ABSTRACTSol-gel derived composite silica-carbon electrodes exhibit favorable electrochemical characteristics. The electrodes benefit from the conductivity and electrochemical advantages of the carbon powder, from the favorable properties of the ceramic network and from the versatility of the sol-gel process. Hydrophobie composite electrodes reject water, only their outermost surface is wetted and they exhibit good signal to background currents. A comparison of several types of carbon powders reveals that higher carbon loading and larger surface area electrodes can be attained by incorporation of dense graphite powder. When high surface area, small size carbon-black powder is used, a homogeneous distribution of microelectrodes, separated by insulating modified silica is formed. This ensemble of microelectrodes increases the sensitivity of the CCEs by more than two orders of magnitude as compared to glassy carbon electrode and graphite CCEs.

Recent years mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) have become important biomaterials because of their high surface area and the superior bioactivity. Various studies have reported that when MBGs implanted in a human body, hydroxyl apatite layers, constituting the main inorganic components of human bones, will form on the MBG surfaces to increase the bioactivity. Therefore, MBGs have been widely applied in the fields of tissue regeneration and drug delivery. The sol-gel process has replaced the conventional glasses process for MBG synthesis because of the advantages of low contamination, chemical flexibility and lower calcination temperature. In the sol-gel process, several types of surfactants were mixed with MBG precursor solutions to generate micelle structures. Afterwards, these micelles decompose to form porous structures after calcination. Although calcination is significant for contamination, crystalline and surface area in MBG, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, only few systematic studies related to calcination were reported. This study correlated the calcination parameters and the microstructure of MBGs. Microstructure evaluation was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The experimental results show that the surface area and the pore size of MBGs decreased with the increasing of the calcination temperature, and decreased dramatically at 800°C due to the formation of crystalline phases.

TiO2-based photocatalysts synthesized by the microwave-assisted sol-gel method was tested in the photocatalytic glucose conversion. Modifications of TiO2 with type-Y zeolite (ZeY) and metals (Ag, Cu, and Ag-Cu) were developed for increasing the dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles and increasing the photocatalytic activity. Effects of the TiO2 dosage to zeolite ratio (i.e., TiO2/ZeY of 10, 20, 40, and 50 mol %) and the silica to alumina ratio in ZeY (i.e., SiO2:Al2O3 of 10, 100, and 500) were firstly studied. It was found that the specific surface area of TiO2/ZeY was 400–590 m2g−1, which was higher than that of pristine TiO2 (34.38 m2g−1). The good properties of 20%TiO2/ZeY photocatalyst, including smaller particles (13.27 nm) and high surface area, could achieve the highest photocatalytic glucose conversion (75%). Yields of gluconic acid, arabinose, xylitol, and formic acid obtained from 20%TiO2/ZeY were 9%, 26%, 4%, and 35%, respectively. For the effect of the silica to alumina ratio, the highest glucose conversion was obtained from SiO2:Al2O3 ratio of 100. Interestingly, it was found that the SiO2:Al2O3 ratio affected the selectivity of carboxylic products (gluconic acid and formic acid). At a low ratio of silica to alumina (SiO2:Al2O3 = 10), higher selectivity of the carboxylic products (gluconic acid = 29% and formic acid = 32%) was obtained (compared with other higher ratios). TiO2/ZeY was further loaded by metals using the microwave-assisted incipient wetness impregnation technique. The highest glucose conversion of 96.9 % was obtained from 1 wt. % Ag-TiO2 (40%)/ZeY. Furthermore, the bimetallic Ag-Cu-loaded TiO2/ZeY presented the highest xylitol yield of 12.93%.

Binding Material

Zeolite-based catalysts are usually utilized in the form of a composite with binders, such as alumina, silica, clay, and others. However, these binders are usually known to block the accessibility of the active sites in zeolites, leading to a decreased effective surface area and agglomeration of zeolite particles. The aim of this work is to utilize carbon nanostructures (CNS) as a binding material for nano-zeolite-Y particles. The unique properties of CNS, such as its high surface area, thermal stability, and flexibility of its fibrous structure, makes it a promising material to hold and bind the nano-zeolite particles, yet with a contemporaneous accessibility of the reactants to the porous zeolite structure. In the current study, a nano-zeolite-Y/CNS composite catalyst was fabricated through a ball milling approach. The catalyst possesses a high surface area of 834 m2/g, which is significantly higher than the conventional commercial cracking catalysts. Using CNS as a binding material provided homogeneous distribution of the zeolite nanoparticles with high accessibility to the active sites and good mechanical stability. In addition, CNS was found to be an effective binding material for nano-zeolite particles, solving their major drawback of agglomeration. The nano-zeolite-Y/CNS composite showed 80% conversion for hexadecane catalytic cracking into valuable olefins and hydrogen gas, which was 14% higher compared to that of pure nano-zeolite-Y particles.

Reactive groups such as silanol, hydroxyl, and carbonyl groups in silica-lignin composites play a role in binding to chromium(VI) ions. The activation of functional groups in silica-lignin can be increased by the addition of an activator such as sodium periodate, which can also oxidize the lignin monomer (guaiasil) to ortho-quinone. This study aimed to obtain silica-lignin composites from rice husks activated by sodium periodate with a high surface area. Composite absorption was tested on chromium(VI) adsorption. Silica-lignin isolation was carried out by using the sol-gel method at concentrations of sodium hydroxide 5, 10, 15, and 20% (b/b). Silica-lignin activated with sodium periodate 10% (b/b) had the smallest particle size of about 8μm, with a surface area of 14.0888 m2.g-1 and followed Halsey isotherm adsorption model, with an adsorption capacity of 0.3054 mg.g-1.
