It is well-documented that large-scale pollution generated by human activity has a dramatic impact on ecosystems. In this context, removing harmful chemicals via photocatalysis tremendous potential as depollution method, utilizing freely available solar light and catalytic materials with low or negligible ecotoxicity. The main drawbacks, which aren’t often addressed in the literature, are formation of intermediate products, reaction rates, limited catalyst stability, difficult recovery. most...
Ammonia is one of the common inorganic pollutants in surface waters. It can come from a wide range sources through discharge wastewater (industry, agriculture, and municipal waters). Catalytic ozonation reaction efficiently remove ammonia nitrogen without introducing other improve selectivity products by controlling conditions. Catalysts based on silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have shown excellent O3 decomposition performance; therefore, they are promising catalysts for catalytic due to their...
Well-dispersed Pt–Cu nanoparticles with two average sizes were synthesized: small (≈1.6 nm) and large (≈4.8 nm), respectively.
A family of mesoporous, self-aggregated zinc oxide materials with spherical morphologies high crystalline quality, is obtained through a facile, additive-free polyol procedure.
Highly defected tubular SiO<sub>2</sub>outperforms the photocatalytic activity of TiO<sub>2</sub>-P25 and SiO<sub>2</sub>–TiO<sub>2</sub>composite.
On the surface of morphologically controlled Pt nanoparticles, statistically rich in [100] crystalline facet, nitrite ions were reduced by H2 to N2 with high selectivity.
Well-defined Rh and Rh-Cu nanoparticles (NP's) of 1.6 nm 1.3 nm, respectively, were synthesized by alkaline polyol method then dispersed on insulating (Al 2 O 3 ) semiconducting (TiO supports. Both colloidal NP's supported characterized using various experimental methods (TEM, XPS, XRD, etc.) to gather information about their specific morphology, structure chemical state. The effects size support the catalytic behavior for nitrate hydrogenation reaction analyzed. Oxide supports, especially...
Pd–Cu nanoparticles were synthesized by the alkaline polyol method and further supported on alumina or titania. The show a crystalline Pd core shell rich in amorphous copper as was put evidence complex characterization methods (X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, CO chemisorption). performances of as-prepared catalysts water phase reduction nitrate assessed comparison with obtained impregnation. Supported nanoparticle high activity nitrates,...
