Catalytic activity of Cu-CeO2-ZrO2 for biodiesel production
Wongvitvichot W., Jampa S., Luengnaruemitchai A., Chaisuwan T., Wongkasemjit S., Chulalongkorn University, TH
Ceria-Zirconia (CeO2-ZrO2, CZ) was synthesized using two different methods, coprecipitation (copre) and nanocasting (nanocast), for using as support material for copper (Cu) catalyst. Cu-CeO2-ZrO2 (CuCZ) was applied for esterification reaction in biodiesel production. Structure and [...]
Removal of Water Contaminants Using Nanotechnology
Propanil, Diuron, Simazine, and Metolachlor are widely used as herbicides and pesticides in California agriculture and across the U.S., and are considered to pose a significant threat to water contamination by transporting chemicals into surface [...]
Ag/Ag3PO4-doped BiPO4 heterostructures and their photocatalytic applications under visible light irradiation
Chen Y.J., Tseng C.-S., Tseng P.-J., Huang C.W., Tseng C.-S., Tseng P.-J., Wu M.-Y., Wu T.H., Lai C.-Y., Wu M.-Y., Wu T.H., Lin Y-W, National Changhua University of Education, TW
Ag/Ag3PO4-doped BiPO4 (Ag/Ag3PO4/BiPO4) heterostructures were synthesized by the hydrothermal method combined with the sonochemical process. Powder X-ray diffractometry, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the heterostructures. The [...]
A Combined Photoelectrochemical and Theoretical Study to Understand Adsorption Properties of Organic Molecules on TiO2 Surfaces
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) applications in clean energy generation and environmental remediation involve interactions between organic species and TiO2 materials. Such interactions not only depend on the intrinsic properties of TiO2, but also on its surfaces [...]
Study of a Power Source Based on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENRs) Using Hydrogen Pressurized Nanoparticles
We are studying anomalous heat, attributed to Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENRs), generated from metal alloy nanoparticles loaded with hydrogen (or deuterium) through pressurizing the vessel containing the particles [1]. The primary result thus far [...]
Raney Nickel Catalyst – A Molecular Modeling Study
Porous solid materials are central to various application areas. Due to their specific structural features, they are often used in catalysis, as storage material for hydrogen or small molecules, or as molecular sieves, but they [...]
High potential of mesoporous ceria/ceria-zirconia synthesized via nanocasting pathway for catalytic applications
Presently, nanocasting process, an alternative synthesis pathway, has been widely employed to synthesize and design ordered nonsiliceous mesoporous materials. In this work, mesoporous ceria (CeO2) and mesoporous ceria-zirconia (CeO2-ZrO2), were successfully prepared via nanocasting method [...]
Mechanical alloying for green catalyst synthesis
Over a decade, bimetallic catalyst performed tremendously powerful catalytic activities in many fields of chemistry, especially, hydroxylation of benzene or phenol, and selective hydrogenation in α,β-unsaturated aldehyde due to its versatile properties from the second [...]
