ZnO and Mn-ZnO nano powders were prepared by the sol-gel auto combustion method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. ...

homogeneous charge compression ignition (hcci) combustion is a pioneer method of combustion in which pre-mixed fuel and oxidizer (typically air) are compressed to the point of auto-ignition. hcci engines can operate with most alternative fuels, especially, dimethyl ether (dme) which has been tested as a possible diesel fuel due to its simultaneously low nox and pm emissions. in this paper a sin...

Nanoparticles where holmium was substituted with nickel-cadmium Ni0.5Cd0.5HoxFe2-xO4 (X = 0, 0.02, and 0.04) ferrites were synthesized through a sol-gel auto-combustion process to reveal their structural physical properties. The nanoparticles characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared ray (FTIR) spectroscopy, impedance spectroscop...

structural properties and chemical composition change the photocatalytic activity in tio2-sio2 nanopowder composite. the sio2-tio2 nanostructure is synthesized based on sol–gel method. the nanoparticles are characterized by x-ray fluorescents (xrf), x- ray diffraction (xrd), tunneling electron microscopy (tem), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-sem), uv-vis. spectrophotometer and ...
