A Pt nanoparticle netlike-assembly (Pt-NNA) synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method, with high specific surface area and large overall size, exhibits much higher durability and 2.9 times higher mass activity for oxygen reduction reaction than commercial Pt black catalyst.

Nitrogen-doped, porous rutile has been prepared by hydrothermal reaction of TiN in nitric acid, with the nitrogen atoms present in the interstitial sites and in the form of adsorbed nitrate ions. The N-rutile powder exhibits outstanding photocatalytic activity toward degradation of adsorbed methylene blue under visible light irradiation.

11 12 Abstract Nanorods and nanoplates of Y2O3:Eu 3+ powders 13 were synthesized through the thermal decomposition of the 14 Y(OH)3 precursors using a microwave-hydrothermal meth15 od in a very short reaction time. These powders were 16 analyzed by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning 17 electron microscopy, Fourrier transform Raman, as well as 18 photoluminescence measurements. Based on ...

BACKGROUND For decades, copper sulphide has been renowned as the superior optical and semiconductor materials. Its potential applications can be ranged from solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, sensors, and catalyst systems. The synthesis methodologies of copper sulphide with different controlled morphology have been widely explored in the literature. Nevertheless, the understanding on the forma...

Layered rare-earth hydroxide (LRH) crystals of (Y0.95Eu0.05)2(OH)5NO3·nH2O with a lateral size of ∼ 300 μm and a thickness of ∼ 9 μm have been synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction of mixed nitrate solutions in the presence of mineralizer NH4NO3 at 200 °C for 24 h. LRH exhibits the ability to undergo intercalation and anion exchange with DS- (C12H25OSO3-) via hydrothermal treatment. Compared ...

In this paper, conventional SAPO-34 and Cerium Hierarchical SAPO-34 zeolites are synthesized using a hydrothermal method for methanol-to-propylene (MTP) reaction. The Ce-H-SAPO-34 catalyst shows a slightly larger crystal size, bimodal pore size distribution (microporous and mesoporous) and lower surface acidity compared to conventional SAPO-34 catalysts. According to these physicochemical prope...

nanostructured ruo2 powders were synthesized via a hydrothermal method at 180 °c for 12 h using 1 and 2 m naoh aqueous solutions. the structure of the obtained nanomaterials was investigated by powder x-ray diffraction (pxrd) technique. the morphology the obtained materials were studied by field emission scanning electron microscope (fesem). the technique showed that with changing the reaction ...
