Abstract

The transition metal (Co, Mn, Cu or Zn) doped La2O3 material was prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) technique. The 2 wt.% Ni catalyst supported on this material was characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption, TPR, H2 chemisorption and TGA, and evaluated by the dry reforming of methane (DRM). The perovskite structure was certainly formed when either Co or Mn was introduced. The Cu can generate the La2CuO4 spinel phase while the Zn showed a mixed phase of La2O3, ZnO and La(OH)3. The Ni/Co-La2O3 catalyst was more active for the DRM because of high amount of active dual sites of Ni and Co metals dispersed on the catalyst surface. The formation of La2O2CO3 during the reaction can inhibit the coke formation. The cooperation of La2O2CO3 and MnO phases in the Ni/Mn-La2O3 catalyst was promotional effect to decrease carbon deposits on the catalyst surface. The partial substitution of Co for Mn with a small content of Mn can enhance the catalytic activity and the product yield. The Ni/Mn0.05Co0.95-La2O3 catalyst showed the highest CH4 conversion, H2 yield and H2/CO ratio. The Mn inserted into the perovskite structure of LaCoO3 was an important player to change oxygen mobility within the crystal lattice to maintain a high performance of the catalyst.

Abstract

A novel responsive visible light Cr-based MOF, Cr-PTC-HIna, was synthesized using the solvothermal method. Cr-PTC-HIna peaks were observed at 2θ = 9.04°, 12.71°, 14.88°, 25,48°, 27.72°, 28.97°, and 43.60° with a crystal size of 21 nm. Band gap energy achieved from the Cr-PTC HIna was 2.05 eV. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis obtained a 3D structural morphology of MOFs Cr-PTC-HIna with a cylindrical tube shape and a particle size of 251.45 nm. Cr-PTC-HIna gave the optimum methylene blue degradation at pH of 7 under 250 watts mercury lamp irradiation for 180 minutes with degradation capacity of 95.40 mg/g. Electron holes and hydroxyl radicals were found as the dominant species contributing to methylene blue degradation. Copyright © 2022 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

A series of heterogeneous catalysts based on cobalt supported on SBA-15 were prepared through wet impregnation and co-impregnation assisted by ethylene glycol (EG) methods. The cobalt oxide catalysts generated after the drying and calcination process were denoted as CoO/SBA-15w and CoO/SBA-15c for a wet- and co-impregnation method, respectively. Subsequent to the reduction process, the reduced cobalt catalysts were obtained and denoted as Co/SBA-15w and Co/SBA-15c. The TEM images revealed the catalysts prepared through these methods show very clear distinctions that the catalyst prepared by wet impregnation shows large aggregates of cobalt particles on the external surface of SBA-15 due to their inability to enter the channels. The catalysts were evaluated on the hydrocracking of pyrolyzed -cellulose as a biomass model. The results showed that the reduced cobalt-based catalysts are having higher conversion value and selectivity towards the 2-furancarboxaldehyde reached ca. 20%.

Abstract

A new six coordinated tetra-nuclear macrocyclic Zn(II) complex, ZnL4(Phen)2 (1) (HL= 3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde-pyridine-2-carbohydrazone, Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized by the self-assembly of 3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde-pyridine-2-carbohydrazone, Zn(CH3COO)2•2H2O, NaOH and 1,10-phenanthroline in water/ethanol (v:v = 1:3) solution. Complex 1 was characterized by elemental analysis, infra red (IR), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results show that Zn1 and Zn1b ions are six-coordinated with a distorted octahedral geometric configuration by four O atoms of two different L ligands and two N atoms of two different L ligands, Zn1a and Zn1c ions are also six-coordinated with a distorted octahedral geometric configuration by two N atoms of two different L ligands, two N atoms of Phen ligands and two O atoms of two different L ligands. Complex (1) forms 3D network structure by the - interaction. The selective oxidation reactions of benzyl alcohols catalyzed by complex (1) was investigated. The highest benzyl alcohol conversion and benzaldehyde selectivity were obtained at 100 °C for 4 h under 5 bar of O2. Copyright © 2021 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

In this study, two different Al2O3-TiO2 and SiO2-TiO2 hybrid TiO2 particles were synthesised by using silica (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3) to suppress the photocatalysis of TiO2. Key variables such as the concentration of the hybridization material (C), heating temperature (Th), and calcinating temperature (Tc) were selected with performance measured by photodegradation rate. The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array, a systematic approach used in the design of experiments (DOE), confirmed A333 (Al2O3-TiO2) achieved 99% photodegradation suppression with photodegradation rate reduced significantly from 0.01305 min−1 to 0.00009 min−1 and improved yellowing resistance by 63%, while S323 (SiO2-TiO2) achieved 75% suppression with photocatalysis activity decreased from 0.01305 min−1 to 0.0033 min−1 and 42% improved resistance. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed A333 had a higher rutile phase (40.1% vs. 10.2% for S323), and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) analyses revealed A333's rougher surface and lower surface area compared to S323 and pure TiO2. Overall, A333 effectively suppressed photocatalysis and improved yellowing resistance of epoxy thin film. Copyright © 2024 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.

Abstract

Geraniol and citronellol are monoterpenoid alcohols with diverse pharmacological activities. This research focuses on synthesized of geranyl laurate and citronellyl laurate using silica gel as an esterification catalyst. The FTIR peak spectra of silica gel showed that Si-OH, Si-O-Si group were observed. XRD showed that the silica gel is an amorphous phase. The reaction was conducted under reflux using a Dean–Stark trap. The reaction was monitored by TLC and then the product was purified using column chromatography. This work reported that silica gel can be utilized as a catalyst for preparing geranyl laurate and citronellyl laurate which proven by the spectra of FTIR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR of the geranyl laurate and citronellyl laurate formed. The IR spectra of geranyl laurate and citronellyl laurate showed the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) at 1744-1745 cm-1 and C-O from ester at 1170-1176 cm-1. The peak number and its chemical shift on 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra further verified the structure of geranyl laurate and citronelyl laurate. In conclusion, silica gel can be utilized as a catalyst for preparing geranyl laurat and citronellyl laurate. Therefore a silica gel-based catalyst is promising to be developed for esterification applications.

Abstract

Inducing defect in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is one of the strategies to modify the structure and properties of this functional material. Defect may occur in a pristine MOF due to missing organic linkers, metal centres and/or other structural behaviours. In this study, the structure of defects in multicomponent MOFs especially heterometallic MOFs of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8(Zn/Cd)) was examined to unveil the possible preference defect formation due to missing 2-methylimidazolate (MeIm) and metal centres of Cd2+ and Zn2+. Assuming defect formation due to the reaction between ZIF-8(Zn/Cd) and water, MeIm linker removal is energetically lower than removing metal centres of either Cd2+ or Zn2+. But, the MeIm linker is easier to be removed when it is connected to Cd2+ (Cd-MeIm-Cd) than when it is connected to Zn2+ (Zn-MeIm-Zn). Defect in ZIF-8(Zn/Cd) affects the band gap energy to give slightly lower value than it in pristine ZIF-8(Zn/Cd). Non-covalent interaction (NCI) and interaction region indicator (IRI) analyses were also performed to indicate possible intermolecular forces such as van der Waals and attractive forces present in non-defective and defective ZIF-8(Zn/Cd). The presence of defects in mixed-metal ZIF-8(Zn/Cd) was also tested for its potential use on CO2 adsorption. The interaction energy of CO2 inside defective ZIF-8(Zn/Cd) indicates an exothermic behaviour where CO2 molecule has a preference to be adsorbed inside the framework. This is especially when the capping agents at the defective ZIF-8(Zn/Cd) sites are removed to give open metal sites. This study provides insight how defects in multicomponent MOFs might presence affecting the structural and properties changes. Copyright © 2024 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.
