چکیده

Alloying Ni with Ir leads to the formation of highly active catalysts for complete decomposition of hydrous hydrazine with 100% H(2) selectivity at room temperature. Use of surfactants enhances the activity by suppressing the agglomeration of nanoparticles, but does not affect the bimetallic compositions of the nanoparticles.

Effect of Silica Content on Support-Iridium Active Phase Interactions on the Nanocatalyst Activity

To discuss the potential role of the support for iridium catalyst, we have proceeded to prepare a series of supported catalysts with the same active phase content, but different silica content, to elucidate the changes in surface structure and the reaction process of hydrous hydrazine decomposition on catalyst. The obtained iridium catalysts contained 20 wt% of nanoparticles dispersed on spheri...

Catalytic Decomposition of H2O2 on MnFe2O4 Nanocomposites Synthesized by Various Methods in the Presence of Silicate and Zeolite Supports

In this research iron manganese oxide nanocomposites were prepared by co-precipitation, sol-gel and mechanochemical methods by using iron (III) nitrate, iron (II) sulfate and manganese (II) nitrate as starting materials. These nanocomposites were prepared in the presence of various catalyst beds. The polyvinyl pyrrolidon (PVP) was used as a capping agent to control the agglomeration of the nano...
