Catalytic hydroprocesses play a significant role in oil refining and petrochemistry. The
tailored design of new metal nanosystems and optimization of their support, composition …

Heterogeneous catalysis benefits from some merits such as facile catalyst separation and
recyclability. In this context, use of halloysite that is a naturally occurring clay with tubular …

We have prepared new biohybrid materials based on halloysite nanotubes and natural
polymers (alginate and chitosan) for the controlled and sustained release of bioactive …

Halloysite nanoclay has been used as a natural support for the immobilization of an acidic
ionic liquid with multiple acidic sites. To graft the ionic liquid on the halloysite, amino …

Three Keggin-type heteropolyacids were impregnated upon halloysite to produce
heterogeneous acidic catalysts for synthesizing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) …

The use of clay minerals as catalyst is renowned since ancient times. Among the different
clays used for catalytic purposes, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) represent valuable resources …

Three different acidic ionic liquids were covalently grafted on halloysite to give
heterogeneous catalysts. The acidity of the catalysts was higher than halloysite and differed …

Sodium borohydride (NaBH 4) is an ideal chemical carrier of hydrogen due to its high
hydrogen release capacity via hydrolysis, however the reaction is restricted by a competent …

Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols to aldehydes and 2-naphthol to BINOL was achieved
by activation of molecular oxygen (O 2) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) over an iron-oxide …

Ionic liquid based systems are used to facilitate the cationic polymerization of isobutylene to
conventional grade polyisobutylene (PIB) using AlCl 3 as an initiator. Specifically, the …
