An optimum route to synthesize Al2O3-based composite powders with a homogeneous dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was investigated. CNT/Metal/Al2O3 nanocomposite powders were fabricated by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) over a metal catalyst homogeneously dispersed into an Al2O3 matrix by the means of chemical and selective reduction processes. The nanocomposite powders were densified by Pulse Electric Current Sintering (PECS). The experimental results show that the CNT/Metal/Al2O3 nanocomposites have unique electrical properties.

CNTs/metal/Al2O3 nanocomposite powders were fabricated by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of C2H2 gas over metal/Al2O3 nanocomposite catalysts prepared by the selective reduction of oxide/Al2O3 powders. The yield and diameter of CNTs significantly depended on the kind of metal catalyst and catalyst size. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for phase identification. The morphology of CNTs was determined using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). FT-Raman spectroscopy revealed that the CNTs have single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes structure. The relationship between the CNT yield/diameter and the characteristics of the composite catalyst was systematically investigated.

Heterogeneous catalysts, used in industry for the production of fuels and chemicals, are microporous solids characterized by a high internal surface area. The catalyticly active sites may occur at the surface of the bulk solid or of small crystallites deposited on a porous support. An example of the former case would be a zeolite, and of the latter, a supported metal catalyst. Since the activity and selectivity of a catalyst are known to be a function of surface composition and structure, it is highly desirable to characterize catalyst surfaces with atomic scale resolution. Where the active phase is dispersed on a support, it is also important to know the dispersion of the deposited phase, as well as its structural and compositional uniformity, the latter characteristics being particularly important in the case of multicomponent catalysts. Knowledge of the pore size and shape is also important, since these can influence the transport of reactants and products through a catalyst and the dynamics of catalyst deactivation.

The commercial introduction of Pt-Re supported catalysts to replace Pt alone on Al2O3 has brought improvements to naphtha reforming. The bimetallic catalyst can be operated continuously under conditions which lead to deactivation of the single metal catalyst by coke formation. Much disagreement still exists as to the exact nature of the bimetallic catalyst at a microscopic level and how it functions in the process so successfully. The overall purpose of this study was to develop the materials characterization tools necessary to study supported catalysts. Specifically with the Pt-Re:Al2O3 catalyst, we sought to elucidate the elemental distribution on the catalyst.

AbstractA carbon nanotube triode using Helicon Plasma-enhanced CVD with electroplated NiCo catalyst has been successfully fabricated. Isolated NiCo based metal catalyst was deposited at the bottom of the cathode wells by electroplating methods to control the density of carbon nanotubes and also reduce the activation energy of its growth. Helicon Plasma-enhanced CVD (HPECVD) has been used to deposit nanotubes at 400°C. Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were then grown selectively on the electroplated Ni catalyst. Field emission measurements were performed with a triode structure. At a cathode to anode gap of 1.1mm, the turn on voltage for the gate was 170V.

Dual amine/pi Lewis acid catalyst systems have been reported for intramolecular direct additions of aldehydes/ketones to unactivated alkynes and occasionally alkenes, but related intermolecular reactions are rare and not presently of significant synthetic utility, likely due to undesired coordination of enamine intermediates to the metal catalyst. We reasoned that bulky metal ligands and bulky amine catalysts could minimize catalyst poisoning and could facilitate certain examples of direct intermolecular additions of aldehyde/ketones to alkenes/alkynes. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were performed that suggested that PyBOX-Pt(II) catalysts for alkene/alkyne activation could be combined with MacMillan’s imidazolidinone organocatalyst for aldehyde/ketone activation to facilitate desirable C-C bond formations, and certain reactions were calculated to be more exergonic than catalyst poisoning pathways. As calculated, preformed enamines generated from the MacMillan imidazolidinone did not displace ethylene from a biscationic (<i>t</i>-Bu)PyBOX-Pt<sup>2+</sup>complex, but neither were the desired C-C bond formations observed under several different conditions.

<p>Aryl–aryl cross-coupling constitutes one of the most widely used procedures for the synthesis of high-value materials, ranging from pharmaceuticals to organic electronics and conducting polymers. The assembly of (hetero)biaryl scaffolds generally requires multiple steps; coupling partners must be functionalized before the key bond-forming event is considered. Thus, the development of selective C–H arylation processes in arenes, that side-step the need for prefunctionalized partners, is crucial for streamlining the construction of these key architectures. Here we report an expedient, one-pot assembly of (hetero)biaryl motifs using photocatalysis and two non-prefunctionalized arene partners. The approach is underpinned by the activation of a C–H bond in an arene coupling partner using the interrupted Pummerer reaction. A unique pairing of the organic photoredox catalyst and the intermediate dibenzothiophenium salts enables highly selective reduction in the presence of sensitive functionalities. The utility of the metal-free, one-pot strategy is exemplified by the synthesis of a bioactive natural product and the modification of complex molecules of societal importance.</p>
