  • Electrochemical catalysts with enhanced catalytic activity
    Patent number: 11973233
    Abstract: A catalyst structure includes: (1) a substrate; (2) a catalyst layer on the substrate; and (3) an adhesion layer disposed between the substrate and the catalyst layer. In some implementations, an average thickness of the adhesion layer is about 1 nm or less. In some implementations, a material of the catalyst layer at least partially extends into a region of the adhesion layer. In some implementations, the catalyst layer is characterized by a lattice strain imparted by the adhesion layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 30, 2024
    Assignees: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University, Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft

  • Production of alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids and esters from higher sugars using tandem catalyst systems
    Patent number: 9809528
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and composition used in the preparation of alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids and esters from higher sugars using a tandem catalyst system comprising retro-aldol catalysts and Lewis acid catalysts. In some embodiments, these alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids may be prepared from pentoses and hexoses. The retro-aldol and Lewis catalysts may be characterized by their respective ability to catalyze a 1,2-carbon shift reaction and a 1,2-hydride shift reaction on an aldose or ketose substrate.
