ABSTRACTIn this paper results of efforts to prepare stable aqueous suspensions of high surface area (> 100 m2 /gr) yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia powders are presented using a low molecular weight ammonium polyacrylic acid deflocculant. Zetapotentials, viscosities, agglomerate sizes and sedimentation volumes have been measured to find the optimum pH and deflocculant concentration. It has been found that the optimum pH-value coincides with the pH at which the polyacrylic acid is fully dissociated. Using deflocculant concentrations below the optimum value leads to a highly unstable system, while concentrations above the optimum value influence the stability in a much weaker way.

Eggshell membrane is a natural biomaterial with macropores lattice and high surface area. The bio-sorption and decolorization of organic dye eosin B was investigated based on eggshell membrane. The effect of adsorption time, pH value and temperature of eggshell membrane on the decolorization of eosin B was studied. Time for adsorption to reach equilibrium is 100 min. Optimum pH value is 2.0 for the adsorption. And the amount of dye removed by egg shell membrane was increasing as temperature ascending. At room temperature and optimum conditions, 95% of eosin B could be removed and maximum adsorption of 40.9 mg/g had been achieved. The adsorption behavior of eggshell membrane towards eosin B fit well with Freundlich isotherm.

AbstractHigh surface area ethyltrimethoxysilane (ETMS) modified silica aerogels and xerogels were synthesized by cohydrolyzing the mixtures of ETMS and tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS). The effects of ETMS content, pH value and solvent addition were investigated. The surface area, pore structure and hydrophobicity were studied using nitrogen and water sorption measurements. By ETMS modification of TMOS gels, high surface area, density and hydrophobicity were achieved. The 25 mole% ETMS-75 mole% TMOS was found to be the best composition for both aerogel and xerogel, which are hydrophobic and have surface areas of 1221 and 832 m2/g, respectively.

One-step and controlled pH hydrothermal synthesis of transition metal disulfide using double molybdenum sources to synthesize MoS2 nano-flowers at low temperature was first reported. Anhydrous molybdenum pentachloride (MoCl5) and four sulfur ammonium molybdate ((NH4) 6Mo7O24•4H2O) were the molybdenum source and CS (NH2) 2 was the sulfur source. Through hydrothermal method, MoS2 was obtained at 180 °C. The pH value of system was controlled by adjusting the molar ratio of MoCl5 and (NH4) 6Mo7O24•4H2O. The products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface area (BET) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the products were hexagonal MoS2 with a high crystalline and flower-like structure consisted of small particles. The thickness of petals is a few to tens of nanometers. By changing the molar ratio of molybdenum sources, the resultant phase from the mixed phase transited to the pure phase and the purity of synthetic MoS2 crystal increaseed.

High surface area, active catalysts containing dispersed catalytic platinum nanoparticles (dp∼11.6 nm) on a cordierite substrate were fabricated and characterized using TEM, XRD, and SEM. The catalyst activity was evaluated for methanol oxidation. Experimental results were obtained in a miniature-scale continuous flow reactor. Subsequent studies on the effect of catalyst loading and reactor flow parameters are reported. Repeat tests were performed to assess the stability of the catalyst and the extent of deactivation, if any, that occurred due to restructuring and sintering of the particles. SEM characterization studies performed on the postreaction catalysts following repeat tests at reasonably high operating temperatures (∼500°C corresponding to ∼0.3Tmfor bulk platinum) showed evidence of sintering, yet the associated loss of surface area had minimal effect on the overall catalyst activity, as determined from bulk temperature measurements. The potential application of this work for improving catalytic devices including microscale reactors is also briefly discussed.

Nowadays, one of the major issues of the PEMFC concerns the durability. Historically, carbon has been used as a catalyst support in PEMFC; nevertheless, under the environmental conditions of the cell, the carbon is oxidized, leaving the catalyst unsupported. In order to increase the stability and durability of the catalyst in the PEMFC, a novel nanostructured metallic oxide support is proposed. In this work, TiO2 was doped with Nb to obtain a material that combines chemical stability, high surface area, and an adequate electronic conductivity in order to be a successful catalyst support candidate for long-term PEMFC applications. The TiO2-Nb nanostructured catalyst support was physically and electrochemically characterized. According to the results, the TiO2-Nb offers high surface area and good particle dispersion; also, the electrochemical activity and stability of the support were evaluated under high potential conditions, where the TiO2-Nb proved to be much more stable than carbon.

The crystallinity of the framework of UiO-66 with defects is lost upon heating at 250 °C, whereas the decomposition starts at ∼450 °C depending on the conditions. Tetragonal zirconia forms as a dominant decomposition product on heating up to 600 °C.
