Integrated synthesis and comprehensive characterization of TiO2/AgBi2S3 ternary thin films via SILAR method.

AgBiS, a copious and innocuous ternary metal chalcogenide affiliated with the I-V-IV group of semiconductors, was synthesized. With an energy gap of 1.2eV, it closely matches the optimal 1.

One-Pot Synthesis of Ruthenium-Based Nanocatalyst Using Reduced Graphene Oxide as Matrix for Electrochemical Synthesis of Ammonia.

Conventional ammonia production consumes significant energy and causes enormous carbon dioxide (CO) emissions globally. To lower energy consumption and mitigate CO emissions, a facile, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective one-pot method for the synthesis of a ruthenium-based nitrogen reduction nanocatalyst has been developed using reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as a matrix. The nanocatalyst synthesis was based on a single-step simultaneous reduction of RuCl into ruthenium-based nanoparticles (Ru-based NPs) and graphene oxide (GO) into rGO using glucose as the reducing agent and stabilizer.
