High-Temperature Behavior of Pd/MgO Catalysts Prepared via Various Sol-Gel Approaches.

A series of Pd/MgO catalysts based on nanocrystalline MgO were prepared via different sol-gel approaches. In the first two cases, palladium was introduced during the gel preparation, followed by drying it in supercritical or ambient conditions. In the third case, aerogel-prepared MgO was impregnated with an ethanol solution of Pd(NO).

Hybrid Nanocomposite Solid Electrolytes (n-CH)NBF-MgO.

Hybrid nanocomposite materials BuNBF-MgO were obtained using a nanocrystalline MgO with a specific surface area of 324 m/g and the grains size of 5.1 nm. As a result of the strong adhesion, the salt transforms into an interface-stabilized amorphous state within the thin layer near the interface.
