PWA/MCM-41 (20%) showed the highest activity as compared to that of parent PWA and MCM-41 individually, due to the excellent dispersion of PWA on MCM-41 leading to the redistribution of Bronsted and Lewis acid sites on MCM-41. The effect of PWA loading on phthalic anhydride conversion and phenolphthalein selectivity was also studied. All these prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, pyridine-FTIR, and NH3-TPD. The effect of various reaction parameters, namely, mole ratios, catalyst concentration, temperature, reaction time, and percentage of PWA present in the catalysts on conversion and selectivity of products has been also investigated.

A systematic comparison of the performance of these catalysts along with parent montmorillonite was carried out for the hydroxyalkylation of p-cresol with formaldehyde to give 2, 2'-methylenebis (4-methyl phenol) (DAM). It was found that the activity of these catalysts was in accordance with the increase in acidity of parent montmorillonite after the exchange of cations in the order of Zn2+, Fe3+ and Al3+. The selectivity pattern was also influenced by the exchanged cations. Since Al-montmorillonite showed the highest conversion of 51% with 98% selectivity to DAM, the effects of various reaction parameters, namely, mole ratio, catalyst concentration, temperature, reaction time on conversion and selectivity pattern were also studied using the same catalyst This catalyst also showed an excellent stability as evidenced by its eight times reuse.

Thus, nano rod shaped CO3O4 catalyst showed 75% and 38% conversion of veratryl alcohol with complete selectivity to veratryl aldehyde in toluene and water, respectively, under base free condition. The influence of reaction conditions, such as temperature, oxygen pressure and catalyst loading was studied to obtain the optimum product yield and selectivity to the desired product.

The detailed studies on the morphology, size and composition of the as-prepared RGO-MnCoO nanocomposite by XRD, XPS, N-2-adsorption/desorption and O-2-TPD techniques were used to understand the role of RGO in the enhancement of catalytic activity for oxidation reaction.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.00</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jha, Ajay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jeong, Dae-Woon</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shim, Jae-Oh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jang, Won-Jun</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lee, Yeol-Lim</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rode, Chandrashekhar V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roh, Hyun-Seog</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrogen production by the water-gas shift reaction using CuNi/Fe2O3 catalyst</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catalysis Science &amp; Technology</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2752-2760</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Incorporation of both Cu and Ni together into the crystalline lattice of Fe2O3 results in a significant increase in the catalytic activity and also suppresses the methanation reaction in the high-temperature water-gas shift (HT-WGS) reaction. CuNi/Fe2O3 exhibited the highest CO conversion with negligible CH4 selectivity at the extremely high GHSV of 101 000 h(-1) (X-CO = 85% at 400 degrees C). The high activity of CuNi/Fe2O3 catalyst is mainly due to the increase in the lattice strain and the decrease in the binding energy of lattice oxygen. In addition, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results provide direct evidence for the formation of surface CuNi alloy, which plays a critical role in suppressing the methanation reaction. The detailed characterization by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), XPS, BET, and H-2 temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) techniques was used to understand the role of dopants on host iron oxides in the enhancement of catalytic activity for HT-WGS reaction.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.287</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jha, Ajay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jeong, Dae-Woon</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jang, Won-Jun</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rode, Chandrashekhar V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roh, Hyun-Seog</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mesoporous NiCu-CeO2 oxide catalysts for high-temperature water-gas shift reaction</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RSC Advances</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NOV</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1430-1437</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Mesoporous NiCu-CeO2 oxide catalysts were synthesized by using the evaporation-induced self-assembly method applied to the high-temperature, water-gas shift reaction (HT-WGS) between 350 to 550 degrees C. Nickel and copper loadings on mesoporous ceria were tailored to achieve high activity and selectivity by suppressing methane formation in HT-WGS. Among the prepared catalysts, NiCu(1 : 4)-CeO2 exhibited the highest selectivity to CO2 and H-2 with 85% CO conversion at a very high GHSV of 83 665 h(-1). The higher activity of the catalysts was due to the mesoporous architecture, which provides more accessible active sites for the WGS reaction.

The composite material was characterised by SEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, high-resolution TEM and cyclic voltammetry (CV). A CV study revealed that the increase in the redox potential of the mixed oxide after being supported on GO, led to its higher activity of the catalyst for the oxidation reaction.

Experimental results revealed that Me-Ni-CeO2 exhibited higher catalytic performance than simple Me-CeO2 catalysts. Within the Me-Ni-CeO2 series, Co-Ni-CeO2 exhibited excellent and stable catalytic performance (CO conversion &amp;gt; 90%) at a very high GHSV of 143,000 h(-1). The existence of high&quot; concentration of Ce3+ ions and oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface were responsible for the increased WGS activity of Co-Ni-CeO2. In addition, Co-Ni-CeO2 maintains a stable performance for 50 h. However, commercial Fe2O3-Cr2O3 catalyst showed a steep decline from their initial CO conversion values 15-10% within 5 h.

Here we demonstrate a host-guest supramolecular charge transfer (CT) assembly using photoactive anthraquinone-based COF as an acceptor while incarcerating the electron donor N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) inside it. Employing femtosecond broadband transient absorption spectroscopy in combination with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies, we show that the CT occurs rapidly within &lt;110 fs after photoexcitation, subsequently leading to long-lived charge separation with 13% quantum efficiency at room temperature. The photoinduced EPR signature of the long-lived confined DMA cation radical confirms the disparate regions of charge localization while H-1-C-13 correlation experiments using solid-state NMR spectroscopy enumerate the packing of the amines inside the host-guest COF assembly. Our work demonstrates the potency of charge transport pathways in supramolecular assemblies for efficient charge separation which if optimally tuned should pave the way for COF-based photocatalytic reaction centers.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.126</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
