A nanofibrous catalyst for in the electrolyzer and methods of making the catalyst. The catalysts are composed of highly porous transition metal carbonitrides, metal oxides or perovskites derived from the metal-organic frameworks and integrated into a 3D porous nano-network electrode architecture. The catalysts are low-cost, highly active toward OER, with excellent conductivity yet resistant to the oxidation under high potential operable under both acidic and alkaline environments.

Embodiments herein provide a combustion system comprising a combustion chamber having a catalyst bed, and a vessel for storing a propellant at a predefined pressure. The vessel comprising a first valve for controlling a flow of the propellant over the catalyst bed inside the combustion chamber and an input provided at the first valve, for injecting the propellant inside the combustion chamber at a predefined duration of injection for each cycle of injection. A predefined quantity of the propellant is injected in each cycle of the injection. The combustion system further comprises one or more glow plugs for maintaining a predefined temperature within the catalyst bed and an ignition glow plug for providing a source of ignition for combustion of the propellant inside the combustion chamber.

Provided herein are stimulus-responsive polymer microgelator particles that can activate fibrin fiber formation from their surfaces by actively ejecting thrombin to form an interconnected fibrin network with an increased elastic modulus and desirable microstructure. The use of the microgelators enables the decoupling of gelation rate and gel rigidity.

A process for the removal of nitrous oxide (N.sub.2O) contained in a process off-gas in an axial flow reactor. The process includes the steps of (a) adding an amount of reducing agent into the process off-gas; (b) in a first stage passing in axial flow direction the process off-gas admixed with the reducing agent through a first monolithic shaped catalyst active in decomposing nitrous oxide by reaction with the reducing agent to provide a gas with a reduced amount of nitrous oxide and residual amounts of reducing agent; and (c) in a second stage passing the gas with a reduced amount of nitrous oxide and residual amounts of the reducing agent in axial flow direction through a second monolithic shaped catalyst active in oxidation of the residual amounts of the reducing agent.
