Enhanced photocatalytic and electrochemical performance of hydrothermally prepared NiO-doped Co nanocomposites.

In this study, we synthesize nanostructured nickel oxide (NiO) and doped cobalt (Co) by combining nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate (NiCl.6HO) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as initial substances. We analyzed the characteristics of the product nanostructures, including their structure, optical properties, and magnetic properties, using various techniques such as x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometers (VSM).

Vibrational spectra, NBO, HOMO-LUMO and conformational stability studies of 4-hydroxythiobenzamide.

In this work, the experimental and theoretical study on molecular structure, vibrational spectral analysis of 4-hydroxythiobenzamide (HTB) have been reported. The solid phase FTIR (4000-400 cm(-1)) and FT-Raman spectra (3500-50 cm(-1)) were recorded. The molecular geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies and bonding features of HTB in the ground-state have been calculated by the density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-311+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) as basis sets.
