Gold dispersed on various oxide supports has been shown to exhibit high activity in a variety of important catalytic reactions, the most widely investigated of which remains the low-temperature oxidation of CO to CO2 [1]. The nature of the oxide support can have a profound effect on the activity of the catalysts, and Au-catalysts utilizing nanocrystalline oxide supports such as CeO2 and Y2O3 ha...

Bbstract Recent developments involving polymer-supported metal complexes as catalysts in oxidation reactions, using dioxygen, hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydroperoxides, hypochlorite anion and iodosobenzene as oxidants are reviewed. binding of dioxygen, and in catalysis, along with the structurally closely related metallo-phthalocyanines, oxidative polymerization catalysed by polymer-supported cop...

A series of vanadia catalysts supported on SBA-15 (V/SBA) with a vanadia (V) content ranging from 1% to 11% were prepared by an incipient wetness method. Their catalytic behavior in the dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutene with CO2 was examined. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and temperatur...

Silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO-34) molecular sieve doped with transition metals, Mn and Ni, with different molar ratios (Mn/Ni=0.33, 3) were investigated for their activity, selectivity and lifetime in biomethanol to olefins reaction. MnNiAPSO-34 nanostructured catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method and addition of metals was carried out by isomorphous substitution into the crystalline f...

Synthesis of different kinds of nanotubes were considering after the discovery of carbon nanotubes . Lately has been noticed synthesis of vanadium oxide nanotubes. Vanadium oxide nanotubes are made of multilayer scrolls with thick walls built up from several vanadium oxide layers. This compunds be used as catalysts, molecular sieves, absorbents and energy storage devices. In this research study...
