Journal ArticleDOI
Facile synthesis of efficient and selective Ti-containing mesoporous silica catalysts for toluene oxidation
Sreenivasulu Peta,Tao Zhang,Viktor Dubovoy,Katherine Koh,Maocong Hu,Xianqin Wang,Tewodros Asefa +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple physical mixing of tetraethyl orthosilicate and various titanium alkoxide (and also copper(II) chloride) precursors was used to synthesize titanium(IV) n-butoxide for toluene oxidation with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as oxidant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hollow Mesoporous Carbon Microparticles and Micromotors with Single Holes Templated by Colloidal Silica-Assisted Gas Bubbles
TL;DR: A simple, new synthetic method that produces hollow, mesoporous carbon microparticles, each with a single hole on its surface, is reported, and the potential application of the particles as self-propelled micromotors is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amine/Hydrido Bifunctional Nanoporous Silica with Small Metal Nanoparticles Made Onsite: Efficient Dehydrogenation Catalyst.
Yang Zhu,Takahiro Nakanishi,Kazuyoshi Kanamori,Kazuki Nakanishi,Shun Ichii,Kohji Iwaida,Yu Masui,Toshiyuki Kamei,Toyoshi Shimada,Akihito Kumamoto,Yumi H. Ikuhara,Mina Jeon,George Hasegawa,Masamoto Tafu,Chang Won Yoon,Chang Won Yoon,Tewodros Asefa +16 more
TL;DR: A new synthetic route involving the surface functionalization of nanoporous silica with a rationally designed and synthesized dihydrosilane (3-aminopropylmethylsilane) that leads to the introduction of catalytically active grafted organoamine as well as single metal atoms and ultrasmall Pd or Ag-doped Pd nanoparticles via on-site reduction of metal ions is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bicinchoninic acid-based colorimetric chemosensor for detection of low concentrations of cyanide
Archana A. Biradar,Ankush V. Biradar,Ankush V. Biradar,Tiffany Sun,Yung Chan,Xiaoxi Huang,Tewodros Asefa +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new use for BCA is presented, where a highly sensitive method for detection of cyanide ions in solutions by using Cu 2+ -BCA complex as the chemosensing agent is demonstrated.
