چکیده

[Mn(bpy)(CO)3Br] cast in a Nafion membrane is an active heterogeneous electrocatalyst with good selectivity for CO2 reduction to CO in neutral aqueous electrolyte. Addition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) leads to a ∼10 fold current enhancement and stable CO : H2 yields (1 : 2) at -1.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl at pH 7.

Tuning Product Selectivity for Aqueous CO2 Reduction with a Mn(bipyridine)-pyrene Catalyst Immobilized on a Carbon Nanotube Electrode

The development of high-performance electrocatalytic systems for the controlled reduction of CO2 to value-added chemicals is a key goal in emerging renewable energy technologies. The lack of selective and scalable catalysts in aqueous solution currently hampers the implementation of such a process. Here, the assembly of a [MnBr(2,2'-bipyridine)(CO)3] complex anchored to a carbon nanotube electr...

Electrocatalytic and Solar‐Driven CO2 Reduction to CO with a Molecular Manganese Catalyst Immobilized on Mesoporous TiO2

Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO was achieved with a novel Mn complex, fac-[MnBr(4,4'-bis(phosphonic acid)-2,2'-bipyridine)(CO)3 ] (MnP), immobilized on a mesoporous TiO2 electrode. A benchmark turnover number of 112±17 was attained with these TiO2 |MnP electrodes after 2 h electrolysis. Post-catalysis IR spectroscopy demonstrated that the molecular structure of the MnP catalyst was retaine...

New Polymer Catalytic Membranes for Nitrite Reduction: Experimental Assessment

In this work we report the experimental assessment of the performance of a new catalytic hollow fiber reactor with supported Pd catalyst for nitrite removal from polluted waters. The reactor configuration facilitates working at low flowrate and hydrogen concentrations in order to improve the selectivity of the reduction reaction towards nitrogen, thus, inhibiting the formation of ammonia. Pd ca...

Preparation of ZnO nanocatalyst supported on todorokite and photocatalytic efficiency in the reduction of chromium (VI) pollutant from aqueous solution

In this research, a new effective photocatalyst was prepared by supporting ZnO on a Todorokite (TD). This catalyst was characterized by employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns. The optical properties of the samples were measured by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The purpose of using the ZnO/TD as a photocatalyst was to reduction Cr(VI), whi...

Electrocatalytic properties of platinum and it's binary alloy with vanadium in oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)

The electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on carbon supportedPt-V (1:1) catalyst in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) was investigated. Atan oxygen pressure of one atm an enhanced electrocatalytic property of Pt-V/Ccompared with Pt/C is revealed. These results indicate the occurrence of adifferent electrocatalytic mechanism for the ORR on Pt/C and Pt-V/C. Anincrease of mas...
