Abstract

A hierarchical copper nanoassembly was synthesized by one-pot solvothermal treatment at 150 degrees C for 2 h in the presence of copper nitrate, formamide and water. The product exhibited phase pure hierarchical Cu microspheroids (2-7 mu m) comprising a nanorod (50-100 nm) assembly. The Cu microspheroids showed excellent air-stability, antioxidative properties and catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol.

Stable and reusable hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite with superior performance for olefin oligomerization when partially coked

Hend Omar Mohamed, Rajesh K. Parsapur, Idoia Hita, Adrian Ramirez, Kuo-Wei Huang, Jorge Gascon, Pedro Castano

Summary: The nature and location of coke in zeolite catalysis have an interdependence with its true character in the mechanisms of ethylene oligomerization. Coke can improve the selectivity and yield of higher olefins and jet-fuel aliphatics, and this effect is better exploited in polymeric templated (hierarchical) ZSM-5 zeolite, which also exhibits good stability.

Excellent nitroarene reduction activity of ilmenite nanochips prepared by facile template-free hydrothermal synthesis

Sankar Sekar, Subalakshmi Kumar, Youngmin Lee, Hyewon Jun, Jiseop Yun, Thandavarayan Maiyalagan, Sejoon Lee

Summary: In this study, ilmenite (FeTiO3) nanochips were synthesized using a template-free hydrothermal growth technique and their catalytic reduction activities for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) were demonstrated. The nanochips prepared at 180°C showed more homogeneous distributions in morphology and size compared to other samples. Moreover, they exhibited high porosity and charge transfer activity, enabling excellent reduction performance with a high reduction rate (approximately 91%) and short reduction time (6 min). These findings suggest that FeTiO3 nanochips can be utilized as an effective catalyst for the reduction of 4-NP in future environmental technology.

Long-term can-sealing protection: a stable black phosphorus nanoassembly achieved through heterogeneous hydrophobic functionalization

Ying-Hao Pai, Chun-Hua Chen

Summary: Black phosphorus (BP) as a promising 2D material has sparked extensive research, but its atmospheric instability hinders practical applications. Selective deposition of hydrophobically-functionalized Al2O3 capping layers successfully seals exfoliated BP flake assemblies, with the hydrophobic Al2O3 providing the most promising protection against rapid degradation. Valuable insights into anisotropic degradation of sealed BP assemblies induced by functionalized Al2O3 capping are provided in this work.

Dendritic Molecular Template Mediates and Directs Self-Assembly of Uniform Gold Nanoclusters to One-Pot Afford 3D-Supported Active Catalysts

Xiaoqiu Yao, Runxin Teng, Ming Jin, Decheng Wan

Summary: In this study, highly catalytically active, uniform, and supported gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) were successfully prepared in one step using an amphiphilic and dendritic molecular template. The dendritic polymer, modified with thioether groups and alkylated with hydrophobic acetyls and polystyrene chains, could act as a surfactant and a unimolecular template to stabilize the formation of uniform AuNCs within a wide pH spectrum.
