Free-standing nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber (NCNF) films based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) were prepared simply by the combination of electrospinning and thermal treatment. We reused the nitrogen-rich gas generated as the byproduct of PAN at elevated temperature, mainly NH3, for surface etching and nitrogen doping. The as-obtained NCNFs exhibited a rougher surface and smaller diameter than pri...

2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazanomethylphenol (dnphmp) was immobilized onto silicate rice husk ash to form a heterogeneous catalyst denoted as rhdnph. the elemental and edx analysis of rhdnph showed the nitrogen is incorporated into silica. the rhdnph had 154.6 m2g-1 as a specific surface area. the ft-ir clearly showed the appearance of –nh and c=n absorption band at the expected range. the tga curve ...

Ammonia synthesis via nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is amongst the hottest topics in current applied catalysis field. Theoretical investigations usually cover description of mechanisms support to experimental findings but are also used predict prior-to-synthesis behaviours. This brief review talks about importance methodology, reliability model, and selectivity, as some most significant asp...

vo2+ and its complexes with ethylenediamine (en), acetylacetonate (acac), 2, 2’-bipyridine(bpy) ligands, immobilized within nanoreactors of al-mcm-41 designated as vo2+/al-mcm-41 or vol2/al-mcm-41, were prepared and characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd), ft-ir, bet nitrogen adsorption-desorption and chemical analysis techniques. vo2+/al-mcm-41 and vol2/al-mcm-41 were found to catalyze...

cu(ii) complex with l-histidine (his) ligand, immobilized within al-mcm-41, designated as cu(his)2/al-mcm-41 was prepared and characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), nitrogen adsorption desorption, ftir, uv-vis and chemical analysis techniques. the surface area and pore volume were found to decrease after immobilization of cu(ii) complex on al-mcm-41. it was found that cu(his)2/al-mcm-...

The search for and exploitation of efficient catalytic systems for selective conversion of furfural into various high value-added chemicals remains a huge challenge for green synthesis in the chemical industry. Here, novel Pt nanoparticles supported on bamboo shoot-derived porous heteroatom doped carbon materials were designed as highly active catalysts for controlled hydrogenation of furfural ...
