Reversible ionic liquids (RevILs) for the preparation of thermally stable SBA-15 supported gold nanoparticle catalysts

Reaction of Sulfur Dioxide (so2) with Reversible Ionic Liquids (revils) for Carbon Dioxide (co2) Capture

Redispersion of transition metal nanoparticle catalysts in tetraalkylphosphonium ionic liquids.

Despite the fact that particle sintering is one of the most common events leading to the deactivation of metal nanoparticle (NP) catalysts, there is a paucity of studies investigating potential routes for the regeneration of smaller, catalytically active nanoparticles from larger particles formed after repeated catalytic cycles. Here, we reveal a simple yet elegant technique for the 'redispersi...

Gold Functionalized Supported Ionic Liquids Catalyst for CO Oxidation

The present study tries to give an insight to the combination of the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic properties in a new class of materials. Well dispersed gold nanoparticles on an ionic liquid layer supported on a mineral carrier have been prepared. This work is concentrated on the characterizations and understanding of the interactions between all the components of the catalytic syste...

TEM characterisation of novel supported silver and gold nanoparticle catalysts

This project is an extension of TEM work conducted on a previous AINSE funded project AINGRA08066, and aims to use the TEM, STEM/HAADF, EDS and plasmon imaging facilities at ANSTO to structurally characterize novel supported silver nanoparticle catalysts for ozone abatement, and supported gold catalysts for low temperature CO oxidation. The catalysts, fabricated at the University of Auckland, c...

single-step synthesis of multi-component spirobarbiturates using ionic liquids and synthesis of substituted pyridine filled with catalysts supported on solid substrate

in this thesis, a better reaction conditions for the synthesis of spirobarbiturates catalyzed by task-specific ionic liquid (2-hydroxy-n-(2-hydroxyethyl)-n,n-dimethylethanaminium formate), calcium hypochlorite ca(ocl)2 or n-bromosuccinimide (nbs) in the presence of water at room temperature by ultrasonic technique is provided. the design and synthesis of spirocycles is a challenging task becaus...
