Palladium Supported on Porous Chitosan-Graphene Oxide Aerogels as Highly Efficient Catalysts for Hydrogen Generation from Formate
[EN] Adsorption of Pd(NH3)(4)(2+) in preformed chitosan-graphene oxide (CS-GO) beads and their subsequent reduction with NaBH4 afford well-dispersed, high dispersion (similar to 21%) of uniformly sized Pd nanoparticles (similar to 1.7 nm). The resulting Pd/CS-GO exhibits interesting catalytic activity for hydrogen generation by ammonium formate decomposition. The optimal GO proportion of 7 wt% allows reaching, at 60 degrees C, a turnover frequency above 2200 h(-1)-being outstanding among the highest values reported for this process to date. Interestingly, no formation of CO or CH4 was detected. The catalyst did not leach, although it underwent gradual deactivation, probably caused by the increase in the Pd average size that became over 3 nm after three uses. Our results are relevant in the context of efficient on-board hydrogen generation from liquid organic hydrogen carriers in transportation.This research was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Grant RTI2018-098237-B-C21 and Severo Ochoa).

Pd embedded in chitosan microspheres as tunable soft-materials for Sonogashira cross-coupling in water-ethanol mixture
Easy shaping of chitosan (CS) as porous self-standing nanofibrillar microspheres allows their use as a palladium carrier. Amino-groups on CS enable the modulation of Pd coordination, giving rise to three different support-catalyst interactions: weakly-coordinated Pd-CS in native CS, incarcerated Pd-CS-Glu in cross-linked CS and strongly-ligated Pd-CS-SH, obtained by the introduction of thiol arms in CS. These catalysts efficiently promote Sonogashira cross-coupling of a large library of functional substrates under mild and sustainable conditions (water-ethanol as solvent at 65 degrees C) and stand as recyclable, metal-scavenging catalytic systems.Frindy, S.; Primo Arnau, AM.; Lahcini, M.; Bousmina, M.; GarcĂa GĂłmez, H.; El Kadib, A.

Insightful understanding of the role of clay topology on the stability of biomimetic hybrid chitosan-clay thin films and CO2-dried porous aerogel microspheres
[EN] Three natural clay-based microstructures, namely layered montmorillonite (MMT), nanotubular halloysite (HNT) and micro-fibrillar sepiolite (SP) were used for the synthesis of hybrid chitosan-clay thin films and porous aerogel microspheres. At a first glance, a decrease in the viscosity of the three gel forming solutions was noticed as a result of breaking the mutual polymeric chains interaction by the clay microstructure. Upon casting, chitosan-clay films displayed enhanced hydrophilicity in the order CS < CS-MMT < CS-HNT < CS-SP. Irrespective to the clay microstructure, an improvement in the mechanical properties of the chitosan-clay films has been substantiated with CS-SP reaching the highest value at 5% clay loading. While clay addition provides a way to resist the shrinkage occurring for native chitosan, the enhanced hydrophilicity associated to the water content affects the efficacy of the CO2 super-critical drying as the most hydrophilic CS-SP microspheres face the highest shrinkage, resulting in a lowest specific surface area compared to CS-HNT and CS-MMT. Chitosan-clay exhibits enhanced thermal properties with the degradation delayed in the order CS < CS-MMT < CS-HNT < CS-SP. Under acidic environment, a longevity has been substantiated for chitosan-clay compared to native chitosan, evidencing the beneficial protective effect of the clay particulates for the biopolymer. However, under hydrothermal treatment, the presence of clay was found to be detrimental to the material stability as a significant shrinkage occurs in hybrid CS-clay microspheres, which is attributed again to their increased hydrophilicity compared to the native polymeric microspheres. In this framework, a peculiar behavior was observed for CS-MMT, with the microspheres standing both against contraction during CO2 gel drying and under hydrothermal conditions. The knowledge gained from this rational design will constitute a guideline toward the preparation of ultra-stable, practically-optimized food-packaging films and commercially scalable porous bio-based adsorbents.S.

Remarkable Activity of 002 Facet of Ruthenium Nanoparticles Grown on Graphene Films on the Photocatalytic CO2 Methanation
[EN] In the context of diminishing atmospheric CO2 emissions, there is an urgent need to develop processes that can be carried out at a scale commensurate with appropriate CO2 volumes. One possible reaction is the transformation of CO2 to methane (Sabatier reaction). Due to its chemical stability, catalytic CO2 hydrogenation to methane is carried out at temperatures of 450 degrees C or higher and pressures above 5 bars, thus, requiring a significant energy input. One alternative possibility to conventional thermal catalysis is the use of solar light as the primary energy, performing the photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation. In this broad context, the present study shows the photocatalytic activity of nanometric films of oriented Ru nanoparticles (NPs) strongly grafted on defective graphene. These graphene films (thinner than 20 nm) containing Ru NPs nanoplatelets (less than 2 nanomol(Ru)/cm(2)) are among the most active photocatalysts ever prepared for CO2 hydrogenation and operate through photoinduced charge separationSupport by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (Severo Ochoa and RTI2018-098237-B-C21) and Generalitat Valenciana (Prometeo 2017/083) was acknowledged.

Organophosphonate bridged anatase mesocrystals: low temperature crystallization, thermal growth and hydrogen photo-evolution
The sol-gel co-condensation of organo-phosphonates to titanium alkoxides enables access to novel organic-inorganic hybrids based on phosphonate-bridged titanium dioxide. In this contribution, we bring new perspectives to the long established sol-gel mineralization of titanium alkoxide species, by harnessing the virtues of the well-designed phosphonate-terminated phosphorus dendrimers as reactive amphiphilic nanoreactor, confined medium and cross-linked template to generate discrete crystalline anatase nanoparticles at low temperature (T = 60 degrees C). An accurate investigation on several parameters (dendrimer generation, dendrimer-to-titanium alkoxide ratio, precursor reactivity, temperature, solvent nature, salt effect) allows a correlation between the network condensation, the opening porous framework and the crystalline phase formation. The evolution of the dendrimer skeleton upon heat treatment has been deeply monitored by means of P-31 NMR, XPS and Raman spectroscopy. Increasing the heteroatom content within a titania network provides the driving force for enhancing their photocatalytic water splitting ability for hydrogen production.Brahmi, Y.; Katir, N.; Macia Agullo, JA.; Primo Arnau, AM.; Bousmina, M.; Majoral, J.; GarcĂa GĂłmez, H....

Ce travail dĂ©crit la mĂ©tallation (Si, Ge) des esters mĂ©thyliques d'acides gras (EMAG) et de l'huile brute. Dans un premier temps, l'hydromĂ©tallation des EMAG a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©veloppĂ©e. La sĂ©quence d'initiation radicalaire conduit Ă des produits mĂ©tallĂ©s avec une meilleure sĂ©lectivitĂ©. La silylation des EMAG en a de la fonction ester a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©e par des silyltriflates ou Ă partir d'Ă©nolates d'EMAG. L'optimisation des conditions opĂ©ratoires a conduit Ă l'obtention exclusive des produits C-silylĂ©s. Le quatriĂšme chapitre a portĂ© sur l'obtention de biosilicones par polycondensation des silylEMAG. La modĂ©lisation molĂ©culaire a rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© "le masquage" parfait des siloxanes par des EMAG montrant l'intĂ©rĂȘt que peuvent prĂ©senter de tels polymĂšres en particulier concernant l'accroissement de leur biocompatibilitĂ©. Dans le dernier chapitre a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©veloppĂ© une application intĂ©ressante des prĂ©curseurs silylĂ©s : le pouvoir d'auto-organisation de ces unitĂ©s molĂ©culaires a permis d'accĂ©der Ă des nanomatĂ©riaux de silice.TOULOUSE3-BU Sciences (315552104) / SudocSudocFranceF
