    Influence of vanadium nanoclusters in hydrogen uptake using hybrid nanostructured materials
    (Springer Science+Business Media, 2018) Juárez, Juliana María; Gómez Costa , Marcos Bruno; Martínez, María Laura; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo
    In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of vanadium oxide nanoclusters (V2O5) supported in silica nano- structured material (SBA-15) and nanostructured carbon (CMK-3). This material is promising in hydrogen adsorption and storage application for energy harvesting. The materials with vanadium oxide nanoclusters (VxOy-SBA-15 and VxOy-CMK-3) were successfully synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, textural properties, UV–Vis-DRS, X-ray photoelec- tron spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction and transmission electron microscopy analyses. VxOy-SBA-15 and VxOy-CMK-3 improved significantly the H2 storage behavior (1.33 wt% and 3.43 wt% at 77 K and 10 bar) compared with their respective supports SBA-15 and CMK-3. The materials synthesized are promising in hydrogen uptake by weak link forces (physisorption). A mechanism of hydrogen adsorption was proposed and V5+ cation roll in hydrogen uptake was discussed

    Multiple-wall carbon nanotubes obtained with mesoporous material decorated with ceria-zirconia
    (2020) Rodríguez, Miguel Angel; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel; Martínez, María Laura
    In this work, Ceria-Zirconia on ordered Santa Barbara mesoporous silica (Ce-Zr-SBA-15), has been used directly as a catalyst for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). In addition to cerium oxide, it contains zirconium oxide nano crystallites, which act as catalysts for carbon nanostructures. The catalytic performance of this material was evaluated for the decomposition of ethanol at 900 °C, with N2 flow. The carbon decomposed from absolute ethanol diffuses through the surface of the nanostructured catalytic material and precipitates in the form of MWCNT structures, which could be identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), showing average diameters of 30–35 nm.
