SSZ-13 is a Si-rich (Si/Al > 5) small pore zeolite (chabazite topology) important for both acid and redox catalysis. Using sample with Si/Al = 12, new procedure involving 27Al (3Q) MAS NMR spectroscopy extensive periodic DFT calculations molecular dynamics, in addition to the standard methods based on bare Co(II) cations as probes monitored by FTIR UV–vis spectroscopy, was employed. The placement of Al–O–(Si–O)2–Al Al–O–(Si–O)3–Al sequences framework determined (Al–O–Si–O–Al are absent). 54%...

Titania nanoparticles (NPs) find wide application in photocatalysis, photovoltaics, gas sensing, lithium batteries, etc. One of the most important synthetic challenges is maintaining control over polymorph composition prepared nanomaterial. In present work, TiO2 NPs corresponding to anatase, rutile, or an anatase/rutile/brookite mixture were obtained at 80 °C by inverse microemulsion method a ternary system water/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide/1-hexanol weight ratio 17:28:55. The only...

Synthetic Mg-Al hydrotalcites (HT) are environmentally friendly solid bases frequently applied as catalysts in base catalyzed reactions. The most common synthesis method, using NaOH precipitant, is problematized by the possibility of introducing undesired Na contamination. Alkali-free usually performed with NH3aq, a precipitant which less efficient incorporation Mg into HT lattice. In present work, organic bases, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide and choline hydroxide, were successfully employed...

Abstract Dimethyl ether (DME) is considered as a substitution of diesel oil. It can be used in engines because its high cetane number (> 55). The combustion process does not generate particle matter (PM) or sulphur oxides (SO x ) pollutions. One the methods to obtain DME direct synthesis from CO 2 and H mixture. On other hand, an attractive reagent, which safe economical source carbon. aim this work was mixture presence hybrid catalyst. In these catalytic CuO/ZrO selected metallic...

The catalytic activity of Mg-Al hydrotalcite (HT) materials in base-catalyzed reactions is known to be promoted by the low crystallinity HT solid. In present work, two routes enabling preparation finely crystalline were explored: (1) inverse microemulsion technique, and (2) co-precipitation presence starch. Carbonate, chloride bromide forms prepared, examined with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy infrared spectroscopy, used as catalysts...

Polyhydroxyoctanoate, as a biocompatible and biodegradable biopolymer, represents an ideal candidate for biomedical applications. However, physical properties make it unsuitable electrospinning, currently the most widely used technique fabrication of fibrous scaffolds. To overcome this, was blended with polylactic acid polymer blend biomaterials were produced by electrospinning. The obtained PLA/PHO fibers cylindrical, smaller in size, more hydrophilic had higher degree biopolymer...
