The catalytic properties of LaCoO 3 in the oxidation of organic molecules in aqueous solution are explored as a function of doping with both Sr substitution for La and Fe and Ni substitution for Co. VUV photoemission is used to explore the surface reactivity of the ceramic catalysts in aqueous solution, using H 2 O as a probe molecule. These measurements are complemented by EXAFS and XANES measurements designed to probe the local defect structure and by GC measurements of catalytic activity in the aqueous epoxidation of crotyl alcohol. We relate the observed catalytic activity to the defect structure of the doped materials. In Ni-doped materials, oxygen vacancies appear to be the predominant defect, whereas in Fe-doped samples, electron holes are stabilised on Fe, leading to very different behaviour in oxidation. The surface reactivity to water is also influenced by the TM d electron count, with water binding more strongly to Fe-doped materials than to those containing Ni. The influence of these factors on the rate of the unwanted hydrogen peroxide decomposition reaction and hence on activity in epoxidation is discussed.

The formation of Cօ2+ : phenylalanine (Phe) 1:1 complex has been confirmed via kinetic study in aqueous solution at pH>7, which acts as a model catalyst for the decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide (ROOH) in Co2++Phe+ROOH+H2O system. The kinetic expression of a single catalytic decomposition reaction of ROOH under the influence of [CoPhe]+ complex, as well as the Arrhenius equation describing the temperature dependence of the effective constant Keff (=Kcat[Co2+]0[Phe]0) of ROOH decay rate in the temperature range from 323 to 343 K are brought out.

The catalytic properties of two-component catalyst nickel oxide-cadmium oxide with the proportions of the components covering the whole composition region 0-100% were examined by studying the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution on it. In the range 0-25 mol.% CdO, cadmium oxide is found to affect infavourably the ability of nickel oxide to chemisorb oxygen. The amount of the chemisorbed oxygen increases several times on gamma irradiation of the samples. The effect of cadmium oxide on the catalytic activity of the system shows up in fresh samples only indirectly via the changed amount of the oxygen chemisorbed. In older samples the initial catalytic activity of the system is changed, which can be explained based on the concept of bivalent catalytic centres in terms of the co-action of the catalytic centres of the two oxides, which are in equilibrium. The irradiation of the system under study speeds up the processes leading to the establishing of this equilibrium which is thermally very stable, and results in a substantial increase of the catalytic activity of the samples investigated.

A new AuNPs-based thermosensitive nanoreactor (SiO2@PMBA@Au@PNIPAM) was designed and prepared by stabilizing AuNPs in the layer of poly(N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide) (PMBA) and subsequent wrapping with the temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) layer. The new nanoreactor exhibited high dispersibility and stability in aqueous solution and effectively prevented the aggregation of AuNPs caused by the phase transformation of PNIPAM. The XPS and ATR-FTIR results indicated that AuNPs could be well stabilized by PMBA due to the electron transfer between the N atoms of amide groups in the PMBA and Au atoms of AuNPs. The catalytic activity and thermoresponsive property of the new nanoreactor were invested by the reduction of the environmental pollutant, 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), with NaBH4 as a reductant. It exhibited a higher catalytic activity at 20 °C and 30 °C (below LCST of PNIPAM), but an inhibited catalytic activity at 40 °C (above LCST of PNIPAM). The PNIPAM layer played a switching role in controlling the catalytic rate by altering the reaction temperature. In addition, this nanoreactor showed an easily recyclable property due to the existence of a silica core and also preserved a rather high catalytic efficiency after 16 times of recycling.

ABSTRACTWe report a study on catalytic water oxidation by cobalt in oxygen ligand environments because such systems are as promising as any in the water oxidation component of solar fuel production. We have re-examined the catalytic activity of Co(II) in aqueous solution using either [Ru(bpy)3]3+ as a stoichiometric oxidant or in visible-light-driven reactions with persulfate as a sacrificial electron acceptor. In both systems a distinctive induction period is observed. A simple kinetic model is proposed that describes the experimental data well. The presence of an induction period is explained by relatively slow formation of the true catalyst from aquacobalt(II).

The kinetics of the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of a-methylallyl acetate in aqueous solution have been studied over the range 30-100�. Oxygen-18 tracer experiments reveal the mechanism to be solely Aac2 and the Arrhenius parameters are consistent with this conclusion. Crotyl alcohol is observed in the reaction products. The formation of rearranged alcohol is explained by allylic isomerization of the α-methylallyl alcohol produced by the hydrolysis.

ABSTRACTA series of boron doped a-Si:H films have been characterized by PDS, FTIR, Raman, and SIMS in order to evaluate the effects of boron incorporation on structural properties and hydrogen bonding. Doping by B2H6 or B(CH3)3 does not significantly enhance the overall disorder of the silicon network showing up in the TO-like Raman halfwidth whereas remarkable changes in local, defect related structures are evident from PDS. An analysis of the data suggests two bands of defects in the pseudogap at low boron concentration and only one band for higher concentration. To account for Fermi level positions, shifts of the hole transport path well into the valence band tail upon doping must be invoked.
