Artificial photosynthesis is a very attractive and a desirable way to solve the rising energy demand. In order to harvest energy directly from sunlight catalyst for oxygen reduction and evolution reaction are at the core of key renewable-energy technologies including fuel cells and water splitting. Herein, tungsten oxide-reduced graphene oxide (WO3-rGO), cobalt oxidereduced graphene oxide (Co3O...

Introduction Various forms of carbon nanomaterials such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, Nano diamonds and other carbon nanomaterial’s have been rapidly developed not only for their unusual electrical and mechanical properties, but also for their potential use in Nano fluidic device [1-9]. Since 2003 Kawase et al. [10] reported the synthesis of the first Nano rings, a family of similar material...

The effect of nanostructured supports on the activity of Rh catalysts was studied by comparing the catalytic performance of nanoand bulk-oxide supported Rh/ZnO, Rh/SiO2 and Rh/TiO2 systems in 1-hexene hydroformylation. The highest activity with 100% total conversion and 96% yield of aldehydes was obtained with the Rh/nano-ZnO catalyst. The Rh/nano-ZnO catalyst was found to be more stable and ac...

Ag4Bi2O5/MnO2 nano-sized material was synthesized by a co-precipitation method in concentrated KOH solution. The morphology characterization indicates that MnO2 nanoparticles with a size of 20 nm are precipitated on the surface of nano Ag4Bi2O5, forming a structure like corn on the cob. The obtained material with 60% Mn offers slightly higher initial potential (0.098 V vs. Hg/HgO) and limiting ...

We propose a novel semiconductor compatible path for nano-graphene synthesis using precursors containing C-Br bonding and liquid catalyst. The unique combination of CBr4 as precursor and Ga as catalyst leads to efficient C precipitation at a synthesis temperature of 200 °C or lower. The non-wetting nature of liquid Ga on tested substrates limits nano-scale graphene to form on Ga droplets and su...

A supported trimetallic nano catalyst and a fixed bed catalytic process have been developed for the conversion of CO2 + H2O (in the form of steam) + 1% H2 to alcohol and propyne The mixture of CO2 +H2O and H2 is passed over Ru:Mn:Ni nano catalyst dispersed on a high surface area antase titanium dioxide catalyst support at 773 K and at atmospheric pressure with the gas space velocity of 6000-700...

Nano-dispersed Fe and Fe3O4 on reduced graphene oxide (Fe /Fe3O4-RGO) was prepared and characterized. The prepared Fe/Fe3O4-RGO was used as a magnetically separable Fenton-like catalyst and showed superior catalytic activity compared to Fe3O4-RGO and Fe3O4 as well as other Fenton-like catalysts for the removal of phenol. The Fe/Fe3O4-RGO achieved 100% removal efficiency for phenol within 30 min...

An efficient, simple and convenient route is described for the synthesis of biscoumarin (3,3'-(arylmethylene) bis (4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one)) by using of recyclable catalyst TiO2@KSF. In this Method, we synthesis biscoumarin derivatives via 3multi-component reactions (3MCRs) of two equivalent 4-hydroxycoumarin with one equivalent of aromatic aldehydes using 20 mg nano TiO2@KSF as homogeneous ...

Nano-structure of Co–Mn spinel oxide was prepared by thermal decomposition method using [Co(NH3)4CO3]MnO4 as the precursor. The properties of the synthesized material were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), surface area measurements, Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy analys...
