The 2-electron reduced form of the polyoxometalate silicotungstic acid (H[SiWO]) is shown to be an effective and selective hydrogenation agent for a range of nitroarenes without the need for any co-catalyst. The ease of generation of the active species and its recyclability suggest that a new approach to this important class of chemical conversions is possible.

Catalytic hydrogen production from water splitting via electron-coupled proton buffers and earth abundant materials.

Achromobacter species can cause chronic and potentially severe infections in immunocompromised patients, especially in those with cystic fibrosis. Bacteria cannot be eradicated due to Achromobacter 's intrinsic multidrug resistance.

Fuel-flexible hydrogen generation methods, such as electrochemical conversion of biomass, offer a route for sustainable production of hydrogen whilst valorising feedstocks that are often overlooked as waste products. This work...
