چکیده

Hyperbranched nanostructured bismuth vanadate at a chemically polarized water/organic interface is applied for efficient visible light-driven catalytic oxidation of water in the presence of [Co(bpy)3](PF6)3 as an organic soluble electron acceptor. The photocurrent response originating from the transfer of photo-excited electrons in BiVO4 to [Co(bpy)3]3+ is measured by scanning electrochemical microscopy.

Catalytic activity of NiMnO3 for visible light-driven and electrochemical water oxidation.

NiMnO3 was found to be an efficient catalyst for light-driven water oxidation using [Ru(bpy)3](2+) and S2O8(2-) as a photosensitiser and a sacrificial oxidant, respectively. NiMnO3 exhibited remarkably high catalytic activity in comparison with manganese oxides and nickel oxide. For electrochemical water oxidation, the highest catalytic current was also obtained with NiMnO3 among the manganese ...

Kinetic Studies of the Catalytic Oxidation of Toluene to Benzoic Acid in the Liquid Phase

The catalytic oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid in the liquid phase has been studied in an un-stirred tank reactor. Low concentration of acetic acid was added in order to increase the solubility of the catalyst in toluene. The dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration of toluene catalyst and oxygen pressure was studied. It has been suggested that liquid phase oxidation of t...

Ag/ZnO Nanocomposites: Preparation, Characterization and Investigation of the Catalytic Activity for Oxidation of Toluene in Liquid Phase

In this research, Ag/ZnO nanocomposites were prepared and characterized by transition electron microscopy (TEM), the energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS) and X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD). These nanocomposites were used as catalysts for the oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde and benzoic acid with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidizing agent in the liquid...

Quantification of the chiral recognition in electrochemically driven ion transfer across the interface water/chiral liquid

The electrochemically driven transfer of the chiral anions of Dand L-tryptophan across the interface water/chiral liquid (Dor Lmenthol) is stereoselective, and it can be used to determine quantitatively the difference in Gibbs energies for the solvation of chiral ions in chiral liquids. The ion transfer can be achieved in a three-phase arrangement where a droplet of the chiral liquid containing...
