Freestanding tantalum oxide nanotubes (Ta2O5 NTs) were easily fabricated by controlling only the electrolyte temperature during anodization in a sulfuric acid solution. When decreased, adherence of NTs to Ta substrate increased. High temperatures facilitated formation freestanding NTs. Thermal treatment Ta2O5 below 750 °C resulted an amorphous structure. The orthorhombic crystalline phase appeared at higher than °C. effect thermal on structure and morphology showed that retained their...
Copper catalysts are very promising, affordable alternatives for noble metals in CO oxidation; however, the nature of active species remains unclear and differs throughout previous reports. Here, we report preparation 8 nm copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs), with high metallic content, directly deposited onto surface silica nanopowders by magnetron sputtering deposition. The as-prepared Cu/SiO2 contains 85% Cu0 15% Cu2+ was enriched phase H2 soft pretreatment (96% 4% Cu2+) or further oxidized...
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) display distinct characteristics as hydrogenation catalysts, with higher selectivity and lower catalytic activity than group 8–10 metals. The ability of AuNPs to chemisorb/activate simple molecules is limited by the low coordination number surface sites. Understanding pathways involved in reactions promoted supported crucial for broadening their potential applications. In this study, we demonstrate that mechanism catalyzed "clean" surfaces may proceed via homolytic...
A simple one-step method based on the sputtering deposition of Ni nanoparticles (NP) has been developed for production magnetic biocatalysts, avoiding complications and drawbacks methods chemical functionalisation or coating NP.

The use of metal/oxide nanoparticles (NPs) as cocatalysts in heterogeneous photocatalysis is an important strategy to improve the photocatalytic activity semiconductors for hydrogen generation. This article reports a modified sputtering deposition method prepare ultrafine NiO NPs dispersed on anodic Ta2O5 nanotubes (NTs). In situ X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) measurements revealed that after exposing as-prepared Ni air atmosphere mixture 68% and 32% was formed. Pure phase...
Going against tradition: Uniformly distributed Pd nanoparticles on imidazolium-ionic-liquid-modified Al2O3 surfaces are prepared by a top down approach using new sputtering chamber. The hydrogenation of 1,3-cyclohexadiene is used to probe the surface properties these nanoparticles. A chamber that allows constant mixing solid support during an electro-magnetic oscillator was developed for generation metal (top approach) uniformly over supports. By this chamber, small and well-distributed...
