Article Abstract

In this study, we have described the synthesis of core@shell three-way catalyst with well-dispersed Pd nanoparticles which were intercalated into halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) material via ligand assistance. The prepared parameters of Pd@HNTs catalyst included amine source, the molar ratio of amine and aldehyde, and the addition of CeO promoter. As a result, Pd@HNTs performed a good dispersion of Pd particles and high stability, which is attributed to the strong interaction between Pd and HNTs with Schiff base ligands and the high thermal resistance of HNTs as a sintering barrier. Moreover, the results of various characteristic analyses revealed that Pd@HNT-E12 (ethylenediamine: salicylaldehyde in a molar ratio of 1:2) exhibited the highest gases conversion to the others, which has excellent redox ability. Furthermore, the addition of CeO, which acted as both a promoter and a protector, could provide more oxygen vacancies for promoting NO reduction and CO and CH oxidation at gradually elevated temperatures. Such core-shell catalyst Ce@Pd@HNT-E12 could avoid excess CeO penetrating into the pore volume of halloysite support and facilitate the three-way catalytic reaction.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is an important plastic, but it has disadvantages such as flammability and high smoke emission, making it urgent to develop green and efficient flame retardants. Inspired by the structure and growth mechanism of coral, we utilized the bio-based polysaccharide material chitosan (CS) to uniformly deposit zinc hydroxystannate (ZHS) onto the surface of halloysite nanotube (HNT), thereby preparing an organic-inorganic nanocomposite flame retardant CS-Zn@HNT. The introduction of CS improved the compatibility of HNT and ZHS in PVC, and CS-Zn@HNT exhibited excellent flame retardant, smoke suppression, and mechanical properties.
