One-pot synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles supported on halloysite nanotubes for catalytic applications
2020
Abstract A versatile catalyst based on halloysite and zinc oxide (HNT@ZnO) was prepared, for the first time, starting from ZnO commercial bulk form as Zn precursor source, in a one-pot procedure. This strategy gives the possibility to obtain small ZnO nanoparticles loaded on the HNT surface without the use of inorganic salts which envisage the removal of undesired anions and therefore a calcination process at high temperature. It was found that the presence of halloysite improved the UV–vis spectral absorption ability of ZnO. The hybrid was successful used as photocatalyst for the methylorange and rhodamine B degradation. In addition, after eight consecutive cycles for the methylorange phot…

Sintering of Fe2NiO4 with an internal binder: a way to obtain a very dense material
2003
Abstract The coupled synthesis and sintering of Fe2NiO4 can be carried out from the calcination under air at high temperatures (>1200 °C) of precompacted (under 12 MPa) pellets of different mixtures: NiO/α-Fe2O3; NiO/α-Fe2O3/Fe; NiO/α-Fe2O3/Ni. The densest material is obtained at 1200 °C only from the following mixture: NiO (40 mol%), α-Fe2O3 (50 mol%) and Ni (10 mol%). Because the metallic nickel is very ductile, it is used as an internal binder in order to enhance the precompacting of the samples. Moreover, the role of nickel is to enhance the sintering reaction. This route leads to a final material of relative density close to 98±2%.
Co3O4 particles grown over nanocrystalline CeO2: influence of precipitation agents and calcination temperature on the catalytic activity for methane …
2015
Crystalline cobalt oxides were prepared by a precipitation method using three different precipitation agents, (NH4)(2)CO3, Na2CO3 and CO(NH2)(2). Cobalt oxide nanoparticles corresponding to a Co3O4 loading of 30 wt% were also deposited over high-surface area nanocrystalline ceria by the same precipitation agents. The effect of calcination temperature, 350 or 650 degrees C, on the morphological and structural properties was evaluated. Characterization by BET, XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman spectroscopy, H-2-TPR, XPS and NH3-TPD was performed and the catalytic properties were explored in the methane oxidation reaction. The nature of the precipitation agent strongly influenced the textural properties of…
Catalytic performances of Co3O4/CeO2 and Co3O4/CeO2-ZrO2Composite oxides for methane combustion: influence of catalyst pretreatment temperature and o…
2007
Abstract The influence of catalyst pre-treatment temperature (650 and 750 °C) and oxygen concentration ( λ = 8 and 1) on the light-off temperature of methane combustion has been investigated over two composite oxides, Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 and Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 –ZrO 2 containing 30 wt.% of Co 3 O 4 . The catalytic materials prepared by the co-precipitation method were calcined at 650 °C for 5 h (fresh samples); a portion of them was further treated at 750 °C for 7 h, in a furnace in static air (aged samples). Tests of methane combustion were carried out on fresh and aged catalysts at two different WHSV values (12 000 and 60 000 mL g −1 h −1 ). The catalytic performance of Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 and Co 3…

Control of catalytic properties of ZSM-5 made by fast and template- free synthesis.
1989
Abstract The fast template-free synthesis of ZSM-5 was accomplished in both static and stirred autoclaves employing sodiumwaterglass.silica hydrogel and pyrogenic silicas as silica sources. Highly pure crystalline ZSM-5 was obtained in the sodiumwaterglass reaction system in the stirred autoclaves without seeds within 3 hours. Addition of 2% (w/w) of seeds reduced the reaction time to 2 hours. The catalytic activity and shape selectivity of the H-ZSM-5, tested by the disproportionation of ethylbenzene, was found to be largely controlled by the synthesis parameters and by the posttreatments. The homogeneous aluminum distribution across the crystals achieved by this synthetis route resulted i…
High-Temperature Stable Gold Nanoparticle Catalysts for Application under Severe Conditions: The Role of TiO2 Nanodomains in Structure and Activity
2015
Metal nanoparticles with precisely controlled size are highly attractive for heterogeneous catalysis. However, their poor thermal stability remains a major concern in their application at realistic operating conditions. This paper demonstrates the possibility of synthesizing gold nanoparticles with exceptional thermal stability. This has been achieved by using a simple conventional deposition–precipitation technique. The material employed as catalyst consists of gold supported on a TiO2-impregnated SiO2 bimodal mesoporous support. The resulting material shows gold nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution around 3.0 nm, homogeneously dispersed over the TiO2/SiO2 material. Most interesti…
Co3O4/CeO2 and Co3O4/CeO2–ZrO2 composite catalysts for methane combustion: Correlation between morphology reduction properties and catalytic activity
2005
Abstract Co3O4/CeO2 and Co3O4/CeO2–ZrO2 composite catalysts have been prepared by two different techniques, co-precipitation by citrate method and impregnation with cobalt nitrate of pre-formed ceria and ceria–zirconia oxides. The materials, as prepared and after ageing at 750 °C 7 h, were tested for methane combustion and the catalytic performances were compared with those of a commercial Co3O4, used as reference. A significant improvement of the activity was observed in the composite oxide Co3O4(30 wt%)/CeO2(70 wt%), prepared by citrate method, which exhibits the lowest light-off temperature of methane (T50 = 400 °C) and does not suffer deactivation after calcination at 750 °C 7 h.
