Co3 O4 , which is of mixed valences Co(2+) and Co(3+) , has been extensively investigated as an efficient electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The proper control of Co(2+) /Co(3+) ratio in Co3 O4 could lead to modifications on its electronic and thus catalytic properties. Herein, we designed an efficient Co3 O4 -based OER electrocatalyst by a plasma-engraving strategy, which...

Co3 O4 -modified CeO2 (Co/Ce 1:4) was prepared by a combination of sol-gel processing and solvothermal treatment. The distribution of Co was controlled by means of the synthesis protocol to yield three different morphologies, namely, Co3 O4 nanoparticles located on the surface of CeO2 particles, coexistent Co3 O4 and CeO2 nanoparticles, or Co oxide structures homogeneously distributed within Ce...

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are one of the most promising types of candidates for energy-storage applications due to confined thicknesses and high surface areas, which would play an essential role in enhanced reaction kinetics. Herein, a universal process that can be extended for scale up is developed to synthesise ultrathin cobalt-/nickel-based hydroxides and oxides. The sodium and lith...

با توجه به اهمیت حذف یون استرانسیم موجود در پساب‌­های هسته­ای، کار حاضر ضمن سنتز لیگاندهای هیدروکسی بنزآلدهید پروپیل تری اتوکسی سیلان (Si-HL3(EtO)) و پیریدیل متیلیدین (Si-L3(EtO)) بررسی خصوصیات نانو ذرات سیلیکای اصلاح ­شده این لیگاندها ­عنوان جاذب جامد از محلول آبی پرداخته شد پارامترهایی مانند pH، زمان، جرم جاذب، دما یون‌­های مزاحم مورد آزمایش قرار گرفت. رفتار جذبی جاذ­ب‌­ها نشان داد سطح توانای...

The rapid kinetics of bacterial U(VI) reduction and low solubility of uraninite (UO2,cr) make this process an attractive option for removing uranium from groundwater. Nevertheless, conditions that may promote or inhibit U(VI) reduction are not well-defined. Recent descriptions of Ca-UO2-CO3 complexes indicate that these species may dominate the aqueous speciation of U(VI) in many environments. ...
