For the first time this study reported the success of using nanocrystalline hexagonal close-packed (hcp) nickel (Ni) modified composite graphite (CG) electrode (hcp-nano Ni/CG) for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol in alkaline medium (0.1 M KOH). The hcp-nano Ni/CG electrode had an improve response and specificity on the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol over the bare CG. The elec...

Metal matrix nano composite coatings possess enhanced properties such as corrosion and wear resistance. This paper aims to study the corrosion behavior of pure Co and Co-BN nano composite coatings deposited with different particles concentration (5-20 g L-1) on copper substrates using electroplating technique. Morphology and elemental compositions of the coatings were investigated by means of s...

Coatings of carbon nanoparticles dispersed in SiO2, ZnO and NiO matrices on aluminium substrates have been fabricated by a sol–gel technique. Spectrophotometry was used to determine the solar absorptance and the thermal emittance of the composite coatings with a view to apply these as selective solar absorber surfaces in solar thermal collectors. Cross-sectional high resolution transmission ele...

In the present study, composite layer double hydroxide-metal oxide (Ni/Al-TiO2 and Ni/Al-ZnO) was successfully prepared used as catalyst of oxidative desulfurization dibenzothiophene. Characterization XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDS. The structure Ni/Al-LDH, TiO2, ZnO in Ni/Al-TiO2 Ni/Al-ZnO consistent, which also indicated that preparation did not change form precursors. FTIR spectra absorption band at 339...

The defect formation energies of transition metals (Cr, Fe, and Ni) doped in the pseudo-H passivated ZnO nanowires and bulk are systematically investigated using first-principles methods. The general chemical trends of the nanowires are similar to those of the bulk. We also show that the formation energy increases as the diameter of the nanowire decreases, indicating that the doping of magnetic...

Wastewater from many sectors that contains hazardous organic pollutants exacerbates environmental contamination. Consequently, outstanding photocatalytic substances can successfully degrade are needed to provide pollution-free water. From this perspective, zinc oxide/g-C3N4-based composites desirable due their low cost, strong reactivity, and friendliness. So, in the current investigation, sequ...
