Alkali phosphates-modified NaY zeolites were developed as catalysts for efficient conversion of lactic acid to acrylic acid. The catalytic performance was optimized in terms the type and loading alkali phosphates, reaction temperature, liquid hourly space velocity, concentration. A high yield 58.4% achieved at 340 °C over 14 wt % Na2HPO4/NaY. physicochemical properties investigated by various techniques including NH3-TPD, pyridine adsorption-FTIR, Raman, MAS 31P NMR. Introduction phosphates...
We reported the morphology-directed synthesis of Co(3)O(4) nanotubes via interfacial reaction NaOH with pre-fabricated CoC(2)O(4)·2H(2)O nanorods based on modified Kirkendall effect. The as-obtained showed excellent activity and durability in catalytic combustion CH(4).
For industry applications of nano-catalysts, the main bottlenecks are low loading per unit support area and slow flow rate through particles. By growing a dense Au nanowire forest on loose network glass fibers, continuous-flow catalysis can be achieved with processing about 100 times that best literature rate.
Gold nanoparticles (3-4 nm) were deposited on Mn3O4 nanocrystallites with three distinct morphologies (cubic, hexagonal, and octahedral). The resulting structures characterized, their activities for benzene combustion evaluated. dominant exposed facets the kinds of polyhedrons show activity order: (103)≈(200)>(101). A similar order was derived interfaces between Au facet: Au/(200)≈Au/(103)>Au/(101). metal-support interactions nanoclusters specific lead to a unique interfacial synergism in...
By using the in situ thermal analysis-mass spectroscopic technique, combined with transmission electron microscopic characterization of carbon nanotube (CNT) product, we have studied chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth CNTs Fe-Co/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst and benzene precursor range room temperature to 700 degrees C. The process has been clearly illuminated, which starts from reduction around 645 C followed by dissociation carbon-hydrogen bonds sequential CNTs. A surprising fact is that no...
This study highlights the facet structure control of regular NixCo3–xO4 nanoplates and interfacial modulation through elemental doping morphologically fitted assembly Ti3C2Tx nanosheets for high performances in OER/HER overall water splitting. Over resulting Ni0.09Co2.91O4/Ti3C2Tx-HT a solution 1 M KOH, OER HER overpotentials 262 210 mV, respectively, are achievable at current density 10 mA cm–2. In case splitting by using as anode cathode catalysts, only potential 1.66 V is needed to obtain...
Radiative linewidth of a two-level emitter (TLE) ultimately determines the bandwidth it can offer for quantum information processing. However, no prior experiment has so far been performed to examine effect driving detuning on indistinguishability photons scattered off TLE, parameter that is crucial photonic computing. Here, we perform post-selective two-photon interference experiments between mutually-detuned resonance fluorescence signals from an InAs dot embedded in micropillar cavity....
For the majority of gold nanoclusters (NCs), their water insolubility, low photoluminescence (PL) intensity, and less understood photostability are three critical factors that limit application in biomedical photocatalysis fields. In this study, we report a polymer wrapping method for phase transfer organic soluble NCs into aqueous without degrading electronic optical properties, such materials further demonstrated robust water. We first synthesized Au18(DMBT)14 NC (DMBT =...
