Metal (Cr, Mo, W) - doped carbon aerogels were synthesized from resorcinol-formaldehyde polymerization, characterized textural and chemically and used as aromatization catalysts. Catalytic performance depended on the thermal treatments applied to the samples and on the nature of the metal phases formed (pure carbon is inactive). Only cracking and aromatization reactions were detected and benzene was produced by dehydrogenation and direct 1-6 ring closure. The partial reduction of the metal oxides led to less acidic surfaces enhancing the aromatization versus cracking. Benzene selectivity of 60% without deactivation was obtained. However, when Ni and Co were reduced to the zero valence, strong interactions with the hexane led to a 100% selectivity to methane. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Glucose-Carbon Hybrids as Pt Catalyst Supports for the Continuous Furfural Hydroconversion in Gas Phase

Sergio Morales-Torres, Luisa M. Pastrana-Martinez, Juan A. Perez-Garcia, Francisco J. Maldonado-Hodar

Summary: Glucose-carbon hybrids were synthesized with different carbon materials and used as Pt-supports for furfural hydroconversion in the gas phase. The reaction pathways produced furfuryl alcohol and furane, with the distribution of products depending on the reaction temperature. The catalytic performance of Pt-catalysts supported on glucose-carbon hybrids was better at low temperatures, and no catalyst deactivation was observed after several hours on stream.

One-Pot Thermal Synthesis of g-C3N4/ZnO Composites for the Degradation of 5-Fluoruracil Cytostatic Drug under UV-LED Irradiation

Alvaro Perez-Molina, Luisa M. Pastrana-Martinez, Lorena T. Perez-Poyatos, Sergio Morales-Torres, Francisco J. Maldonado-Hodar

Summary: Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was utilized to enhance the photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles for the degradation of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cytostatic drug. CN/ZnO composites were synthesized with varied g-C3N4 loading through a thermal method, resulting in improved mesoporosity, light absorption ability, and aromaticity. The highest activity was achieved with CN/ZnO composite containing 25 wt% of g-C3N4 (CN25/ZnO), exhibiting complete degradation of 5-FU, mineralization of 48% after 180 min, and good photostability during reuse cycles. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including radicals and non-radical species, were identified as the main active species responsible for 5-FU degradation. A photocatalytic mechanism for CN/ZnO composites was also proposed.

Towards selective synthesis of quinoxalines by using transition metals-doped carbon aerogels

Marina Godino-Ojer, Sergio Morales-Torres, Francisco J. Maldonado-Hodar, Elena Perez-Mayoral

Summary: Transition metal-carbon aerogels, such as Mo, Fe, Co, or Cu, serve as effective and selective catalysts for the synthesis of quinoxalines 1 from o-phenylenediamine 2 and α-hydroxy ketones 3, presenting a sustainable alternative to other carbon-based catalysts or MOFs. The doping metal phase, which consists of metal oxides or zero-valent metals, along with the metal loading at the carbon aerogel surface, plays a crucial role in determining the reactivity and selectivity of the catalysts. The Mo-500 catalyst exhibits the highest efficiency and selectivity, likely working through the initial oxidation of α-hydroxy ketones followed by condensation-dehydration reactions.

Photodegradation of cytostatic drugs by g-C3N4: Synthesis, properties and performance fitted by selecting the appropriate precursor

Alvaro Perez-Molina, Luisa M. Pastrana-Martinez, Sergio Morales-Torres, Francisco J. Maldonado-Hodar

Summary: Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was synthesized using different N-rich precursors, and their structures and properties were evaluated. The photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 materials was tested for the removal of cytostatic drugs under near UV-Vis and solar-LED irradiations. The best performing photocatalysts were prepared from melamine and thiourea under near UV-Vis irradiation, and urea showed the highest activity under solar-LED irradiation. The photoactivity of g-C3N4 materials was attributed to their surface area, well-connected and condensed structures, and high surface C/N ratios with nitrogen vacancies.

CO2 hydrogenation to methanol over ceria-zirconia NiGa alloy catalysts

Laura Proano, Christopher W. Jones

Summary: In this study, NiGa alloy particles supported on CeO2, ZrO2, and ZrO2-CeO2 solid solutions were prepared and characterized. The nature of the support was found to have a significant influence on the catalyst's activity and selectivity, with the crystalline structure of ZrO2 having the greatest impact. Pure ZrO2 showed the highest methanol selectivity and CO2 conversion at high Zr:Ce ratios. In equimolar and Ce-rich conditions, basic sites and oxygen vacancies were found to be the key parameters affecting methanol production.

Ankush Kularkar, Vaibhav Vilas Khedekar, Sachin D. Chaudhari, Mudavath Ravi, Sadhana S. Rayalu, Penumaka Nagababu

Summary: Efficiently addressing the challenges of photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CH3OH is crucial. This study developed Zn-BTC MOF and its composites with CaIn2S4, achieving highly efficient and robust photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CH3OH under ambient conditions, using H2O2 as the hydrogen source. Among the composites, ZMCIS4 demonstrated excellent performance with a CH3OH evolution of 49100 μmol/g.cat and a quantum efficiency of approximately 78.41%. The enhanced performance was attributed to the production of nascent hydrogen atoms (H center dot) through the photo-splitting of H2O2 on the ZMCIS surface.

Yimin Li, Enggah Kurniawan, Fumiya Sato, Takayoshi Hara, Yasuhiro Yamada, Satoshi Sato

Summary: In this study, several silica-alumina catalysts modified with Ag were examined for the dehydration of 1,3-butanediol to 1,3-butadiene. Among them, an amorphous silica-alumina catalyst (SAL-3) modified with Ag showed the highest improvement in catalytic activity and stability when operated in H2 flow. The generation of reversible acid sites was found to be the reason behind the enhanced activity and stability of this Ag/SAL-3 catalyst. The effects of various parameters on the catalytic activity of Ag/SAL-3, such as reaction temperature, contact time, Ag content, and carrier gas, were investigated.
