Interests on carbon nanostructures are growing over the decades since the discovery of buckminsterfullerene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The chemical vapor deposition method is promising for nano-carbon synthesis, because it is capable of controlling the carbon structure and achieving high yield. The fine-tuning of different carbon structures is normally focused on varying catalyst compositions...

Nano-structuring can significantly modify the properties of materials. We demonstrate that size-dependent modification of the spin-wave spectra in magnetic nano-particles can affect not only linear, but also nonlinear magnetic response. The discretization of the spectrum removes the frequency degeneracy between the main excitation mode of a nano-particle and the higher spin-wave modes, having t...

Herein we report that the reaction of KMnO4 with cobalt nanoparticles coated with multiple graphene layers forms a promising catalyst toward water oxidation. The compound was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electronic spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atom...

Abstract Nickel based nano-catalysts, supported on bimetallic oxide support (i.e. Ni/Al 2 O 3 -MgO) were prepared by the co-precipitation (one step, Catalyst-A) and followed impregnation (two steps, Catalyst-B) techniques separately. The catalysts then tested for dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction. effect catalyst synthesis technique their performance has been analysed. -MgO nano-catalyst ...

This study aims to examine the potential of non-edible seed oil ( Cucumis melo var. agrestis ), content 29.1%, FFA 0.64 (mg KOH/g) for biodiesel production via nano-catalyst. The catalyst was characterized using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive (EDX). maximum yield (93%) attained under optimized co...

oxidation reaction of indole to isatin was performed in the presence of fe3o4 nanoparticles (as catalyst) and commercial grade perhydrol (as oxidant). magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical precipitation method and characterized by xrd and tem techniques. the efficiency of reaction was obtained from gc analysis of the mixture. the catalyst was easily separated from the reaction m...

The magnetic properties of calcined cobalt ferrite formed by nano-crystalline powders have been compared by two different methods (co-precipitation and hydrothermal). The structural properties of the produced powders were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the formation of cobalt ferrite spinel structures is effected by changing me...

toluidine blue o (tbo) is a cationic dye which is extensively used in the industries. in the present paper a simple and efficient wet chemical method was introduced for removal of tbo from waste aqueous solution. magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesized using commercially available multi-wall carbon nanotubes and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles which were examined for removal o...

For comparative means, a current Au-TiO 2 catalyst was used or order to benchmark current standards for nano-Au catalysts. The Aurolite® catalyst is currently the only commercially produced Au-TiO 2 catalyst comprising of 1% Au (by mass) loaded on P25 type TiO 2 comprising approximately 20% rutile and 80% anatase. A second batch of catalysts was examined where the catalyst composition was simil...
