Generation of catalytically active materials from a liquid metal precursor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A facile route to prepare catalytically active materials from a galinstan liquid metal alloy is introduced. Sonicating liquid galinstan in alkaline solution or treating it in reducing media results in the creation of solid In/Sn rich microspheres that show catalytic activity toward both potassium ferricyanide and 4-nitrophenol reduction.

Catalytically Graphitized Electrospun Carbon Nanofibers Adorned with Nickel Nanoparticles for Catalysis Applications
Catalytically graphitized electrospun carbon nanofibers adorned uniformly with fine nickel nanoparticles were successfully prepared. The procedure was based on the electrospinning technique and the use of nickel precursor to create both graphitized nanofibers and nickel nanoparticles under a relatively low-temperature heat treatment. The X-ray diffraction and Raman results clearly proved cataly...
متن کاملAn effective approach for modifying carbonaceous materials with niobium single sites to improve their catalytic properties.
In this paper we show a very simple route for the incorporation of catalytically active niobium species on the surface of carbon materials, such as graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes and activated carbon. Some existing methods of incorporating a transition metal on a support have involved co-precipitation or wet impregnation, to obtain the corresponding oxides. These methods, however, cause reduc...
متن کاملAtomically Precise Growth of Catalytically Active Cobalt Sulfide on Flat Surfaces and within a Metal-Organic Framework via Atomic Layer Deposition.
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been employed as a new synthetic route to thin films of cobalt sulfide on silicon and fluorine-doped tin oxide platforms. The self-limiting nature of the stepwise synthesis is established through growth rate studies at different pulse times and temperatures. Additionally, characterization of the materials by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscop...
متن کاملDevelopment of realistic models for Double Metal Cyanide catalyst active sites.
Realistic molecular models of one and two-centre catalytic active sites originating from the cleavage of a precursor material known to give rise to an active double metal cyanide catalyst are described. Via periodic density functional calculations the structure of the proposed catalytic sites are shown to be dependent on electrostatic and structural relaxation processes occurring at the surface...
