Dioxygen reduction by cobalt(II) octaethylporphyrin at liquid|liquid interfaces.
2010
Oxygen reduction catalyzed by cobalt(II) (2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin) [Co(OEP)] at soft interfaces is studied by voltammetry and biphasic reactions. When Co(OEP) is present in a solution of 1,2-dichloroethane in contact with an aqueous acidic solution, oxygen is reduced if the interface is positively polarized (water phase versus organic phase). This reduction reaction is facilitated when an additional electron donor, here ferrocene, is present in excess in the organic phase.
Reactivity of H2S and H2S/H2 Mixture With Molybdenum Oxide Thin Films Epitaxied on CoO (100) : Characterization by Rheed and Auger Spectroscopy
2010
Molybdenum-Cobalt composite oxide films were prepared by the evaporation of molybdenum trioxide on a fresh cleaved CoO (100) surface (Thickness = 10 A). The MoO3-CoO interface has been characterized simultaneously by reflexion high electron diffraction (RHEED) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The thin film structure and composition depend on the annealing temperature. After a 300°C treatment, metallic cobalt islands nucleate at the interface thin film - CoO (100) and crystallize with the cubic FCC symmetry. After a 700°C treatment cobalt molybdate (a CoMoO4) islands grow. The metastable crystallites are epitaxied on CoO (100). After a 900°C treatment, the thin film consists of flat tw…

Abstract CoO x catalysts (Co 1 and 3 wt.%) were prepared by incipient-wetness impregnation of the supports, Al 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3 (80 wt.%)-BaO (20 wt.%), and calcined at 500 and 800 °C. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and BET techniques. H 2 -temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) spectra were recorded with the aim to identify the different Co species formed. The presence of Co 2+ species tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated appears strongly influenced by the nature of the support and the cobalt content. Co 3 O 4 particles were detected after calcination at 500 °C, a successive treatment at 800 °C promotes th…
On thermal behaviour of DMC catalysts for ring opening polymerization of epoxides
2016
Abstract The thermoanalytical studies of two types of the double metal cyanide catalysts were carried out. The identity of the catalysts was characterized by an elemental analysis and FTIR. The thermoanalytical examinations performed with the use of TG-DSC, EGA-FTIR, EGA-MS shed new light on views of the bonding of the ligands in the DMC. The chemical justification of the processes responsible for the TG/DSC steps was proposed. Several organic ligand complexing states were found in both types of catalysts. The ligand-DMC bondings were decomposing stepwise in relatively low temperature ranges, which could suggest their negligible role at catalytic reaction being performed usually at higher t…
High-performing Sn-Co nanowire electrodes as anodes for lithium-ion batteries
2012
Abstract The preparation of Sn 2 Co 3 nanowire arrays (NWs) electrogrown inside the channels of polycarbonate membranes and their characterization as anodes for Li-ion batteries both in half-cell vs. Li and in battery configuration are reported. The Sn 2 Co 3 NW electrodes tested by deep galvanostatic charge/discharge cycles in ethylene carbonate-dimethylcarbonate (1:1) – LiPF 6 1 M displayed 80% capacity retention after 200 cycles at C/2 and 30 °C, and a high charge and discharge rate capability at C-rate from C/3 (0.33 A/g) to 10C (10 A/g) at 30° and 10 °C. Electrodes with the highest alloy loading delivered up to 0.6 mAh cm −2 at C/2. The performance of these electrodes in battery config…

Electrochemical deposition of SnCo alloys inside the nanometric pores of commercial membranes is described. Composition, morphology and crystallographic structure of the synthesized nanostructured alloys are reported as well as the results of electrochemical tests carried out both in half-cell and in full battery configuration to investigate the performance of these SnCo alloys as anodes for lithium-ion batteries. Optimized depositions yielded nanostructured alloys that performed 200 deep galvanostatic cycles at C/2 and 30 °C with 80 % capacity retention and coulombic efficiency higher than 97 % after 40 cycles Moreover, charge-discharge rate capability tests showed the high performance of …
