Review Article

Direct conversion of methane on Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts to produce benzene and hydrogen: achievements and perspectives
Zinfer R. Ismagilov, Ekaterina V. Matus and Lidia T. Tsikoza,  Energy Environ. Sci., 2008, 1, 526
DOI: 10.1039/b810981h

graphical abstract image (ID: b810981h)

A review of the optimisation of Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts in methane dehydroaromatization: optimal catalyst contains 2–5% Mo on HZSM-5 with Si/Al = 17. Aspects of Mo/ZSM-5 deactivation and improvement are discussed.

Titanium dioxide-based semiconductors for solar-driven environmentally friendly applications: impact of point defects on performance
Janusz Nowotny,  Energy Environ. Sci., 2008, 1, 565
DOI: 10.1039/b809111k

graphical abstract image (ID: b809111k)

Awareness is growing that solar energy may be used for the production of environmentally friendly fuel and electricity. Titanium dioxide is the most promising photocatalyst for water photolysis. The present work considers the effect of point defects for TiO2-based oxide semiconductors on its photocatalytic performance.
