General description

Octane is linear alkane that can be synthesized from furfural, a renewable biomass resource. It can undergo catalytic cracking over alkali-treated MFI (Mordenite Framework Inverted) zeolites to mainly form primary cracking products.

Application


  • A photonic crystal material for the online detection of nonpolar hydrocarbon vapors.: Research on a novel photonic crystal material aimed at the efficient detection of nonpolar hydrocarbons such as octane, enhancing safety and monitoring in chemical processing environments (Bolshakov et al., 2022).

The unique optical properties of gold nanorods (GNRs) have recently drawn considerable interest from those working in in vivo biomolecular sensing and bioimaging. Especially appealing in these applications is the plasmon-enhanced photoluminescence of GNRs induced by two-photon excitation at infrared
