Preparation, Structure and Selected Catalytic Properties of La2CuO4 Nano Mixed Metal Oxides

The perovskite-structured La2CuO4 nanoparticles have been synthesized via an ultrasonic-assisted co-precipitation route using octanoic acid as organic surfactant, and the phase composition, morphology, lattice parameters and size of nanoparticles are characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectrosco...

Synthesis of Binary Ti-Si Mixed Oxides Nanoparticles with Rutile Structure as Selective Catalyst for Epoxidation of Alkenes

The nanoparticles of Ti-Si mixed oxides (NTSO) with Rutile structure were prepared by sol-gel method in a mixture of alcohol and water as solvent. The solid product was characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, UV, TGA and laser Raman spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of NTSO (5-10 nm) was investigated in the epoxidation of cis stilbene, trans stilbene, and norbornene by using oxidants such as t...

The electronic structure of iridium and its oxides

Iridium-basedmaterials are among themost active and stable electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction. Amorphous iridium oxide structures are found to bemore active than their crystalline counterparts. Herein, we combine synchrotron-based X-ray photoemission and absorption spectroscopies with theoretical calculations to investigate the electronic structure of Ir metal, rutile-type IrO2,...

Electronic structure of spinel oxides: zinc aluminate and zinc gallate

The electronic structure of zinc aluminate (ZnAl2O4) and that of zinc gallate (ZnGa2O4) were studied by the self-consistent tight-binding linearized muffin-tin orbital method with the atomic sphere approximation. The calculated results predict these zinc-based spinel oxides to be direct-gap materials. The direct gap at 0 is found to be 4.11 eV for ZnAl2O4 and 2.79 eV for ZnGa2O4. With reference...
