Octahedral molecular sieve type manganese oxide (OMO) was synthesized by the ultra sonic assisted hydrothermal method, and was subsequently used as supportive material for palladium (Pd) metal towards the electrooxidation of methanol and ethylene glycol. The Pd nanoparticles were coated on the OMO by insitu reduction method. Low quantity of 5% Pd metal was used and the electrocatalytic activity was studied. The prepared OMO and the OMO/Pd nanocomposite were characterized by powder X–ray diffractogram (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X–ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electrochemical methods. These studies demonstrated that the OMO can act as a good catalyst supporting material. The OMO helps to enhance the catalytic activity of Pd metal by supplying the active oxygen, which is extracted from the electrolytic solution. The electrooxidation of EG shows improved catalytic activity.

In this paper, palladium-containing SBA-15 (Pd/SBA-15) was synthesized via a two-step method. In this procedure, Pd nanoparticles of 3-5 nm in size have been synthesized by formalin reduction method and incorporated into mesoporous SBA-15 silica during hydrothermal synthesis. The resulting nanocomposite with 1.20 wt% Pd loading was achieved with highly dispersed and uniform palladium nanoparticles. The catalytic activity of the Pd/SBA-15 nanocomposite was used as a catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. The Pd/SBA-15 nanocomposite exhibited excellent catalytic activities and reuse ability in air for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions.

The hydrothermal reduction of cobalt, manganese and lithium nitrates with ethylene glycol was studied in the temperature range 100-270 оС in order to obtain nanostructured spinels. The phase composition, particle sizes of the reaction products, and their morphology studied by using IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy. We found that the nature of the reaction product of manganese and cobalt nitrates with ethylene glycol (EG) depends on the reaction temperature, the ratio of metal nitrate: ethylene glycol and reaction time. In excess of the reducing agent at temperatures up to 140 оС, observed the formation of metal oxalates. The main product of hydrothermal reduction of manganese nitrate with ethylene glycol at temperatures of 150 оC and 180 оC is manganese oxide Mn3O4 (Hausmanite). At 200 оС obtained the mixture of manganese oxide (Mn3O4) and carbonate (MnCO3). In accordance with the data of X-ray phase analysis at 220 оС and 240 оС, the only reaction product in both cases is manganese carbonate. It was obtained two types of structures on electron-microscopic images of the non-calcined sample at 200 оC: needle-shaped and spherical clusters. It can be assumed that these structures belong to the phases Mn3O4 (Hausmanite) and manganese carbonate MnCO3, respectively. When reduced cobalt nitrate with ethylene glycol in the temperature range 120-220 оC, gives a main amorphous phase, and on X-ray diffraction patterns are observed weak reflections corresponding to cobalt oxide Co3O4. It was shown that upon calcination (at 750 оС) of the samples during the reduction of the mixture of cobalt and manganese nitrates, was obtained the spinel phase of the composition (Co,Mn)(Co,Mn)2O4. In a similar way were obtained Li2CoMn3O8 and LiCoO2 phases (with average particle sizes of 42 nm and 30 nm), which can be used as cathodes in lithium batteries.

Pd nanoparticles (NPs) supported on amine-functionalized layered double hydroxides (LDHs) (Pd/NH2-LDH-NS) were successfully obtained by implanting aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) on MgAl LDH nanosheets (LDH-NS), followed by impregnating [Pd(NH3)4]Cl2 and reduction with NaBH4. The physicochemical characteristics of the obtained Pd/NH2-LDH-NS were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR),, N2 adsorption–desorption, inductive coupled plasma (ICP), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), and their catalytic performance was tested in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol with molecular oxygen under solvent-free and base-free conditions. The results showed that the implanted –NH2 groups can promote the dispersion of the supported Pd NPs via complexation of the implanted –NH2 groups to Pd NPs, and they can increase the surface basicity of the catalysts, thus enhancing the catalytic activity and selectivity to benzylaldehyde. Pd/NH2-LDH-NS exhibited enhanced catalytic activity (31.6%) and selectivity (>98%) compared to the corresponding Pd/LDH-NS, Pd/LDH, Pd/SiO2, and Pd/Al2O3. Moreover, Pd/NH2-LDH-NS was remarkably stable and could be reused at least four times without a significant loss in activity and selectivity.

Carbon-supported platinum is used as an anode and cathode electrocatalyst in low-temperature fuel cells fueled with low-molecular-weight alcohols in fuel cells. The cost of Pt and its low activity towards the complete oxidation of these fuels are significant barriers to the widespread use of these types of fuel cells. Here, we report on the development of PtRhNi nanocatalysts supported on carbon made using a reduction chemistry method with different atomic rates. The catalytic activity of the developed catalysts towards the electro-oxidation of methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerol in acidic media was studied. The obtained catalysts performances were compared with both commercial Pt/C and binary Pt75Ni25/C catalyst. The nanostructures were characterized, employing inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The binary catalyst presents a mean particle size of around 2 nm. Whereas the ternary catalysts present particles of similar size and with some large alloy and core–shell structures. The alcohol oxidation onset potential and the current density measured after 3600 s of chronoamperometry were used to classify the catalytic activity of the catalysts towards the oxidation of methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerol. The best PtRhNi/C catalyst composition (i.e., Pt43Rh43Ni14/C) presented the highest activity for alcohols oxidation compared with all catalysts studied, indicating the proper tuning composition influence in the catalytic activity. The enhanced activity of Pt43Rh43Ni14/C can be attributed to the synergic effect of trimetallic compounds, Pt, Ni, and Rh.

PtRu or Pt catalysts were supported on four types of carbon nanomaterials with different shapes, sizes, and graphitic and electrical properties, and their resulting catalytic activities were evaluated by electrochemical methods. The carbon nanomaterials used included two types of particles: Arc Black (AcB) and Vulcan XC-72R (Vulcan), and two types of nanofibers: carbon nanocoils (CNC) and VGCF-X. Pt and Ru were loaded onto the nanomaterials by a reduction method using sodium borohydride. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the PtRu catalyst particles to be 4–6 nm in diameters. The shifts in the Pt (111) XRD peaks of the catalysts on CNC and VGCF-X were larger than those on AcB and Vulcan, indicating a higher degree of alloying between Pt and Ru. The diameters of the CNC-supported Pt and PtRu catalyst particles had the narrowest distributions and were constant within the range of catalyst loadings investigated. Electrochemical studies of the catalysts during methanol oxidation were carried out using cyclic voltammetry. The catalyst particles supported on CNC and VGCF-X exhibited higher catalytic activity than those on AcB and Vulcan. The effect of the surface area of the carbon nanomaterials on the catalytic activity is discussed.
