in this work, we report synthesis and characterization of bi2o3 nanoparticles loaded on mesoporous mcm-41 nanoparticles by a simple solid-state dispersion (ssd) method. monoclinic bismuth oxide nanoparticles were prepared by polyacrylamide gel method and used as loading materials on the prepared mesoporous mcm-41 as a supporting material. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray p...

We study the selective catalytic oxidation of ethanol with air as a sustainable alternative route to acetaldehyde. The reaction is catalysed by molybdenum oxide supported on titania, in a flow reactor under ambient pressure. High selectivity to acetaldehyde (70%-89%, depending on the Mo loading) is obtained at 150 °C. Subsequently, we investigate the structure/performance relationship for vario...

MCM-41 was used as a support and, by using atomic layer deposition (ALD) in the liquid phase, a catalyst was prepared by consecutively loading titanium oxide and vanadium oxide to the support. This research analyzes the effect of the loading amount of vanadium oxide on the acidic characteristics and catalytic performance in the dehydration of butanol. The physical and chemical characteristics o...

The addition of multifunctional additives comprised of singleor double-ring aromatic cores decorated at their periphery with multiple hydrogen-bond-donating groups such as carboxylic acid and phenol is shown to induce microphase segregation of otherwise disordered Pluronic BCP (poly(ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-ethylene oxide)) surfactant melts, resulting in the formation of well-ordered supr...
