A facile green chemistry carbonization method has been discovered for the synthesis of uniform silver@carbon rich composite (carbon and cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol) core-shell sub-microcables in large quantities, where the carbon sources such as glucose-based saccharides have played important roles in the formation of these novel sub-microcables.

Electrochemically active composite film containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and vitamin B(12) was synthesized on glassy carbon, gold, and indium tin oxide electrodes by the potentiodynamic method. The presence of MWCNTs in the composite film (MWCNT-B(12)) modified electrode mediates vitamin B(12)'s redox reaction, whereas vitamin B(12)'s redox reaction does not occur at bare electr...

in this paper, the electrochemical hydrogen storage in nanocomposite materials was studied. multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) electrode was prepared by mixing with special composite. the optimum ratio of mwcnts was estimated 30-70% (w/w) in the composite material. mwcnts were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd). the nanocomposite was homogenized by microwave. cyclic voltammetry ...

Practical application of hydrogen production from water splitting relies strongly on the development of low-cost and high-performance electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The previous researches mainly focused on transition metal nitrides as HER catalysts due to their electrical conductivity and corrosion stability under acidic electrolyte, while tungsten nitrides have report...

Composite electrodes consisting of Pt nanoparticles-supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes grown directly on carbon paper (Pt/CNTs/carbon aper) have been synthesized by a new method using glacial acetic acid as a reducing agent. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show hat the Pt nanoparticles with high density and relative small in size (2–4 nm) were monodispersed on the surface o...

The removal of tributyltin (TBT) from artificial seawater using nZnO, activated carbon and nZnO/activated carbon composite was systematically studied. The equilibrium and kinetics of adsorption were investigated in a batch adsorption system. Equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm models. Pseudo first- and second-order...

Vulcan XC-72 carbon black particles (average size: ca. 50 nm) was incorporated into polyaniline (PANI) matrix by an electrochemical codeposition technique during the electropolymerization process. The doping by carbon particles leads to a higher polymeric degree and a lower defect density in the PANI structure. Furthermore, the incorporation of carbon particles not only increases the electroche...

In this report, we present a general method for a continuous gas-phase synthesis of size-selected metal/multi layer graphene (MLG) core shell nanoparticles having a narrow size distribution of metal core and MLG shell for direct deposition onto any desired substrate kept under clean vacuum conditions. Evolution of MLG signature is clearly observed as the metal-carbon agglomerates get transforme...
