Microwave assisted reactions have gained considerable attention, due to versatility and reduction ofsolvent and reaction time. The reaction of a nano-coconut shell and boron tri-fluoride in diethylether solvent resulted in preparation of nano-coconut shell-BF3 as a catalyst. The nano-coconutshell-BF3 catalyst has been characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (F...

Abstract We report a “nano-on-micro” approach for growth of cactus-like nanostructures zinc oxide (ZnO) gas sensing application. use electrospun polymeric fibers doped with catalyst nanoparticles as the template and employ vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method to ZnO nanostructures. Controlling processing variables in VLS process yields needle-like around fibers, which resembles needles cactus. The n...

A bio-based magnetic nano-catalyst (Fe3O4@nano-dextrin/Ti(IV)) was synthesized via the preparation of Fe3O4@nano-dextrinas magnetic support and then its treatment with titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4). The properties of this catalyst were characterized by different kinds of techniques such as FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, ICP, XRF, VSM and TGA....

Recently, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles functionalized with various organic groups increasing attention in the synthesis of compounds. In this study, ionic liquid nano-magnetic pyridinium-tribromide (MNPs@SiO2-Pr-AP-tribromide) as a new nano-catalyst was synthesized. The structure catalyst identified by FT-IR, TGA, XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, EDS, TEM and VSM analysis. efficient for quinoline derivat...

A superparamagnetic graphene oxide/Fe₃O₄/l-proline nano hybrid that was obtained from the non-covalent immobilization of l-proline on graphene oxide/Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite was used as a new magnetically separable catalyst for the efficient synthesis of 4,4'-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ol) derivatives. The prepared heterogeneous catalyst was characterized using FTIR, TGA, DTG, XRD, TEM, SEM, an...

We report a simple stepped growth process for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) having excellent field emission properties. CNT growth was interrupted in the process. During the interruption, the catalyst was re-activated in-situ. This resulted in enhanced growth of the CNTs after the interruption and a film of CNTs re-grew on top of an existing CNT film at much higher rates. The enhance...

an efficient and green protocol for the synthesis of pyrazoles derivatives by one-pot reaction of different 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with hydrazines/hydrazides has been developed using nano-sulfated zirconia, nano-structured zno, nano-g-alumina and nano-zsm-5 zeolites, as the catalyst. the optical properties of the nano-structured catalysts and organic molecules were studied. the advantages of ...

in recent years, the effects of heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial wastewaters are spread. traditionally, these reactions are usually carried out using suspensions of photo-catalysts such as tio2. a chemical method including ticl4, al(no3)3, ethanol amine, ethyl acetoacetate and aqueous ammonia were used for the fabrication of tio2-al2o3 ...

Nano-sized flower-like Ag/ZnO was synthesized by a simple method using zinc acetate and silver acetate under hydrothermal condition. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the synthesized powder. Nano flower-like Ag/ZnO was used as a photocatalyst for degradation of humic acid in aqueous solution. The ...

easily prepared nanozno was found to be as an efficient catalyst in the synthesis of 1,4-dhps via four-component reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyls, aldehydes and ammonium carbonate in water at 60 °c. the prepared nanozno was characterized by xrd and ft-ir analysis, while the determined specific surface area of nano catalyst by bet method was 33 m2/g.
