Abstract

The Fe-based catalysts have attracted good attention due to their earth abundance and low toxicity with good Fenton-like performance. However, the narrow pH working range and iron-containing sludge produced during the reaction drove the necessary of developing a potential catalyst in the corresponding application. High entropy alloy that now expands to complex concentrated alloy (CCA) represents a new class of material owing to a broader range of functional and structural properties. A new application of CCA as a catalyst for catalytic degradation of azo dyes has already been a scientific research hotspot. AlCrFeCoNi CCA powder has been successfully synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) method using a vertical planetary ball mill. Based on the characterization, the catalyst possessed a spherical morphology with a particle size range of 3.5-12.6 mm. The catalyst exhibited photo-Fenton performance up to 85.3% which would be a promising Fenton-like catalyst for wastewater treatment. Copyright © 2024 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.

Abstract

Zeolitic Imidazole Frameworks (ZIFs) are prospective porous materials as catalyst support due to their relatively large surface area, and tunability in size, structure, and porosity. Recent studies have also shown that ZIF is the best candidate for various catalytic redox reactions such as the oxidation of benzyl aromatic hydrocarbons. In this study, the synthesized Pt catalyst supported on Co-ZIF was varied by the organic ligands: imidazole, benzimidazole, and 1-(3-aminopropyl) imidazole, then followed by impregnation of Pt precursor. The catalysts were characterized its physical and chemicals properties such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Brunauer Emmet Teller (BET), Temperature-Programmed Desorption (NH3-TPD and CO2-TPD). The prepared catalysts were evaluated for catalytic hydrocracking and hydroisomerization of n-hexadecane in a 100 ml-batch reactor. GC-MS analysis presented that the Pt/ZIF catalyst with imidazole ligands has better performance than others. Hence, the optimization of n-Hexadecane conversion was carried out by the Pt/ZIF-imidazole catalyst varying the amount of metal loading, time and temperature reaction. The results showed that the reaction temperature of 350 ºC using 20 bar H2 for 4 h and the addition of 15 wt% Pt successfully achieved 90.77% conversion and produced the highest yield of isomers and alkanes, 4.04% and 35.75%, respectively.

Abstract

CO2 conversion into fuels and high value-added chemical feedstocks, such as methane, has gained novel interest as a crucial process for further manufacturing multi-carbon products. Methane, CH4, becomes a promising alternative for environmental and energy supply issues. Nickel-based catalysts were found to be very active and selective for CH4 production. The use of promoter and support material to develop high activity, high selectivity, and durable catalysts for CO2 methanation at low temperature is a challenge. Gadolinium-Doped Ceria (GDC) has been known as material for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) due to higher ionic conductivity and lower operating temperatures. However, few researches have been done regarding to CO2 methanation over GDC as catalyst support so far. In this present work, CO2 methanation was investigated over bimetallic Ni-Fe catalyst supported by GDC. The results showed that CH4 production rate by using Ni-Fe/GDC catalyst was higher than that of GDC at all reaction temperatures carried on. Ni-Fe/GDC showed remarkable CH4 production rate as of 17.73 mmol.gcat−1.h−1 at 280 °C. No catalytic activity was produced by GDC catalyst only. The highest CO2 conversion (46.50%) was observed at 280 °C, with almost 100% selectivity to CH4. The turnover frequency (TOF) value of Ni-Fe/GDC (4529.32 h−1) was the highest than that of Ni and common CO2 methanation catalyst, Ni/Al2O3 catalysts at 280 °C, further displaying the outstanding low-temperature catalytic activity.

Abstract

A subclass of Metal-Organic Frameworks, Zeolitic Imidazole Frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) is known as an emerging material that has the characteristic of a large surface area, good thermal stability as well as a high porosity. Instead of having extraordinary properties, ZIF-8 consists of Lewis acid and Lewis base site on its Zn metals and 2-methylimidazole which are the important components for the catalyst. In this study, Pd-Poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) coated on ZIF-8 (Pd-PVP@ZIF-8) was synthesized by mixed Pd-PVP solution and ZIF-8 precursors at room temperature. The Pd-PVP solution was varied from 10 to 50 ml to differentiate the Pd concentration in ZIF-8. As-synthesized 50 ml of Pd-PVP on ZIF-8 (50Pd-PVP@ZIF-8) showed catalytic activity in the conversion of 98.6% lauric acid to produce 78.2% of 1-dodecanol at optimum condition 320 °C for 6 h. The synergy between Pd-PVP as metal and ZIF-8 as metal support as well as high dispersion of Pd particles could enhance performance in the conversion of lauric acid.

Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been considered as one of the most promising photocatalysts for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Therefore, numerous efforts have been devoted to improving its PEC water splitting performance. In this study, TiO2 nanorod/nanoflower (NRF) films with controlled morphology were synthesized on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates by following a facile one-step hydrothermal method. The TiO2 NRF films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer. FE-SEM showed that the TiO2 films are composed of a simultaneous growth of a primary layer of TiO2 nanorod arrays (NRAs) and a second layer of TiO2 nanoflowers (NFs). The proposed growth mechanism highlighted the influence of precursor concentration on nucleation sites, affecting the preferred crystallographic plane growth of rutile TiO2 and nanorod alignment on the FTO substrate. Intriguingly, TiO2 NRF films prepared with 1.0 mL of titanium butoxide exhibited a maximum photocurrent density of 3.58 mA.cm−2 at 1.23 V versus (vs.) the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), along with a maximum photoconversion efficiency of 0.69%. The enhanced photocurrent density and photoconversion efficiency were attributed to the optimum thickness in the range of 4.52-7.31 µm, which caused the film to be formed with a unique morphology of the primary layer with well-vertically aligned nanorods and the second layer of flowers consisting of numerous rods stacked on top of one another. This study demonstrates the importance of designing semiconductors with 1D nanorod/3D nanoflower structures as high-performance photoelectrodes for PEC water splitting.

Abstract

The biodiesel synthesis of waste cooking oil (WCO) over a impregnated biochar catalyst was systematically studied. This research aimed to prepare Biochar-based material that comes from coconut coir, activate it, and apply it as a catalyst to the esterification reaction of high-FFA waste cooking oil. Activation of the catalyst was done by impregnation H2SO4 solution in Biochar. The obtained catalyst was characterized by FTIR, XRF, XRD, surface area analyzer, and SEM-EDS. The esterification process was conducted by varying the catalyst weight (5, 7, and 10 wt%) and the reaction temperature (55 and 60 °C). The obtained liquid yields were characterized by GC-MS. The study found that the esterification process worked best with 10 wt% catalysts, a 1:76 mole ratio of oil to alcohol, and a reaction temperature of 60 °C. The waste cooking oil was successfully converted into biodiesel, reaching 84.50% of yield and 77.30% of purity (methyl ester content). Meanwhile, testing using national biodiesel standards with parameter limits of density, viscosity, iodine number, and acid number shows results that meet the requirements.

Abstract

As an adsorbent material, Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) provides several advantages, such as large surface area and pore volume, as well as stability in aqueous systems both in acidic, basic, and neutral conditions. The research successfully made a metal organic framework (MOF) from chromium and perylene that was modulated by isonicotinic acid. This was done using three different methods: hydrothermal (Cr-PTC-HIna-HT), solvothermal (Cr-PTC-HIna-ST), and sonochemical (Cr-PTC-HIna-SC). The Cr-PTC-HIna-SC showed the greatest Pb2+ ion adsorption capacity. The optimum adsorption of Pb2+ ions occurred at 150 ppm Pb2+ ion concentration, pH 5, 90 minutes of contact time, and an adsorption capacity of 149.95 mg/g at 35 °C. The dominant adsorption isotherm model is the Langmuir isotherm model with R2 = 0.9867 and follows the pseudo-second-order. The selectivity test showed that Cr-PTC-HIna-SC MOF could adsorb more Cd2+ ions than Pb2+ ions, with 250 mg/g being the best amount.

Abstract

The properties and activity of TiO2-based nanorods as an antifouling agent and a photocatalyst for the catalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) have been investigated. A modification of TiO2 with SiO2 was first carried out to enlarge the surface area. In order to enhance the TiO­2 photo response to the visible light region, a further modification of TiO2-SiO2 (TS) composites with polyaniline (PANI) was also conducted. The nanorod TiO2 exhibited an anatase structure based on the diffraction patterns. The TEM images showed that some TiO2 molecules were attached around SiO2 with a random orientation. The TiO2-SiO2-PANI (TS-PANI) exhibited the largest specific surface area (SBET) of about 256.85 m2/g. The profile on the AFM images of the composites showed that the nano-roughness of the coatings was confirmed. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated through the decomposition of MB both on the powder and the coated composites. The photocatalytic activity on the coatings was verified due to further application as anti-fouling coatings involving photocatalytic mechanism. The decomposition of MB using TS-PANI powder and TS-PANI coating composites was 89.5% and 90.2 %, respectively, with the irradiation time on the coatings was 20 min longer. The anti-fouling activity through the photocatalytic mechanism and nano-roughness surface was confirmed by the inhibition of barnacle growth on the teakwood surface immersed for two months in the sea.

Abstract

In this study, the synthesis of FeBTC (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) also known as MIL-100 (Fe) metal organic framework (MOF) has been carried out successfully using green mechanochemical method (neat grinding and liquid assisted grinding). The effect of solvent used in the synthesis was investigated for the first time to elucidate the physicochemical properties of FeBTC including crystal structure, thermal stability, pore size and specific surface area. The physicochemical properties of all FeBTC obtained in this study were compared to commercial FeBTC (Basolite F-300), characterized using powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and nitrogen physisorption isotherms. All Fe-BTC MOF synthesized in this study showed improved textural properties compared to commercial Basolite F-300 such as higher crystallinity, higher surface area and larger pore size. It was found that the best synthesis method was by using the mixture of ethanol and water with equal volume ratio as solvent. The highest BET surface area of FeBTC synthesized using this method was 972 m2/g for FeBTC-EtOH/H2O. This value is 2.3 times higher than the surface area of commercial Basolite F-300 (418 m2/g). FeBTC with higher surface area is expected to have higher catalytic activity which makes this FeBTC an excellent candidate as a heterogenous catalyst for many reactions such as aldol condensation or esterification reaction.
