Vapor-phase catalytic dehydration of 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO) was investigated over Y2O3-ZrO2 catalysts. In the dehydration, 1,3-butadiene (BD) together with 3-buten-1-ol (3B1OL), tetrahydrofuran, and propylene was produced depending on the reacti...

The vapor-phase catalytic reaction of crotyl alcohol (CRO) was investigated over metal oxide-modified silica catalysts. The isomerization of CRO to 3-buten-2-ol (3B2OL) was found to progress in the reaction of CRO over V2O5-modified SiO2 (V2O5/SiO...

Graphene nanoribbon (GNR) has attracted attention because of the adjustable band gap, depending on the width and functional groups. The introduction of sp3C–H on edges is one of the choices to reduce the agglomeration between GNRs and to change th...
