Nanocatalysts for biodiesel production

Biofuels are a class of clean fuels and promising for energy demand. Biodiesel is relatively costly, which limits the commercialization of the product. The waste edible oil and animal fats are raw materials for biodiesel production. This paper focuses on the catalytic production of biofuels and reviews the application of different catalysts to produce biodiesel from waste oils by using esterification and transesterification reactions. The reaction in the presence of nanocatalysts is carried out under mild operating conditions. Nowadays, magnetic nanocatalysts are preferred to bulk catalysts due to the absence of mass transfer resistance and fast deactivation as well as high recovery rate during the separation. Functionalized magnetic nanocatalysts are more attractive for biodiesel production. Further studies should do to develop highly active and selective nanocatalysts for industrial scale.     

Multiple Quantum Transitions Induced by Irradiating Single Quantum Coherence in a Heteronuclear Spin System

In a heteronuclear spin system, with initially prepared single quantum (SQ) coherence of X-spin, the irradiation of the proton spins will induce all the possible transitions including those SQs and multiple quanta (MQs) available in the system to be studied. The MQs appear in a rather weak irradiation while a strong irradiation results in a complete decoupling situation. Theoretical analysis is made to explain this phenomenon and is agreed qualitatively with experiments in the CH₂ group. This phenomenon of MQ induction may happen in a decoupling experiment, when the effective irradiation strength is rather weak and it may also provide a convenient approach to create and then to manipulate MQ coherences in heteronuclear spin systems.     

In situ XRD Studies on Heat-treated PtRu/C Nanocatalysts

Extremely small PtRu/C nanocatalysts were prepared via a carbonyl route. A thorough in situ reduction X-ray structural characterization of these catalysts was performed. After synthesis and storage under ambient conditions, the diffraction patterns of PtRu/C catalysts were seriously modified, indicating the surface oxide formation. In the reduced state, the particle size is around 2 nm. The observed relative fluctuations of lattice constants are 3%, which is far too large to be explained by a compositional fluctuation. Their origin is attributed to strong but isotropic strains and is related to the alloy formation. The annealing experiments show all the catalysts present an exceptional thermal stability when annealed in inert ambient, especially that of the Pt₁Ru₁/C catalyst. Besides, it is interesting to note that there is no thermal expansion evidence from the patterns.     

Controlling Photons in a Box and Exploring the Quantum to Classical Boundary (Nobel Lecture)

Microwave photons trapped in a superconducting cavity constitute an ideal system to realize some of the thought experiments imagined by the founding fathers of quantum physics. The interaction of these trapped photons with Rydberg atoms crossing the cavity illustrates fundamental aspects of measurement theory. The experiments performed with this “photon box” at Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) belong to the domain of quantum optics called “Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics”. We have realized the non‐destructive counting of photons, the recording of field quantum jumps, the preparation and reconstruction of “Schrödinger cat” states of radiation and the study of their decoherence, which provides a striking illustration of the transition from the quantum to the classical world. These experiments have also led to the demonstration of basic steps in quantum information processing, including the deterministic entanglement of atoms and the realization of quantum gates using atoms and photons as quantum bits. This lecture starts by an introduction stressing the connection between the ENS photon box and the ion trap experiments of David Wineland, whose accompanying lecture recalls his own contribution to the field of single particle control. I give then a personal account of the early days of Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics before describing the main experiments performed at ENS during the last twenty years and concluding by a discussion comparing our work to other researches dealing with the control of single quantum particles.     

Carbon-Based Material-Supported Palladium Nanocatalysts in Coupling Reactions: Discussion on their Stability and Heterogeneity

Scientific interest in carbon-based materials (CBMs) has grown dramatically over the past few decades. Due to a variety of atomic orbital hybrid forms (sp, sp² and sp³ hybridization), carbon can form a variety of materials with diverse structures and characteristics. CBMs used as efficient catalyst supports show extensive promise in organic reactions, which is attributed to their structural similarity with organics, large specific surface area, chemical stability, and photocatalytic properties. This review presents the synthesis of CBM-supported palladium nanocatalysts based on impregnation, template methods, etc. The CBMs include activated carbon (AC), graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and their functionalized products, as supports for improving the activity and recyclability of simple Pd nanocatalysts. After surveying the literature where these catalysts have been utilized for carbon–carbon coupling reactions, there is a particular emphasis on Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira reactions. The catalytic mechanism of these Pd nanocatalysts (surface heterogeneous catalysis or homogeneous catalysis caused by Pd leaching) is discussed in detail, especially the effect of Pd leaching on the stability of the catalyst.     

Quantum chemical study of C—H bond activation in methane molecule by AuIII aqua chloride complexes

The mechanism of the reactions of methane with the gold(III) complexes [AuCl_x(H₂O)_{4− x} ]^3−x (x = 2, 3, or 4) was studied by the DFT/PBE method with the SBK basis set. High activation barriers obtained for the reactions of [AuCl₄]⁻ and [Au(H₂O)Cl₃] with methane suggest these reactions cannot proceed under mild conditions. The reaction of the [Au(H₂O)₂Cl₂]⁺ complex with methane has a rather low energy barrier and proceeds through the formation of an intermediate complex. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 191–201, February, 2006.     

Electrodynamics of Noble Metal Nanoparticles and Nanoparticle Clusters

In this paper we examine the electrodynamics of silver nanoparticles and of clusters of nanoparticles, with an emphasis on extinction spectra and of electric fields near the particle surfaces that are important in determining surface-enhanced Raman (SER) intensities. The particles and clusters are chosen to be representative of what has been studied in recent work on colloids and with lithographically prepared particles. These include spheres, spheroids, truncated tetrahedrons, and clusters of two or three of these particles, with sizes that are too large to be described with simple electrostatic approximations but small compared to the wavelength of light. The electrodynamics calculations are mostly based on the discrete dipole approximation (DDA), which is a coupled-finite element approach which produces exact or nearly exact results for particles of arbitrary size and shape if fully converged. Mie theory results are used to study the validity of the DDA for spherical particles, and we also study the validity of the modified long wavelength approximation (MLWA), which is based on perturbative corrections to the electrostatic limit, and of the single dipole per particle approximation (SDA). The results show how the dipole plasmon resonance properties and the electric field contours around the particle vary with particle shape and size for isolated particles. For clusters of particles, we study the effect of interparticle spacing on plasmon resonance characteristics. We also show that the quadrupole resonance is much less sensitive to particle shape and interparticle interactions than the dipole plasmon resonance. These results provide benchmarks that will be used in future comparisons with experiment.     

Synthesis of pyrazolopyrimidines in mild conditions by gold nanoparticles supported on magnetic ionic gelation in aqueous solution

In this study, novel magnetic nanoparticle (FeNi₃) based gold NPs with high surface area and easy accessibility of active sites were successfully developed by a facile approach. FeNi₃ was functionalized with ionic gelation (IG) groups acting as robust anchors so that the gold NPs were well dispersed on the FeNi₃ without aggregation. Spirulina coating was carried out via a wet impregnation technique based on IG using tripolyphosphate as a cross-linking agent. Because of the amplification effect of IG, high loading capacities were achieved for the nanocatalysts. Furthermore, FeNi₃/IG/Au showed superparamagnetic properties, contributing to the easy recovery of the nanocatalysts by magnetic separation. FeNi₃/IG/Au was developed for the synthesis of pyrazolopyrimidines in mild conditions. The FeNi₃/IG/Au magnetic NPs were thoroughly characterized using transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The FeNi₃/IG/Au nanocatalyst showed high robustness and stability in reaction for up to five cycles without significant loss of activity, probably due to the high loading of IG in the catalyst.
