Green Synthesis of Iron-Doped Cobalt Oxide Nanoparticles from Palm Kernel Oil via Co-Precipitation and Structural Characterization. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 11:2833.

Abstract
In this study, a bio-derived precipitating agent/ligand, palm kernel oil, has been used as an alternative route for the green synthesis of nanoparticles of Fe-doped Co3O4 via the co-precipitation reaction. The palm oil was extracted from dried palm kernel seeds by crushing, squeezing and filtration. The reaction of the palm kernel oil with potassium hydroxide, under reflux, yielded a solution containing a mixture of potassium carboxylate and excess hydroxide ions, irrespective of the length of saponification. The as-obtained solution reacts with an aqueous solution containing iron and cobalt ions to yield the desired metallo-organic precursor, iron cobalt carboxylate. Characterization of the precursors by IR and gas chromatography (GC) attests to the presence of carboxylate fatty acids in good agreement with the proportion contained in the oil, and ICP confirms that the metallic ratios are in the proportion used during the synthesis. Analysis of the products thermally decomposed between 400 °C and 600 °C by XRD, EDX, TEM and ToF-SIMS, established that cobalt iron oxide nanoparticles (Co(1-x)Fex)3O4 were obtained for x ≤ 0.2 and a nanocomposite material (Co(1-x)Fex)3O4/Fe3O4 for x ≥ 0.2, with sizes between 22 and 9 nm. ToF-SIMS and XRD provided direct evidence of the progressive substitution of cobalt by iron in the Co3O4 crystal structure for x ≤ 0.2.

Abstract
The catalytic behavior of a palladium catalyst supported on macroporous SmMn2O5 mullite (Pd/SMO-EG&M) for CO and C3H8 oxidation was measured under lean-burn conditions. Different analytical techniques including XRD, Raman, BET, CO chemisorption, SEM, FTEM, XPS, TPD, TPR and CO + O2 pulse were undertaken to evaluate its physical and chemical properties. It was concluded that the crystal structure, morphology and specific surface area (SSA) of SmMn2O5 remained unchanged after Pd addition. The Pd/SMO-EG&M exhibited a low complete transformation temperature for CO (105 °C) and C3H8 (350 °C) oxidation. Such remarkable oxidation activity was attributed to high Pd dispersion (38.4%), which improved the reducibility and mobility of oxygen species, as revealed by TPR and TPD measurements. The high activity of oxygen species for Pd/SMO-EG&M above 250 °C accelerated the oxidation capacity as well. In a word, our study indicates that the macroporous Pd-mullite catalyst has potential applications in exhaust purification for gasoline vehicle.

Abstract
Metal–organic framework (MOF)-based derivatives with uniform micro/mesoporous structures have attracted a great deal of interest in various research fields. Herein, we report a simple strategy to design functional mesoporous ternary metal oxides with controlled composition through direct pyrolysis of Co/Cu bimetal-formate frameworks (Co/Cu-MFFs), which were prepared by a facile one-step liquid-phase precipitation method, exhibiting uniform distribution of two different metal species and good structural integrity. The obtained mesoporous ternary metal oxide CuxCo3−xO4 (x = 0.5, 1) microcubes exhibit much better performance for CO oxidation than pure Co3O4, which can be mainly attributed to their larger specific surface areas, stronger reducibility, and the synergistic effect of two active metal oxide components. The fabricated CuxCo3−xO4 microcubes with structure and component merits exhibit good performance for CO oxidation.![]()
