The gold nanoparticles with core diameter of 3.9-4.7 nm were stabilized with octanethiolate and dipyridylphosphinicamido undecanethiolate. Without varying the size of central Au cores, palladium complexes were immobilized onto these Au nanoparticles through chelation to the surface-bound dipyridyls. Hybrid catalysts of this type were dissolvable and precipitable, and their structures and reacti...

ticle as: G. Wu, et n-metal addition, Abstract Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and evolution reaction (OER) are one pair of the most important electrochemical reactions associated with energy conversion and storage technologies, such as fuel cells, metal–air batteries, and water electrolyzers. However, the sluggish ORR and OER requires a significantly large quantity of precious metals (e.g., Pt...

Oxidation of bisphenol-A (BPA) was investigated using a sonophoto Fenton-like hybrid process under visible light irradiation in the presence of iron-containing perovskite LaFeO3 catalysts. For this purpose, firstly the perovskite catalyst (LaFeO3) was prepared by the sol-gel method and calcined at different temperatures (500, 700, and 800 ◦C). The prepared catalysts were characterized using XRD...

photocatalytic degradation of toxic organic compound in water, soil and air by semiconductor catalysts such as tio2 and zno have received much attention over the last two decades. however, the low quantum yield, easy agglomeration and difficult post-separation of these inorganic catalysts limit their application for large-scale applications. metal-organic frameworks (mofs) are the latest class ...

We developed a method for preparing catalysts by using hybrid clustering to form high density of metal/oxide interfacial active sites. A Rh–Mo catalyst was prepared cluster, [(RhCp*)4Mo4O16] (Cp* = η5-C5Me5), as the precursor. The activities toward NO–CO–C3H6–O2 reaction depended on mixing (hybrid > coimpregnation ≈ pristine Rh). also exhibited durability against thermal aging at 1273 K in air....

in this research different types of al2o3 were used as supports to prepare catalysts for dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutene. these supports were al2o3 from merck, axen and gamma al2o3 synthesized from al(oh)3. sn/pt/al2o3 catalysts were prepared by sequential impregnation, at first pt and then sn was deposited. characterization of catalysts was performed by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd)...

Hybrid organic-inorganic catalysts have been extensively investigated by several research groups in the last decades, as they allow combining structural robust-ness of inorganic solids with versatility organic chemistry. Within field hybrid catalysts, synthetic strategies based on silica are among most exploitable, due to convenience sol-gel chemistry, array silyl-derivative precursors that can...

Oxidation reactions are an important part of the synthetic organic chemist's toolkit and continued advancements have, in many cases, resulted in high yields and selectivities. This review aims to give an overview of the current state-of-the-art in oxygenation reactions using both chemical and enzymatic processes, the design principles applied to date and a possible future in the direction of hy...
