In this study, platinum–cobalt bimetallic catalysts supported on mesoporous silica aerogel (SAG), abbreviated as PCx/SAG,x= 1–6, were prepared by facile chemical reduction and a simple, efficient microwave-assisted method using Co and Pt precursors.

Cubic mesoporous silica SBA-1 functionalized with carboxylic acid (-COOH), namely S1B-C10, is used as a support to fabricate and confine Ru nanoparticles (NPs). The uniformly dispersed organic functional groups in SBA-1 are beneficial in attracting Ru cations, and as a result, homogenously distributed small sized Ru NPs are formed within the mesopores. The prepared Ru@S1B-C10 is utilized as a catalyst for H2 generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB). The Ru@S1B-C10 catalyst demonstrates high catalytic activity for H2 generation (202 mol H2 molRu min−1) and lower activation energy (24.13 kJ mol−1) due to the small sized Ru NPs with high dispersion and the support’s interconnected mesoporous structure. The nanosized Ru particles provide abundant active sites for the catalytic reaction to take place, while the interconnected porous support facilitates homogenous transference and easy dispersal of AB molecules to the active sites. The catalyst demonstrates good recycle ability since the accumulation and leaking of NPs throughout catalysis can be effectively prevented by the support.

Abstract A fast, simple, and energy-saving microwave-assisted approach was successfully developed to prepare carbon microspheres. The carbon microspheres with a uniform particle size and good dispersity were prepared using glucose as the raw material and HCl as the dehydrating agent at low temperature (90°C) in an open system with the assistance of microwave heating. The carbon microspheres were characterized by elemental analysis, XRD, SEM, FTIR, TG, and Raman. The results showed that the carbon microspheres prepared under the condition of 18.5% (v/v) HCl and heating for 30 min by microwave had a narrow size distribution. The core–shell structure of the carbon core and TiO2 shell was prepared with (NH4)2TiF6, H3BO3 using the microwave-assisted method. The hollow TiO2 microspheres with good crystallinity and high photocatalytic properties were successfully prepared by sacrificing the carbon microspheres.
