Abstract. The oxidative polymerization of aniline was investigated using H2O2 as an oxidant and metallic gold as a catalyst. In the form of colloidal nanoparticles, gold produces the conductive polyaniline only in a low yield, whereas when supported on carbon and titania, it improves the polymerisation reaction. For an Au/TiO2 catalyst, a synergistic effect between the metal and the support…
Abstract. The composites with nanosized gold loaded in nanoporous ceria were prepared on a large scale by a facial and environment-benign sol–gel process. These materials were characterized by XRD, ICP, BET, UV–vis absorption, XPS, HRTEM and EDX. The main factors such as size and surface state of the Au and defect in the ceria could be adjusted by acid treatment of the composites in asc…
Endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays an important role in the acceleration of inflammatory reaction of hepatitis as the second attack. Compounds that can prevent inflammation by targeting LPS have potential therapeutic clinical application. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has potent hepatocyte-protective effect and mild anti-hepatitis virus function. Here, we investigated whether EGCG att…
