nanostructured iron oxide powder that has been recovered from waste pickling liquor unit of steel industry was studied for oxidation catalytic applications. in this research, the powder was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transition electron microscopy (tem) for determination of phase structure, morphology and particle size. furthermore, the specific surface area of the powder was ...

using fe(no3)3.9h2o, co(no3)2.6h2o and mn(no3)2.4h2o the magnetic properties of nanoparticles trimetalic iron - cobalt - manganese, with supported magnesium oxide have been prepared by co-precipitation and solvothermal methods. the prepared samples are characterized by scanning electron microscope (sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd), vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm) and brunaer-emmett-teller (bet...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown directly on substrates by alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition using a Co-Mo binary catalyst. Optimum catalytic and reaction conditions were investigated using a combinatorial catalyst library. High catalytic activity areas on the substrate were identified by mapping the CNT yield against the orthogonal gradient thickness profiles of Co and Mo. The loca...

monometallic and bimetallic ni and co catalytic nanoparticles supported on titanium dioxide (rutile phase) substrate were prepared by wet impregnation method. these nanoparicles were used as catalysts for synthesis of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) from acetylene decomposition at 700°c by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition (ccvd) technique. the nanomaterials (catalyst and cnts) were...

A simple yet versatile combinatorial method to discover binary metal nanoparticle catalysts was developed. In this method, the nominal thickness of component metals can be independently screened for a wide range by simply setting a mask with a slit above a substrate during sputter-deposition. Using this method, we prepared a catalyst library with Mo (0.2− 4 nm) and Co (0.2− 8 nm) thickness prof...

We report a detailed study of surface-bound chemical vapor deposition of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers from evaporated transition metal catalysts exposed to ammonia diluted acetylene. We show that a reduction of the Fe/Co catalyst film thickness below 3 nm results into a transition from large diameter (N40 nm), bamboo-like nanofibers to small diameter (∼5 nm) multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Th...

Fe–N–C Catalysts In article number 2207671, Jia Li, Jianguo Liu, and co-workers develop a highly-catalytic catalyst with power density of >1 w cm−2 prolonged lifetime (>40 h) using controllable efficient N–C coating strategy. The authors investigate the correlation between thickness electrochemical performance. They also identify stability improvement mechanism to reduced carbon corrosion iron ...

The SiO2 supported cobalt-iron nano catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel method. This research investigated the effects of (Co/Fe) wt.%, different Co/Fe ratio at different temperature and loading of KCl wt.% for Fisher-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). The results were showed that the catalyst containing 50 wt.% (Co/Fe)/SiO2 (Co/Fe ratio is 70/30) which promoted with 0.6 wt.% KCl is an optimal nano ca...

in this research we used heavy propylene tetramer (hpt) and a1c13 —bf3 (lewis acids) ascatalyst and ethanol, n-propanol and n-butanol as co-catalyst. using lewis acids as catalyst, thehpts form molecules with higher molecular weight. since the raw materials of the reaction are byproducts of other reactions, are not pure and contain various compounds with different m.w andalso different chemical...
