This work presents the recent progress in nanostructured materials used as positive electrodes in Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Three classes of host lattices for lithium insertion are considered: transition-metal oxides V2O5, α-NaV2O5, α-MnO2, olivine-like LiFePO4, and layered compounds LiNi0.55Co0.45O2, LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 and Li2MnO3. First, a brief description of the preparation methods shows th...

Nanotechnology is the formation, running and use of operation at the nanomaterial size scale (1-100 nm). Nanoscale materials can also be obtained by biological synthesis materials via eco-friendly green chemistry based technique. Current development and numerous strategies involved in the green synthesis of nanoparticles were focussed. This review mainly focused on plants which include scientif...

In this study CuO nano sheets were prepared using the cellulose extracted from green synthesis (cotton) as a novel me project. Structural properties were examined using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Ultra Violet (UV-Vis). The optimum copper oxide peak was at 2 theta 〖35.44〗^°corresponding to (1 ̅11) while for the cellulose was 〖22.8〗^°correspon...

A rapid and efficient method for the synthesis of bis-thiazolidinones has been achieved by pseudo five-component reaction of aldehydes, ethylenediamine and thioglycolic acid in the presence of nano-NiZr4(PO4)6 as catalyst under microwave irradiation. Nano-NiZr4(PO4)6 has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), v...

The increasing attention being paid to metallic nano particles (MNPs) is due to their intensive applications in different areas of science such as medicine, chemistry, agriculture, and biotechnology. The main methods for nanoparticle production are chemical and physical approaches that are often costly and potentially harmful to the environment. Since the eco-frien...

Water is a versatile solvent in many ways, and in this sense performing organic reactions in this medium is now of great interest. The one-pot reaction of ethyl acetoacetate or benzyl acetoacetate, with benzaldehydes and malononitrile to provide some novel 6-amino-4-aryl-5-cyano-2-methyl-4H-pyran-3-carboxylates has been performed over nano MgO with high performance in water as a green solvent a...

In this work, Nano TiO2@KSF used as an efficient, homogeneous and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d]-pyrimidinone derivatives via three-component reactions between malononitrile, barbituric acid and various aldehydes in water. The products were formed in high yields within short reaction times. Also, this catalyst can be reused several times without loss of its catalytic activ...

MCM-41@L-Arg@Pd(0) has been prepared by some consequence reactions. This nano structural material has been characterized via different technique including: XRD, TGA, BET, EDS, X-Ray maps, SEM, ICP-OES and FT-IR analysis. The synthesis of a variety of biphenyl compounds has been achieved successfully via a reaction of aryl halides with arylboronic acids in the presence of this nanostructure (MCM...

In the present paper, using a cathodic pin-to-solution electrical discharge electrolysis setup, interaction of the atmospheric air plasma with aqueous solution of copper nitrate and its possibility for synthesis of nano-materials is investigated. An AC (50 Hz) high-voltage power supply (5 kV) with rectified current is used for electrical discharge of the air between a metal pin and the solution...
