Book Description
The research work presented here is focused on nanotechnological synthetic approaches for transition metal oxide nanomaterials and their applications in heterogeneous catalysis and adsorptive desulfurization reactions. Here, we discuss the controllable synthesis of functional nanomaterials and investigation of their structure-activity relationship in multiphase catalytic and sorption reactions. Among transition metal oxides, Co3O4 is well known for the presence of mobile oxygen, and thus is more reactive towards oxidation reactions. Aerobic oxidation under additive free conditions is highly desirable in organic synthesis reactions, from the viewpoint of green and sustainable chemistry. We demonstrate the activity enhancement of mesoporous cobalt oxide materials by substitutional doping of molybdenum ions. We discuss the surface chemistry in the production of active metal oxide nanoparticles and effect of lattice deformation on creating surface defects. High conversion and selectivity was achieved by controlling the surface area, Lewis acidity, and oxygen vacancy density of the solid catalyst in the liquid phase dehydrogenative coupling reactions. Synthesis of high surface area mesoporous cobalt molybdenum mixed metal oxide materials was accomplished using surfactant assisted inverse micelle method. The cobalt molybdenum oxide materials were investigated as a efficient desulfurization sorbent in a fixed bed reactor at low temperatures ( C).

Book Description
In this thesis, I will focus on the synthesis of transition metal oxide/sulfide-based composite materials for different types of environmental and sustainable energy applications under ambient conditions. Controlled synthesis of these catalysts with unique crystalline structures, physical, and chemical properties will be carried out to achieve an improved catalytic activity. The correlations between the material structure and catalytic activity will be investigated by various characterization techniques. Finally, the catalytic activities for the resulting materials will be evaluated for environmental friendly photocatalytic dye degradation and electrochemical water splitting reaction, respectively.

Book Description
The research work presented in this thesis is focused on design, synthesis, and characterization of transition metal oxide nanomaterials for environmental and energy applications. New synthetic techniques are designed and optimized for improved catalytic activity of the prepared materials over the conventional techniques. The nanomaterials were thoroughly characterized and used in various chemical reactions. There are five chapters in this thesis. Chapter one provides background information and significance about four research projects presented in this thesis. Chapter two explains the catalyst design and single step synthesis of mesoporous sulfated zirconia using inverse micelle templated method for biodiesel production. This inverse micelle templated single step synthesis method for sulfated metal oxide solid acid is novel and provides high thermal stability and better catalytic activity than nonporous sulfated materials. Chapter three describes the synthesis of artificial antibody-like binding sites on silica nanoparticle using molecular imprinting technique. Human serum albumin (HSA) and glucose oxidase (GOx) proteins were used as templates to prepare artificial antibodies. Our results showed that the template proteins, HAS and GOx, bind much more strongly to their respective artificial antibodies than other non-templated proteins. Chapter four discusses a facile synthesis of cobalt oxide/cobalt sulfide carbon (carbon nanotube or graphene oxide) hybrid material for electrocatalytic hydrogen production. Finally, chapter five suggests the mild transformation of mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO2) into black titanium dioxide nanomaterial with H2/Ar under ambient pressure. Reduced of the prepared TiO2 material also led to different colored TiO2 (yellow, gray, black) depending on reaction time and temperature. The correlation between color, structure, and reactivity of these materials was presented in this chapter.
