Ultrathin Co(3)O(4) nanostructures with high catalytic oxidation of CO were synthesized by heating cobalt foils under atmospheric conditions. The Co(3)O(4) nanostructures were selectively exposing (111) planes composed of plenty of Co(3+) cations. We observed ultrahigh catalytic oxidation of CO in Co(3)O(4) nanowires with about 3 nm diameter.

nanostructured iron oxide powder that has been recovered from waste pickling liquor unit of steel industry was studied for oxidation catalytic applications. in this research, the powder was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transition electron microscopy (tem) for determination of phase structure, morphology and particle size. furthermore, the specific surface area of the powder was ...

cobalt chromite (cocr2o4) with normal spinel structure, shows catalytic activity for oxidation of unburned methane in the natural gas vehilcles (ngv). in this study, cocr2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized through a conventional co-precipitation technique and investigated for the catalytic combustion of methane. cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, chromium nitrate nonahydrate and ammonia solution (25%) ...

Cobalt oxide catalysts supported on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) for the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide were prepared by an impregnation-ultrasound method. These catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, TEM, XRD, Raman, and H2-TPR methods. The XRD and Raman results indicated that the phase of the synthesized cobalt...

Here, metal nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction of the corresponding metal salts in the presence of chitosan polymer. Binary and ternary metallic-chitosan Pt-Fe-CH, Pt-Co-CH and Pt-Fe-Co-CH nanocomposites were prepared. Transmission electron microscopy images and UV–Vis spectra of the nanocomposites confirmed the presence of the metal nanoparticles. The electrocatalytic activit...

Arsenate exerts a catalytic effect on the oxidation of pyrogallol by atmospheric oxygen, on the catalytic oxidation of pyrogallol by metallic iron, and on the presumably enzymatic production of CO(2) by Elodea canadensis.

Doping CeO2 with Pd atoms has been associated with catalytic CO oxidation, but current surface models do not allow CO adsorption. Here, we report a new structure of Pd-doped CeO2(111), in which Pd adopts a square planar configuration instead of the previously assumed octahedral configuration. Oxygen removal from this doped structure is favorable. The resulting defective Pd-doped CeO2 surface is...

A cellular automaton model is used to describe the dynamics of the catalytic oxidation of CO on a Pt(100) surface. The cellular automaton rules account for the structural phase transformations of the Pt substrate, the reaction kinetics of the adsorbed phase and diffusion of adsorbed species. The model is used to explore the spatial structure that underlies the global oscillations observed in so...

In this study, Co (III) salen complex was synthesized and immobilized onto the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticle. The heterogeneous nanocatalyst was characterized by different techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption−desorption isotherm (BET), ...
