Issue 1 2012 of Green Chemistry is now online!

The front cover of the issue highlights work by Graham Hutchings and colleagues from Cardiff University, UK, who prepared several Au-Pd exchanged supported Cs-heteropolyacid catalysts and applied them to the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H2 and O2 in water under ambient conditions. 

The inside front cover features work by George Huber and co-workers from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, USA and Southeast University, China, who report the catalytic fast pyrolysis of wood and alcohol mistures in a fluidized bed reactor.  By looking at the various reaction parameters, the authors demonstrate that catalytic fast pyrolysis can selectively produce a mixture of compounds and that the overall yield is a function of the hydrigen to carbon effective ratio.
