1,2-Diketones have been reacted in one-pot method with 1,2-diamines at room temperature with ZnO nanoparticles as a catalyst. ZnO nanoparticles as an available and reusable catalyst is used for the synthesis of Quinoxalinein improved yields.

in this research, the adsorption destructive process of chlorpyrifos (cp,o,o-diethyl-o-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl phosphorothioate) as a noticeable organophosphate pesticide using in agriculture on the nickel tungstate (niwo4) nanoparticles catalyst was investigated and monitored via the 31p nuclear magnetic resonance (31pnmr). the effects of various experimental parameters such as catalyst do...

The facile recycling of gold hydrosilylation catalyst was achieved by using fluorous phosphine-modified gold complexes and/or nanoparticles.

A highly active heterogeneous Fenton catalyst was fabricated by impregnating iron oxide nanoparticles in alumina coated mesoporous SBA-15 silica.

this study introduces a green and efficient method for preparation of biologically-active substituted 4h-pyrans using the one-pot three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, dimedone and malononitrile in the presence of cobalt oxide nanoparticles. co3o4 nanoparticles were used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes,...

The quest for renewable and cleaner energy sources to meet the rapid population and economic growth is more urgent than ever before. Being the most abundant carbon source in the atmosphere of Earth, CO2 can be used as an inexpensive C1 building block in the synthesis of aromatic fuels for internal combustion engines. We designed a process capable of synthesizing benzene, toluene, xylenes and me...

Three types of Co3O4 nanoparticles are synthesized and characterized as a catalyst for the air electrode of a Li/air battery. The shape and size of the nanoparticles are observed using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analyses. The formation of the Co3O4 phase is confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The electrochemical property of the air electrodes containing Co3O4 ...

We study the restructuring of solid nickel catalyst nanoparticles during carbon nanotube growth by environmental transmission electron microscopy and multiscale modeling. Our molecular dynamics/continuum transport calculations of surface-diffusion-mediated restructuring are in quantitative agreement with the experimentally observed catalyst shape evolutions. The restructuring time scale is dete...

Palladium nanoparticles have been electrochemically supported on zirconium oxide nanostructured powders and all the nanomaterials have been characterized by several analytical techniques. The Pd/ZrO(2) nanocatalyst is demonstrated to be a very efficient catalyst in Heck, Ullmann, and Suzuki reactions of aryl halides in water. The catalyst efficiency is attributed to the stabilization of Pd nano...

Platinum nanoparticles, which are used as catalysts in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), tend to degrade after long-term operation. We discriminate the following mechanisms of the degradation: poisoning, migration and coalescence, dissolution, and electrochemical Ostwald ripening. There are two ways to tackle this problem. The first option involves formulation of durable catalyst, wh...
