Our last @unipa_it-@UNamur joint paper is out on #Carbon @sciencedirect. Linking metal-phthalocyanine to carbon nanotubes has never been easier with our Lego-like approach! Congrats to Benni and @Antho_Mor_AM

🌟 Yesterday at NISM Day 2024, I presented an interactive poster on catalyst acidity analysis using TMP and ssNMR 💜 and correlating it with catalytic activity for glycerol-to-solketal conversion 💚. Inspired by a LinkedIn design I once saw—credit to its creator!

This month I had the opportunity to present my research project at the Smarter8 workshop in Aveiro.
It was an incredibly rich 3 days of productive and interesting scientific discussions. I thank the University of Aveiro and the organising committee for this incredible experience.

Out now in MTCHEM: Zr-doped nanotubes and nanospheres to upgrade ethyl levulinate to γ-valerolactone. Focus on the role played by the morphology of the materials and the synthetic pathway on the activity of Zr active centers. https://t.co/f1pwoMtb7e

Just wrapped up my presentation at #icc2024, sharing the exciting results obtained by Dr. Denis Dochain during his PhD, on the development of bifunctional catalysts for the ethanol to butadiene reaction. Check 1 of our papers, in @RSC_Sus https://t.co/dzGgV3M6v6 #ICCLyon2024

The most common fallacy I encounter is the appeal to nature fallacy.

The belief that “natural” is better than “unnatural” based on its naturalness.

Many people adopt this as a default belief.

It is important to point out that essentially every single person who makes appeals to nature is a hypocrite (or is at least behaving hypocritically).

I can safely say that because if you are reading this right now, then you have a computer or a smart phone.

→ You drive a car.

→ You have access to the internet.

→ You’re probably wearing clothes.

→ You’re enjoying the benefits of modern plumbing.

→ You’re most likely in a building made of modern construction materials.

→ You probably have a fridge that is full of foods that don’t occur in nature (even if they’re organic).

All of these are testaments to the fact that we are capable of improving on nature.

↳ Don’t argue that “nature knows best” because you clearly don’t think that it does.

Outatanding talk given by professor Carmela Aprile at #ICc2024 about the fascinating world of silica based material used as catalytic platforms!

[Hybrid Nanomaterials for Energy and Catalysis Lab @lab_hybrid]

It was a honor to share the last results of our lab at the 9th EUCHEMS congress in Dublin (@EuChemS_Congres). Here I talked about our research on polymerizable DES as both solvent and functionalizing agents for carbon nanotubes. https://t.co/mLkGMtJq5k

[Anthony Morena @Antho_Mor_AM]

Here we are! Come to visit me at poster 372 at 17h30!
Very happy to discuss about POSS-porphyrin-imidazolium based catalysts for CO2 conversion! #ICC2024

Made this week a transformation of this turbo pump station from WAAAGH! style to something tidier (and safer).
Please notice use of sustainable green materials. And also my sustainable basket of normal bolts and nuts.

Our latest work on the use of deep eutectic solvents (DES) as both green dispersion media and functionalizing agent for #carbon nanotubes is out on @Chem_Eng_J. Great job by everyone at @unipa_it and @UNamur
