar, …

Rational Design of COVID-19 Drug Leads from Cancer Therapeutics

Research highlight / By

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has eased, the virus continues to evolve. The development of new, targeted antiviral drugs remains crucial for preparedness against future outbreaks. This research began with drug repurposing screening, which revealed that lapatinib—an approved breast cancer drug—can bind to and inhibit the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2, a key enzyme required for …

A novel environmentally friendly catalyst

Research highlight / By

The research group of Assistant Professor Dr. Panuwat Padungros introduces a new eco-friendly catalyst, N,N-didodecylammonium N,N-didodecyldithiocarbamate (AmDTC-C12C12), which self-assembles in water to form vesicles that promote chemical reactions. This system allows the synthesis of valuable compounds like 4H-chromenes and γ-nitro ketones in water, avoiding harmful organic solvents. Read More Ayodele J. Atibioke Panassilp Authai Tirayut …
