Hierarchical aluminum-silicon materials have been successfully prepared by mixing pre-crystallization of silica-alumina sol and citric acid under hydrothermal conditions. The influence of pre-crystallization time on the micro-mesoporous structure is studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), N2 physical adsorption, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The catalytic performance of hierarchical silica-alumina material is evaluated by alkylation of phenol with tert-butanol. The results show that the silica-alumina materials with a pre-crystallization time of 16 h show micro-mesoporous structure and excellent catalytic activity.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and sulphuric acid were used for the preparation of Cr/MWCNT composite by impregnation method. The composites were comprehensively characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM),energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermal gravity analysis (TGA). Due to its unique electrical and structural properties, this composite was applied to the synthesis of biodiesel (FAME) as a catalyst, showing effectively catalytic performance.

A series of Ni-Cu supported onto zeolite type ZSM-5 has been synthesized by direct hydrothermal method without template agent and characterized using XRD, FT-IR, NRM mass, SEM, CG and N2adsorption techniques. The catalytic performance of the obtained materials was evaluated and utilized for the hydrogenation of palm oil at 453 K and 40 atmospheres of pressure. The results show that the samples exhibited typical hexagonal arrangement of mesoporous structure with high surface area and the heteroatoms were probably incorporated into the framework of ZSM-5. Catalytic tests show that the bimetallic incorporated materials were effective as catalysts in the hydrogenation of oil palm producing fatty alcohols typical.

Abstract H-ZSM-5 nanozeolite was hydrothermally synthesized under static conditions. Evaluation of hydrothermal synthesis of ZSM-5 was performed by treating the synthesis mixture using different aging processes, consist of ultrasonic, stirring, and microwave-assisted aging, prior to the conventional hydrothermal treatment. The catalytic performances of selected catalysts were studied for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) in a fixed-bed reactor under the same operating conditions (T = 300°C, P = 1 atm, and WHSV = 26 h−1). The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, BET, NH3-TPD and FT-IR techniques. The results showed that ultrasonic and microwave-assisted aging shortened the crystallization time and reduced crystal size of the obtained products without having any considerable effects on their catalytic activities.

Monometallic M1(M[Formula: see text] Ni/Cu/Fe/Co) silicates and bimetallic Ni–M2(M[Formula: see text] Cu/Fe/Co) silicates hollow spheres with mesoporous structure and the controllable morphology have been synthesized successfully via one-step sacrificial template method under hydrothermal conditions. The catalysts were obtained by reducing the corresponding silicates in situ under the hydrogen atmosphere at a certain temperature. All the silicates and the catalysts M1/SiO2 and Ni–M2/SiO2 hollow spheres have been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) thoroughly and systematically. The morphology and reaction conditions of bimetallic Ni–M2 silicates hollow spheres depend on the second metal M2, which has been verified by SEM, TEM and XRD. From the results, it can be concluded that bimetallic silicates possess better physical properties in favor of the catalytic activity. Bimetallic Ni–M2/SiO2 hollow spheres had higher catalytic property than the monometallic M1/SiO2 and the conversion of nitrobenzene could reach 100% within 3[Formula: see text]h using Ni–Cu/SiO2 and Ni–Fe/SiO2 hollow spheres as catalysts.

A novel Pt/CN catalyst was synthesized by sodium borohydride treatment. The physical and chemical properties of Pt/CN catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), brunner-emmet-teller (BET), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The characterized results showed that the catalyst has a high specific surface area, mesoporous structure and the mean size of Pt nanoparticles is 2.59 nm. Subsequently, the catalytic performance of Pt/CN catalyst for decline dehydrogenation was studied. Pt/CN catalyst exhibited excellent performance in decalin dehydrogenation with the conversion of decalin was 30.70%, and the selectivity of naphthalene was 90.86% at 200 ℃ for 150 minutes. When the reaction temperature increased to 210 ℃, the conversion of catalyst increased to 52.02%, and the selectivity of naphthalene reduced to 90.21%. The possible reason may be attributed to the difficulty in converting decalin to tetralin. This paper would provide a novel method for the synthesis of efficient dehydrogenation catalyst of decalin..

A series of V-Fe incorporated-SBA-15 has been synthesized by adjustment of the pH value of the gel mixtures and characterized by using XRD, N2-adsorption, ICP, FT-IR, Raman, and UV–vis techniques. Results indicated that all samples exhibited typical hexagonal arrangement of mesoporous structure with high surface areas and the heteroatoms were probably incorporated into the framework of SBA-15. Catalytic performances of the obtained materials were evaluated in the hydroxylation of phenol with H2O2, and the catalytic results revealed that the selectivity for catechol (CAT) and hydroquinone (HQ) could be controlled by adjusting the contents of V and Fe in the samples, and an appropriate nV/nFe mol ratio in SBA-15 could approach the optimal catalytic performance.

In this study, silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4/SiO2) were synthesized and applied in the immobilization of phospholipase D (PLDa2) via physical adsorption and covalent attachment. The immobilized PLDa2 was applied in the synthesis of functional phosphatidylserine (PS) through a transphophatidylation reaction. The synthesis process and characterizations of the carriers were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The optimum immobilization conditions were evaluated, and the thermal and pH stability of immobilized and free PLDa2 were measured and compared. The tolerance to high temperature of immobilized PLDa2 increased remarkably by 10°C. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of the immobilized PLDa2 remained at 40% after eight recycles, which revealed that silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles have potential application for immobilization and catalytic reactions in a biphasic system.

Hierarchical porous ceria with nanocrystalline was successfully synthesized using filter paper as biotemplate. Unique biomorphic microstructures were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nitrogen absorption-desorption technique. The obtained ceria material showed the repetitious biomimetic structure consisting of fibre with diameter of ca. 1-3 μm and nanopores which had 2-4 nm apertures. The small crystallite diameter (6-8 nm) and the high specific surface area (71.3 m2·g-1) of porous CeO2 were measured by wide-angle X-ray Diffraction (XRD), high resolution TEM (HRTEM) and the BET method. While the concentration of acid fuchsine was 20 mg/L, the porous sample had a higher decoloring rate in a shorter time than others. The decoloring rate can reach 100% after 200 min.

Supported phosphotungstic acid SBA-15 were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption, transmission electron micrographs (TEM), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). XRD and FT-IR results indicated that the substitution of tungsten occurs in the silicate framework structure of SBA-15. TEM and SEM investigations confirmed the presence of ordered high degree ordering hexagonal structure in the novel PW/SBA-15 material. Their catalytic activity was evaluated in the epoxidation of α-pinene. 2,3-epoxypinane was the main product. The results of epoxidation of α-pinene by PW(40)/SBA-15 were fellows: the conversion rate of α-pinene and the selectivity were 87.61% and 79.90% respectively.
