3D Bioplotter Research Papers

In this study, we successfully fabricated a three-dimensional Co3O4@SiO2 3D Monolith catalyst. This process allowed for the effective and straightforward anchoring of Co3O4 nanoparticles onto SiO2 3D Monoliths. The active Co3O4 phase was primarily identified through XRD and XPS analyses, complemented by Co3O4 loading measurements (1.7 %). This innovative catalyst displayed remarkable proficiency in selectively converting propane to carbon dioxide. Additionally, it was demonstrated that the catalytic activity remained unimpaired even upon the catalyst’s reuse in 5 successive reaction cycles. This performance was observed across various heating ramps, showcasing the catalyst’s stability over time.
