A recyclable <bold>Ca-MOF</bold> that exchanges Ca<sup>2+</sup> by Cu<sup>2+</sup> almost quantitatively and quickly was investigated <italic>via</italic> batch ion-exchange experiments utilized as a stationary phase in an column for removal from aqueous media.
Magnetic carbon nanocages (Mag@CNCs) were synthesized via a green one-step process using pine resin and iron nitrate salt as source, respectively. To produce Mag@CNCs, pristine materials have been carbonized at high temperature under inert atmosphere. The structural, textural, surface properties of as-synthesized Mag@CNCs studied employing microscopic, spectroscopic, physicochemical methods. obtained results showed that the new significant area (177 m2 g–1) with both microporosity...
The MIL-100(Fe) metal–organic framework presents a high As(III) uptake capacity of 120 mg g–1. Mechanistic insights into the role Fe sites versus carbon on are provided by comparative study series calcinated at 600, 800, and 900 °C. Using powder X-ray diffraction, TEM, scanning electron microscopy, N2-porosimetry, we have mapped morphology evolution materials. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, paramagnetic resonance show that noncalcined bears Fe3+ atoms;...
Copper-cerium mixed oxide catalysts have gained ground over the years in field of heterogeneous catalysis and especially CO oxidation reaction due to their remarkable performance. In this study, a series highly active, atomically dispersed copper-ceria nanocatalysts were synthesized via appropriate tuning novel hydrothermal method. Various physicochemical techniques including electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption, scanning microscopy...
The plasmon-induced heat generation by core–shell Ag0@SiO2 nanoparticle ensemble, i.e., Ag0 nanoparticles coated with a nanometric, amorphous SiO2 layer, has been studied for dispersed in liquid suspensions or deposited film. Nonmonodispersed, fractal-like ensembles were synthesized flame spray pyrolysis, varying particle size distribution, and shell thickness, ranging from 1 nm up to 5 nm. particles characterized TEM, XRD, XPS, UV–vis, while the thermoplasmonic heat-generation efficiency...
Understanding the plasmon-mediated electron-transfer mechanisms from plasmonic nanostructures to redox-active metals is a technically challenging and still developing procedure. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy well established as state-of-the-art tool selectively detect redox evolution of metals; however, its use in plasmon-driven charge-transfer processes has not been explored so far. Herein, we present quantitative study on mechanism hot-electron transfer, Ag@SiO2...
Ordered mesoporous carbons with innate carbonyl functionalities (MC-icf) have been synthesized via a nanocasting process using SBA-15 as template and acetylenedicarboxylic acid carbon source, instead of the commonly used sugar. The structural, textural, surface properties derived material were investigated by means spectroscopic, microscopy, physicochemical methods. experimental results showed that new exhibit basic structural morphological features resemble those CMK-3 carbons, such...
Noble metal-TiO2 nanohybrids, NM0-TiO2, (NM0 = Pt0, Pd0, Au0, Ag0) have been engineered by One-Nozzle Flame Spray Pyrolysis (ON-FSP) and Double-Nozzle (DN-FSP), controlling the method of noble metal deposition to TiO2 matrix. A comparative screening two FSP methods was realized, using NM0-TiO2 photocatalysts for H2 production from H2O/methanol. The results show that DN-FSP process allows engineering more efficient nanophotocatalysts. This is attributed better surface-dispersion narrower...

Designing highly active catalysts for the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) involves fine-tuning catalytic surface and improving its interaction with VOCs. The present review assesses various studies conducted in last decade on Co3O4 complete toluene (C7H8) provides information synthesis physicochemical characterization these catalysts. Taking this one step further, data from literature were carefully chosen an extensive meta-analysis aiming at elucidating structure sensitivity...
Abstract Exposure of humans to Arsenic from groundwater drinking sources is an acute global public health problem, entailing the urgent need for highly efficient/low-cost Arsenite (As III ) up-taking materials.

Abstract The main purpose of many current studies regarding energy efficiency is the improvement thermal resistance buildings. To fulfill this goal, development advanced insulating materials, to be incorporated in building envelopes, imperative. Aerogels are ultralight porous materials typically produced via sol‐gel process followed by supercritical drying wet gel. They exhibit very high porosities and a mesoporous‐macroporous structure which endows aerogels with extremely low conductivity....
