ChemElectroChem, EarlyView.After the oxidation of Ni(OH)2, chloride ions adsorb on the NiOOH surface, leading to OCl− formation through the chlorine oxidation reaction and partial Ni dissolution. In contrast, the presence of a spectator anion layer on NiOOH inhibits chloride adsorption and improves the selectivity of the oxygen evolution reaction.

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Acid catalyzed conversion of durene by isomerization, disproportionation, and transalkylation is of interest to the development of a methanol‐to‐jet process to reduce the amount of durene in the kerosene. It was of interest to determine whether durene conversion could be performed at a temperature lower than 350°C.
