The sonochemical synthesis of Co–Pt nanoparticles anchored on cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) was demonstrated. An enhancement in the catalytic activity of the synthesized Co–Pt/CNF nanocomposite catalyst was observed for the reduction of p-NP due to synergy effects.

A simple colloidal processing method was used to synthesize chitosan Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite and its use aimed at the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in the presence of NaBH4 as reductant. The nanocomposite catalyst was characterized using different technquies and revealed its better catalytic ability than pure TiO2. Since the nanocomposites are readily improved from the solution phase without centrifugation or filtration. The catalytic activity trials were examined by changing the catalyst dose, concentration of NaBH4, amount of nitrobenzene and temperature. The reduction reactions were affected by the temperature of reaction medium and the concentration of NaBH4. The photodegradation conditions were optimized by changing different parameters such as irradiation time, dosage, pH and initial dye concentration.

The presence of bromate in water sources generates environmental concern due to its toxicity for humans. Diverse technologies, like membranes, ion exchange, chemical reduction, etc., can be employed to treat bromate-polluted water but they produce waste that must be treated. An alternative to these technologies can be the catalytic reduction of bromate to bromide using hydrogen as a reducing agent. In this review, we analyze the research published about this catalytic technology. Specifically, we summarize and discuss about the state of knowledge related to (1) the different metals used as catalysts for the reaction; (2) the influence of the support on the catalytic activity; (3) the characterization of the catalysts; (4) the reaction mechanisms; and (5) the influence of the water composition in the catalytic activity and in the catalyst stability. Based on published papers, we analyze the strength and weaknesses of this technique and the possibilities of using this reaction for the treatment of bromate-polluted water as a sustainable process.

Uniform CoSn(OH)6 hollow nanoboxes and the derivative with Pt loading (Pt/CoSn(OH)6) were herein synthesized and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). SEM and TEM analyses showed that CoSn(OH)6 possessed mesoporous hollow structure and Pt nanoparticles with size of 2–8[Formula: see text]nm were uniformly dispersed on the surface of CoSn(OH)6 nanoboxes. The performances of the catalysts for the formaldehyde (HCHO) removal at room temperature were evaluated. These Pt/CoSn(OH)6 catalysts exhibited a remarkable catalytic activity as well as stability for room-temperature oxidative decomposition of gaseous HCHO, while the corresponding CoSn(OH)6 only showed adsorption. The synergetic effect between the highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles and the CoSn(OH)6 nanoboxes with mesoporous hollow structure, a large surface area and abundant surface hydroxyl groups is considered to be the main reason for the observed high catalytic activity of Pt/CoSn(OH)6.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is a well-proven method to reduce NO emission. However, to choose the right catalyst that provides a surface for reaction between NO and ammonia at low temperatures is a challenging task for a catalysts developers. In an earlier study, we prepared V2O5-CeO2-SiO2 catalyst with increasing V2O5 content by sol-gel route and found that the catalytic activity improved with increasing the V2O5 loading up to 0.5%. The catalytic activity, however, dropped when V2O5 loading was about 1% and increased back when the loading of V2O5 was about 5%. In this study, we looked into the microstructural relationship to explain these findings. The microstructures of the catalysts before and after exposure to NO gas revealed that the catalysts with 0.2% and 0.5% V2O5 were more porous after the reduction process possibly due to improved breakdown of (NH4)HCO3 to NH3 by the possible interaction with the V2O5 and CeO2-containing catalysts which consequently resulted in a more efficient NO reduction to N2 and H2O at low temperature. The microstructure of the catalyst with 1% V2O5 content to 5%, improved back the efficiency although clogging by CeVO4 phase still possible due to its presence based on XRD. The well-ordered micropores before exposure to NO and the more efficient breakdown of (NH4)HCO3 could have contributed to increase back the catalytic activity at low temperature.

A novel Pd1Ni4 bimetal nanocomposite catalyst was prepared and showed better performance than their monometallic counterpart. What's more, the catalyst could be reused ten times without significant change in catalytic activity, which met the request of sustainable chemistry.
