PROMETHEUS catalyst, a copper-based polymetallic nano-catalyst has been proven to be suitable for automotive emission control applications. This novel catalyst consists of copper, palladium and rhodium nanoparticles as active phases, impregnated on an inorganic oxide substrate, CeO2/ZrO2 (75%, 25%). The aim of PROMETHEUS catalyst’s development is the substitution of a significant amount (85%) of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) with copper nanoparticles while, at the same time, presenting high catalytic efficiency with respect to the commercial catalysts. In this work, an extensive investigation of the catalytic activity of full scale PROMETHEUS fresh and aged catalyst deposited on ceramic cordierites is presented and discussed. The catalytic activity was tested on an Synthetic Gas Bench (SGB) towards the oxidation of CO and CH4 and the reduction of NO. The loading of the washcoat was 2 wt% (metal content) on Cu, Pd, Rh with the corresponding metal ratio at 21:7:1. The concentration of the full-scale monolithic catalysts to be 0.032% total PGM loading for meeting Euro III standard and 0.089% for meeting Euro IV to Euro VIb standards. The catalytic activity of all catalysts was tested both in rich-burn (λ = 0.99) and lean-burn conditions (λ = 1.03).

AbstractA one-pot three component reaction of benzaldehydes, 1H-tetrazole-5-amine, and 3-cyanoacetyl indole in the presence of a new hexamethylenetetramine-based ionic liquid/MIL-101(Cr) metal–organic framework as a recyclable catalyst was explored. This novel catalyst, which was fully characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, FT-IR, TGA, BET, and TEM exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for the preparation of a range of pharmaceutically important tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carbonitriles with good to excellent yields in short reaction time.

Titanium dioxide coatings were deposited by utilizing atmospheric plasma-spraying system. The agglomerated P25/20 nano-powder and different spraying parameters (e.g., Argon flow rate and spray distance) were used to determine their influences on the microstructure, crystalline structure, photo-absorption, and photo-catalytic performance of the coatings. The microstructure and phases of as-sprayed TiO 2 coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscope SEM and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Surface characteristics were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared. Photo-catalytic efficiency of the elaborated samples was also determined in an environmental test chamber set-up and evaluated from the conversion rate of ethanol. The photo-absorption was determined by UV–Vis spectrophotometer. The as-sprayed TiO2 coating was photo-catalytically reactive for the degradation of ethanol. The photo-catalytic activity was influenced by spray conditions. It is found that the photo-catalytic activity is significantly influenced by anatase content, surface area, and surface state. The results showed that the argon flow rate has an influence on the microstructure, anatase content, and photo-catalytic activity of the TiO 2 coatings.

Direct Aldol Reaction

Background: While proline can catalyze the asymmetric direct aldol reactions, its catalytic activity and catalyst turnover are both low. To improve the catalytic efficiency, many prolinebased organocatalysts have been developed. In this regard, prolinamide-based bifunctional catalysts have been demonstrated by us and others to be highly efficient catalysts for the direct aldol reactions. Results: Using the β-acetamido- and β-tosylamidoprolinamide catalysts, the highly enantio- and diastereoselective direct aldol reactions between enolizable ketones and aldehydes were achieved (up to >99% ee, 98:2 dr). A low catalyst loading of only 2-5 mol % of the β-tosylamidoprolinamide catalyst was needed to obtain the desired aldol products in good to high yields and high stereoselectivities. Methods: By carefully adjusting the hydrogen bonding ability of the remote β-amide hydrogen of the 1,2-diamine-based prolinamide bifunctional catalysts, the catalytic activity and the asymmetric induction of these catalysts were significantly improved for the direct aldol reaction between aldehydes and enolizable ketones. Conclusion: Some highly efficient 1,2-diamine-based bifunctional prolinamide catalysts have been developed through probing the remote β-amide hydrogen for its hydrogen bonding capability. These catalysts are easy to synthesize and high enantioselectivities may be achieved at very low catalyst loadings.
