In this study, Pt-Sn incorporated mesoporous silicate materials were synthesized and characterized, and their activities in ethanol electro-oxidation reaction were tested by cyclic voltammetry. Two groups of catalysts were prepared. In the first group, Pt@MCM-41 and Pt-Sn@MCM-41 were prepared by impregnation of Pt and Sn onto MCM-41 support, which was synthesized by one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method. We adjusted the Pt/Sn molar ratio of 2 in the synthesis solution, and the Pt-Sn alloy formation was recognized beside large platinum particles for Pt-Sn@MCM-41. In the second group of catalysts, Sn-SiO2 was prepared by one-pot hydrothermal synthesis procedure with a Sn/Si molar ratio of 0.014 and was used as support material for Pt. Tin oxide phase was well dispersed through silicate structure and only large Pt particles were found in the XRD analysis of Pt@Sn-SiO2, in which the Pt/Sn ratio was 2. In order to see the effect of Pt/Sn molar ratio on the structural and catalytic activity of the catalyst, Pt@Sn-SiO2(3:2) was prepared by changing the Pt/Sn ratio to 3/2 and obtaining smaller particles for the later one. After electrochemical activity tests in 0.5M H2SO4 and 0.5M H2SO4 + 0.5M C2H5OH electrolyte environments, it was seen that Pt@MCM-41, Pt-Sn@MCM-41, Pt-@Sn-SiO2(3:2) and Pt@Sn-SiO2, exhibit different ethanol electro-oxidation behavior, which is assumed to be due to different pore and crystalline size. Sn-SiO2 supported Pt showed the highest oxidation currents after 0.6V vs. RHE. An ethanol oxidation behavior of Pt@Sn-SiO2(3:2) and polycrystalline Pt was very close at 0.6V vs. RHE.

A series of MCM-41 molecular sieves with different molar ratio of template to silicon were synthesized through hydrothermal synthesis method by using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the template, diatomite as the silicon source. By using impregnation method, the Mn-Ce/MCM-41 SCR molecular sieve-based catalysts were prepared. The results observed that when the molar ratio of template to silicon was 0.2:1, the MCM-41 as catalyst carrier has the highest surface area and largest pore volume, it also presented typically ordered hexagonal arrays of uniform channels. The denitration catalytic material based on this carrier has a high number of Lewis acidic sites, and the denitration efficiency can reach more than 93%.

Hydrotalcite-like compounds are a class of anionic lays or layed double hydroxiods (LDHs) which consists of alkalescence, anion-exchanges and memory effect. The synthetic methods of LDHs include coprecipitation, hydrothermal synthesis, mirowave radiation, ion exchange, sol-gel method, roasting reduction method, instant synthesis, etc.The molar ratio of raw materials, pH value,reaction temperature,reaction time and so on have a greater impact on the purity and crystallinity of the LDHs.

MnFe2O4 NPs are successfully decorated on the surface of SiO2 sheets to form the SiO2-MnFe2O4 composite via one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method. The phase identification, morphology, crystal structure, distribution of elements, and microwave absorbing properties in S-band (1.55~3.4 GHz) of the as-prepared composite were investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM, and Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) respectively. Compared with the pure MnFe2O4 NPs, the as-prepared SiO2-MnFe2O4 composite exhibits enhanced microwave absorption performance in this frequency band due to the strong eddy current loss, better impedance matching, excellent attenuation characteristic, and multiple Debye relaxation processes. The maximum reflection loss of −14.87 dB at 2.25 GHz with a broader −10 dB bandwidth over the frequency range of 1.67~2.9 GHz (1.23 GHz) can be obtained at the thickness of 4 mm. Most importantly, the preparation method used here is relatively simple, hence such composite can be served as a potential candidate for effective microwave absorption in S-band.

SiO2 doped by polyaniline for application in electrorheological (ER) fluid was prepared by using a simple one-pot interfacial synthesis method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image shows that the morphologies of SiO2 may be changed from spherical to fibroid structure by changing the molar ratio of tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS) and aniline. X-ray diffraction (XRD) proves that polyaniline does not change the crystallinity of SiO2. The ER behaviors of SiO2 doped by polyaniline in silicone oil are investigated with different doping degrees under different shear rate, and the results show that properly doping polyaniline improves electrorheological behavior of SiO2.

The objective of this work is to study the behavior of Nitrogen-doped carbons as supports of catalysts for the electro-oxidation of methanol. Two carbon materials have been considered: a) carbon xerogels (CXG), highly mesoporous, whose porosity and pore size distribution are easily performed during the synthesis method; b) carbon nanofibers (CNF), which have a high electrical conductivity, good behavior in high temperature conditions and resistance to acid/basic media. Meanwhile, a commercial carbon black (Vulcan XC72R) which is commonly used in manufacturing of electrocatalysts fuel cells was used for comparison. Nitrogen was introduced into the CXG during the synthesis process, what is commonly referred as doping, by including melamine as a reactant. In contrast, N-groups were created over CNF by post-treatment with: ammonia (25%), urea (98%), melamine (99%) and ethylenediamine (99.5%), with a carbon: nitrogen molar ratio 1:0.6. N-containing carbon materials were characterized by elemental analysis, nitrogen adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), SEM-EDX and TEM to determinate the amount and forms of nitrogen introduced. Pt-catalysts were prepared by the microemulsion method. The influence of the nitrogen doping and functionalization on the catalytic behavior in the electrochemical oxidation of methanol was evaluated by different physicochemical and electrochemical analysis.
