Simultaneous monitoring of acidity and intercalation for layered transition metal oxides in liquid media

Abstract

Layered transition metal oxides have a potential as catalysts for biomass conversions or as adsorbents. A better understanding of their properties is thus necessary, notably in liquid phase, where these materials have the specificity to intercalate molecules within their interlayers. To discriminate between potential catalysts or adsorbents, it is desirable to study the surface properties in the conditions of intercalation. The intercalation behaviour and acidity of four different acidic layered materials: pure tungstate phases H2W2O7, H2WO4 and mixed oxides HNbWO6 and HNbMoO6 have thus been investigated directly in liquid phase. Besides Powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy provided valuable informations first during the preliminary protonation step and second by monitoring both the intercalation of liquid organic bases and the accessible acidity. N-alkylamines such as butylamine and octylamine were found unsuitable to discriminate the layered solids while pyridine was more selective. Pyridine did not intercalate in H2W2O7, highlighting also the lower acidity of this solid, but gave rise to new Raman features for H2WO4, HNbMoO6 and HNbWO6. Lewis and Brønsted acid sites could be discriminated from the perturbation of the...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
