Identifying effective means to improve the electrochemical performance of oxygen-evolution catalysts represents a significant challenge in several emerging renewable energy technologies. Herein, we consider metal-nitrogen-carbon sheets which are commonly used for catalyzing the oxygen-reduction reaction (ORR), as the support to load NiO nanoparticles for the oxygen-evolution reaction (OER). FeN...

This study presents an experimentally identified derivatogram of bentonite from the Navbahor mine, texture bentonite, physical and chemical characteristics, composition, their analysis retaining substance used in preparation nanocatalysts based on Zolgel technology.

In this research iron manganese oxide nanocomposites were prepared by co-precipitation, sol-gel and mechanochemical methods by using iron (III) nitrate, iron (II) sulfate and manganese (II) nitrate as starting materials. These nanocomposites were prepared in the presence of various catalyst beds. The polyvinyl pyrrolidon (PVP) was used as a capping agent to control the agglomeration of the nano...

A systematic study was conducted to understand the influences of catalyst combination as Ni-Co NPs on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition (TCVD). The DC-sputtering system was used to prepare Co and Ni-Co thin films on silicon substrate. Ni- Co nanoparticles were used as metal catalyst for growing carbon nanotubes from acetylene (C2H2) gas in 850 ̊ C during 15 min. Carb...
