Chemical and Phase Transformations of Nanocrystalline Oxides in a Carbon Nanoreactor

Volodin A.M., Zaikovskii V.I., Bedilo A.F., Klabunde K.J., Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, RU

The application of nanocrystalline oxides as precursors for synthesis of new nanomaterials with the preservation of the dimensions of the initial nanoparticles is of considerable interest. Its main problem is the sintering and growth of [...]

Synthesis of Nanocrystalline VOx/MgO Aerogels and Their Application for Destructive Adsorption of CF2Cl2

Ilyina E.V., Mishakov I.V., Vedyagin A.A., Bedilo A.F., Klabunde K.J., Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, RU

Nanocrystalline VOx/MgO is extensively studied as a potential catalyst and adsorbent. In this commutation we shall report further advances to the recently developed method for synthesis of binary VOx/MgO aerogels by hydrolysis of the V [...]

Synthesis of Sulfated and Carbon-Coated Al2O3 Aerogels and Their Activity in Dehydrochlorination of 1-Chlorobutane and (2-Chloroethyl)ethyl Sulfide

Bedilo A.F., Volodin A.M., Klabunde K.J., Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, RU

Alumina is widely used as a sorbent and catalyst support. These applications typically require high surface area, stability in the used environment and often the presence of specific groups on the surface. Many of these [...]
