Catalytic removal of nitrogen dioxide in the air stream by nickel and nickel- platinum supported multiwall carbon nanotube.

Introduction Nitrogen oxides as one of the most dangerous environmental pollutant, have harmful effects on the health of people in the workplace. Today, the catalytic oxidation of nitrogen oxides is a highly efficient method for removing of this gases  that has been dedicated part of researches. The aim of study was to investigate the removal efficiency of  nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by nickel and...

Functional mesoporous carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) and their integration in situ with Pt nanocrystals (Pt/MCNTs) have been designed and successfully developed via a facile route, which exhibited enhanced performances in energy storage and conversion applications.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes supported palladium nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity towards methanol electro oxidation in alkaline media

Palladium nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Pd/MWCNTs) have been synthesized using a modified polyol reduction method and its performance in methanol oxidation reactions has evaluated. The morphology of palladium on MWCNTs was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The catalytic performance of synthesized catalyst ...

Effects of Confinement in Carbon Nanotubes on the Performance and Lifetime of Fischer-Tropsch Iron Nano Catalysts

The effects of confinement in carbon nanotubes on Fischer-Tropsch (FT) activity, selectivity and lifetime of Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs) supported iron catalysts are reported. A method was developed to control the position of the catalytic sites on either inner or outer surface of carbon nanotubes. TEM analyses revealed that more than 80% of iron oxide particles can be controlled to be position...
