Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6First-Principles Study of Dissociation Processes for the Synthesis of Fe and Co Oxide Nanoparticles(American Chemical Society, 2018) Özdamar, Burak; Bouzid, Assil; Ori, Guido; Massobrio, Carlo; Boero, MauroThermal decomposition is a practical and reliable tool to synthesize nanoparticles with monodisperse size distribution and reproducible accuracy. The nature of the precursor molecules and their interaction with the environment during the synthesis process have a direct impact on the resulting nanoparticles. Our study focuses on widely used transition-metal (Co, Fe) stearates precursors and their thermal decomposition reaction pathway. We show how the nature of the metal and the presence or absence of water molecules, directly related to the humidity conditions during the synthesis process, affect the decomposition mechanism and the resulting transition-metal oxide building blocks. This, in turn, has a direct effect on the physical and chemical properties of the produced nanoparticles and deeply influences their composition and morphology.Article Citation - WoS: 53Citation - Scopus: 60Supercritical Deposition of Pt on Sno2-Coated Al2o3 Foams: Phase Behaviour and Catalytic Performance(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Garrido, G. Incera; Patcas, F. C.; Upper, G.; Türk, M.; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Kraushaar-Czarnetzki, B.Deposition and reduction of an organometallic platinum complex from a supercritical Pt(COD)Me2/CO2 solution was carried out to produce Pt/SnO2 catalysts supported on Al2O3 foams for CO oxidation at moderate temperatures. The phase behaviour of the complex in supercritical carbon dioxide was investigated to find the optimum pressure and temperature conditions for the deposition. For the Pt(COD)Me2/CO2 mixture, the melting point decreased with increasing pressure from 378 K at 0.1 MPa to 360 K at 25.6 MPa. Additional investigations showed that the solubility of Pt(COD)Me2 in CO2 increases from 5.9 × 10-4 mol/mol at 11.2 MPa and 313 K to 3.4 × 10-3 mol/mol at 29.6 MPa and 353 K. The supercritical deposition yielded catalysts with highly dispersed platinum nanoparticles of approx. 3 nm having a narrow size distribution and thus, a superior activity towards oxidation of carbon monoxide in comparison to a catalyst prepared by the conventional aqueous impregnation of Pt.Article Citation - WoS: 211Citation - Scopus: 246A Radiotracer Study of the Adsorption Behavior of Aqueous Ba2+ Ions on Nanoparticles of Zero-Valent Iron(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Çelebi, O.; Üzüm, Çağrı; Shahwan, Talal.; Erten, Hasan NRecently, iron nanoparticles are increasingly being tested as adsorbents for various types of organic and inorganic pollutants. In this study, nanoparticles of zero-valent iron (NZVI) synthesized under atmospheric conditions were employed for the removal of Ba2+ ions in a concentration range 10-3 to 10-6 M. Throughout the study, 133Ba was used as a tracer to study the effects of time, concentration, and temperature. The obtained data was analyzed using various kinetic models and adsorption isotherms. Pseudo-second-order kinetics and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model provided the best correlation with the obtained data. Observed thermodynamic parameters showed that the process is exothermic and hence enthalpy-driven.
