Production of butadiene and lower olefins via oxidative conversion of n-butane over Ni-Bi-O/zeolite catalysts

Ziyauddin S. Qureshi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the production of butadiene and light olefins from n-butane through oxidative conversion. The use of nanocomposites of Ni-Bi-Si oxides comprising Bi12SiO20/Bi(2)SiO(5) phase regulated with different zeolites results in varying ratios of Bi(12)SiO(20) and Bi2SiO5 phases. The catalysts' reducibility and acidity are controlled by the interaction between active species and zeolites. The Ni-Bi-O/ZSM-5(1500) catalyst exhibits high selectivity for the oxidative conversion of n-butane to ethylene and propylene, while the NiO-Bi12SiO20-Bi2SiO5/ZSM-5(280) catalyst shows high olefinic selectivity.

Xiushuai Guan et al.

Summary: Metal-modified nanomaterials, such as metallic Bi self-doped Bi2SiO5 composites, have shown improved photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance.

Effect of direct-current biasing on the adjustable radio-frequency negative permittivity characteristics of Bi2SiO5/multiwall carbon nanotube metacomposites

Toton Haldar et al.

Summary: Metacomposites of Bi2SiO5 (BSO) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with adjustable negative permittivity were prepared using a hydrothermal method. The interconnected MWCNT formed a three-dimensional conductive network in the metacomposites, leading to the tunable negative permittivity attributed to the low-frequency plasmon resonance of free Drude carriers. The study also investigated the impact of direct current biasing voltage on the negative permittivity characteristics in the radio frequency region, providing a novel strategy for adjusting the negative permittivity value for potential applications in sensors.
