Three CuO/CeO2 catalyst with different morphologies of ceria, namely nanospheres, nanorods and nanocubes, were synthesized and used to catalyze the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. The reactivity tests showed that the Cu supported on the ceria nanospheres exhibited both the highest activity and superior stability when compared with the nanocube and nanorod ceria catalysts. Operando X-ray diffrac...

The X-ray structural characterization of tritylphosphonic acid, Ph3CPO3H2 (), reveals that it possesses three different structural forms (a hexameric cage, a two-dimensional polymeric sheet and a dimer) depending upon the solvent used for crystallization. The reaction of cerium nitrate with under solvothermal conditions afforded a molecular dinuclear Ce(III) phosphonate, [Ce2{Ph3CPO2(OEt)}4(NO3...

Manganese oxides are a highly promising class of water-oxidation catalysts (WOCs), but the optimal MnOx formulation or polymorph is not clear from previous reports in the literature. A complication not limited to MnOx-based WOCs is that such catalysts are routinely evaluated by different methods, ranging from the use of a chemical oxidant such as Ce(4+), photoactive mediators such as [Ru(bpy)3]...

The experiment of Fe-Beta catalysts modified by Ce with incipient wetness impregnation methods was carried out for the selective catalytic reduction NOx NH3. characteristics catalyst before and after hydrothermal treatment were evaluated changes active sites, acid sites pore structure. results showed that conversion from [Fe2+-OX]+ to [HO-Fe3+-OX]+ during reaction aging promoted gradual dehydro...

RÉSUMÉ. Nous montrons que tout ensemble de productions d’une langue peut être appréhendé comme un espace à trois dimensions : l’axe syntagmatique est celui des combinaisons de signes au sein du texte, l’axe paradigmatique est celui des commutations possibles en chaque point du texte et l’axe sémiotique est celui interne aux signes, qui lie le signifié au signifiant, le sens au texte. Toute modé...

A new azo-complex [(L)Cu(II)(NO3)] [L = (E)-3-(pyridin-2-yldiazenyl)naphthalen-2-ol (HL)], was prepared via a one-pot synthetic method at 60 °C and was structurally characterized by IR, EA, PXRD and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, TGA studies indicated that the complex was stable in air. The redox properties were determined by cyclic voltammetry, which revealed that the complex c...

This paper reports results of an investigation into the removal of ARB (Acid Red B) dye in an electrochemical oxidation reactor with semi-conductor suspended in the electrolyte. TiO2 nano-powders spiked with various elements, including Si, Co, Zn, La, Ag, Ce, W and Bi, were prepared by sol-gel method to improve colour removal efficiency. Through the L16(4 4) orthogonal experiment, the optimised...

Introduction Nitrogen oxides (NOx) cause the photochemical smog, acid rain, ozone depletion and greenhouse effect. Therefore, a great deal of studies has been performed to reduce NOx by using various catalytic systems such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or NOx storagereduction catalyst. Recently, N2O, whose greenhouse effect is 310 times larger than CO2, has been issued due to the new r...
