Optical, Morphological and Microstructural Investigation of TiO2 nanoparticles for Photocatalytic application

Enriched characteristics like porosity, stability and specific surface area assist TiO2 to find extensive applications in photocatalysis, dye sensitized solar cell, and sensors. TiO2 semiconductor was prepared using titanyl acetylacetonate and characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman, UV-Vis, FESEM, EDX, and DLS. XRD result confirmed the tetragonal structured anatase TiO2 semiconductor. Scherrer formula is used to […]

Understanding the role of acid sites of Zinc Aluminophosphate catalysts in eco-friendly synthesis of carbamates

Aluminophosphate and metal incorporated aluminophosphates have been synthesized at ice-cold temperature by simple co-precipitation method in the absence of a templating agent. Surface and bulk properties of synthesized materials were studied by different characterization techniques. The materials were found to be X-ray amorphous. N2 adsorption-desorption studies exhibited the existence of microporous structure and uniform narrow […]

Non-noble supported catalyst for oxidation of glucose under mild reaction conditions

Catalytic oxidation of D-glucose to D-gluconic acid derivative with H2O2 has been studied using non-noble Cobalt supported catalyst. The catalysts were synthesized using the scalable incipient wetness impregnation method of Co/Al2O3 and Co/TS1. The catalysts have been characterized by TGA, XRD, FESEM-EDX, BET, FTIR, and Hammett test. The oxidation of the D-glucose into D-gluconic acid […]

Trifluoroacetate-bonded polyethylene graphene oxide composite as a novel and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of benzimidazoles under solvent-free conditions

A green and efficient trifluoroacetate-bonded polyethylene graphene oxide composite was utilized in this research to prepare benzimidazoles with good to excellent yield under a solvent-free condition. The trifluoroacetate-bonded polyethylene graphene oxide composite was constructed by polyethylene/diethylenetriamine-functionalized graphene oxide composite bonded by 2-aminothiazole and CF3COOHmoieties. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, field emission […]

A Nickel Sublayer: An Improvement in the Electrochemical Performance of Platinum-Based Electrocatalysts as Anodes in Glucose Alkaline Fuel Cells

Platinum–nickel electrocatalysts supported on the modified carbon paper (MCP) were prepared by electrodeposition. Here, various procedures were applied for the electrodeposition of nickel and platinum particles, separately or simultaneously, on the surface of the MCP as an anode electrode for glucose alkaline fuel cells. The establishment of the best procedure for this fabrication is the […]
