Boost of Charge Storage Performance of Graphene Nanowall Electrodes by Laser-Induced Crystallization of Metal Oxide Nanostructures.

Major research efforts are being carried out for the technological advancement to an energetically sustainable society. However, for the full commercial integration of electrochemical energy storage devices, not only materials with higher performance should be designed and manufactured but also more competitive production techniques need to be developed. The laser processing technology is well extended at the industrial sector for the versatile and high throughput modification of a wide range of materials.

New Insight on the Formation of Sodium Titanates 1D Nanostructures and Its Application on CO Hydrogenation.

The aim of this work is focused on the study of a series of non-traditional catalytic nanomaterials to transform greenhouse CO gas into added-value products. We found encouraging results of CO hydrogenation activity over sodium titanates with different morphologies. The yield to methanol increases with the increase in the Na incorporated in the nanostructures confirming the proposed mechanism.
