Energy-efficient CH4-CO2 valorization to fuels and chemicals presents an urgent need considering the great variety of methane sources removal greenhouse gases. In present work, microwave-assisted dry reforming methane, DRM, has been carried out in a custom-designed rectangular mono-mode microwave applicator over several catalyst-support combinations, i.e., Pt/C, Ni/Al2O3, mechanical mixture Ni/...

This article reports the modification of Al2O3/GaAs surfaces with multifunctional soft materials. Siloxane elastomers were covalently bound to dopamine-modified Al2O3/GaAs semiconductor surfaces using MPt (M = Fe, Ni) nanoparticles. The sizes of the monodisperse FePt and NiPt nanoparticles were less than 5 nm. The surfaces of the nanoparticles as well as the Al2O3/GaAs substrates were modified ...

NiSi nanocrystals of high density and good uniformity were synthesized by vapor–solid–solid growth in a gas source molecular beam epitaxy system using Si2H6 as Si precursor and Ni as catalyst. A metal– oxide–semiconductor memory device with NiSi nanocrystal–Al2O3/SiO2 double-barrier structure was fabricated. Large memory window and excellent retention at both room temperature and high temperatu...

Introduction The integration of fuel processors, the catalytic units that can convert fossil fuels to hydrogen-rich streams, with hydrogen fuel cells is considered as a promising solution to the problems related to the availability, distribution and storage of hydrogen. Recent computer-based studies have demonstrated the possibility of efficient hydrogen production on-board the vehicles through...

Integrated CO2 capture and utilisation (ICCU) is a promising strategy for restricting carbon emissions achieving neutrality. Bifunctional combined materials (BCMs), containing adsorbents active catalysts, are widely applied in this process. Producing syngas via reverse water–gas shift reaction (RWGS) integrating with Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis an attractive valuable route. This work invest...
