Patent number: 11890605Abstract: A monolithic metal-organic framework (MOF) composite body is disclosed, comprising: MOF crystallites adhered to each other via a binder comprising MOF; and at least 0.15 vol % nanoparticles encapsulated in the MOF body. The nanoparticles have an average particle size corresponding to an average particle diameter in the range 3-200 nm. The nanoparticles may have photocatalytic activity. The MOF composite body is of use for treating water containing an organic dye, the photocatalytic reaction supported by the photocatalytic nanoparticles being a degradation reaction of the organic dye.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2018Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Cambridge Enterprise LimitdInventors: David Fairen-Jimenez, Tian Tian, Joshua Mehta, Andrew Wheatley, Bethany Connolly

Patent number: 9132419Abstract: [Problem] The present invention provides a NOx purification catalyst which utilizes Ag as one of the catalyst components and exhibits NOx purification performance without adjustment to a special exhaust gas composition, as well as a method of producing the same. [Means for Solution] The present invention provides a nitrogen oxide purification catalyst in which particulates are supported on a metal oxide carrier, wherein the aforementioned particulates consist of Ag and Ni and the aforementioned Ag and Ni are at least partially alloyed. Also provided is a method of producing the aforementioned catalyst, comprising the step of preparing a colloidal suspension in which the ratio of Ag is 10 to 90 at % with respect to the total amount of Ag and Ni.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, CAMBRIDGE ENTERPRISE LIMITEDInventors: Mayuko Osaki, Yoshiaki Inagaki, Atsushi Tanaka, Brian Johnson, Andrew Wheatley, Maciej Cabaj, Masaya Ibe
