A weak surface modification is applied to Co/SiO2 catalyst by hydrothermal treatment at 180°C for 5 h. Aluminum is introduced to Co/SiO2 catalysts during the surface modification. The effects of surface modification on Co/SiO2 catalyst are studied by changing the operating sequences of surface modification and cobalt impregnation in the catalyst preparation. Surface modification before cobalt i...

Hybrid photocatalysts were prepared by depositing a macrocyclic cobalt complex on TiO2 surfaces. Upon UV light irradiation, photoexcited electrons in TiO2 nanoparticles were transferred to the surface cobalt catalyst for CO2 reduction.

The structure-activity relations in the alumina-supported cobalt catalysts are studied at the realistic conditions of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using in situ time-resolved XRD and catalytic measurements. Cobalt sintering during the first 3-5 h of the reaction and cobalt carbidisation at a longer time on stream (>8 h) coincide with catalyst deactivation.

Deactivation of cobalt and nickel catalysts in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and methanation JAVIER BARRIENTOS Akademisk avhandling som med tillstånd av KTH i Stockholm framlägges till offentlig granskning för avläggande av teknologie doktorsexamen fredagen den 23 september kl.

A series of cationic cobalt porphyrins was found to catalyze electrochemical water oxidation to O2 efficiently at room temperature in neutral aqueous solution. Co-5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(1,3-dimethylimidazolium-2-yl)porphyrin, with a highly electron-deficient meso-dimethylimidazolium porphyrin, was the most effective catalyst. The O2 formation rate was 170 nmol · cm(-2) · min(-1) (k(obs) = 1.4 × 1...

Owing to their high energy-conversion efficiency, low or even zero emission, and high energy and power density, fuel cells such as proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) have drawn tremendous attention as potential clean and efficient power sources for both electric vehicles and portable electronics. A major limiting factor of energy-conversion efficie...

cobalt hydrogensulfate is an efficient catalyst for the condensation of β-naphthol, aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione at 120 °c to afford 9,9-dimethyl-12-phenyl-8,10,11,12-tetrahydro-9-h-benzo[a]xanthen-11-one derivatives in high yields. also, polycondensation reactions of phenols with phthalic anhydride were carried out in the presence of cobalt hydrogensulphate under so...

Replacement of precious noble metal catalysts with low-cost, non-noble heterogeneous catalysts for chemoselective reduction and reductive coupling of nitro compounds holds tremendous promise for the clean synthesis of nitrogen-containing chemicals. We report a robust cobalt-nitrogen/carbon (Co-N x /C-800-AT) catalyst for the reduction and reductive coupling of nitro compounds into amines and th...

A new molecular catalyst based on cobalt complex [LCoCl] (1) is formed by the reaction of N, N-dimethylethylenediamino-N,N-bis(2,4-dimethyl) phenol (H2L) with CoCl2 6H2O for electrolytic water reduction. To our knowledge 1 is by far the most active electrocatalyst for hydrogen generation from water with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 2744 mol of hydrogen per mole of catalyst per hour at an overp...
