  • Method of forming metal oxide nanostructures on a TiO—ZnO-buffered substrate
    Patent number: 11980876
    Abstract: A method of forming TiO2—ZnO nanoparticles coated by a copper (II) complex includes forming a mononuclear copper complex by treating a ligand with Cu2+ ions; and immobilizing the mononuclear copper complex on TiO2—ZnO nanoparticles to obtain the TiO2—ZnO nanoparticle coated by the copper (II) complex. The TiO2—ZnO nanoparticles coated by a copper (II) complex thus produced have improved catalytic effectiveness and increased efficiency by reducing catalytic reaction time and temperature, particularly in methods of catalyzing oxidation of an alcohol or of catalyzing decarboxylative bromination of an acid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 5, 2023
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2024
    Assignee: KING FAISAL UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Mohamed Shaker Sayed Adam, Amel Musa Taha, Mohamed M. Makhlouf

  • Effective heterogeneous catalyst of ZnO—TiO2 coated by copper (II) bis-Schiff base hydrazone complex for the organic oxidation processes
    Patent number: 11826742
    Abstract: A new heterogeneous catalyst for various organic oxidation processes and a method of making the same by a successful immobilization of a copper (II) bis-Schiff base hydrazone complex on the surface of a composite ZnO—TiO2 to afford as active catalyst CuL2Cl2@ZnO—TiO2. This novel catalyst can be used to selectively oxidize benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde.
