  • Publication number: 20110237430
    Abstract: A process for preparing a catalyst comprising palladium supported on a carrier via a layered precursor, comprising the following steps: (1) synthesis of hydrotalcite layered precursor which comprises promoting metal element and aluminium on the surface of the carrier of Al2O3 microspheres, the atoms of the promoting metal and aluminium being highly dispersed by each other and bonded firmly to the carrier due to the crystal lattice positioning effect of the hydrotalcite crystal; (2) introduction of palladium into the carrier through impregnation; (3) drying; and (4) calcination and reduction with H2, the hydrotalcite layered precursor being converted into a composite oxide which consists of oxides of the promoting metal and aluminium, and the promoting metal element and aluminium being highly dispersed by each other and being able to separate and disperse the mainly active palladium element loaded later.

  • Publication number: 20100219378
    Abstract: The present invention provide a preparation method of composite blue luminescent thin film of sulfonated poly(p-phenylene) (i.e. poly[2,5-bis(3-sulfonatopropoxy)-1,4-phenylene-alt-1,4-phenylene]) and LDHs (Layered Double Hydroxides). The preparation method comprises following steps: preparing delaminated LDHs colloidal solution using formamide solvent, preparing sulfonated poly(p-phenylene) aqueous solution, performing alternate assembling on hydrophilically treated substrate in the two solutions to give the composite thin film of sulfonated poly(p-phenylene)/LDHs multilayer. The present invention has the advantages of simple preparation process, and film thickness controllable at nanoscale precision; the invention also achieves the immobilization of luminescent polymer via restricted space among LDHs layers and host-guest interaction, effectively improves thermal stability, and reduces fluorescence quenching caused by aggregation.

  • Publication number: 20100130750
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a benzocarbazole-intercalated layered double hydroxides (LDHs) composite luminescent material and its preparation method. The detailed procedure comprises preparing divalent and trivalent metal cation solution A and glycol solution B of sodium 2-hydroxy benzo[a]carbazole-3-carboxylate, mixing the solutions A and B to obtain solution C, slowly adding the prepared NaOH solution dropwise into the solution C, regulating pH of the resultant after dropwise addition to obtain slurry D, allowing the slurry D to react under water bath or microwave temperature-controlled heating condition, centrifuging and washing the obtained product, and drying in vacuum to obtain 2-hydroxy benzo[a]carbazole-3-carboxylate anion intercalated LDHs composite material.

  • Publication number: 20080170978
    Abstract: Disclosed is a clean method for preparing layered double hydroxides (LDHs), in which hydroxides of different metals are used as starting materials for production of LDHs by atom-economical reactions. The atom efficiency of the reaction is 100% in each case because all the atoms of the reactants are converted into the target product since only M2+(OH)2, M3+(OH)3, and CO2 or HnAn? are used, without any NaOH or other materials. Since there is no by-product, filtration or washing process is unnecessary. The consequent reduction in water consumption is also beneficial to the environment.

  • Publication number: 20080108498
    Abstract: This invention provides a general method for preparing a large oriented nanostructured mixed metal oxide (MMO) film comprising the steps of (a) preparing a highly (00l)-oriented LDH film, and (b) calcining the LDH film at a temperature of 300° C. to 1300° C. for 10 min to 36 h to obtain an oriented nanostructured MMO film. In the oriented MMO film, MMO nanoparticles are densely packed and form defect-free films which have high thermal stability. The major advantage of the present method is that it can be used for mass-production of large continuous oriented nanostructured MMO films without using any templates, lattice-matched single-crystalline substrates and/or expensive equipment, and the composition of the prepared MMO films can be readily adjusted by changing the composition of the LDHs fims as the precursor.

  • Patent number: 7247598
    Abstract: This invention describes a nano-scale magnetic solid base catalyst and its preparation method. The catalyst involves a magnetic core coated with a solid base active layer. The synthesis of the nano-scale magnetic cores was first carried out using a rapid nucleation method in a colloid mill reactor using a liquid-liquid reaction. The nano-scale magnetic cores were mixed with a mixed salt solution. The LDH-containing magnetic cores were prepared in a colloid mill reactor by a rapid nucleation method, and subsequently calcined to give a solid base mixed oxides coated on magnetic cores. The characteristics of this catalyst are: nano-scale, high surface area and high activity and selectivity in base-catalyzed reactions. The highly dispersed catalyst can be easily reclaimed using an external magnetic field because of its magnetism. The catalyst can be utilized in base catalysis in organic reactions such as glycol ether synthesis, ester exchange, aldol condensation, etc.

  • Patent number: 7232557
    Abstract: The invention describes a method of preparing magnetic ferrites from layered precursors in which Fe2+ is first introduced into the layers of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) in order to prepare Me-Fe2+—Fe3+ LDHs, and then by utilizing the easily oxidized nature of Fe2+, binary or multi-component ferrite materials containing Fe3+ in a single crystalline phase can be prepared. Values of the saturation magnetization of ferrites prepared by the method are significantly increased compared with ferrites prepared by traditional methods. Because the metal elements in the layered precursor have the characteristics of a high degree of dispersion, high activity and small particle size (average particle size 40-200 nm), no milling is required before calcination, thus simplifying the production process, shortening the production period, reducing capital investment in equipment and economizing on energy costs. In addition, the method does not corrode production equipment and does not pollute the environment.
