Combined and dry reforming of methane on new Ni0/diatoms and mesoporous Ni0/alumina catalysts
Reformage sec et combiné (en présence d'eau) du méthane sur des nouveaux catalyseurs Ni0/diatomées et Ni0/alumine: Le reformage du méthane par CO2 et le bi-reformage (en présence de vapeur d’eau) sont deux procédés catalytiques capables de transformer du CH4 et du CO2 émis par décomposition de la biomasse. Les produits de réaction, H2 et CO sont émis avec des rapports différents, rapport de 1 dans le cas du reformage sec, de 2 dans le cas du bi-reformage. Les catalyseurs à base de nickel sont des candidats prometteurs, actifs et de faible coût en comparaison avec des métaux nobles habituels. Des désactivations par frittage et/ou par formation de dérivés carbonés (coke, nanotubes) sont attendues. La stabilisation des nanoparticules métalliques dans des parois de supports poreux structurés (i.e. Al2O3 and SiO2) est une des méthodes récemment proposée pour lutter contre ces désactivations mais les études de stabilité dans les conditions très dures du bi-reformage (haute température et présence de vapeur d’eau) ne sont pas encore décrites. L’objectif du présent travail était de synthétiser, de caractériser et de tester la stabilité de catalyseurs poreux sous les conditions imposées par le reformage du méthane: (i) d’abord en utilisant un support naturel, pas cher et très facilement accessible, des silices de diatomées macroporeuses, (ii) ensuite en préparant des silices et des alumines mésoporeuses contenant du nickel dispersé par différentes techniques. Les catalyseurs préparés par des techniques “one-pot”, mélanges de précurseurs du nickel et du support sont les catalyseurs les plus stables. Des oxydes destinés à modifier la basicité des supports (MgO, CaO) ont également été ajoutés et ont permis de minimiser la formation de coke pendant les 40h de tests catalytiques de bi-reformage.

Herbal Medicines in the Management of Diabetes Mellitus: Plants, Bioactive Compounds, and Mechanisms of Action
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by an impaired insulin secretion (or action), leading to persistent hyperglycemia. Such a disease, associated with multiple risk factors, can be broadly classified into two major types: Type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In recent years, herbal medicines (HMs) have been gaining significant attention as alternatives or complementary therapeutic options, owing to their rich content of bioactive compounds. These natural agents have been widely investigated for their potential in the prevention and management of several chronic diseases, including (i) cardiovascular disorders, (ii) infections, and notably (iii) diabetes mellitus. In this present state-of-the art review, we highlight the roles and impacts of various medicinal plants originating from diverse families upon emphasizing their active phytoconstituents, and the mechanisms through which they exert antidiabetic effects. Special emphasis is placed on how these bioactive ingredients can modulate glucose metabolism, enhance insulin sensitivity, and ultimately mitigate complications related to diabetes.

Fabrication of mesoporous CrTe supported on graphitic carbon nitride as an efficient electrocatalyst for water oxidation
It is essential to produce oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts, which are active and enduring for water electrolyzers. In order to create the effective OER, new chromium telluride/graphitic carbon nitride (gCN/CrTe) is produced via simple hydrothermal method. In this case, catalyst super hydrophilic surface is developed by the addition of 10% gCN nanosheets that can optimize the revelation of active sites and encourage the mass dispersion. Due to the robust contact among CrTe and gCN, which causes a lattice strain and an increase in the electron density around Cr sites, regulating the bonding between the catalyst and chemical intermediates. The improved 10% gCN/CrTe nanocomposite offers not only a good endurance but also by the highest mass activity. The synthesized 10% gCN/CrTe electrocatalysts provided low overpotential around 187 mV for OER to achieve a current density of 10 mA/cm2 in alkaline media with 51.0 h of long durability. Paving the way for innovative applications, this will enable the manipulation of advanced materials' fundamental properties at the atomic scale.
