Single-Step Production of a TiO@MoS Heterostructure and Its Applications as a Supercapacitor Electrode and Photocatalyst for Reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III).

In this study, we have reported a one-step synthesis of a TiO@MoS heterostructure. TiO@MoS was synthesized using a facile and cost-effective method. The as-synthesized TiO@MoS heterostructure was characterized by suitable spectroscopic techniques.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Co-Doped Carbon Dots for Selective Detection of Nitro Explosives.

In this work, a highly selective and sensitive method has been developed for the detection of trinitrophenol (TNP), which is a dangerous explosive. For this purpose, N and P co-doped carbon dots (NP-Cdots) have been used. Synthesis of N and P co-doped carbon dots has been carried out by a simple and quick method.

Preparation of CdS-TiO-Based Palladium Heterogeneous Nanocatalyst by Solvothermal Route and Its Catalytic Activity for Reduction of Nitroaromatic Compounds.

In this study, bare CdS nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by solvothermal method using CdCl(3-methylbenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone) as a single-source molecular precursor in the presence of ethylene glycol. Further, these CdS NPs were used for the preparation of binary (CdS-TiO) and ternary (CdS-TiO/Pd) heterogeneous nanocatalysts. Characterization of the as-prepared nanocatalysts has been carried out using different techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence studies.

One-Pot Synthesis of Pd-Based Ternary Pd@CdS@TiO Nanoclusters via a Solvothermal Route and Their Catalytic Reduction Efficiency toward Toxic Hexavalent Chromium.

In this work, we report the synthesis of Pd-based ternary Pd@CdS@TiO nanocomposites using molecular precursors. This method is facile, less time-consuming, and cost-effective. This catalyst is prepared within 2 h by a solvothermal route using molecular precursors.

A new route to antimony telluride nanoplates from a single-source precursor.

Aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) of Sb[(TePiPr2)2N]3 results in pure hexagonal Sb2Te3 nanoplates between 375 and 475 degrees C on glass substrates, with a potential for enhanced thermoelectric properties for novel nanodevices.
