Experimental and theoretical studies for corrosion of molybdenum electrode using streptomycin drug in phosphoric acid medium.

Corrosion inhibition of molybdenum electrode in HPO acid medium of different concentrations (3.0 to 13 M) has been investigated utilizing different electrochemical techniques. It was observed that the most corrosive concentration is 3.

MOF-Derived Cobalt@Mesoporous Carbon as Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution Reaction: Impact of Organic Linker.

Water electrolysis has attracted scientists' attention as a green route for energy generation. However, the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remarkably increases the reaction overpotential. In this work, we developed Co-based nanomaterials as cost-effective, highly efficient catalysts for OER.

Microwave-Assisted Solvothermal Synthesis of Mo-Doped TiO with Exceptional Textural Properties and Superior Adsorption Kinetics.

Assigned to their outstanding physicochemical properties, TiO-based materials have been studied in various applications. Herein, TiO doped with different Mo contents (Mo-TiO) was synthesized via a microwave-assisted solvothermal approach. This was achieved using titanium (IV) butoxide and molybdenum (III) chloride as a precursor and dodecylamine as a surface directing agent.

Solution combustion synthesis of Ni/LaO for dry reforming of methane: tuning the basicity alkali and alkaline earth metal oxide promoters.

The production of syngas dry reforming of methane (DRM) has drawn tremendous research interest, ascribed to its remarkable economic and environmental impacts. Herein, we report the synthesis of K, Na, Cs, Li, and Mg-promoted Ni/LaO using solution combustion synthesis (SCS). The properties of the catalysts were determined by N physisorption experiments, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and H-TPR (temperature programmed reduction).

Solution combustion synthesis of Ni-based hybrid metal oxides for oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline medium.

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has arisen as an outstanding technology for energy generation, conversion, and storage. Herein, we investigated the synthesis of nickel-based hybrid metal oxides (Ni M O ) and their catalytic performance towards OER. Ni M O catalysts were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) using the metal nitrates as oxidizer and glycine as fuel.

Natural clay-supported palladium catalysts for methane oxidation reaction: effect of alloying.

The catalytic combustion of methane (CCM) has been extensively studied owing to the wide use of methane in motor vehicles and power generation turbines. However, the absence of polarizability and the high C-H bond strength are considered to be the main drawbacks that limit its oxidation by traditional catalytic converters. Palladium-based catalysts are recognized as the benchmark catalysts for methane oxidation, especially under oxidizing conditions, and their activity is dependent on different parameters such as size, dispersion, and the nature of the support.

Enhanced photocatalytic performance of WON@porous TiO nanofibers towards sunlight-assisted degradation of organic contaminants.

In the last few decades, TiO has been widely used in different types of photocatalytic applications. However, the relatively large optical band gap (∼3.2 eV), low charge carrier mobility and consequently its low quantum efficiency limit its photocatalytic activity.

Rational one-step synthesis of porous PtPdRu nanodendrites for ethanol oxidation reaction with a superior tolerance for CO-poisoning.

Precise fabrication of porous ternary Pt-based nanodendrites is very important for electrochemical energy conversion owing to high surface area and great molecular accessibility of these nanodendrites. Herein, PtPdRu porous nanodendrites (PNDs) were prepared via a facile one-step ultrasonic irradiation approach at room temperature. Intriguingly, the ultrasonic irradiation drove the formation of PtPdRu PNDs with spatially interconnected porous structures, whereas magnetic stirring produced PtPdRu nanoflowers (NFs) with less porosity.

An efficient eco advanced oxidation process for phenol mineralization using a 2D/3D nanocomposite photocatalyst and visible light irradiations.

Nanocomposites (CNTi) with different mass ratios of carbon nitride (CN) and TiO nanoparticles were prepared hydrothermally. Different characterization techniques were used including X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). UV-Vis DRS demonstrated that the CNTi nanocomposites exhibited absorption in the visible light range.
