A polyethylenimine-impregnated hierarchical silica monolith exhibited significantly higher CO(2) capturing capacity than other silica-supported amine sorbents, and produced a reversible and durable sorption performance.

Recent debates over the active site structure of supported vanadia/silica catalysts have suggested the existence of a surface vanadium peroxo-oxo "umbrella" structure. This study definitively demonstrates with Raman and UV-vis spectroscopy that the surface vanadia peroxo-oxo umbrella-like structure is not present for both hydrated and dehydrated supported vanadia catalysts such as supported van...

The activated carbon-supported TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2/AC) were prepared by a properly controlled sol-gel method. The effects of activated carbons (AC) support on inactivated properties of TiO2 nanoparticles were evaluated by photocatalytic inactivation experiments of Escherichia coli. The key factors affecting the inactivation efficiency were investigated, including electric power of lamp, te...

The silica supported platinum nanoparticles was synthesized by using the sol-gel method. The possibility of using diamminedinitro platinum (II) as Pt precursor and effect of metal precursor concentration on the final Pt nanoparticle size was investigated. A stable silica sol was prepared via hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a metal alcoxide and condensation reaction. Subsequentl...

a series of fe3o4 supported on mesoporous fdu-12 silica systems were prepared by the hydrothermal conditions. the surface properties of the functionalized catalyst were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like ftir, xrd, n2 adsorption–desorption and tem. xrd and adsorption–desorption analysis shows that the mesostructure of fdu silica remains intact after fe3o4 modifications, wh...

Ni0.9Fe0.1 alloy-supported solid oxide fuel cells with NiTiO3 (NTO) infiltrated into the cell support from 0 to 4 wt.% are prepared and investigated for CH4 steam reforming activity and electrochemical performance. The infiltrated NiTiO3 is reduced to TiO2-supported Ni particles in H2 at 650 °C. The reforming activity of the Ni0.9Fe0.1-support is increased by the presence of the TiO2-supported ...

Developing effective heterogeneous metal catalysts with high selectivity and satisfactory activity for chemoselective hydrogenation of alkyne to alkene is of great importance in the chemical industry. Herein, we report our efforts to fabricate TiO2-supported Pd catalysts by a photodeposition method at room temperature for phenylacetylene semihydrogenation to styrene. The resulting Pd/TiO2 catal...

A novel photocatalyst based on TiO2-PANI composite supported on small pieces of cork has been reported. It was prepared by simple impregnation method of the polyaniline (PANI)-modified TiO2 on cork. The TiO2-PANI/Cork catalyst shows the unique feature of floating on the water surface. The as-synthesized catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrograph (SEM), t...

The catalytic hydrogenation of lactic acid to 1,2-propanediol with supported Ru catalysts in water was investigated. The influence of catalyst support (activated carbon, γ-Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, and CeO2) and promoters (Pd, Au, Mo, Re, Sn) on the catalytic performance was evaluated. Catalytic tests revealed that TiO2 yields the best Ru catalysts. With a monometallic Ru/TiO2 catalyst, a 1,2-propaned...
