In order to improve the efficiency and rate of heat transfer in heat exchangers, various techniques such as increasing the heat transfer coefficient are proposed. This study is devoted to the investigation of heat transfer coefficient variations due to the addition of CuO, TiO2 and CuO/TiO2 nanoparticles into a shell and tube heat exchanger. CuO/TiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized using mechanic...

Nanosizedceria (n-CeO2) was synthesized by a facile method in 2-methylimidazolesolution. The characterization results of XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, Raman and TEM indicate that n-CeO2 shows regular size 10 ± 1 nm, high surface area 130 m2·g−1 oxygen vacancies on the surface. A series CuO/n-CeO2 catalysts (CuCeOX) with different copper loading were prepared for preferential oxidation CO H2-ri...

In this study, the effects of treatment with Ag, Au, Cu, Pd, CeO2, CuO, TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) on plant secondary metabolism were tested using an untargeted metabolomic approach in cell suspension cultures Hypericum perforatum L. Variations accumulation metabolites observed after exposure to NPs. Overall, number compounds increased by metal NPs was higher than that oxides. Among oxide...

this study reports the simple process to synthesis of cuo/cui nanocomposite in a non-aqueous solution. in the conducted experiments cui and dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) were used as the precursors. moreover, dmso had role of solvent and ligand simultaneously. in experiments the effects of oleic acid as the particles size modifier, temperature and concentration were investigated. crystalline struct...

The demand for new, thermally conducting light weight and anti-corrosive materials is tried by incorporating Copper Oxide (CuO) nano powder in polyethylene matrix material. A laboratory level electro deposition technique is adopted here to prepare Copper Oxide (CuO) nano particles. Their phase composition is confirmed with X-Ray diffraction peaks and verified with standard JCPDS file for Copper...

The reduction of CuO dispersed on ̄uorite-type oxide catalysts, namely La-doped CeO2 and Y-doped ZrO2 was studied in this work. On both supports distinct copper species were identi®ed as a function of copper content by temperatureprogrammed reduction (TPR) by H2 and CH4, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning transmission electron microscopy/energy d...

By using CuO/graphene-oxide/CuO sandwich-like nanosheets as the building blocks, bulk nacre-inspired copper matrix nano-laminated composite reinforced by molecular-level dispersed and ordered reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with content as high as ∼45 vol% was fabricated via a combined process of assembly, reduction and consolidation. Thanks to nanoconfinement effect, reinforcing effect, as well a...

Copper oxide (CuO)-decorated cerium oxide (CeO₂) nanoparticles were synthesized and used to detect glucose non-enzymatically. The morphological characteristics and structure of the nanoparticles were characterized through transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The sensor responses of electrodes to glucose were investigated via an electrochemic...

ZnO-CuO nanocomposite thin films were prepared by carbothermal evaporation of ZnO and Cu, combined with annealing. The effects of 90 MeV Ni(7+) ion irradiation on the structural and optical properties of ZnO-CuO nanocomposites were studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. XRD studies...
