In this work the kinetic data demanded for kinetic modeling were obtained in temperatures 350, 400, 450 and 500 oC by conducting experimentations on a Fe-Cr nanocatalyst prepared from a novel method and a commercial Fe-Cr-Cu one. The collected data were subjected to kinetic modeling by using two models derived from redox and associative mechanisms as well as an empirical one. The coefficients o...

Manganese oxides attract considerable attention as redox catalysts for abatement of environmental pollutants due to their relatively high activity and low costs contrary noble metal catalysts. The present work is focused on the effect cryptomelane-type MnO2 catalyst modification with Fe3+, Ce3+/Ce4+, Sn4+ phase composition, structural peculiarities, catalytic in CO oxidation. samples are invest...

Improved catalytic durability towards acidic oxygen reduction reaction is achieved by using a Pt-free and Fe-free single-atom catalyst based on Mn, Co N co-doped carbon (MnCo–N–C), compared with (Co–N–C) catalyst.

A one-step sintering process was developed to produce magnetocaloric La(Fe,Si)13/Ce-Co composites. The effects of Ce2Co7 content and time on the relevant phase transformations were determined. Following at 1373 K/30 MPa for 1–6 h, NaZn13-type (La,Ce)(Fe,Co,Si)13 formed, mass fraction ?-Fe reduced CeFe7-type (La,Ce)(Fe,Co,Si)7 appeared. increased, decreased with increasing content. However, time...

New phosphoramidite complexes of iron were synthesized and structurally characterized. Reaction of the known chiral phosphoramidites (RO)2PNR'2 (R = binaphthyl, R' = CH3, 1a; R = binaphthyl, R' = benzyl, 1b) with [FeBr(Cp)(CO)2] afforded the title compounds [FeBr(Cp)(CO)(1a,b)] (4a,b) in 34 and 65 % isolated yields as mixtures of diastereomers, since both the metal and the ligand are stereogeni...

   In this research carbon nanotubes were produced by chemical vapor deposition of acetylene over a mixture of iron and cobalt catalysts supported on nanometric TiO2 and the influences of two synthesis parameters: growth temperature and catalyst composition ratio on properties of end-product carbon nanotubes were investigated. The catalytic basis was prepared by wet impregnation ...

The partial oxidation of methane to syngas was studied in this work over Ni-containing ceria catalysts with nickel content of 5, 10 and 20 at.% at atmospheric pressure. All catalysts, in the as prepared state, showed similar activity and CO selectivity at T ≥ 550◦C. Catalyst pre-reduction was not required. Reaction mixtures were dilute, containing 3 mol% CH4 and 1.5 mol% O2. Methane conversion ...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) of diameters of 10–40 nm are synthesized on Fe and Co coated nm-scale catalyst support in a xylene chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process without the need for ferrocene iron source. Silica ( 40 nm diameter) and nanocrystalline Au ( 10 nm) are coated with a monolayer of amine, sulfonate, or thiol termination to ensure monolayer Fe loading, reduce Fe surface mi...

Conversion of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) to value-added products is an important challenge for sustainable energy research, and nanomaterials offer a broad class of heterogeneous catalysts for such transformations. Here we report a molecular surface functionalization approach to tuning gold nanoparticle (Au NP) electrocatalysts for reduction of CO2 to CO. The N-heterocyclic (NHC) c...
