Lignin is an attractive feedstock for low molecular weight biobased phenols using depolymerization strategies such as reductive catalytic fractionation or fast pyrolysis. Such often yield a product mixture enriched in lignin-derived monomers with methoxy substituents. Selective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) effective methodology to demethoxylate these into valuable alkylated phenols. Here, we report...

Catalysts based on Mo-V-Nb oxides were examined in bulk and supported forms for the oxidation of ethane to ethene and acetic acid. Bulk Mo0.61V0.31Nb0.08Ox powders showed rates and selectivities similar to those in previous reports. Precipitation in the presence of colloidal TiO2 led to a 10-fold increase in ethene and acetic acid rates (per active oxide) without significant changes in selectiv...

The first part of the review contrasts the main drawbacks of silica-based packings such as their relative thermal and chemical instability with excellent stability of metal oxides. The paper concerns mainly ZrO2, TiO2 and Al2O3. Methods of preparation of spherical particles for HPLC are described. Surface chemistry of the oxides is, however, very different from that of silica. Ability of the ox...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotube and its hybrid nanotubes (with various metal oxides such as Ta2O5, Nb2O5, ZrO2, and SiO2) were fabricated by the sol-gel polymerization in the ethanol gels formed by simple L-lysine-based organogelator. The self-assembled nanofibers (gel fibers) formed by the gelator functioned as a template. The different calcination temperatures gave TiO2 nanotubes with variou...

The effect of Y2O3, CeO2, P2O5, ZrO2 and TiO2 in single, double and triple form on crystallization mechanism of Li2OAl2O3- SiO2(LAS) glass-ceramic system was investigated .The nucleation and crystallization peak temperatures of optimized samples in each group were determined by Ray & Day method .The crystalline phase was determined by the X-ray diffractometery .The micro-structure of the sample...

The Zirconium and Titanium ceramic materials are used to make PZT (Lead zirconate titanate) piezoelectric composite. In this article, the dioxide (ZrO2) (TiO2) fillers with, ferroelectric polymer PolyVinyliDene fluoride-Tri Fluoro Ethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)) utilized ZrO2/P(VDF-TrFE) TiO2 /P(VDF-TrFE) nano-composite thinfilm for flexible vibration energy harvester application. scanning electron micr...

Surface coating is an effective concept to protect layered cathode active materials (CAMs) in lithium ion batteries from detrimental side reactions. Dry powder a fast and cost-effective process, here we transfer this approach Al2O3 nanostructured fumed TiO2 ZrO2 coatings on the same NMC (Li[Ni,Mn,Co]O2) material. Using similar processing, allows direct comparison of characteristics achieved lay...

A zirconia-based catalyst with controlled crystalline phases is synthesized through a simple thermal decomposition of parent UiO-66 single precursor. The introduction Ti(IV) and Hf(IV) cation into the Zr(IV) framework has been successfully obtained to tune photocatalytic activity over methyl orange (MO) solution. Their resulting phases, morphologies, elemental analysis, band gap values, surface...
