Palladium nanoparticles have been electrochemically supported on zirconium oxide nanostructured powders and all the nanomaterials have been characterized by several analytical techniques. The Pd/ZrO(2) nanocatalyst is demonstrated to be a very efficient catalyst in Heck, Ullmann, and Suzuki reactions of aryl halides in water. The catalyst efficiency is attributed to the stabilization of Pd nano...

The syntheses of quinoxalines derived from 1,2-diamine and 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds under mild reaction conditions was carried out using a nanoparticle-supported cobalt catalyst. The supported nanocatalyst exhibited excellent activity and stability and it could be reused for at least ten times without any loss of activity. No cobalt contamination could be detected in the products by AAS measure...

Wet hydrogen peroxide catalytic oxidation (WHPCO) is one of the most important industrially applicable advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the decomposition of organic pollutants in water. It is demonstrated that manganese functionalized silicate nanoparticles with interparticle porosity act as a superior Fenton-type nanocatalyst in WHPCO as they can decompose 80% of a test organic compound...

The use of biodiesel can reduce dependence on diesel, and the compression ignition (CI) engine's performance with is substantially low but could be improved by emulsifying nano-additives. Biodiesel production in CI engines using a homogeneous catalyst less efficient, expensive, time-consuming. In this research article, magnesium-doped calcium oxide (Mg–CaO), novel heterogeneous nanocatalyst, wa...

alcohol oxidation is an important reaction in organic syntheses. some of these reactions must beunder difficult conditions in respect of high temperature and pressure. in many cases, reactions areconducted by environmentally in appropriate solutions. in this study, preparing an effectivenanocatalyst and estimating the optimum provisions of its production processes are assessed. twomajor and cru...

We report here the one-pot synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles of arylboronic acids in water. An efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles via a one-pot reaction of an arylboronic acid with sodium azide in the presence of Cu(2)-β-CD (CD = Cyclodextrin) as a nanocatalyst in water followed by a click cyclization reaction with an alkyne at room temperature in air without an...

An iron(II)phthalocyanine (Fepc) modified mesoporous titania (Fepc-TiO2) nanocatalyst with a specific surface area of 215 m(2) g(-1) has been synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Fepc-TiO2 degrades one of the highly toxic chemical warfare agents, sulfur mustard (SM), photocatalytically under sunlight with an exposure time of as low as 70 min. Furthermore, the mesoporous Fepc-TiO2 also captured...
