Highly ordered large-pore SBA-15 materials functionalized with a high loading of amino groups were synthesized for the first time by co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and [3-(methylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane (MAPTMS) using an amphiphilic block copolymer. Addition of inorganic salt to the initial mixture greatly enhanced the mesostructure ordering and stability of the mesoporous materials. The materials thus obtained showed high catalytic activity and selectivity for the synthesis of flavanones by means of the Claisen–Schmidt condensation in the absence of solvent.

Aktiviti bermangkin bagi HZSM–5 dan Ga–HZSM–5 dikaji pada suhu tindak balas 800°C dan halaju ruang jaman masa (GHSV) 7500 jam–1. Mangkin HZSM–5 dan Ga–HZSM–5 dicirikan secara XRD, NMR, Penjerapan Nitrogen dan TPD. Hasil pencirian menunjukkan aluminium keluar dari kerangka asal. HZSM–5 yang mengandungi galium adalah mangkin yang lebih baik daripada mangkin zeolit HZSM–5 bagi menghasilkan cecair hidrokarbon. Kata kunci: Ga-HZSM-5; metana; pertukaran ion berasid; cecair hidrokarbon The HZSM–5 zeolite catalyst was modified by an acidic ion exchange method to produce the Ga–HZSM–5 zeolite catalyst. The catalytic activity of HZSM–5 and Ga–HZSM–5 were studied at reaction temperature of 800°C and gas hourly space velocities (GHSV) of 7500 hr–1. HZSM–5 and Ga–HZSM–5 catalysts were characterized by XRD, NMR, Nitrogen Adsorption and TPD. The characterization results revealed that aluminium was removed from the parent framework. Gallium loaded HZSM–5 is a better catalyst than HZSM–5 zeolite catalyst to produce liquid hydrocarbons. Key words: Ga-HZSM-5; methane; acidic ion exchange; liquid hydrocarbons

ABSTRACTWe investigated fullerene based catalysts for the conversion of methane into higher hydrocarbons. Fullerene soot, CO2 activated soot, and extracted soot as well as a Norit-A carbon were examined as catalysts for methane activation. The soot was found to easily activate the C-H bond of methane, allowing methane conversion at lower temperatures (lower by 250°C) than found under purely thermal conditions. Furthermore, soot catalysis appears to produce a minimal amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Extracted soot was found to have a lower selectivity for C2 hydrocarbons than the non-extracted soot, and the CO2 activation of the soot did not appear to dramatically alter the catalytic activity.

Powder materials containing copper ions supported on ZSM-5 (Cu-Zeolite Socony Mobil-5) and SSZ-13 (Cu-Standard Oil synthesised zeolite-13), and predominantly CuO nanoparticles on amorphous SiO 2 were synthesised, characterised, wash-coated onto ceramic monoliths and, for the first time, compared as catalysts for direct conversion of methane to methanol (DCMM) at ambient pressure (1 atm) using O 2 , N 2 O and NO as oxidants. Methanol production was monitored and quantified using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Methanol is formed over all monolith samples, though the formation is considerably higher for the copper-exchanged zeolites. Hence, copper ions are the main active sites for DCMM. The minor amount of methanol produced over the Cu/SiO 2 sample, however, suggests that zeolites are not the sole substrate that can host those active copper sites but also silica. Further, we present the first ambient pressure in situ infrared spectroscopic measurements revealing the formation and consumption of surface methoxy species, which are considered to be key intermediates in the DCMM reaction.

In this work, low-Pt content nanocatalysts (≈ 5 wt. %) supported on Hollow Carbon Spheres (HCS) were synthesized by two routes: i) colloidal conventional polyol, and ii) surfactant-free Bromide Anion Exchange (BAE). The nanocatalysts were labelled as Pt/HCS-P and Pt/HCS-B for polyol and BAE, respectively. The physicochemical characterization of the nanocatalysts showed that by following both methods, a good control of chemical composition was achieved, obtaining in addition well dispersed nanoparticles of less than 3 nm TEM average particle size (d) on the HCS. Pt/HCS-B contained more Pt0 species than Pt/HCS-P, an effect of the synthesis method. In addition, the structure of the HCS remains more ordered after BAE synthesis, compared to polyol. Regarding the catalytic activity for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) in 0.5 M KOH, Pt/HCS-P and Pt/HCS-B showed a similar performance in terms of current density (j) at 0.9 V vs. RHE than the benchmark commercial 20 wt. % Pt/C. However, Pt/HCS-P and Pt/HCS-B demonstrated a 6 and 5-fold increase in mass catalytic activity compared to Pt/C, respectively. A positive effect of the high specific surface area of the HCS and its interactions with metal nanoparticles and electrolyte, which promoted the mass transfer, increased the performance of Pt/HCS-P and Pt/HCS-B. The high catalytic activity showed by Pt/HCS-B and Pt/HCS-P for the ORR, even with a low-Pt content, make them promising cathode nanocatalysts for Anion Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (AEMFC).
