AI Article Synopsis

  • BiO catalysts with a Bi-O bond structure exhibit more active sites, resulting in superior CO catalytic performance compared to pure Bi catalysts.
  • Strengthening the Bi-O bond in BiO is crucial for improving selectivity and catalytic activity in reactions.
  • The developed N pre-reduced spherical BiO/ATO catalyst achieves a formate Faradaic efficiency of 92.7%, outperforming existing tin oxide catalysts by retaining the Bi-O structure and lowering energy barriers in CO production reactions.

Article Abstract

BiO catalyst with Bi-O bond crystal structure has more active sites, which shows better CO catalytic performance than pure Bi catalysts in many catalytic reactions. How to strengthen the Bi-O bond in BiO to obtain higher selectivity and catalytic activity is a problem worthy of consideration. Here, we develop a N pre-reduced spherical BiO/ATO catalyst that has a high formate Faradaic efficiency of 92.7%, which is superior to the existing tin oxide catalyst. Detailed electrocatalytic analysis shows that N pre-reduction and spherical structure are helpful for Sn to stabilize the oxidation state of Bi, thus retaining part of the Bi-O structure. The existence of the Bi-O structure can reduce the energy barrier of the CO production *OCHO reaction and promote the reaction rate of the CO-*OCHO-HCOOH path, thus promoting the formation of formate.

Acoustic Cavitation-Assisted Formulation of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles using Different Stabilizers.

ACS Omega

August 2019

School of Basic Sciences, Advanced Material Research Centre, and Bio-X Research Centre, Indian Institute of Technology Mandi, Mandi 175005, Himachal Pradesh, India.

Because of excellent bioavailability and high biocompatibility, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have gained attention in recent years, especially in drug delivery systems. SLNs are composed of a drug that is loaded in a lipid matrix and stabilized by surfactants. In this work, we have investigated the feasibility of the acoustic cavitation-assisted hot melt mixing method for the formulation of SLNs using different stabilizers.
