Ionic liquid/TiO nanoparticles doped with non-expensive metals: new active catalyst for phenol photodegradation.

TiO nanoparticles were synthesized using 1--butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMI·BF) ionic liquid and doped with non-expensive metals Cu and Fe by the sol-gel method. The new generated photocatalysts had their morphological, textural and structural characteristics analysed by scanning electron microscopy and dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The results showed two phases by XRD analysis, anatase (majority) and rutile (minority).

Chitosan Microspheres from Shrimp Waste Supporting Pd Nanoparticles in Ionic Liquids: An Efficient and Eco-Friendly Catalyst for Hydrogenation Reactions.

Palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) (ca. 4.8 nm) were synthesized from Palladium acetylacetonate [Pd(acac)₂] using ionic liquids 1--butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [BMI.
