Application of Ni(II)-alumina Composites for Electrocatalytic Reduction of 4-nitrophenol
Nickel-alumina composites with various content of nickel were synthetized by sol-gel method. The characterization of samples was performed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using the Mott-Schottky analysis. Glassy carbon electrode modified by synthesized composites was investigated for reduction of 4-nitrophenol. Modification of glassy carbon electrode with composite sample led to the strong apparent electrocatalysis. Principal component analysis was used to establish correlation between structural, textural and electrochemical data of investigated composites

Elektrohemijska oksidacija 2,4,6-trihlorfenola na nano-cirkonijum - oksidnoj matrici dopiranoj gvožđem
Solvothermaly synthesized zirconium oxide nanopowders, pure and
doped with various amounts of iron ions (1–20 %), were used as modifiers of
glassy carbon electrodes. The modified electrodes were tested in the reaction of
electrochemical oxidation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) in order to inves tigate the influence of doping on electrochemical performance of zirconia mat rix. The techniques of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy were employed. Cyclic voltammetry showed that electrooxid ation of TCP proceeded through the oxidation of hydroxyl group. Possible
pathway included the formation of quinones and the formation of polyphenol
film on the electrode surface, leading to the electrode fouling. Iron doping
enhanced the activity of zirconia matrix towards TCP electrooxidation. Elec trochemical impedance spectroscopy showed the importance of iron content in
zirconia matrix for the preferable pathway of TCP electrooxidation. The quin one formation pathway was favoured by low iron doped zirconia (doped with
1% of iron), while polyphenol film formation on the electrode surface was
more pronounced at samples with higher iron ion content (for doping with 10
and 20 % of iron). The sample with 5 % of added iron ions, showed intermedНанопрахови цирконијум-оксида, чисти и допирани различитим количинама јона гвожђа синтетисани су солвотермалном методом. Добијени прахови су коришћени као модификатори електродa од стакластог угљеника. Модификоване електроде су тести- ране у реакцији електрохемијске оксидације 2,4,6-трихлорфенола (TCP), како би се испитао утицај допанта на перформансе цирконијум-оксидне матрице. За испитивање су коришћене технике цикличне волтаметрије и електрохемијске импедансне спектро- скопије. Резултати цикличне волтаметрије су показали да се електрооксидација TCP одиграва преко оксидације хидроксилне групе. Могуће даље реакционе путање су укљу- чивале формирање хинона и настајање полифенолног филма на површини електроде који доводи до пасивације електроде. Допирање јонима гвожђа је повећало активност цирконијум-оксидне матрице за електрооксидацију TCP. Резултати електрохемијске импедансне спектроскопије су указали на утицај количине јона гвожђа у цирконијум- -оксидној матрици на реакциони механизам TCP електроосидације. Реакциона путања која укључује формирање хинона је фаворизована на цирконијум-оксидним електро- дама са ниским садржајем јона гвожђа (допираног са 1 % јона гвожђа), док је форми- рање полифенолног филма дошло до изражаја на узорцима са већим садржајем јона гвожђа (допираних са 10 и 20 % јона гвожђа). Узорак цирконијум-оксида, допиран са 5 % јона гвожђа, има прелазна својства, јер долази до формирања полифенолног филма на површини електроде, али и до његове разградње

Efficient Stabilization of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae External Invertase by Immobilisation on Modified Beidellite Nanoclays. Food Chemistry 2015, 168, 262–269. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2014.07.055
The external invertase isoform 1 (EINV1) was immobilised on eight differently modified beidellite nanoclays, Modifications were composed of organo-modification with different amounts of surfactant - hexadecyl trimethylammonium cation (HDTMA), pillaring with Al/Fe containing polyhydroxy cations and acid modification of Na-enriched and pillared clays. The modified nanoclays were characterised by XRD, N-2-physisorption, SEM and FT-IR spectroscopy. The amount of bound enzyme activity was significantly influenced by the modification of beidellite ranging from 50 to remarkable 2200 U/g. Biochemical characterization was performed for five modified nanoclays showing the highest enzyme activity after invertase immobilisation. The investigation demonstrated that after immobilisation the structure and the catalytic properties of invertase were preserved, while Km values were slightly increased from 26 to 37 mM. immobilisation significantly improved thermal and storage stability of EINV1. Results indicate that beidellite nanoclays obtained by low cost modifications can be applied as a suitable support for the immobilisation of invertase. The immobilizate can be efficiently engaged in sucrose hydrolysis in batch reactor.Supplementary material for: [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2014.07.055]Related to published version: [http://cherry.chem.bg.ac.rs/handle/123456789/1865
Co(II) impregnated Al(III)-pillared montmorillonite–Synthesis, characterization and catalytic properties in Oxone® activation for dye degradation
Aluminum pillared clay was synthesized and impregnated with Co2+ (CoAP), using incipient wetness impregnation method. The obtained CoAP was characterized by chemical analysis, XRPD, SEM with EDS, XPS and low temperature N2 physisorption. By these methods the incorporation of Co2+ was confirmed in both micro and mesoporous region. The synthesized material was investigated as a catalyst in catalytic oxidation of organic water pollutants – dyes – in the presence of Oxone® (peroxymonosulfate). Oxone® is a precursor of sulfate radicals. Tartrazine was chosen as a model dye pollutant. The influence of the mass of the catalyst, temperature and initial pH was investigated. Temperature increase was beneficial for dye degradation rate. The reaction rate was the highest for initial pH values around those corresponding to neutral conditions, somewhat slower for pH 10 decolorization was significantly less expressed. Along with decolorization of tartrazine solution the formation and degradation of tartrazine catalytic oxidation products were monitored using UV–Vis spectroscopy. CoAP was found to be efficient catalyst in Oxone® induced catalytic degradation of both tartrazine and detected products of its degradation.Supplementary material: [http://cherry.chem.bg.ac.rs/handle/123456789/3375

pillared smectite, were used as template for formation
of metallic nanodispersions by method of
impregnation/thermal degradation of acetilacetonate
salts. The clusters of nickel, platinum, silver, and
platinum/ruthenium mixture were incorporated in
zeolite, while pillared smectite was impregnated only
with silver. The optimal conditions (the temperature
and the atmosphere) for thermal degradation of
acetilacetonate salts were established by
thermogravimetric analysis of these salts.
The XRD analysis showed that incorporated metallic
clusters were crystals only in low degree. It was also
showed that impregnation/thermal degradation method
does not destroy the aluminosilicate structure at lower
content of incorporated metal. SEM and TEM analysis
showed that part of metal was incorporated into the
zeolite cages, while the other part formd metallic
particles on the outer surface of the zeolite. The zeolite
structre was partly colapsed during incorporation of
nickel in amounts higher then 20 mass%. The specific
surface area, micopore volume and total pore volume
of original and modified aluminosilicates were
evaluated by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms.
Textural properties parameteres decreased with the
increase of the metal content in the sample.
The electrocatalytic properties of modified zeolites
were investigated in several reactions: oxygen
reduction, the oxidation of hydroxil group, the oxidation
of carbon monoxide and the oxidation of methanol.
The electrochemical behavior of nickel modified zeolite
is similar to the behavior of smooth nickel electrode:
the characteristic Ni(OH)2 / NiOOH redox couple as
well as good catalytic activity for oxygen reduction and
evolution could be seen on cyclic voltammograms. The
methanol oxidation occurs on nickel oxide. The rate od
this reaction was higher on the sample with higher
nickel content.
The platinum impregnated zeolite showed
discrepances in comparison to smooth platinum
electrode due to limitation of difusion trough zeolite
cages. Current density for methanol oxidation of about
oko 0.2 mAcm-2 was significantly lower then current
density obtained on smooth platinum electrode. Since
three adjacent Pt sites are initially needed for
dissociative methanol adsorption to it can be
concluded that this data also implies high dispersion of
incorporated platinum.
The zeolite sample impregnated by platinum/ruthenium
mixture exhibited the synergistic effect of these two
metals in the reactions of oxidation of carbon monoxide
and methanol. The onset potentials of oxidation of
carbon monoxide and methanol were shifted toward
more negative potentials in comparison to platinum
modified zeolite. The current densities were 10 times
higher amounted 18 mA cm-2. Tne increse of total
metal content from 10 to 20 mass % led to
enhancement of electrode kinetic.
The oxygen reduction on silver impregnated zeolite
follows 4e- mechanism. This was established by
comparison of these results with reuslts obtained on
Ag(100) electrode for which 4e- mwchanism was
proved.
The XRD analysis and nitrogen adsorption-desorption
isotherms confirmed that pillaring process was
successful. Smectite was impregnated with 10 mass%
of silver. Cyclic voltammogram of silver impregnated
pillared smectite was si,ilar to CV of silver
imperegnated zeolite, although the current densities
were lower due to lower metal content. The oxygen
reduction follows 4e- mechanism

electrode due to limitation of difusion trough zeolite
cages. Current density for methanol oxidation of about
oko 0.2 mAcm-2 was significantly lower then current
density obtained on smooth platinum electrode. Since
three adjacent Pt sites are initially needed for
dissociative methanol adsorption to it can be
concluded that this data also implies high dispersion of
incorporated platinum.
The zeolite sample impregnated by platinum/ruthenium
mixture exhibited the synergistic effect of these two
metals in the reactions of oxidation of carbon monoxide
and methanol. The onset potentials of oxidation of
carbon monoxide and methanol were shifted toward
more negative potentials in comparison to platinum
modified zeolite. The current densities were 10 times
higher amounted 18 mA cm-2. Tne increse of total
metal content from 10 to 20 mass % led to
enhancement of electrode kinetic.
The oxygen reduction on silver impregnated zeolite
follows 4e- mechanism. This was established by
comparison of these results with reuslts obtained on
Ag(100) electrode for which 4e- mwchanism was
proved.
The XRD analysis and nitrogen adsorption-desorption
isotherms confirmed that pillaring process was
successful. Smectite was impregnated with 10 mass%
of silver. Cyclic voltammogram of silver impregnated
pillared smectite was si,ilar to CV of silver
imperegnated zeolite, although the current densities
were lower due to lower metal content. The oxygen
reduction follows 4e- mechanism

pillared smectite, were used as template for formation
of metallic nanodispersions by method of
impregnation/thermal degradation of acetilacetonate
salts. The clusters of nickel, platinum, silver, and
platinum/ruthenium mixture were incorporated in
zeolite, while pillared smectite was impregnated only
with silver. The optimal conditions (the temperature
and the atmosphere) for thermal degradation of
acetilacetonate salts were established by
thermogravimetric analysis of these salts.
The XRD analysis showed that incorporated metallic
clusters were crystals only in low degree. It was also
showed that impregnation/thermal degradation method
does not destroy the aluminosilicate structure at lower
content of incorporated metal. SEM and TEM analysis
showed that part of metal was incorporated into the
zeolite cages, while the other part formd metallic
particles on the outer surface of the zeolite. The zeolite
structre was partly colapsed during incorporation of
nickel in amounts higher then 20 mass%. The specific
surface area, micopore volume and total pore volume
of original and modified aluminosilicates were
evaluated by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms.
Textural properties parameteres decreased with the
increase of the metal content in the sample.
The electrocatalytic properties of modified zeolites
were investigated in several reactions: oxygen
reduction, the oxidation of hydroxil group, the oxidation
of carbon monoxide and the oxidation of methanol.
The electrochemical behavior of nickel modified zeolite
is similar to the behavior of smooth nickel electrode:
the characteristic Ni(OH)2 / NiOOH redox couple as
well as good catalytic activity for oxygen reduction and
evolution could be seen on cyclic voltammograms. The
methanol oxidation occurs on nickel oxide. The rate od
this reaction was higher on the sample with higher
nickel content.
The platinum impregnated zeolite showed
discrepances in comparison to smooth platinum
electrode due to limitation of difusion trough zeolite
cages. Current density for methanol oxidation of about
oko 0.2 mAcm-2 was significantly lower then current
density obtained on smooth platinum electrode. Since
three adjacent Pt sites are initially needed for
dissociative methanol adsorption to it can be
concluded that this data also implies high dispersion of
incorporated platinum.
The zeolite sample impregnated by platinum/ruthenium
mixture exhibited the synergistic effect of these two
metals in the reactions of oxidation of carbon monoxide
and methanol. The onset potentials of oxidation of
carbon monoxide and methanol were shifted toward
more negative potentials in comparison to platinum
modified zeolite. The current densities were 10 times
higher amounted 18 mA cm-2. Tne increse of total
metal content from 10 to 20 mass % led to
enhancement of electrode kinetic.
The oxygen reduction on silver impregnated zeolite
follows 4e- mechanism. This was established by
comparison of these results with reuslts obtained on

Reduction of Oxygen at a NaX-Ag Composite Electrode and Its Application to the Determination of Oxygen in Aqueous Media
A composite mixture Ag-NaX zeolite (silver concentration 16.7% w/w) is synthesized usingimpregnation and thermal decomposition. For silver impregnation, a solution of an Ag acetylacetonate complex in acetone was used. Despite the quantity of silver applied was substantially less than it would be necessary to fill the inner pore space in the zeolite completely, some part of silver formed nanocrystallites and nanoparticles giving rise to a novel composite material. The composite powder was uniformed with soot (10% w/w) and applied onto a mirror-smooth graphite surface used as an electrode matrix. The reduction of oxygen on such a surface proceeded with activity comparable to that observed on the most active planes of the silver single crystal, Ag(100)
