Copper(ii)-containing tungstotellurates(vi): syntheses, structures and their catalytic performances in selective oxidation of thioethers

<div> The synthesis of alloys with long range atomic scale ordering (ordered intermetallics) is an emerging field of nanochemistry. Ordered intermetallic nanoparticles are useful for a wide variety of applications such as catalysis, superconductors, and magnetic devices. However, the preparation of nanostructured ordered intermetallics is challenging in comparison to disordered alloys, hindering progress in materials development. We report a process for converting colloidally synthesized ordered intermetallic PdBi2 to ordered intermetallic Pd3Bi nanoparticles under ambient conditions by an electrochemically induced phase transition. The low melting point of PdBi2 corresponds to low vacancy formation energies which enables the facile removal of the Bi from the surface, while simultaneously enabling interdiffusion of the constituent atoms via a vacancy diffusion mechanism under ambient conditions. The resulting phase-converted ordered intermetallic Pd3Bi exhibits 11x and 3.5x higher mass activty and high methanol tolerance for the oxygen reduction reaction compared to Pt/C and Pd/C, respectively,which is the highest reported for a Pd-based catalyst, to the best of our knowledge. These results establish a key development in the synthesis of noble metal rich ordered intermetallic phases with high catalytic activity, and sets forth guidelines for the design of ordered intermetallic compounds under ambient conditions. </div>

A Pd-Ni/La(Sr)CrO3-Ce(Sm)O2 composite anode showed good performance for solid oxide fuel cell reactions with dry CH4. Compositions of Pd and Ni in the Pd-Ni/La(Sr)CrO3-Ce(Sm)O2 composite anode affected the electrochemical oxidation catalysis of dry CH4. The Pd and Ni ratios from 50:50 to 75:25 were suitable for the oxidation. The Pd-Ni/La(Sr)CrO3-Ce(Sm)O2 composite anode showed the high tolerance to the carbon deposition under closed and open circuit conditions. A Pd-Ni/Ce(Sm)O2 catalyst showed very low catalytic activity for decomposition of dry CH4. A Pd-Ni/SiO2 catalyst showed very high catalytic activity for the decomposition of dry CH4 and a large amount of deposited carbon formed. The Pd-Ni particles on SiO2 were quite multifaceted from TEM-EDS observation. On the other hand, the Pd-Ni particles on Ce(Sm)O2 support had a spherical shape and doping of Ce and Sm was confirmed. This nature should inhibit the formation of particular plane that is essential for the carbon fiber formation. The detail function of Ce(Sm)O2 and La(Sr)CrO3 supports was discussed.

Abstract Several metal nanoparticle based catalysts have been synthesized for catalyzing the hydrogen production process by hydrolysis of methylamine-borane (MeAB). However, there was only one study that catalyzes the producing of hydrogenvia the methanolysis of MeAB, and it was carried out by our research group. For this reason, in this work, a new catalyst system entitled by single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) supported bimetallic platinum-ruthenium nanoparticles were developed and called as PtRu@SWCNT. These NPs were characterized by several techniques (XRD, XPS, Raman, and TEM), and they were performed for the methanolysis of MeAB with high catalytic activity. The prepared PtRu@SWCNT NPs were also tested in the methanolysis of MeAB at different parameters including different temperatures, catalyst and substrate concentrations, and reusability performance. Experimental results revealed that the new PtRu@SWCNT NPs had excellent catalytic activity and reusability for removing of hydrogen from the methanolysis of MeAB at ambient conditions. According to the obtained data, the turnover frequency is 136.25 mole H2/mole PtRu × min, and the activation energy (Ea) is 17.29 kJ/mole. More than 99% of conversion was observed at room temperature.

AbstractThe Cu,Cr-, Zn,Cr- and Cu,Al-layered double hydroxides have been synthesized by the coprecipitation method and characterized by elemental analysis, PXRD, SEM/EDS and BET. The mixed oxide materials obtained upon calcination at 873 K show very high catalytic activity for the combustion of toluene and ethanol. The best sample is derived from the Cu,Cr-LDH precursor with a Cu:Cr ratio of 2, composed of copper oxide and copper chromite. This catalyst gave 50% conversion of toluene and ethanol at temperatures of 45 and 15 K lower, respectively, than the reference commercial catalyst. Catalytic tests with a mechanical mixture of CuO and CuCr2O4 demonstrate that the use of an LDH precursor is essential for optimum results. The importance of the simultaneous presence of both Cu and Cr, the influence of the Cu:Cr ratio on the catalytic activity and the role of the interface boundaries in the CuO-CuCr2O4 mixed oxide system are discussed.

AbstractCoMo nanoparticles (NPs) supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were synthesized by a one-stepin situco-reduction of an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) chloride, sodium molybdate dihydrate and graphene oxide (GO) using NaBH4as the sole reductant under ambient conditions. The powder XRD, FTIR, EDS and TEM were employed to characterize the structure, size and composition of the CoMo/RGO catalysts. The as-synthesized Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO catalysts exhibited high catalytic activity for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) at room temperature. The as-synthesized Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO nanocatalysts exhibited much higher catalytic activity than Co/RGO, Mo/RGO and the RGO-free Co0.9Mo0.1counterpart. Moreover, kinetic studies indicate that the catalytic hydrolysis of AB by Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO has first order kinetics with respect to the the catalyst concentration, but zero order kinetics with respect to the substrate concentration. The Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO catalyst has a turnover frequency (TOF) of 15.8 mol H2·(mol·Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO)−1·min−1at 25°C. Furthermore, the Co0.9Mo0.1/RGO show good recyclability for hydrogen generation from an aqueous solution of AB, which enables the practical reuse of the catalysts. Hence, this general method can be easily extended to the facile preparation of other RGO-based metallic systems.
