Introducing Pt/ZnO as a new non carbon substrate electro catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction at low temperature acidic fuel cells

Gas diffusion electrode was used for providing better conditions in fuel cell systems for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Because the slow kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction at the proton exchange membrane fuel cell cathode restricts fuel cell efficiency. To this end, researchers have used platinum-coated carbon. In the present study, due to the reduction […]

Synthesis of methyl 6-amino-5-cyano-4-aryl-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-3-carboxylates using nanocrystalline ZnZr4(PO4)6 ceramics as an efficient catalyst

Nanocrystalline ZnZr4(PO4)6 ceramics as an efficient catalyst have been used for the preparation of methyl 6-amino-5-cyano-4-aryl-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-3-carboxylates by the four component reaction of dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate, hydrazinehydrate, malononitrile and aromatic aldehydes in water at room temperature. In this research Nano-ZnZr4(PO4)6 coordinate with the active groups(particular C=O, C≡N and active H) thus increasing the activity of the groups. Also […]

A study on the catalytic activity of a new acidic ordered mesoporous silica (SBA-15)

SBA-15 is an interesting mesoporous silica material having highly ordered nanopores and a large surface area, which is widely employed as a catalyst. This mesoporous silica due to silanol groups is easily functionalized by various organic materials. A new acidic ordered functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-15-Aminopropyl-Benzyl-SO3H) has been introduced as an efficient catalyst for solvent-free esterification […]

Synthesis of ternary Ce2O3/La2O3/Fe3O4 oxides as a potential catalyst for SO2 reduction by CH4 to sulfur

In this study, ternary mixed metal oxide (Ce2O3/La2O3/Fe3O4) catalysts were synthesized for reduction of SO2 to sulfur by CH4. The response surface method (RSM) was used to optimize the synthesis conditions. The XRD, FESEM, BET, BJH, EDX and NH3-TPD analyses were performed to characterize the synthesized catalysts. The optimum conditions were obtained for an activated […]

Comparative study on the electrocatalytic activity of dissimilar electrode combinations for the treatment of textile effluent by electrocoagulation process and their subsequent reuse

The synthetic dyes which are largely used in the textile industries pollute the total ecosystem. They can be treated using different technologies but in order to avoid secondary pollution and to carry out an eco-friendly technique, an electrocoagulation process has been adopted. In this work, two sets of electrodes which act as the electrocatalysts for […]
