Abstract The adsorption of CO2 on Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-d (BSCF) perovskite oxides in the absence and presence of O2 and H2O at various temperatures was investigated by temperature programmed desorption (TPD). XRD was used to characterize the phase of the samples before and after adsorption. No CO2 desorption peak was observed when CO2 was adsorbed on BSCF at room temperature. A CO2 desorpti…
Abstract. A soft-phase intercalating process to synthesize mesostructured plasticine by using amphiphilic triblock copolymer F127 as a structure-directing agent, reverse triblock copolymer 25R4 as an intercalating soft matter, and soluble phenolic resin as a carbon source is demonstrated. The ‘‘plasticine” has interlayer organic–organic hybrid structure, which is emplastic, sticky, …
Application of functionalized coordination polymers as self-supported catalysts in heterogeneous catalytic reactions is an emerging area of research and has met with some notable success. The molecular building units of the catalysts are tailorable in nature, allowing for systematic engineering of the catalytic performance. The catalysts have demonstrated high efficiency and/or excellent select…
Transesterification of cottonseed oil with methanol to biodiesel was investigated in various Brønsted acidic ionic liquids with an alkane sulfonic acid group. The properties, structures, and acidities of the ionic liquids were experimentally characterized and theoretically analyzed. The Brønsted acidity-activity correlation for the ionic liquids was studied. Among all these ionic liquids, 1-…
