Cu Catalyst (cu + catalyst)
Selected AbstractsClick chemistry in materials synthesis.JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 22 2007Abstract 1,2,3-Triazole-based polymers generated from the Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition between multivalent azides and acetylenes are effective adhesive materials for metal surfaces. The adhesive capacities of candidate mixtures of azide and alkyne components were measured by a modified peel test, using a customized adhesive tester. A particularly effective tetravalent alkyne and trivalent azide combination was identified, giving exceptional strength that matches or exceeds the best commercial formulations. The addition of Cu catalyst was found to be important for the synthesis of stronger adhesive polymers when cured at room temperature. Heating also accelerated curing rates, but the maximum adhesive strengths achieved at both room temperature and high temperature were the same, suggesting that crosslinking reaches the same advanced point in all cases. Polytriazoles also form adhesives to aluminum, but copper is bound more effectively, presumably because active Cu(I) ions may be leached from the surface to promote crosslinking and adhesion. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Here, we report on a systematic experimental study on the preparation route of carbon nanofibres (CNFs), bamboo-like carbon nanotubes (BMCNTs) with defined pocket size and mean diameter and MWCNTs. Copper serves as the catalyst. The morphology of the samples is controlled by the reaction temperature and the catalyst loading relative to the support content (MgO). A detailed analysis of the samples was achieved by electron transmission microscopy observations and Raman spectroscopy.

[source] Role of Nanosized Zirconia on the Properties of Cu/Ga2O3/ZrO2 Catalysts for Methanol SynthesisCHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2006Xin-Mei Liu Abstract The introduction of mesoporous nanosize zirconia to the catalyst for methanol synthesis dedicates the nanosized catalyst and mesoporous duplicated properties. The catalyst bears the larger surface area, larger mesoporous volume and more uniform diameter, more surface metal atoms and oxygen vacancies than the catalyst prepared with the conventional coprecipitation method. The modification of microstructure and electronic effect could result in the change of the reduced chemical state and decrease of reducuction temperature of copper, donating the higher activity and methanol selectivity to the catalyst. The results of methanol synthesis demonstrate that the Cu+ is the optimum active site. Also, the interaction between the copper and zirconia shows the synergistic effect to fulfil the methanol synthesis.

[source] Efficient oxidative coupling polymerization for synthesis of thermosetting poly(phenylene ether) copolymer with a low dielectric lossJOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 15 2008Jun Nunoshige A novel oxidative coupling polymerization using a water/toluene heterogeneous system for the synthesis of thermosetting Poly(phenylene ether) copolymer (Allyl-PPE) was developed. Allyl-PPE with a narrow molecular weight distribution and a low copper content was obtained in the presence of a Cu/TMEDA catalyst dissolved in water droplets. This method solved the problems during the synthesis of the Allyl-PPE with conventional Cu/pyridine catalysts. The resulting Allyl-PPE exhibited excellent dielectric properties (,, = 2.4, tan , = 0.002 at 10 GHz), and it will be useful for applications to high-speed and high-frequency printed circuit boards. [source] Site-selective XAFS spectroscopy tuned to surface active sites of Cu/ZnO and Cr/SiO2 catalystsJOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION, Issue 2 2001Yasuo Izumi XAFS (X-ray absorption fine structure) spectra were measured by using the fluorescence spectrometer for the emitted X-ray from sample. The chemical shifts between Cu0 and CuI and between CrIII and CrVI were evaluated. Tuning the fluorescence spectrometer to each energy, the Cu0 and CuI site-selective XANES for Cu/ZnO catalyst were measured. The first one was similar to the XANES of Cu metal and the second one was the 5 : 5 average of XANES for CuI sites + Cu metal. The population ratio of copper site of the Cu/ZnO catalyst was found to be Cu metal : Cu2O : CuI atomically dispersed on surface = 70(±23) : 22(±14) : 8(±5). Site-selective XANES for CrIII site of Cr/SiO2 catalyst was also studied. [source] Minerals as Model Compounds for Cu/ZnO Catalyst Precursors: Structural and Thermal Properties and IR Spectra of Mineral and Synthetic (Zincian) Malachite, Rosasite and Aurichalcite and a Catalyst Precursor MixtureEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2009Malte Behrens Abstract The Cu/ZnO system is a model for Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts, which are employed industrially for the synthesis of methanol. These catalysts are usually prepared from mixed basic carbonate precursors. A complex phase mixture, with constituents structurally related to the minerals rosasite andaurichalcite, is present at the industrially applied composition (Cu/Zn , 70:30). Using minerals and phase-pure synthetic samples as references, a comprehensive characterisation of such a phase mixture, including the determination of the individual compositions of the different phases, has been attempted by complementary analytical laboratory techniques (XRD, TGA, IR). The results are critically discussed in light of the complexity of the system. A thermally very stable carbonate species , well-known for mixed synthetic systems , is also detected for the mineral reference samples. Significant amounts of amorphous phases are found to be present in the synthetic zincian malachite sample but not in synthetic aurichalcite or the catalyst precursor. A simplified explanation for the shift of the characteristic 20 reflection of the malachite structure as a function of Zn incorporation based on the varying average Jahn,Teller distortion of the MO6 octahedra is proposed.
