A simple and convenient approach denoted as gel-deposition-precipitation (G-D-P) for the preparation of core-shell-like silica@nickel species nanoparticles was studied systematically. Core-shell-like silica@nickel species nanoparticles consisted of a Si-rich core and a Ni-rich shell. The G-D-P process included two steps: one was the deposition-precipitation of nickel over the gelled colloidal s...

A series of N-heteroaryl formamides were efficiently synthesized from heteroarylamines and formic acid using Al2O3 nanoparticles as a heterogeneous catalyst under solvent-free conditions. The smaller size of Al2O3 nanoparticles with a higher surface to volume ratio has a promising catalytic activity, resulting in a short reaction times and high reaction yields under mild reaction conditions. Th...

Carbon nanotubes have been explored as interconnects in solid acid fuel cells to improve the link between nanoscale Pt catalyst particles and macroscale current collectors. The nanotubes were grown by chemical vapor deposition on carbon paper substrates, using nickel nanoparticles as the catalyst, and were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The composite el...

We present a novel heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst of LiFePO4 (LFP). LFP has been widely used as an electrode material of a lithium ion battery, but we observed that commercial LFP (LFP-C) could act as a good Fenton-like catalyst to decompose rhodamine 6G. The catalytic activity of LFP-C microparticles was much higher than a popular catalyst, magnetite nanoparticles. Furthermore, we found th...

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...

zrp2o7 nanoparticles have been used as an efficient catalyst for the preparation of 2-aryl-5-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1h-3-pyrazolones by a simple one-pot four-component reaction of phenyl hydrazines, ethyl acetoacetate ,β-naphthol and benzaldehydes under microwave irradiation in good to excellent yields. when the reaction was carried out using zrocl2.8h2o, zro2 and zrp2o7 nps as the catalyst, the pr...

Magnetic polyoxometalates (POMs) are obtained by a simple sonication between functionalized magnetic nanoparticles and polyoxometalates. This material can be used not only as a highly active acid catalyst, but also as a catalyst support for chiral amines.

A facile preparation of polypyrrole-modified fullerene supported Pd nanoparticles catalyst is introduced; electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the obtained Pd/ppy-C(60) catalyst shows a good electrocatalytic activity and stability for the oxidation of formic acid.

A synergistic graphene-based catalyst was engineered by the in situ growth of "naked" Au-nanoparticles (NPs) on graphene sheets. The catalyst exhibits excellent switchable peroxidase-like activity in response to specific DNA.

in this work firstly fe2o3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple chemical method. properties of the product were examined by x-ray diffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy. vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm) shows nanoparticles exhibit ferromagnetic behavior. to continue some of the 2-naphthol condensed 1,3-oxazinon...
