Silane modified iron (III) oxide (SiFe2O3) nanoparticles reinforced chitosan (CS) nanocomposite membranes were prepared by solcast transformation method. The iron (III) oxide nanoparticles and nanocomposite membranes were investigated by UV (Visible) spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, XRD, SEM and TEM. The size and shape of iron (III) oxide and Si-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were determined by XRD and T...

The present work accentuates the aspects of electrochemical analysis determined by cyclic voltammeter (CV), especially enhancement in supercapacitor's specific capacitance and energy density. In this work, nickel oxide (NiO) @ reduced graphene (NiO@rGO) nanocomposite materials used as electrodes were synthesized microwave irradiation method. Performance material was further characterized using ...

This study investigated the photocatalytic degradation of RB dye by V2O5@g-C3N4 nano-catalysts. The sonication method was utilized to create nano-catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), high-resolution electron microscopy (TEM), BET-surface area analyzer, photoelectron (XPS), and ultraviolet spectroscopy. In meantime, activity, pH, photo...

Abstract Mesoporous, bifunctional MgO-SnO 2 nanocatalysts with enhanced surface area are used for producing biodiesel from waste cooking oil. Biodiesel yield of 80% is achieved within the first 20 min when transesterification carried out at an optimum condition 18:1 methanol to oil ratio, wt% nanocatalyst, and a reaction temperature 60 °C. The conversion gives maximum 88% allowed continue 120 m...

In the present work, PVDF - Fe3O4 nanoparticle (NP) nanocomposite films were produced using electrospinning method. We investigated effect of NP size on film's morphology (fiber size), mechanical properties, and physical properties (β-phase percentage). Surprisingly, while acts as an enhancer for it appeared to act inhibitor in terms its effects crystallization β-polymorph. This result seemed d...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) with highly exposed {001} facets was synthesized through a facile solvo-thermal method and its surface was decorated by using reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. The morphology and chemical composition of the prepared rGO/TiO2 {001} nanocomposite were examined by using suitable characterization techniques. The rGO/TiO2 {001} nanocomposite was used to modify glassy carbo...
