novel nano-catalysts (nano zno and fe doped zno (fe(0.1)zn(0.99)o) synthesized by co-precipitation method in aqueous solution as new nanocatalysts and characterized by common techniques as ftir, xrd, sem and uvd. the size of particles obtained from xrd data is 27 and 16 nanometers for zno and fresno respectively. influences of doped fe on zno catalytic properties in oxidation of benzylic alcoho...

A stepwise catalytic oxidation for nitric oxide and nitrite by water-soluble iron(III) meso-tetrakis(N -methylpyridinium-4yl)porphyrin (Fe(4-TMPyP)) was first revealed by using an ITO electrode. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies characterized the formation of oxoiron(IV) porphyrin and oxoiron(IV) porphyrin p-cation radical in the oxidation of Fe(4TMPyP). O@Fe(4-TMPyP) showed se...

background: catalytic ozonation has recently been applied as a new method of contaminant removal from water and wastewater. in this study, copper coated pumice and zeolite were used to catalyze the ozonation of phenol as a target pollutant from aqueous solutions. methods: the pumice and zeolite stone were modified by cuso 4 (1n). modified pumice and zeolite were characterized by adsorption/deso...

nanostructured iron oxide powder that has been recovered from waste pickling liquor unit of steel industry was studied for oxidation catalytic applications. in this research, the powder was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transition electron microscopy (tem) for determination of phase structure, morphology and particle size. furthermore, the specific surface area of the powder was ...

TET-mediated 5-methyl cytosine (5mC) oxidation acts in epigenetic regulation, stem cell development, and cancer. Hu et al. now determine the crystal structure of the TET2 catalytic domain bound to DNA, shedding light on 5mC-DNA substrate recognition and the catalytic mechanism of 5mC oxidation.

HKUST-1, a copper-based metal organic framework (MOF), has been investigated as a catalyst in various reactions. However, the HKUST-1 shows low catalytic activity in the oxidation of catechol. Therefore, we synthesized Fe₃O₄@HKUST-1 by layer-by layer assembly strategy and Cu@Cu₂O by reduction of HKUST-1 for enhancement of catalytic activity. Cu@Cu₂O nanoparticles exhibited highly effective cata...
