Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Esterification of 1-Octanol on Clinoptilolite-Supported Tio2 Catalysts(Springer Verlag, 2019) Özyağcı, Bensu; Şahin, Volkan; Karabakan, AbdulkerimIn this study, a natural type of zeolite, Clinoptilolite (CLI), is used as a support for TiO2. First, TiO2-supported heterogeneous catalysts originated from the high temperature calcination of TiCl4 groups, which were thermally immobilized on clinoptilolite, were obtained. Powder-XRD and EDX analyzes showed that the oxide form of Ti-immobilized on dealuminated clinoptilolite were formed in the anatase phase, and the zeolite structure was preserved. As seen in TGA/DTA analyzes, this catalyst could be efficient and have high stability for many reactions. Second, the esterification reaction of 1-octanol with acetic acid is used as a reference reaction for this catalyst.Article Citation - WoS: 64Citation - Scopus: 67Hierarchically Structured Metal Oxide/Silica Nanofibers by Colloid Electrospinning(American Chemical Society, 2012) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Mun˜oz-Espí, Rafael; Glasser, Gunnar; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Landfester, Katharina; Crespy, DanielWe present herein a new concept for the preparation of nanofibrous metal oxides based on the simultaneous electrospinning of metal oxide precursors and silica nanoparticles. Precursor fibers are prepared by electrospinning silica nanoparticles (20 nm in diameter) dispersed in an aqueous solution of poly(acrylic acid) and metal salts. Upon calcination in air, the poly(acrylic acid) matrix is removed, the silica nanoparticles are cemented, and nanocrystalline metal oxide particles of 4-14 nm are nucleated at the surface of the silica nanoparticles. The obtained continuous silica fibers act as a structural framework for metal oxide nanoparticles and show improved mechanical integrity compared to the neat metal oxide fibers. The hierarchically nanostructured materials are promising for catalysis applications, as demonstrated by the successful degradation of a model dye in the presence of the fibers.
