Styrene and propylene carbonates were formed with high yields （95% and 82%, respectively）. Catalytic performance of Cr-MIL-101 was compared with other MOFs： Fe-MIL-101, Zn-MOF-5 and HKUST-1, The catalytic properties of different quaternary ammonium bromides, Cr-MIL-101 as well as PW12/Cr-MIL-101 composite material have been assessed in oxidative carboxylation of styrene in the presence of both tert-butyl hydroperoxide and H202 as oxidants at 8-100bar CO2 and 25-80 ~C with selectivity to styrene carbonate up to 44% at 57% substrate conversion.展开更多

In the present work, Au seeds （prepared by the reduction of Au3＋ solution with NaBI~ in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide （CTAB）） have been used to initiate the growth of Au nanoparticles from two different Au precursors. When an aqueous Au＋ solution prepared in the presence of CTAB micelles was treated with ascorbic acid in the presence of the gold seeds, a high yield （up to 92%） of gold nanoparticles was obtained. By varying the volume of the seed solution with a fixed amount of Au＋, we can effectively control the morphological transformation of the resulting Au nanoparticles from cubes to octahedra. When an aqueous Au3＋ solution was prepared in the presence of CTAB micelles and treated with ascorbic acid in the presence of the gold seeds, smaller yields of Au nanoparticles were obtained. A preliminary growth mechanism has been proposed based on the changes induced by varying the amount of ascorbic acid and the ratio of the concentration of Au＊ to the number of seeds.展开更多
