Microwave-Assisted Synthesis Of Graphene Supported Hexagonal Magnetite For Applications In Catalysis, Hany A. Elazab, M. A. Radwan, M. A. Sadek Oct 2019

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis Of Graphene Supported Hexagonal Magnetite For Applications In Catalysis, Hany A. Elazab, M. A. Radwan, M. A. Sadek

Chemical Engineering

Herein, we report a rapid one-step synthetic method using microwave irradiation for growing magnetite nanocrystals on reduced graphene oxide sheets. This developed strategy allows decorating graphene sheets with magnetite nanocrystals of well-defined morphology as cubes using microwave-driven reduction of iron chloride using hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent. The size and shape control was achieved via fine-tuning of the reaction conditions. The obtained results demonstrate the applicability of this microwave synthetic approach to control the morphology of the magnetite nanocrystals anchored on graphene sheets. Moreover, graphene sheets will enhance the nucleation and growth of magnetite nanoplates anchored on graphene. This …

Laser Vaporization And Controlled Condensation (Lvcc): Graphene Supported Pd/Fe3o4 Nanoparticles As An Efficient Magnetic Catalyst For Suzuki Cross – Coupling., Hany A. Elazab Dr

Chemical Engineering

A reproducible, reliable, and highly efficient synthetic approach was implemented for synthesis of palladium nanoparticles supported on a binary composite of Fe3O4 and graphene (Pd-Fe3O4/G). This unique catalyst was tested for being used as a highly efficient active catalyst for being used in Suzuki cross – coupling reactions. It was found that this graphene supported Pd/Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Pd-Fe3O4/G) has a remarkable catalytic activity towards Suzuki coupling reactions. This catalyst could be recycled for up to three times with high catalytic activity. The catalyst was prepared using LVCC synthetic approach; the prepared catalyst was found to be highly magnetic which enabled …

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis Of Pd Nanoparticles Supported On Fe3o4, Co3o4, And Ni(Oh)2 Nanoplates And Catalysis Application For Co Oxidation, Hany A. Elazab Nov 2014

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis Of Pd Nanoparticles Supported On Fe3o4, Co3o4, And Ni(Oh)2 Nanoplates And Catalysis Application For Co Oxidation, Hany A. Elazab

Chemical Engineering

In this paper, we report a simple, versatile, and rapid method for the synthesis of Pd nanoparticle catalysts supported on Fe3O4, Co3 O4, and Ni(OH)2 nanoplates via microwave irradiation. The important advantage of microwave dielectric heating over convective heating is that the reactants can be added at room temperature (or slightly higher temperatures) without the need for high-temperature injection. Furthermore, the method can be used to synthesize metal nanoparticle catalysts supported on metal oxide nanoparticles in one step. We also demonstrate that the catalyst-support interaction plays an important role in the low temperature oxidation of CO. The current results reveal …
