For the first time, a new generation of innovative non-platinum group metal catalysts based on iron and aminoantipyrine as precursor (Fe-AAPyr) has been utilized in a membraneless single-chamber microbial fuel cell (SCMFC) running on wastewater. Fe-AAPyr was used as an oxygen reduction catalyst in a passive gas-diffusion cathode and implemented in SCMFC design. This catalyst demonstrated better...

Producing clean hydrogen from renewable resources will reduce our dependence on using fossil fuels towards a green and sustainable future. Biomass gasification is regarded as a promising technology for hydrogen production. In this work, low cost Ni-based catalyst was applied in a two-stage fixed bed reaction system. Fe was added into Ni-Al catalyst(80mol.% Al) by co-precipitation method with va...

the fe-mcm-22 zeolite was found to be an efficient solid heterogeneous catalyst for synthesis of dihydropyrano [2,3-c] pyrazoles via one pot four component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile in aqueous alcohol. the catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method under autogenous pressure and modified by fe (iii) ion exchange. the prepared cata...

Electric field-induced decomposition of ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen was investigated over CeO2, Fe-, Ru- deposited CePO4 Sr-doped CePO4, CeZrO4 in a packed bed down-flow reactor. The effect applied current, concentration feed, residence time examined using CeO2 alone. conversion also studied with respect to reduction temperature, loading type the metal. activity results have been analyze...

Hydrogen generation technologies have become increasingly important due to recent attention focusing on fuel cells. The water-gas shift reaction, which is performed in two stages as highand low-temperature shift, is of central significance to produce highpurity hydrogen. Generally, the high-temperature water-gas shift reaction (HTS) is conducted on Fe-Cr catalysts. However, these catalytic syst...

A new non-precious metal oxygen reduction catalyst was developed via heat treatment of in situ polymerized polyaniline onto TiO(2) particles in the presence of Fe species. The TiO(2) provides for improved performance relative to a carbon black-based catalyst and, at a high catalyst loading, allows for reducing the performance gap between non-precious-metal catalyst and Pt/C to ca. 20 mV in RDE ...

The use of non-supported Fe nanoparticles in the hydrogenation of unsaturated C-C bonds is a green catalytic concept at the frontier between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Iron nanoparticles can be obtained by reducing Fe salts with strong reductants in various solvents. FeCl(3) reduced by 3 equivalents of EtMgCl forms an active catalyst for the hydrogenation of a range of olefins and...

Fe(3)O(4)@Fe(OH)(3) composite microspheres are highly active, environmentally friendly and easy to recycle catalysts for aldol reactions, which are catalyzed by a solid-liquid interfacial hydrogen bond catalyst at room temperature.

Electronic and magnetic structures of the Ce/Fe(110) system were studied by means of spinand angle-resolved resonant photoemission. Antiferromagnetic coupling of Fe 3d and Ce 4f spin magnetic moments was concluded from spin-resolved photoemission measurements supported by the electronic structure calculations. The relative intensity of the minority-spin component of hybridization feature at the...

A very efficient electrogenerated Fe(0) porphyrin catalyst was obtained by substituting in tetraphenylporphyrin two of the opposite phenyl rings by ortho-, ortho'-phenol groups while the other two are perfluorinated. It proves to be an excellent catalyst of the CO2-to-CO conversion as to selectivity (the CO faradaic yield is nearly quantitative), overpotential, and turnover frequency. Benchmark...
