Summary: Ammonia synthesis via atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge plasma over nickel nanoparticles supported on silica showed a significant size effect, with the smallest nanoparticle size sample having at least 2 times higher synthesis rate than the larger nanoparticle size sample and nickel bulk. This study observed the size effect in plasma catalysis for the first time and determined the beneficial gas composition for hydrogen sink metal such as nickel under atmospheric plasma conditions.

Summary: This study prepared polystyrene-divinylbenzene mesoporous microspheres and their composite microspheres with silver nanoparticles using a two-step seed-swelling polymerization. The effects of different swelling agents on the morphology and structure of mesoporous microspheres were investigated, and the difference between sulfonic acid microspheres and silver nanoparticle composite microspheres during methylene blue (MB) dye degradation was discussed. The composite microspheres exhibited higher removal efficiency for MB due to the electrostatic interactions between sulfonic acid groups and MB, as well as the catalytic reduction of MB by loaded silver nanoparticles.

Summary: The study focuses on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using aminated alkaline lignin (AAL) for in-situ reduction, showing higher reduction capacity and better water solubility compared to alkaline lignin (AL). The AgNPs/AAL composite exhibited improved binding force between lignin and AgNPs, with higher AgNPs content and catalytic performance in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. AgNPs size and dispersion were influenced by the amination degree of lignin, and the compound could be easily recovered and reused for multiple cycles.
