Advances (and limits) in photocatalytic building materials
Titanium dioxide has often been indicated as emerging technique for environment depollution, specially in urban environments. It can be easily added to building materials, such as concrete or mortar elements, or as coating to any [...]
Novel Hierarchically Ordered Porous Vanado-Silicate Nanocomposites for the Application in Industrial Catalysis
A novel hierarchically ordered porous vanado-silicate nanocompsoites were fabricated with isolated vanadium species with well dispersed state in the porous martrix for the oxidation of bulkier organic molecules i.e cyclooctene for the selective production of [...]
Peptide Nanoparticle Catalysis
Improved catalysis for more efficient chemical processing, biomass conversions and water oxidation-hydrogen production will be important for achieving new clean technologies. Our research work involves a novel approach to produce catalytic mechanistic properties in synthetic [...]
Controlled Synthesis of Subnano Pd Cluster Catalysts by Fine Tuning of Dendrimers
We recently succeeded in the fine control of the Pd cluster sizes in wide range using the fifth generation poly(propylene imine) (PPI) dendrimers. Preorganization of Pd ions within the PPI dendrimer with butanediamine core(G5-C4) and [...]
Template – assisted sol – gel approach to synthesize new perspective alumina based catalysts
Vinogradov A.V., Vinogradov V.V., Vinogradov A.V., Vinogradov V.V., Agafonov A.V., Institute of Solution Chemistry of Russian Academy of Sciences, RU
In this work, high stable mesoporous γ-aluminas with different pore structure were synthesized. New kinds of templates were adapted to prepare alumina based catalysts with uniform and bimodal mesopore distribution with ‘small’ and ‘large’ mesopores. [...]
Fabrication of Nanoporous Metals by Dealloying of Ternary Alloys: Evaluation of their Electrocatalytic Properties
Novel nanoporous metals from ternary precursors (i.e., AgAu(Pt) alloys with a platinum content of 1, 2 and 4 at.%) have been developed by electrochemical dealloying. These structures represent a class of functional materials with intriguing [...]
Novel Catalysis of Dendrimer: Efficient Nanocavity of Polyamine Dendrimer for Intramolecular Michael Reaction
The intramolecular Michael reaction of (E)-9-nitro-3-nonen-2-one was investigated using poly(propylene imine) dendrimers with alkyl chain on the periphery (Gx-C16, x = 3-5, x denotes the number of the generation). Gx-C16 showed higher catalytic activity than [...]
Chemical Fluid Deposition of Ru/MCM-41 as Catalyst for Hydrogenation in Green Environments
The Ru/MCM-41 catalyst prepared by chemical fluid deposition technique exhibited high catalytic activity for hydrogenation of p-xylene, bisphenol A, bisphenol F and benzoic acid, which was higher than that of a conventionally prepared Ru/MCM-41 catalyst. [...]
