Ambient solid-state mechano-chemical reactions between functionalized carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes can be chemically modified by attaching various functionalities to their surfaces, although harsh chemical treatments can lead to their break-up into graphene nanostructures. On the other hand, direct coupling between functionalities bound on individual nanotubes could lead to, as yet unexplored, spontaneous chemical reactions. Here we report an ambient mechano-chemical reactio...

Manganese Antimonate: Facile solid state synthesis, characterization and its application for Biginelli reactions

Nanostructured Mn2Sb2O7 powders were synthesized via stoichiometric1:1 Mn:Sb molar ratio solid state reaction at different reactions temperatures for 8 h using MnSO4.H2O and Sb2O3 as raw materials. The synthesized materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. Structural analyses were performed by the FullProf program employing profile matching with constant scale fa...

Solid State Chemical Sensors for Co

Carbon monoxide is one of the most important reducing gases to be detected in combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, petroleum and automobile industries, heat-treating furnaces and, also in the first stages of fire. During the past four decades, gas sensors based either on the surface characteristics or the bulk properties of ceramics have been the subject of extensive research and development. New m...

Application of solid-state kinetics to desolvation reactions

Mathematical methods have been developed to evaluate solid-state kinetics. They generally fall into two categories: model-fitting or model-free (isoconversional). Modelfitting methods determine the kinetic triplet (model, frequency factor and activation energy) whereas isoconversional (model-free) methods generate the activation energy as a function of reaction progress without modelistic assum...
