An extensive study of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) on alumina-supported cobalt catalysts with different amounts of cobalt is reported. Up to 40 wt % of cobalt, is added to the catalysts by impregnation method. The effect of the cobalt loading on the reducibility of the cobalt oxide species, dispersion of the cobalt, average clusters size, water-gas shift (WGS) activity and activity and s...

a simple and reliable electrochemical sensor based on cobalt oxide nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (gce/cooxnps) for determination of butylated hydroxyanisole is presented here. the nanoparticles were fabricated by electrodepositing method. the modified electrode shows excellent catalytic activity toward butylated hydroxyanisole oxidation in ph 12.0 phosphate buffer solution (pbs...

Three new volatile cobalt amidinate compounds were prepared: Co(tBuNC(R)NEt)2, R=Me, Et and n-Bu. They were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, X-ray structure analysis, melting point, vapor pressure, vaporization rate, thermal stability and chemical reactivity. They were found to evaporate cleanly without decomposition. Two of them are liquids at room temperature, allowing for more co...

Cobalt-containing polyoxotitanates (TiCo) are excellent precursors for the simple and scalable preparation of Nocera-type CoOx water-oxidation electrocatalysts. The TiCo cages serve as a reservoir for cobalt ions in a titania matrix on fluoride-doped tin oxide electrodes, and form, in situ, the active CoOx catalyst for O2 evolution with high stability in phosphate buffer in pH neutral water.

Modification of the Co-oxo cores of cobalt-polyoxometalate water oxidation catalysts is detectable by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) as demonstrated by comparison of Na10[Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2] (1) and Na17[((Co(H2O))Co2PW9O34)2(PW6O26)] (2). XAS reveals the integrity of 1 uncompromised by oxidant-driven water oxidation, which proceeds without formation of catalytic cobalt oxide.

band-to-band transitions, phonon modes, and oxidation properties of cobalt-oxide core-shell slanted columnar thin films" (2016).

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, we demonstrate that Cobalt/cobalt oxide core-shell nanoparticles integrated on nitrogen-doped (N-doped) three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide aerogel-based architecture (Co/CoO-NGA) were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method followed by annealing treatment. The unique endurable porous structure could provide sufficient mass transfer channels and ample active sites on Co/CoO-...

Control over structure and composition of (ABO3) perovskite oxides offers exciting opportunities since these materials possess unique, tunable properties. Perovskite oxides with cobalt B-site cations are particularly promising, as the range of the cation's stable oxidation states leads to many possible structural frameworks. Here, we report growth of strontium cobalt oxide thin films by molecul...

Development of efficient, robust and earth-abundant water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is extremely desirable for water splitting by electrolysis or photocatalysis. Herein, we report cobalt oxide nanoparticles anchored on the surface of sulfonated graphite (denoted as “CoOx@G-Ph-SN”) to exhibit unexpectedly efficient water oxidation activity with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 1.2 s ; two or three...
