Herein we report that the reaction of KMnO4 with cobalt nanoparticles coated with multiple graphene layers forms a promising catalyst toward water oxidation. The compound was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electronic spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atom...

Abstract Nickel based nano-catalysts, supported on bimetallic oxide support (i.e. Ni/Al 2 O 3 -MgO) were prepared by the co-precipitation (one step, Catalyst-A) and followed impregnation (two steps, Catalyst-B) techniques separately. The catalysts then tested for dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction. effect catalyst synthesis technique their performance has been analysed. -MgO nano-catalyst ...

In order to fill the research gap of high metal loading performance PtNi alloy catalysts, a PtNi/C nano-catalyst with more than 50 wt.% and core-shell like structure was prepared by ethylene glycol reduction, temperature annealing, acid pickling. The electrochemical test results showed that catalyst had excellent activity: surface area (ECSA) 63.8 m2·gPt?1, mass activity (MA) 0.574 A·mgPt?1, wh...

For comparative means, a current Au-TiO 2 catalyst was used or order to benchmark current standards for nano-Au catalysts. The Aurolite® catalyst is currently the only commercially produced Au-TiO 2 catalyst comprising of 1% Au (by mass) loaded on P25 type TiO 2 comprising approximately 20% rutile and 80% anatase. A second batch of catalysts was examined where the catalyst composition was simil...

A nano-capsule synthesized via self-catalyzed RCMP and its use as a heterogeneous catalyst nano-reactor of to generate multi-elemental particle.

The reaction of nano-cellulose and antimony pentachloridein dichloromethane gave nano-cellulose-SbCl5. Also nano-cellulose-SbCl5 has beencharacterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR).Nano-cellulose-SbCl5has been applied as a nano-catalyst for synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines from the simple on...

The conversion of methane to methanol over zeolitic a-oxygen sites has been demonstrated using Fe-ZSM-5. To discriminate between monoand poly-nuclear active sites, we prepared the [Fe]-ZEO with iron in the ZEOlite lattice via direct synthesis and Fex-ZEO, by dispersion of x wt.% iron on the ZEOlite. Shape-selective formation of nano-clusters of iron oxides with various sizes is realized inside ...

nickel doped tio2 nano particles (1% w/w) were prepared and immobilized on nax zeolite and after characterization by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) used as photo catalyts for degradation of orange g. the xrd patterns show that the supported tio2 are crystallized in anatase form and the intensity of the zeolite peaks decreases with the increase of tio2 loading. sc...

Direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) are a type of electrochemical energy conversion device that directly Convert the chemical energy stored in a liquid alcohol fuel, commonly methanol and ethanol, and also ethylene glycol, or npropanol, to electricity. Because of their simplicity, high energy density, instantaneous recharging, and presumably long life, DAFCs have been identified as the most promi...

in this paper, zno thin film is deposited on slide glass substrate using the sol-gel process. presenting well-defined orientation of zno thin films nanostructure were obtained by dip coating of zinc acetate dihydrate, monoethanolamine (mea), de-ionized water and isopropanol alcohol. the annealed zno thin films were transparent ca 85-90% in visible range with an absorption edges at about 375 nm....
