  • FLUIDIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF NANOPARTICLES
    Publication number: 20230264166
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of synthesizing metal nanoparticles, where the method includes mixing a metal precursor with a stabilizing ligand in a first zone of a first fluidic device to form a first mixture and mixing the first mixture with a reductant in a second zone of the first fluidic device to form a second mixture, such that the metal nanoparticles form in the second zone.

  • Catalysts and methods for converting biomass to liquid fuels
    Patent number: 10392567
    Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure is a method that includes contacting an oxygenated compound and hydrogen (H2) with a solid catalyst, where the solid catalyst includes a metal carbide that includes a first transition metal, and the contacting converts at least a portion of the oxygenated compound to a deoxygenated compound. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the metal carbide may include at least one of Mo2C and/or W2C.
