A variety of solid acid catalysts especially 12-Tungstophosphoricacid (DTP) supported on silica has been reported for the acylation of anisole, veratrole and toluene. However, the activity of this catalyst is susceptible to coke formation or poor activity. This paper reports the novelties of steam treated SiO2-DTP core-shell nanoparticles, which exhibits tremendous stability, high activity and enhanced selectivity in the liquid-phase acylation of anisole, veratrole and toluene as compared to conventional DTP supported on silica.

Fe3O4nanoparticle was synthesized in the solution involving water and ethanol. Then,α-Fe2O3shell was produced in situ on the surface of theFe3O4nanoparticle by surface oxidation in molten salts, formingα-Fe2O3/Fe3O4core-shell nanostructure. It was showed that the magnetic properties transformed from ferromagnetism to superparamagnetism after the primaryFe3O4nanoparticles were oxidized. Furthermore, the obtainedα-Fe2O3/Fe3O4core-shell nanoparticles were used to photocatalyse solution of methyl orange, and the results revealed thatα-Fe2O3/Fe3O4nanoparticles were more efficient than the self-preparedα-Fe2O3nanoparticles. At the same time, the photocatalyzer was recyclable by applying an appropriate magnetic field.

Low temperature fuel cells are one of the most promising systems for the transformation of fuels into electricity in an efficient, silent, and environmentally friendly manner. In this paper we show the advances accomplished in the synthesis and a theoretical-experimental analysis of the changes induced by the Ni@Pt structure and the presence of the almost unavoidable NiO species. The synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles is described and then physical and electrochemical characterizations confirm the presence of core-shell nanoparticles with a high electrochemical activity towards the Oxygen Reduction Reaction. Periodic density functional theory calculations are used to analyze the shift in the oxidation potential for Pt, Ni@Pt and NiO@Pt with different number of layers in the shell. The changes in the electrochemical activity towards oxygen reduction are evaluated by allowing oxygen to adsorb on the surface of the nanoparticle and alloys. It is found that only the first and second layers of Pt are being affected by the presence of the Ni or NiO core.
