Abstract:

Well faceted CuO nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation method at reflux temperature in a short period of time. A possible mechanism for synthesis of such highly pure and stable nanoparticles is tentatively proposed by FT-IR study. The large surface area and rich exposed active sites are expected to endow such nanoparticles with excellent performances in catalysis as demonstrated here for the remarkable catalytic activity with respect to the oxidation of alcohol. This interesting result highlights the advantage of such a CuO nanostructure over the bulk counterpart, i.e. the high density of active sites and large surface area, which places a solid foundation for the feasible and promising application of such highly faceted nanomaterials in catalysis. It is the first report on the nanometer-sized faceted CuO acting as a catalyst for an oxidation reaction and simultaneously a good example for the combination of green chemistry and functional materials.

Synthesis of CuO Nanoparticles and Study on their Catalytic Properties

In this research, CuO spherical-like nanoparticles were synthesized using the planetary ball mill method. The structure, particle size and morphology of the resulting CuO nanoparticles were characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and SAXS (small-angle X-ray scattering) methods. The results of this investigation showed ...

Physico-Chemical and Catalytic Properties of Mesoporous CuO-ZrO2 Catalysts

Mesoporous CuO-ZrO2 catalysts were prepared and calcined at 500 ̋C. The performance of the synthesized catalysts for benzylation of benzene using benzyl chloride was studied. The bare support (macroporous ZrO2) offered 45% benzyl chloride conversion after reaction time of 10 h at 75 ̋C. Significant increase in benzyl chloride conversion (98%) was observed after CuO loading (10 wt. %) on porous ...
