In the current paper, a NiO nanoparticles-loaded mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) catalyst, denoted as NiO/CMK-3, has been successfully synthesized using a facile strategy. The as-prepared material has been characterized through XRD, Raman spectroscopy, low-temperature N physisorption measurements, FTIR, FE-SEM, TEM, and XPS. The as-fabricated NiO/CMK-3 catalyst manifested a superior activity in the NaBH-assisted reduction of methylene blue (MB) dye to its colorless leuco form.

- The study investigates the effects of adding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at varying concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 3%, and 5%) to improve the properties of polylactic acid (PLA).
- The characterization techniques used, such as FT-IR and TGA, showed that CNTs were uniformly dispersed within the PLA matrix and enhanced its crystallinity.
- Mechanical tests showed that while the incorporation of CNTs increased elongation at break, it slightly decreased tensile strength, with the best performance observed in the PLA-3% CNTs composition in terms of mechanical flexibility and thermal stability.
Facile solvothermal techniques were used to manufacture ZnS/1T-2H MoS nanocomposite (ZMS) with outstanding adsorption-photocatalytic activity. The formed catalyst was characterized by different tools; XRD, HR-TEM, EDX, FTIR, Raman, Nadsorprion/desorption, Zeta potential, PL,and XPS. The analysis provided the formation on mixed phase of metallic 1Tand 2H phases.
