Abstract:
This work investigates the formation of oil-in-water Pickering emulsions stabilized by pure-silica Beta zeolite without surface grafting. In comparison with previous intrinsic amphiphilic zeolite reports, i.e., layer and fibrous morphology, highly dispersed nanosized spherical morphology endows Beta zeolite with excellent Pickering emulsion stabilization performance. Moreover, the zeolite channel is essential to make the particle lipophilic. In addition to the hydrophilic surface silanol, amphiphilicity is achieved, which is essential to stabilize Pickering emulsions. Subsequently, palladium nanoparticles were deposited on the Beta zeolite, successfully catalyzing the hydrogenation of nitroarenes in the cyclohexane/water emulsion system.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
