x-ray photoelectron and electron energy loss spectroscopic (xps-eels) studies reveal that the following species are present when a mixture of co2 and water vapour is exposed to the clean mg(100) surface at 110k: co3(a), c(a) ch(a), oh(a). the reactive chemisorptions of co2 and h2o vapour coadsorbed on a mg surface leads to the formation of ch bond. increasing the temperature to 400 k shows the ...

In the present work, Bi2S3 nanostructures have been synthesized with the aid of thioglycollic acid (TGA) a solvent, capping agent, and sulfide source in the presence of ultrasonic method. The as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The band gap ...

in this work, for the first time, the rheological properties of nanofluids of lanthania nanoparticles (nps) in ethylene glycol (eg) as functions of shear rate, volume fraction, and temperature were measured. the results showed that both eg and the nanofluids behave as non-newtonian fluids at lower shear rates and transform to newtonian fluids at higher shear rates. the values of viscosity for b...

Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using Arabic gum as a biotemplate andmagnesium nitrate as the magnesium source by the sol-gel method. This method has manyadvantages such as nontoxic, economic viability, ease to scale up, less time consuming andenvironmental friendly approach for the synthesis of MgO nanoparticles without using anyorganic chemicals. Nanoparticles were characterize...

The use of plant extract is generating the interest of researchers toward cost effective,nontoxic, economic viability and eco-friendly green synthesis of nanoparticles. In the presentwork, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized using black tea extract and zinc nitrateas the zinc source by the sol-gel method. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles werecharacterized by powder X-ray diffractio...

Titania, single-doped and lanthanum-silver co-doped titania nanocomposite were coated on cellulosic and polyacrylonitrile fibers via sol–gel method. The prepared samples were evaluated using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photolumines...

Depth sensitivities: Research into the initial stages of hydrogenation in a material necessitates the use of a variety of methods that provide the capabilities for characterization of structure and bonding with distinct depth sensitivities. This study makes extensive use of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and soft x-r...
