The progress in the design strategies and synthetic mechanisms for each class of NiFe LDH electrocatalysts as well key trends structural characterizations catalyzing water splitting process are discussed.
A highly active and stable Cu-based catalyst for CO2 to CO conversion was demonstrated by creating a strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) between Cu sites the TiO2-coated dendritic fibrous nano-silica (DFNS/TiO2) support. The DFNS/TiO2-Cu10 showed excellent catalytic performance with productivity of 5350 mmol g-1 h-1 (i.e., 53,506 gCu-1 h-1), surpassing that almost all copper-based thermal catalysts, 99.8% selectivity toward CO. Even after 200 h reaction, remained active. Moderate initial...
Owing to the remarkable adjustability of layers, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) can adopt superior conductivity and a charge-storage capacity.
Developing stable, ubiquitous, and efficient water-splitting photocatalyst material that has extensive absorption in the visible-light range is desired for a sustainable solar energy-conversion device. We herein report triazine-based carbon nitride (CN) with different C/N ratios achieved by varying monomer composition ratio between melamine (Mel) 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine (TAP). The CN was obtained through two-step synthesis protocol: starting solution state dispersion of monomers via...
We observed that support morphology has dramatic effects on the performance of nitridated silica as a base. By simply replacing conventional supports (such SBA-15 and MCM-41) with fibrous nanosilica (KCC-1), we multifold enhancement in catalytic activity solid base for Knoevenagel condensations transesterification reactions. This can be explained by amine accessibility, which is excellent KCC-1 due to its open flexible structure, facilitates penetration interaction basic sites.
Abstract An efficient palladium catalyst supported on fibrous silica nanospheres (KCC‐1) has been developed for the hydrogenation of alkenes and α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds, providing excellent yields corresponding products with remarkable chemoselectivity. Comparison (high‐resolution TEM, chemisorption) analogous mesoporous (MCM‐41, SBA‐15) silica‐supported Pd nanocatalysts prepared under identical conditions, demonstrates advantage employing KCC‐1 morphology versus traditional...
We studied the effects of various surfactants on shape and morphology three metal organic frameworks (MOFs), i.e., Co-MOF, Cu-MOF, In-MOF, which were synthesized under microwave irradiation. The as-synthesized materials characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nitrogen sorption. irradiation time, temperature, surfactant template investigated. synthetic parameters, including type reaction played crucial roles in...
Abstract Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) of different sizes were supported on fibrous silica nanospheres (KCC‐1) by various methods. The size and the location Au NPs support found to depend preparation method. KCC‐1‐supported thoroughly characterized using HR‐TEM, XRD, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurements applied in catalysis for oxidation CO. catalytic performance is discussed relation morphological properties KCC‐1.
