The zeolite with BEA structure has been obtained using different Al amounts in the presence of tetraethylammonium as a structure directing agent. The effect of the Si/Al molar ratio on the crystal size, morphology, yield, chemical composition and catalytic properties was investigated. The materials have been characterized towards zeolitic properties by XRD, SEM, EDS, TGA, Si-29 MAS-NMR, XPS and TEM. The chemical composition of the crystals depends on the concentration of the initial reaction mixture and that a decrease in the Al content is associated with an increase in particle size. The characterization by TGA/DTA of as-synthesized zeolites with BEA structure showed that an increase of Si content resulted in the formation of [=Si-O-][TEA(+)] species, this was supported by Si-29 MAS-NMR. The XPS results also showed that the chemical composition of the surface differed from that of the bulk material, this was supported by TEM/EDS results. The results of catalytic activity tests indicated that a fraction of the [=Si-O-][TEA(+)]species was present on the external surfaces of the crystals, although the largest fraction appeared to be in the interior of the particles. As-synthesized BEA zeolite showed good catalytic activity and suggests that this material can be applied in other reactions involving basic sites. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks containing Zn as catalysts for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction

Karen N. Franke, Maria E. Ribeiro, Dilson Cardoso

Summary: The synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) in aqueous medium using Zn(II) cations and 2-methylimidazolate anions was studied, with triethylamine playing a key role in facilitating the formation of ZIF-8 microporous structure. The presence or absence of the deprotonation agent significantly affected the structure and characteristics of the ZIFs, impacting their catalytic performance in Knoevenagel condensation reaction.Furthermore, ZIF-8 exhibited high catalytic stability and lower activation energy during consecutive reuses.

Summary: In the absence of preventive maintenance, corrosion of structural steel by the deterioration of the passive layer due to exposure to aggressive environments is the main failure factor of reinforced concrete. Research has shown that organic-inorganic hybrid coatings, such as nanostructured PMMA-silica coatings, provide effective protection for reinforcing steel, offering a combination of eco-friendliness, efficiency, and durability.

On the performance of self-organized TiO 2 nanotubes@MnO x as supercapacitor: Influence of the heat treatment, cathodic treatment, water aging, and thermal oxides

Thais T. Pinto, Yeison Nunez-de la Rosa, Peter Hammer, Jose M. Aquino

Summary: The performance of finely dispersed epsilon-MnO2 over two different self-organized TiO2 nanotubes (Ti/TiO2-NT) substrates used as templates was assessed. The formation of Ti(III)/oxygen vacancies was induced by a cathodic treatment (CT). The highest specific capacitance values were obtained when a CT was applied regardless of the substrate used. Furthermore, the hydroxylated surface produced during CT led to a decrease in charge transfer resistance and an increase in the TiO2-NT@MnO2 film conductivity.

Structural Properties of Epoxy-Silica Barrier Coatings for Corrosion Protection of Reinforcing Steel

Mayara Carla Uvida, Adriana de Araujo Almeida, Sandra Helena Pulcinelli, Celso Valentim Santilli, Peter Hammer

Summary: This study evaluated the influence of the proportion of poly (bisphenol-A-co-epichlorhydrin) resin (DGEBA) to the curing agent diethylenetriamine (DETA) on the properties of epoxy-silica nanocomposites. The results showed that coatings with a DETA to DGEBA ratio of 0.4 exhibited the best long-term corrosion protection, attributed to the presence of larger silica nanodomains as fillers in the cross-linked epoxy matrix, which enhanced the diffusion barrier.

The role of hydration water in inorganic M+n-magadiites (M+n = K+, Ca+2 , Mg-2): Advances in structural and electronic analysis by DFT calculations

Bruna Nadia N. Silva, Heloise O. Pastore, Alexandre A. Leitao

Summary: This study examines the simulated structures of K-, Mg-, and Ca-magadiites based on Namagadiite. The results show that Na- and K-magadiites have longer coordinated bond lengths and higher basal spacing values, while solids containing divalent cations form the strongest hydrogen bonds between water molecules and layers. Vibrational analysis identifies different stretching and bending motions of water molecules, and simulated-experimental comparison suggests a sequential adsorption of water molecules in dehydrated samples. Thermodynamic analysis confirms the difficulty of achieving complete sodium-potassium exchange, except for Ca-magadiite which can form spontaneously.

Congli Li, Jiang Wang, Zhenfei Wang, Jinxiang Dong, Qi Shi

Summary: This study investigates the evolution and autoreduction behavior of Cu species in CuCl/NaY adsorbent during vacuum thermal activation.

Irena Khatrin, Iman Abdullah, Alan J. Mccue, Yuni K. Krisnandi

Summary: Hierarchical porous system with two types of mesopores provides a solution to the diffusion limitation in conventional zeolites. Cobalt oxide impregnated hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite samples with intra- and inter-crystalline mesopores were synthesized using two different strategies. The physicochemical properties of the modified catalysts were analyzed, revealing distinct features given by the two mesoporous configurations. Catalytic activity analysis showed that Co-oxide/ZSM-5 with inter-crystalline mesopores exhibited higher activity in methane partial oxidation reaction compared to Co-oxide/ZSM-5 with intra-crystalline mesopores.
