Abstract The hydrogenation of nitriles to amines represents an important and frequently used industrial process due the broad applicability resulting products in chemistry life sciences. Despite existing portfolio catalysts reported for nitriles, development iron-based heterogeneous this is still a challenge. Here, we show that impregnation pyrolysis iron(II) acetate on commercial silica produces reusable Fe/Fe–O@SiO 2 catalyst with well-defined structure comprising fayalite phase at Si–Fe...
There are several green methods available to synthesize iron-based nanoparticles using different bio-based reducing agents. Although their useful properties in degradation of organic dyes, chlorinated organics, or arsenic have been described earlier, characterization has ambiguous, and further research is needed this area. Synthesis details on produced by tea extract detail; was carried out transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV–vis spectrometry followed...
We present a new class of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) prepared hydrothermally from cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC). Because the high content, amphiphilicity, and presence heteroaromatic π system, CPC acts as source, stabilizing agent, contributing fluorophore in CDs-based system. The surfactant-derived exhibit tunable blue–green–yellow photoluminescence dependent upon solvent polarity, reaction conditions, excitation wavelength, excellent long-term colloidal...
Nitriding has been used for decades to improve the corrosion resistance of iron and steel materials. Moreover, nitrides (FexN) have shown give an outstanding catalytic performance in a wide range applications. We demonstrate that nitriding also substantially enhances reactivity zerovalent nanoparticles (nZVI) groundwater remediation, alongside reducing particle corrosion. Two different types FexN were synthesized by passing gaseous NH3/N2 mixtures over pristine nZVI at elevated temperatures....
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have recently attracted attention for their antimicrobial and anticancer activities. Nevertheless, use remains limited due to stability issues.
