Hessel et al., p467-478. Sustainability through green processing - LCA and cost analysis for novel process windows, such as using microwaves for heating and reactive ionic liquids to replace solvents, intensify micro and milli process technologies.
DOI: 10.1039/b810396h
Fornasiero et al., p. 501-509. The use of supported bimetallic CuNi systems can significantly enhance catalysts stability with respect to monometallic systems promising better performance in hydrogen production through steam reforming reactions.

deMello et al., p300-309. The electric field plays a crucial role in promoting free carrier generation in many organic solar cells.
DOI: 10.1039/B813134C
Lubitz et al., p15-31. The cover picture schematically depicts light capture and charge separation in a leaf (natural photosynthesis) or a photovoltaic device coupled to catalytic processes that lead to water oxidation (O2 and H+) and proton reduction generating molecular hydrogen. The catalytic centers are shown for water oxidase and iron-iron hydrogenase.
