    In situ grown palladium nanoparticles on polyester fabric as easy-separable and recyclable catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura reaction
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2021) Xu, Tiefeng; Lu, Panting; Wohlrab, Sebastian; Chen, Wenxing; Springer, Armin; Wu, Xiao-Feng; Lu, Wangyang
    Palladium nanoparticles supported on low-melting polyester (Pd/LMPET) fabric were prepared through a microwave irradiation assisted method. In this way, in situ growth of Pd nanoparticles onto an easy to handle material was initiated and proceeded. The results of the characterization revealed that the palladium nanoparticles were well-dispersed on the surfaces of the polyester fibers. The Pd/LMPET fabrics were then employed in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. They exhibited excellent catalytic activity in ethanol/water under air atmosphere at 50 °C. Importantly, the Pd/LMPET fabrics could be separated from reaction mixture conveniently and they can still maintain good activity after 8 cycles without Pd leaching. © 2021 The Authors

    Verification of impurity-related photocatalytic activity of insulating oxide supports
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2021) Kortewille, Bianca; Springer, Armin; Strunk, Jennifer
    Photocatalysts composed of vanadium oxide species supported on commercial MgO and ZrO2 are investigated in selective methanol oxidation. Both support oxides are insulators, so the vanadium oxide species are expected as sole active component in photocatalysis. However, the pure supports showed considerable activity: Bare MgO was more active than MgO-supported vanadia catalysts, and ZrO2 showed intermediate activity. By various characterization methods, the presence of TiO2 (anatase) in the MgO support, and the presence of Zn, possibly as ZnO, in ZrO2 is demonstrated. The present study highlights that photocatalysts containing commercial supports must be carefully checked for impurity-related photocatalytic performance. © 2021 The Authors
