Biosimo won Venture Kick's second stage of financial and entrepreneurial support!
Biosimo is an engineering start-up, originated and hosted in our group, that focuses on the development and industrialization of new catalytic routes to manufacture bio-sourced commodity chemicals. They designed an innovative heterogeneous catalyst that enables the oxidation of ethanol inflow to produce acetic acid and ethyl acetate without the formation of CO2.
Mechanistic insights into catalytic conversion of methane under non-oxidative conditions
Our recent publication in collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institute sheds light on the complex gas-phase reaction network presented during methane conversion under non-oxidative conditions over iron-modified silica.
