Template Synthesis of High Surface Area Metal Oxides . Example : An Excellent Structured Fenton - like Catalyst
Standard sacrificial template synthesis allows metal oxide nanotubes to be produced from ZnO nanowires. In spite of their high interest in several technological fields, the low surface area of these nanotubes is a drawback for most applications. Here we report for the first time the sacrificial template synthesis of stainless steel wire-mesh (SSWM) supported metal oxides of high technological i...

In the present contribution, a facile and efficient protocol for synthesis a nanohybrid structure of core-coronal-shell ZnO@ZIF-8 using ascorbic acid (ZnO@AA/ZIF-8) as a new adsorbent for arsenic removal from water has been represented. For this purpose, the ZnO nanospheres were synthesized by a green and simple method followed by coating with ascorbic acid (AA) to modify their surface to achie...
متن کاملUse of Triton X-114 as a weak capping agent for one-pot aqueous phase synthesis of ultrathin noble metal nanowires and a primary study of their electrocatalytic activity.
By using Triton X-114 as structure-director and weak binding stabilizer, ultrathin Au, Pd and Pt nanowires are synthesized in seconds by reduction of inorganic metal precursors with KBH(4) in aqueous phase. The nanowires show high catalytic activity and long-term stability toward electrooxidation of alcohols.
