Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) has attracted considerable attention as a technology to recycle carbon dioxide (CO2) into raw materials for chemicals using renewable energies. In this study, the electrocatalytic CO2RR activity of Zn-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) was studied. LDHs loaded sheets were prepared, and RR performed CO2-saturated KHCO3 electrolyte confirm catalyti...

Nanoporous gold (np-Au), because of its high surface area-to-volume ratio, excellent conductivity, chemical inertness, physical stability, biocompatibility, easily tunable pores, and plasmonic properties, has attracted much interested in the field of nanotechnology. It has promising applications in the fields of catalysis, bio/chemical sensing, drug delivery, biomolecules separation and purific...

Tris-1,10-phenanthroline manganese(II) complex was synthesized by microwave irradiation. The synthesized complex was characterized by UV-visible and FT-IR spectroscopy. Its electrochemical behaviour was examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The tris-1,10-phenanthroline manganese(II) complex was used for the electrochemical sensing of catechol. The manganese ion gets reduced as the oxidation of c...

The LiMn2O4 hollow nanofibers with a porous structure have been synthesized by modified electrospinning techniques and subsequent thermal treatment. The precursors were electrospun directly onto the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass. The heating rate and FTO as substrate play key roles on preparing porous hollow nanofiber. As cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), LiMn2O4 hollow...

A novel dinuclear Cu(II) complex material has been synthesized by the reaction of 1, 2-phenylenedioxydiacetic acid, 1,10-phenantroline (phen) and Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O. And it has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to tetragonal, space group I41/a with a = b = 25.381(4) Å, c = 32.044(6) Å, V = 20643(6) Å, Z = 16, Dc= 1.395 g·cm, ...
