NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2122. [PMID: 37513133 PMCID: PMC10385873 DOI: 10.3390/nano13142122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a remarkable mechanism which yields the production of hydrogen through a process of water electrolysis. However, the evolution of hydrogen requires highly conductive and stable catalysts, such as the noble metal platinum (Pt). However, the problem lies in the limitations that this catalyst and others of its kind present. Due to limited availability, as well as the costs involved in acquiring such catalysts, researchers are challenged to manufacture catalysts that do not present these limitations. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are nanomaterials, are known to have a wide range of applications. However, specifically, the pristine carbon nanotube is not suitable for the HER due to the binding free energy of its positive H-atoms. Hence, for the first time, we demonstrated the use of the proposed aryl-functionalised catalysts, i.e., Aryl-L@SWCNT (L = Br, CCH, Cl, CO2CH3, F, I, NO2, or t-butyl), along with the effect of the sp2-sp3 hybridised interface through the density functional theory (DFT). We performed calculations of single-walled carbon nanotubes with multiple aryl functional groups. By employing the DFT calculations, we proved that the curvature of the nanotubes along with the proposed aryl-functionalised catalysts had a noteworthy effect on the performance of the HER. Our study opens the door to investigating a promising group of catalysts for sustainable hydrogen production.

Abstract
The application of composite materials as catalysts for the oxidation of CO and other toxic compounds is a promising approach for air purification. In this work, the composites comprising palladium and ceria components supported on multiwall carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers and Sibunit were studied in the reactions of CO and CH4 oxidation. The instrumental methods showed that the defective sites of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) successfully stabilize the deposited components in a highly-dispersed state: PdO and CeO2 nanoparticles, subnanosized PdOx and PdxCe1-xO2-δ clusters with an amorphous structure, as well as single Pd and Ce atoms, are formed. It was shown that the reactant activation process occurs on palladium species with the participation of oxygen from the ceria lattice. The presence of interblock contacts between PdO and CeO2 nanoparticles has an important effect on oxygen transfer, which consequently affects the catalytic activity. The morphological features of the CNMs, as well as the defect structure, have a strong influence on the particle size and mutual stabilization of the deposited PdO and CeO2 components. The optimal combination of highly dispersed PdOx and PdxCe1-xO2-δ species, as well as PdO nanoparticles in the CNTs-based catalyst, makes it highly effective in both studied oxidation reactions.

Abstract
In this work, mesoporous MCM-41 was modified by a new Schiff-base formed from the condensation of triethylenetatramine and 5-bromosalicylaldehyde. Then, it was used for the stabilization of lanthanum metal (La-Schiff base@MCM-41) as a homoselective, reusable, efficient and biocompatible catalyst in the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole derivatives. The synthesized tetrazoles were characterized using 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy and methods to measure their physical properties. La-Schiff base@MCM-41 was characterized by using various techniques such as ICP, CHN, XRD, TGA, BET, FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, EDS and WDX. This catalyst has good stability and a heterogeneous nature, enabling it to be easily recovered and reused several times without significant loss in catalytic activity. This present strategy has important advantages such as utilizing PEG as a green solvent, short reaction times, excellent yields, easy recycling of the catalyst and pure separation of the products. The recovered La-Schiff base@MCM-41 catalyst was characterized by using FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM and AAS.

Abstract
The composite nanomaterials based on noble metals, reducible oxides, and nanostructured carbon are considered to be perspective catalysts for many useful reactions. In the present work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used for the preparation of Pd-Ce-Ox/MWCNTs and Pt-Ce-Ox/MWCNTs catalysts comprising the active components (6 wt%Pd, 6 wt%Pt, 20 wt%CeO2) as highly dispersed nanoparticles, clusters, and single atoms. The application of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) provided analysis of the samples’ morphology and structure at the atomic level. For Pd-Ce-Ox/MWCNTs samples, the formation of PdO nanoparticles with an average crystallite size of ~8 nm was shown. Pt-Ce-Ox/MWCNTs catalysts comprised single Pt2+ ions and PtOx clusters less than 1 nm. A comparison of the catalytic properties of the samples showed higher activity of Pd-based catalysts in CO and CH4 oxidation reactions in a low-temperature range (T50 = 100 °C and T50 = 295 °C, respectively). However, oxidative pretreatment of the samples resulted in a remarkable enhancement of CO oxidation activity of Pt-Ce-Ox/MWCNTs catalyst at T < 20 °C (33% of CO conversion at T = 0 °C), while no changes were detected for the Pd-Ce-Ox/MWCNTs sample. The revealed catalytic effect was discussed in terms of the capability of the Pt-Ce-Ox/MWCNTs system to form unique PtOx clusters providing high catalytic activity in low-temperature CO oxidation.

Abstract
In this work, we prepared a series of N-functionalized carbon nanotubes by means of a process of acylation-amidation of commercial multiwall carbon nanotubes that were previously pre-oxidized with nitric acid. Three different amines, butylamine, N,N-dimethyl ethylenediamine, and ethylenediamine, were used in the process. The characterization of samples by several techniques probed the incorporation of nitrogen atoms to the carbon nanotubes, especially in the case of ethylenediamine. The solids were tested as catalysts in the synthesis of N-1-heptenyl-2-pyrrolidinone, included in the group of a γ-lactams, compounds that show important biological properties. The most active catalyst was that prepared with butylamine, which exhibited the highest SBET and Vpore values and contained an amount of nitrogen that was intermediate between that of the other two catalysts. A yield of 60% to N-1-heptenyl-2-pyrrolidinone was achieved after 3 h at 120 °C under free-solvent conditions. This catalyst could be used in four consecutive cycles without significant activity loss.

Abstract
Three different carbon nanoforms (CNFs), single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs, MWCNTs) and carbon nanohorns (CNHs), have been used as supports for the direct polymerization of variable amounts of a bis-vinylimidazolium salt. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that all CNFs act as templates on the growth of the polymeric network, which perfectly covers the nanocarbons forming a cylindrical (SWCNTs, MWCNTs) or spherical (CNHs) coating. The stability of these hybrid materials was investigated in the conversion of CO2 into cyclic carbonate under high temperature and CO2 pressure. Compared with the homopolymerized monomer, nanotube-based materials display an improved catalytic activity. Beside the low catalytic loading (0.05-0.09 mol%) and the absence of Lewis acid co-catalysts, all the materials showed high TON values (up to 1154 for epichlorohydrin with SW-1:2). Interestingly, despite the loss of part of the polymeric coating for crumbling or peeling, the activity increases upon recycling of the materials, and this behaviour was ascribed to their change in morphology, which led to materials with higher surface areas and with more accessible catalytic sites. Transmission electron microscopy analysis, along with different experiments, have been carried out in order to elucidate these findings.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes are of great interest for their ability to functionalize with atoms for adsorbing toxic gases such as CO, NO, and NO2. Here, we use density functional theory in conjunction with dispersion correction to examine the encapsulation and adsorption efficacy of SO2 and H2S molecules by a (14,0) carbon nanotube and its substitutionally doped form with Ru. Exoergic encapsulation and adsorption energies are calculated for pristine nanotubes. The interaction of molecules with pristine nanotube is non-covalent as confirmed by the negligible charge transfer. The substitutional doping of Ru does not improve the encapsulation significantly. Nevertheless, there is an important enhancement in the adsorption of molecules by Ru-doped (14,0) nanotube. Such strong adsorption is confirmed by the strong chemical interaction between the nanotube and molecules. The promising feature of Ru-doped nanotubes can be tested experimentally for SO2 and H2S gas sensing.

Abstract
Platinum deposited on dispersed materials has so far been the most demanded catalyst for creating cathodes for a wide range of electrochemical power sources. This paper sets out to investigate the effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) modification by O, N, and P atoms on the structural, electrocatalytic, and corrosion properties of the as-synthesized monoplatinum catalysts. The investigated Pt/CNTmod catalysts showed an increased electrochemically active platinum surface area and electrical conductivity, as well as an increased catalytic activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline electrolytes. The improved characteristics of Pt/CNT catalysts are explained by alterations in the composition and number of groups, which are formed on the CNT surface, and their electronic structure. By the sum of the main characteristics, Pt/CNTHNO3+N and Pt/CNTHNO3+NP are the most promising catalysts for use as cathode materials in alkaline media.

Abstract
Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes and other related nanomaterials are in the spotlight due to their unique molecular structures and properties, having a wide range of applications. The cage-like structure of carbon nanotubes is especially appealing as a route to confine molecules, isolating them from the solvent medium. This study aims to explore and characterize, through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, covalent tip-functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTS) with carboxymethyl moieties that establish pH sensitive molecular gates. The response of the molecular gate to pH fluctuations arises from variations in the noncovalent interactions between functionalized groups, which depend on the extent of protonation, leading to conformational changes. Overall, the hydrogen bonds present in the molecular models under study, as evaluated through topological analysis and pKa calculations, suggest that functionalized SWCNTs may be suitable for the design of drug delivery systems to enhance the efficiency of some pharmacological treatments, or even in the area of catalysis and separation processes, through their incorporation in nanocomposites.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) have attracted considerable attention in the scientific community both from a scientific and an industrial point of view. Fullerenes, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and carbon dots (CDs) are the most popular forms and continue to be widely studied. However, the general poor solubility of many of these materials in most common solvents and their strong tendency to aggregate remains a major obstacle in practical applications. To solve these problems, organic chemistry offers formidable help, through the exploitation of tailored approaches, especially when aiming at the integration of nanostructures in biological systems. According to our experience with carbon-based nanostructures, the introduction of amino groups is one of the best trade-offs for the preparation of functionalized nanomaterials. Indeed, amino groups are well-known for enhancing the dispersion, solubilization, and processability of materials, in particular of CNMs. Amino groups are characterized by basicity, nucleophilicity, and formation of hydrogen or halogen bonding. All these features unlock new strategies for the interaction between nanomaterials and other molecules. This integration can occur either through covalent bonds (e.g., via amide coupling) or in a supramolecular fashion. In the present Feature Article, the attention will be focused through selected examples of our approach to the synthetic pathways necessary for the introduction of amino groups in CNMs and the subsequent preparation of highly engineered ad hoc nanostructures for practical applications.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes are a versatile platform to develop sustainable and stable electrodes for energy-related applications. However, their electrocatalytic activity is still poorly understood. This work deciphers the origin of the catalytic activity of counter-electrodes (CEs)/current collectors made of self-standing carbon nanotube fibers (CNTfs) using Co2+/Co3+ redox couple electrolytes. This is based on comprehensive electrochemical and spectroscopic characterization of fresh and used electrodes applied to symmetric electrochemical cells using platinum-based CEs as a reference. As the most relevant findings, two straight relationships were established: (i) the limiting current and stability increase rapidly with the surface concentration of oxygen-containing functional groups, and (ii) the catalytic potential is inversely related to the amount of residual metallic Fe catalyst nanoparticles interspersed in the CNTf network. Finally, the fine tuning of the metal nanoparticle content and the degree of functionalization enabled fabrication of efficient and stable dye-sensitized solar cells with cobalt electrolytes and CNTf-CEs outperforming those with reference Pt-CEs.

Abstract
The influence of the types and amounts of oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), and/or phosphorus (P) heteroatoms on the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on stability and catalytic activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was investigated in alkaline media. It is shown that functionalization of CNTs leads to growth of the electrochemically active surface and to an increase in activity in the ORR. At the same time, a decrease in stability is observed after functionalization of CNTs under accelerated corrosion testing in alkaline media. These results are most significant on CNTs after functionalization in HNO3, due to the formation of a large number of structural defects. However, subsequent doping with N and/or P atoms provides a further activity increase and enhances the corrosion stability of CNTs. Thus, as shown by the studies of characteristic parameters (electrochemical active surface values (SEAS); E1/2; corrosion stability), CNTs doped with N and NP are promising catalytic systems that can be recommended for use as fuel cell cathodes. An important condition for effective doping is the synthesis of carboxyl and carbonyl oxygen-containing groups on the surface of CNTs.

Abstract
A series of carbon nanotubes doped with Fe and/or Cu, Fe100‒xCux/CNT (x = 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100) has been prepared by an easy method of wetness impregnation of commercial multiwalled carbon nanotubes previously oxidized with nitric acid. The wide characterization of the solids by different techniques demonstrates that the incorporation of Fe and Cu to the CNTs has been successfully produced. Fe100-xCux/CNT samples were tested as catalysts in the removal of paracetamol from aqueous solution by a combined process of adsorption and Fenton-like oxidation. Under mild conditions, 25 °C and natural pH of solution, i.e., nearly neutral, values of oxidation of paracetamol between 90.2% and 98.3% were achieved after 5 h of reaction in most of cases. Furthermore, with the samples containing higher amounts of copper, i.e., Cu100/CNT and Fe25Cu75/CNT, only 2 h were necessary to produce depletion values of 73.2% and 87.8%, respectively. The influence of pH and dosage of H2O2 on the performance has also been studied. A synergic effect between both Cu+/Cu2+ and Fe2+/Fe3+ in Fenton-like reaction was observed. These results demonstrate that Fe100-xCux/CNT are powerful Fenton-like catalyst for degradation of paracetamol from aqueous solution and they could be extended to the removal of other organic pollutants.

Abstract
Oxidation reactions are a key technology to transform hydrocarbons from petroleum feedstock into chemicals of a higher oxidation state, allowing further chemical transformations. These bulk-scale oxidation processes usually employ molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant as at this scale it is typically the only economically viable oxidant. The produced commodity chemicals possess limited functionality and usually show a high degree of symmetry thereby avoiding selectivity issues. In sharp contrast, in the production of fine chemicals preference is still given to classical oxidants. Considering the strive for greener production processes, the use of O2 , the most abundant and greenest oxidant, is a logical choice. Given the rich functionality and complexity of fine chemicals, achieving regio/chemoselectivity is a major challenge. This review presents an overview of the most important catalytic systems recently described for aerobic oxidation, and the current insight in their reaction mechanism.

Abstract
The unique morphological characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) present the intriguing opportunity of exploiting the inner cavity for carrying out chemical reactions. Such reactions are catalysed either by the individual tubes that function both as catalysts and nanoreactors or by additional catalytic species that are confined within the channel. Such confinement creates what is called “confinement effect”, which can result in different catalytic features affecting activity, stability and selectivity. The review highlights the recent major advancements of catalysis conducted within the CNTs, starting from the synthesis of the catalytic composite, and discussing the most notable catalytic processes that have been reported in the last decade.

Abstract
By employing coarse grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, the effect of the size and hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of the interior/exterior structures of the dendrimers in carbon nanotube (CNT)-dendrimer composites has been studied, to find a stable composite with high solubility in water and the capability to be used in drug delivery applications. For this purpose, composites consisting of core-shell dendrimer complexes including: [PPI{core}-PAMAM{shell}], [PAMAM{core}-polyethyleneglycol (PEG){shell}] and [PAMAM{core}-fattyacid (FTA){shell}] were constructed. A new CG model for the fatty acid (FTA) molecules as functionalized to the dendrimer was developed, which, unlike the previous models, could generate the structural conformations of the FTA properly. The obtained results indicated that the dendrimer complexes with short FTA chains can form stable composites with the CNT. Also, it was found that the pristine PAMAM and PPI-PAMAM with small PPI, and PAMAM-PEG dendrimers with short PEG chains, can distribute their chains into the water medium and interact with the CNT efficiently, to form a stable water-soluble CNT-dendrimer composite. The results demonstrated that the structural difference between the interior and exterior of a core-shell dendrimer complex can prevent the core and the interior layers of the dendrimer complex from interacting with the CNT. An overall analysis of the results manifested that the CNT-PAMAM:4-PEG:4 is the most stable composite, due to strong binding of the dendrimer with the CNT while also having high solubility in water, and its core retains its structure properly and unchanged, suitable for encapsulating drugs in the targeted delivery applications.

Abstract
A new concept of a reconfigurable smart catalyst was developed from the synergistic combination of polycarbonate/carbon nanotube bimorph photoactuators and TiO2. The addition of TiO2 provides the photoactuators with photocatalytic activity and superior opto-mechanical properties, making phototropic actuation fast, reversible and responsive to Vis-NIR light sources. These composites were tested in the wireless, light-driven and spatially controlled remote triggering of different chemical reactions, including local explosions and photocatalytic polymerizations. The same materials were also investigated as efficient opto-mechanical shutters for the light-selective inhibition or activation of specific reactions, such as the photo-induced degradation of organic dyes. These results suggest that the integration of photocatalysts with soft photoactuators can open intriguing opportunities for chemistry and soft robotics.
