The desire for lightweight nanoporous materials with high-performance thermal insulation and efficient anti-ablation resistance for energy conservation and thermal protection/insulation has greatly motivated research and development recently. The main challenge to synthesize such lightweight materials is how to balance the relationship of low thermal conductivity and flame retardancy. Herein, w...

The basic LaCoO3 perovskite oxides were prepared by the series of methods (reverse co-precipitation, citric acid aided sol–gel, glycine assisted solution combustion), underwent physicochemical characterization (XRD, FTIR, BET, XPS and SEM), followed their soot oxidation activity tests in both “loose” “tight” conditions soot-catalyst contact. revealed that catalyst formed using combustion synthe...

Nanoporous alumina membranes exhibit high pore densities, well-controlled and uniform pore sizes, as well as straight pores. Owing to these unusual properties, nanoporous alumina membranes are currently being considered for use in implantable sensor membranes and water purification membranes. Atomic layer deposition is a thin-film growth process that may be used to modify the pore size in a nan...

Sulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 (SBA-Pr-SO3H) with pore size 6 nm as an efficient heterogeneous nanoporous solid acid catalyst exhibited good catalytic activity in the Biginelli-like reaction in the synthesis of spiroheterobicyclic rings with good yield and good recyclability. Spiro-pyrimidinethiones/spiro-pyrimidinones-barbituric acid derivatives were synthesized in a simple and efficient ...

In this research, by a simple and modified method, nanoporous of Ni(II) ion loaded Y-type zeolite (NNZ) was designed and applied as a novel highly efficient catalyst for the synthesis of quinoxalines, pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines, and indolo[2,3-b]quinoxalines 3a-s. These heterocycles were obtained through a one-pot condensation reaction of aryl-1,2-diamines with 1,2-dik...

isotherm equation is one of the important scientific bases for adsorbent selection. there are different isotherms that do not account for an adsorbate, different chemisorption geometries on the nanoporous surface. it is interesting to introduce a general isotherm, which considers different chemisorption geometries of an adsorbate on nanoporous surfaces. in this study, an isotherm for non-dissoci...

Catalytic materials used in many industrial and energy-conversion processes must be durable to maximize their useful lifetimes, especially when expensive precious metal catalysts are utilized. Conventional methods of catalyst formation typically use synthetic stabilizers and reductants to form nanostructures with high surface area and catalytic activity. Synthesized nanomaterials are then mixed...
