Abstract

This feature focuses on a reagent chosen by a postgraduate, highlighting the uses and preparation of the reagent in current research (S)-(+)-1-(2-Pyrrolidinylmethyl)pyrrolidine Compiled by Raghunath Chowdhury Raghunath Chowdhury was born in Jhantipahari, West Bengal, India. He pursued his B.Sc. (honors) (2003) and M.Sc. (2005) in chemistry from the University of Burdwan. He then joined the Training School of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai and in 2006 the Bio-Organic Division of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre.Currently he is working towards his Ph.D. thesis under the supervision of Prof. Sunil K. Ghosh in the same institute. His research interests are focused on the diversity-oriented synthesis of small organic molecules using organocatalysts and sulpher ylides.

Investigations into nanostructured ceria–zirconia catalysts for soot combustion

“…Nanostructured CeO 2 -based materials, having specific surface planes, have shown promising catalytic activities for many reactions, including soot combustion [10,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Small ceria particles, with an abundance of (100) and (110) planes, are usually more active than larger CeO 2 -particles with preferred exposure of the (111) planes [32][33][34].…”

Introducing nanocrystalline CeO2 as heterogeneous environmental friendly catalyst for the aerobic oxidation of para-xylene to terephthalic acid in water

“…The synthesis and applications of this rare earth oxide have been already discussed in various recent review articles. [13][14][15] CeO 2 particles of either isotropic or anisotropic shape (with or without metal nanoparticles support) are coveted in a variety of applications, e.g. ceramic ingredient, 16 oxygen gas sensors, 17 methanol oxidation, 18,19 chemical-mechanical polishing agent, 20 toluene oxidation, 21 catalyst for the exhaust gas treatment from automobiles, 22 in solid oxide fuel cells, 23 CO oxidation, 24,25 production of H 2 , 26 and many more.…”

“…In most of the catalytic applications of CeO 2 for other type of reactions, it has been noticed that an increased catalytic activity comes from several defects which depend on partial pressure of oxygen. [11][12][13][14] The principal defects of interest are oxygen vacancies and small polarons (electrons localized on cerium cations) because these two are located in the "useful" range of ceria. In the case of oxygen defects, the increased diffusion rate of oxygen in the lattice causes increased catalytic activity as well as an increase in ionic conductivity, making ceria an interesting candidate as catalyst in various important reactions.…”

High oxygen storage capacity and enhanced catalytic performance of NiO/NixCe1−xO2−δ nanorods: synergy between Ni-doping and 1D morphology

“…[7][8][9] An enhanced redox-behavior and improvements in catalytic performance of 1D ceria materials have been proved several times. 7,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Diverse routes of synthesis to obtain anisotropic growth and the consequent 1D structure have been well documented; hydrothermal synthesis using high concentrations of NaOH is one of the most efficient procedures to obtain these morphologies. 15 On the other hand, not only morphology, but also composition can improve the catalytic performance of materials.…”
