Herein, the synthesis of pure and modified mesoporous nanocrystalline NiO is reported. The catalyst was with different wt % F-ions or K2O used to produce Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) as a potential fuel/solvent. XRD analysis promoted catalysts confirmed formation Ni-metal covered by host oxide, compared NiO, especially for x F-ions. CO2-TPD results demonstrated existence basic sites over these var...

The use of nanometric size materials as embedded clusters, nanometric films, nanocrystalline layers and nanostructures is steadily increasing in industrial processes aiming to produce materials and devices. This is especially true in today Si-based microelectronics with transistors made of a multitude of different thin film materials (B-, As-, and P-doped Si, NiSi(Pt), poly-Si, W, TiOx, LaO, Si...
