(CENT), KFUPM. His current research focus

comprises material synthesis, structural

characterization, reactions involving

microporous & mesoporous materials including

2D (such as reduced graphene oxide, sulfides

etc.), materials, and carbonaceous conductive

materials in the field of catalysis. His work is

devoted to research from fundamentals to be

applied in catalysis, with emphasis on the

development and deployment of

nanotechnologies to produce energy and

chemicals. He conducts research on catalytic

reactions encountered in the petroleum and

petrochemicals including hydrogen production

through electrocatalytic and photo-

electrocatalytic water splitting.

One of his main research interests is in the

catalytic conversion of methane to syngas via

dry reforming of methane using carbon dioxide

as the oxidizing agent. He is interested in the

production of syngas through dry reforming of

methane and catalytic conversion of syngas to

olefins via OX-ZEO process. One of the

challenges of the dry reforming reaction is

catalyst deactivation due to carbonaceous

deposits (coke) on catalyst surfaces during the

reaction which is the most common reason for

catalyst deactivation, i.e. loss of catalytic

activity. The ultimate objective of his research in

this area is to design a catalyst that is stable and

~100% selective for the desired product.

Abstract

This patent describes a method for manufacturing a palladium-coated doped metal

oxide conducting electrode. The electrode is made by immersing a metal oxide

conducting electrode in an aqueous solution containing a palladium precursor salt to

form the metal oxide conducting electrode having at least one surface coated with

palladium precursor. The palladium precursor on the metal oxide conducting electrode

is reduced with a borohydride compound to form a layer of palladium nanoparticles.

The palladium nanoparticles on the metal oxide conducting electrode have a diameter

ranging from 8 to 22 nm and are present on the surface of the electrode at a density

from 1.5 x 10-3Pd·nm-2 to 3.5 x 10-3Pd·nm-2. The prepared palladium coated doped

metal oxide conducting electrode showed good electrocatalytic properties towards

hydrogen peroxide, catechol, and hydroquinone.

“Facile synthesis of ultrathin interconnected carbon nanosheets as a robust support for small and uniformly-

dispersed iron phosphide for the hydrogen evolution reaction”Munzir. H. Suliman, Alaaldin Adam, Mohammad N. Siddiqui, Zain H.Yamani, Mohammad Qamar,

Carbon, Volume 144, April 2019, Pages 764-771

Abstract

Supports play a crucial role in determining the catalytic activity, selectivity and

overall performance of supported catalytic nanoassemblies. Herein, ultrathin

interconnected carbon nanosheets (CN) are prepared and used as a robust

support for the dispersion of iron phosphide (FeP) nanoparticles. The resulting

catalytic system was evaluated as low-cost electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution

reaction (HER). Carbon is derived from carbonization of sodium citrate in a sinfge

step which is interconnected in the form of ultrathin nanosheets (thickness

<5 nm) with high surface area. Such morphological features of carbon promoted

the growth of small FeP nanocrystals with better dispersion qualities. As a result,

the electrode comprising FeP-modified ultrathin interconnected carbon

nanosheets (FeP/CN) exhibits excellent HER performance both in acidic and basic

electrolytes. The electrode requires small onset overpotential, and possesses high

turnover frequency (TOF), in addition to excellent operational stability. The

performance of FeP/CN electrode is compared with that of commercial carbon-

supported platinum (Pt/C) and supportless FeP nanoparticles. The superior

performance of the electrode comprising FeP/CN is correlated to the specific

surface area, electrochemically active surface area, interfacial charge transfer

resistance and the TOF.



“Facile fabrication of superhydrophobic, superoleophilicphotocatalytic membrane for efficient oil-water separation

and removal of hazardous organic pollutants”U. Baig, A. Matin, M.A. Gondal, S.M. Zubair

Journal of Cleaner Production, Vol. 208, issue, 2019, pp: 904-915Abstract

In this work, the fabrication and characterization of a dual-purpose membrane is

reported. The membrane is capable of the following: (i) oil-water separation with high

efficiency, and (ii) effective and rapid photocatalytic degradation of hazardous

environmental pollutants. Nanoparticles of a rare-earth oxide, cerium (IV) oxide,

synthesized by a simple co-precipitation technique, were spray-coated onto stainless

steel membranes to obtain a uniform coating with superwetting characteristics. The as-

synthesized cerium (IV) oxide nanoparticles and its spray-coated stainless steel

membrane were characterized by advanced analytical techniques. X-ray diffraction,

selected-area electron diffraction, and electron microscopy results of the cerium oxide

particles showed a high degree of crystallinity and uniform particle size of ∼50 nm.

Elemental surface analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows the

characteristic peaks for Ce4+, thereby confirming the presence of cerium oxide

nanoparticles. Contact angle measurements indicates that the coated membranes are

superhydrophobic (∼150°) and superoleophilic (∼0°). When used in a simple laboratory

setup, the membranes were able to separate oil and water with a high efficiency (∼99%).

Furthermore, the coated membrane shows enhanced photocatalytic activity under UV

light irradiation resulting in the rapid degradation of persistent organic pollutants such as

MB dye in water. To summarize, this work presents an innovative approach in the

application of multifunctional membranes for effective water treatment.



Fabrication of nanostructured Pd thin films using aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition for the nonenzymatic

electrochemical detection of H2O2Muhammad Ali Ehsan, Md. Mahedi Hasan, Tamanna Islam, Md. Delwar Hossain, Md. Abdul Aziz,

and A J Saleh AhammadACS Journal of Applied Electronic Materials

Abstract

An improved and facile aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) process for the

production of palladium thin film on indium tin oxide (PdNP-ITO) electrodes was described and

applied for the electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The detailed characterization

of the films by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray

(SEM/EDX) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis proved the high

crystallinity and phase purity of the nanosized metallic palladium films without the evolution of any

elemental impurities from the precursor compound. The as-prepared electrodes were used for

nonenzymatic amperometric H2O2 detection via electrochemical reduction. The LOD was 40.8 nM

with a high sensitivity of 760.84 μA/μM cm2. From the experimental scan rate variation analysis, the

reduction of H2O2 on the PdNP-ITO electrode surface was determined to be adsorption controlled.

For this process of adsorption, we calculated the number of electrons involved during adsorption (n),

the charge transfer coefficient (α) and, finally, the rate constant (ks). The process of adsorption of

H2O2 on each of the characteristic metallic planes was further studied via Monte Carlo simulations

(MCSs). We accounted for both molecular O2 and H2O during the simulations to understand the

effects of oxygen and solvent on adsorption since all experiments were conducted in an air-saturated

solution. Several numbers of the adsorbate-metal substrate configurations were obtained for the

simulations on each crystalline Pd plane, confirming the firm adsorption of H2O2 in the presence of

O2 and H2O. Based on analysis of the results from the electroanalytical procedures and MCSs,

possible reduction reaction mechanism pathways were proposed.
