نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold nanoparticles loaded on nitric acid-pretreated carbon nanotubes are efficient for the selective oxidation of cellobiose by molecular oxygen to gluconic acid in aqueous medium without pH control; a gluconic acid yield of 80% has been obtained at 145 degrees C.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde onto Pt nanoparticles modified poly (m-toluidine)/Triton X-100 film
In this work, spherical Pt nanometer-scale particles supported on the poly (m-toluidine)/Triton X-100 film modified carbon nanotube paste electrode (Pt/PMT (TX-100)/MCNTPE) was used as a potent catalyst for electrooxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) in both 0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.1 M NaOH solutions. The obtained results showed that utilization of TX-100 as an additive during the electropolymerization p...
متن کاملSolvent Pre-treated Effects of Carbon Nanotube-supported Cobalt Catalysts on Activity and Selectivity of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
In this study, the effect of preparation technique of carbon nanotube (CNT)-supported cobalt catalysts on the activity and selectivity of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) was studied. Different concentrations of acetic acid were used for the pretreatment of the catalyst support to modify the surface properties of CNT. This modification improved the reduction degree and dispersion of supported co...
متن کاملGold Nanoparticles as the Catalyst of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Synthesis
Gold nanoparticles have been proven to act as efficient catalysts for chemical reactions, such as oxidation and hydrogen production. In this review we focus on a different aspect of the catalysis of gold nanoparticles; single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) synthesis. This is not a traditional meaning of catalytic reaction, but SWCNTs cannot be synthesized without nanoparticles. Previously, gold...
متن کاملCarbon Support Surface Effects in the Gold-Catalyzed Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural
Oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is an important transformation for the production of bio-based polymers. Carbon-supported gold catalysts hold great promise for this transformation. Here we demonstrate that the activity, selectivity, and stability of the carbon-supported gold nanoparticles in the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural strongly depend on the sur...
