palladium nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (pd/mwcnts) have been synthesized using a modified polyol reduction method and its performance in methanol oxidation reactions has evaluated. the morphology of palladium on mwcnts was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). the catalytic performance of synthesized catalyst ...

protective coatings that resist oxide scale growth and decrease chromium evaporation are necessary to makestainless steel interconnect materials for long-term durable operation of solid oxide fuel cells (sofcs). inthis study a layer of manganese was coated on the surface of aisi 441 ferritic stainless steel which is used insolid oxide fuel cells for interconnect applications. the oxidation beha...

compounds derived from lipid oxidation endangering human health and lead to cardiovascular disease and cancer. the addition of antioxidants is effective in retarding the oxidation of lipids and lipid containing foods. due to the toxicological effects of synthetic antioxidants, decrease their use and replacing them with natural antioxidants. this study investigates antioxidant effect of pimpinel...

The electrochemical oxidation behavior of m-nitrophenol (m-NP) was studied comparatively on glassy carbon electrode, Pt electrode, PbO2 electrode, SnO2 electrode, and graphite electrode using cyclic voltammetry. The cyclic voltammetry measurements were performed in acidic (1 M H2SO4, pH 0.4), neutral (1 M Na2SO4, pH 6.8), and...

   In this study, the change of porosity and roughness of carbon nanostructures, including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene was investigated according to oxidation process. The effect of oxidation was more sensible on smoother surface of nanostructures. Oxidation increases surface roughness of graphene up to 5.2% and porosity up to 35.2%. While, roughness of hummers graphene is 13....

in this research, we reported a novel modified carbon ceramic electrode (cce) using ni/al layered double hydroxide as modifier was fabricated by sol-gel technique. the ni/al layered double hydroxide modified sol gel derived carbon ceramic (ni/al ldh-sgd-cc) electrode was used for electrocatalytic oxidation of acetaldehyde. the oxidation of acetaldehyde happens at the potential where ni (iii) sp...

The vanadium-based catalyst, acts as a homogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of various kinds of sulfides with 30% aqueous H2O2. Vanadium-based catalyst was successfully used as the oxygen source for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides for the first time. The sulfoxides were obtained in a good way to high yields without any detectable over-oxidation to sulfones under normal condi...

Iron (III) meso-tetrakis(p-sulfonatophenyl)-β-octabromoporphyrin supported on Amberlite IRA- 400 [Fe(Br8 TPPS)-Ad-400] is a robust and efficient catalyst for oxidation of alkenes and alcohols at room temperature. The catalyst exhibits a high activity and stability in hydrocarbon oxidation by H2 O2 . The method was useful in the oxidation of various primary, secondary-aliphatic, alicyclic and ar...
