Novosibirsk State University and the G. K. Boreskov Institute of Catalysis scientists published the book "Heterogeneous Catalysis of Redox Reactions", which presents the work of Novosibirsk Scientific Center specialists in the field of catalysis. The team of authors included Vladislav Sadykov, Professor at the Physical Chemistry Section at the NSU Natural Sciences Department, Lyubov Isupova, Chief Research Fellow at the NSU Scientific and Educational Center for Energy-Efficient Catalysis, and Sergey Tikhov, Senior Fellow at the G. K. Boreskov Institute of Catalysis.
Heterogeneous catalysis of redox reactions plays an important role in ensuring the continued existence of humans through the production of chemical industry products that will improve quality of life. These include products that will prevent environmental pollution, reduce the level of greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides etc.), purify exhaust gases, generate more efficient and environmentally friendly conversion of fuels into energy, and expand the use of biofuels.
The book is a compilation of research by scientists from the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis and NSU in cooperation with other leading Russian and international scientific centers. This work is based on material presented in hundreds of original articles, three monographs, six chapters in collective monographs, and a large number of reviews.
"Heterogeneous Catalysis of Redox Reactions" was published in English in October 2019 after a two and a half year process from concept to writing to publication. Vladislav Sadykov, co-author last year of a chapter on a book on nanomaterials and co-author of this book said,
The initiative to prepare this book came from the publisher at a conference in Europe. I am editor of the “Catalysis for Sustainable Energy” journal published by de Gruyter so they knew about my research in this field. Our book is intended for a wide range of specialists since it discusses the fundamental problems of catalysis.
