in this work, the practicality of catalytic surfaces of nano-structured co3o4 and mnco2o4 for the adsorption and neutralization reactions of dimethyl methyl phosphonate (dmmp) as an toxic agricultural organo-phosphorous pesticide has been investigated. the co3o4 and mnco2o4 nps have been successfully prepared by precipitation method using cobalt nitrate and manganese nitrate as the precursors a...

Nanosized metal oxides dispersed polymer composites constitute a fascinating class of polymer composite materials. Synthesis of such composite materials through solvent casting enhances the polymer synthetic technology. Solvent casting method was used to prepare Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) dispersed Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nano composite<span style="text-decoration: und...

Hematite (α-Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) nanowires with the diameter of about 100 nm and the length of tens of micrometers have been selectively synthesized by a microemulsion-based method in combination of the calcinations under different atmosphere. The effects of the precursors, annealing temperature, and atmosphere on the morphology and the structure of the products have been investigated. ...

Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is one of the key features for efficient functioning several energy conversion devices such as fuel cells, appearing necessity development new low-cost catalyst materials. Heteroatom-doped carbon materials have attracted attention in this field due to its physicochemical and electronic properties. In work, a nitrogen sulfur doped material with anchored Co3O4 nano...

Nanostructured core/shell electrodes have been experimentally demonstrated promising for high-performance electrochemical energy storage devices. However, chemical insights into the significant roles of nanowire cores on the growth of shells and their supercapacitor behaviors still remain as a research shortfall. In this work, by substituting 1/3 cobalt in the Co3O4 nanowire core with nickel, a...

We present herein the first in situ site-selective XAS experiment performed on a proof-of-principle transformation of a mixed-valence compound: the calcination of the K0.1Co(II)4[Co(III)(CN)6]2.7·20H2O Prussian Blue analogue (containing Co(2+) and Co(3+) ions in two different Oh sites) into Co3O4 (containing Co(2+) ions in a Td site and Co(3+) in an Oh site). By recording the Co K-edge X-ray ab...

Nickel, cobalt, and manganese oxides are easily obtainable non-noble metal catalysts for water splitting. However, the relationship between composition catalysts’ performance still needs systematic studies. Herein, guided by theoretical calculations, a low overpotential, prepared Mn-doped Co3O4 was deposited on graphite plates The 30% (Co2.1Mn0.9O4) required lowest overpotential oxygen evolutio...

The effect of ruthenium on the physico-chemical properties of CeZr and CeZrCo mixed oxides for H2 production by glycerol steam reforming reaction has been studied. The combination of in situ Raman spectroscopy under both reductive and oxidative conditions, H2/O2 pulses and XRD, Raman, BET analysis, H2-TPR and TPD-TPO analyses contributed to the determination of the structural and textural prope...
