Bimetallic platinum–ruthenium nanoparticles supported on N-doped graphene as chemoselective hydrogenation catalysts.

The chromium/vanadium bimetallic Phillips catalysts developed by our research group have been proved to be a promising process to produce bimodal polyethylene using a single-reactor process. The vanadium loading of CrV-1/1, CrV-1/2, and CrV-1/3 has a significant effect on the polymerization activity, product molecular weight (MW), as well as th...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are used in catalysis due to their high specific surface area and porous structure. The dispersed active sites limited reaction space that render MOFs have the potential for highly selective electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (ECO2RR). Meanwhile, formic acid (HCOOH) is attracting attention as a liquid product with economic benefits. This review summarizes derivatives...

In this research, a facile and effective approach was developed for the preparation of well-designed AuPd alloyed catalysts supported on magnetic halloysite nanotubes (HNTs@Fe₃O₄@AuPd). The microstructure and the magnetic properties of HNTs@Fe₃O₄@AuPd were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and vibrating ...

This paper reviews various types of heterogeneous acid-base catalysts for fragrances preparation. Catalytic activities of the various types of heterogeneous acid and base catalysts in fragrances preparation, i.e. nonzeolitic, zeolitic, and mesoporous molecular sieves, have been reported. Generally, heterogeneous acid catalysts are more commonly used in fragrance synthesis as compared to heterog...

in this study, the structures, the ir spectroscopy, and the electronic properties of auncum (n+m≤5) bimetallic clusters were studied and compared with those of pure gold and copper clusters using the generalized gradient approximation (gga) and exchange correlation density functional theory (dft). the study of an o2-auncum system is important to identify the promotion effects of each of the two...

Several researchers have shown that Pt-Rh bimetallic catalysts can perform synergistically for the NO/H2, NO/CO, CO/O2, and NO/CO/HC reactions [1-5]. Lakis and coworkers clarified some of the mystery surrounding the synergistic performance of Pt-Rh catalysts for the NO + H2 reaction by using analytical electron microscopy (AEM) to show that the synergistic performance of a Pt(95%)Rh(5%)/γ-Al2O3...

PLA emerged as a promising polymer because of its property as a compostable, biodegradable thermoplastic made from renewable sources. PLA can be polymerized from monomers (Lactide or Lactic acid) obtained by fermentation processes from renewable sources such as corn starch or sugarcane. For PLA synthesis, ring opening polymerization (ROP) of Lactide monomer is one of the preferred methods. In t...
