CoO @NiMoN/Ti C T Interface for Stable High-Performance Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices.

Transition metal nitrides (TMNs) are promising electrode materials for use in high-performance electrochemical energy storage devices due to their unique properties, which include a high conductivity, pseudocapacitance, and energy density. However, structural instability during electrochemical reactions has limited their practical deployment for energy storage devices. In this context, the present study fabricated a CoO @NiMoN/Ti C T electrode via in situ growth on Ni foam using hydrothermal treatment with post-nitrogenization.

Comparative studies on performance of solar towers with variable scale ratios.

Improvements in the geometry of solar towers are explained in this study. Both computational and experimental studies are carried out. Three different solar towers of 1:60, 1:70, and 1:122 scale ratios are taken for the study.

Facile preparation of bismuth vanadate-sheet/carbon nitride rod-like interface photocatalyst for efficient degradation of model organic pollutant under direct sunlight irradiation.

The photocatalytic performance of a semiconducting catalytic system is strongly influenced by charge-carrier separation rate, charge transport properties, surface area, utilization of light energy, and interface bonding. Herein, a series of bismuth vanadate (BiVO) samples were prepared via hydrothermal method by changing the volume ratios of ethelene glycol and ethanol as a solvent mixture for bismuth precursors. Further, the optimized BiVO sheets with hierarchical morphology were used to construct an interface with rod-like g-CN materials, which was confirmed by HRSEM and HRTEM.

Bridging and synergistic effect of the pyrochlore like BiZrO structure with robust CdCuS solid solution for durable photocatalytic removal of the organic pollutants.

Herein, a strong redox ability photocatalyst of CdCuS solid solution composited with pyrochlore like BiZrO has been fabricated by the simple hydrothermal method. The robust CdCuS solid solution materials perform the supporting role to the BiZrO nano materials. The structural, optical, valence and vibrational states of the prepared heterostructure materials were analyzed using various characterization techniques.

Synergistic effect of band edge potentials on BiFeO/VO composite: Enhanced photo catalytic activity.

The BiFeO/VO has been successfully synthesized by simple annealing of BiFeO nanoplates and VO nanoflower. The phase, structural, optical properties and chemical state of the BiFeO, VO and different composition of BiFeO/VO samples were comparatively characterized by various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The prepared catalyst exhibits unique photo catalytic and post-oxidation/reduction ability for removal of various (MB, Phenol, CV, RhB) water organic pollutants.
