MOF-derived nanocatalysts activated under reaction conditions display remarkable activity when compared to several controls.
To combat global temperature rise, we need affordable, clean, and renewable energy that does not add carbon to the atmosphere. Hydrogen is a promising option because it can be used as carbon-free source. However, storing transporting pure hydrogen in liquid or gaseous forms challenging. overcome limitations associated with conventional compressed liquefied physio-chemical adsorbents for bulk storage transport, attached other molecules known carriers. Circular carriers, which involve...
A low-cost chemiresistive gas sensor is described, made by the deposition of a thin film conductive polymer, poly(2-dodecanoylsulfanyl-p-phenylenevinylene), doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (10%, w/w), onto interdigitated electrodes. The exhibits linear electrical conductance changes in function concentration methanol present sugar-cane spirit range between 0.05% and 4.0%. Since cheap, easy to fabricate, durable, presents low power consumption, not sensitive ethanol, acetic or water,...
Thermocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation is a scalable route to renewable fuels and chemicals that can also mitigate climate change. Here, we demonstrate how subtle changes in mixed phase zirconia support induce large catalyst activity selectivity. Ru/SnxZr1-xO2 catalysts were prepared using co-precipitated Sn-doped ZrO2. Ru/ZrO2 Ru/Sn0.01Zr0.99O2 both comprised tetragonal (t-) monoclinic (m-) ZrO2 nanoparticles decorated by RuO2·H2O clusters. Ru/Sn0.2Zr0.8O2 exhibited similar textural properties...
As renewable energy source integration increases, P2G technology that can store surplus power as methane is expected to expand. The development of a CO2 methanation catalyst, one the core processes concept, being actively conducted. In this work, low-rank coal (LRC) was used catalyst support for methanation, it potentially enhance diffusion and adsorption behavior by easily controlling pore structure composition. It also improve process efficiency owing its simplicity (no pre-reduction step)...
The catalyzed direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from and oxygen has the potential to become a lower cost more environmentally friendly alternative commercially practiced anthraquinone process. However, date safety, selectivity, product stability challenges have prevented commercialization this development commercial process will benefit detailed understanding mechanism kinetics challenging reaction. In study, kinetic modeling experiments were carried out on Pd/Al2O3, PdAu/Al2O3,...
In this communication we describe the application of a conductive polymer gas sensor as an air pressure sensor. The device consists thin doped poly(4'-hexyloxy-2,5-biphenylene ethylene) (PHBPE) film deposited on interdigitated metallic electrode. is cheap, easy to fabricate, lasts for several months, and suitable measuring pressures in range between 100 700 mmHg.
Manganese-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) metalated with Rh were used as pre-catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. Activated insitu (80% H2, 20% CO2, 350°C), the resulting templated catalysts displayed conversion of up to 20%, CH4 main product. Used compared samples in 5% H2/Ar at 350°C using powder X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that under reducing atmosphere Rh0 nanoparticles formed organic MOF...
Developing advanced catalysts with high activity and low cost is a hot topic for CO 2 methanation at temperatures. Co/C well-dispersed Co nanoparticles in the channels of ordered mesoporous carbons have been synthesized specific surface area uniform pore size. Then, size control Ru incorporation conducted to promote catalytic activity. The results show that Ru–Co/C smaller particle ([Formula: see text][Formula: text]nm) mono-dispersion achieve conversion rate 31.7% CH 4 selectivity up 75.8%....
