In the present study, the effects of calcium doping on the performance of the co-precipitated Cu-MgO catalysts prepared with different calcium loadings in the selective hydrogenation of furfuraldehyde were investigated. The results proved that the addition of this promoter had a remarkable impact on the catalytic performance. The conversion of furfuraldehyde enhanced up to 83% and the furfuryl ...

The goal of this work is to understand the properties of mixed-metal intercalation oxides. Using first-principles methods, the effect of doping on the mixing, energetic, and voltage properties as well as the phase diagrams of lithium transition-metal oxides for lithium battery cathode materials was investigated. The effect of doping on the phase separation tendencies of layered transition-metal...

Molecular Doping In article number 2302048, Keehoon Kang, Takhee Lee, and co-workers demonstrate a novel immersion doping strategy for enhancing the electrical conductivity of 2D perovskites. Immersion perovskite films in dopant solution induces bulk incorporation molecular dopants within organic spacer layer, which specific conditions maximizing are formulated.

The sonocatalytic degradation of organic dyes (C.I. 50040, C.I. Reactive Red 1, C.I. Acid Orange 7) catalysed by Co/N/Er3+ : Y3Al5O12/TiO2 films was studied. For the preparation of Co/N/Er3+ : Y3Al5O12/TiO2 films, the sol-gel coating process was used. The phase composition, morphology, precursor at different temperatures and emitting light properties of the calcined powders were analysed by X-r...

Using MnSO4 ̈H2O as manganese source and urea as nitrogen source, Mn/N co-doped TiO2 loaded on wood-based activated carbon fiber (Mn/Ti-N-WACF) was prepared by sol–gel method. Mn/Ti-N-WACF with different Mn doping contents was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies (XPS), and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. Results sho...

Abstract A solid-state ball-milling method was used to prepare the Li + /F − co-doped LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 materials. XRD characterizations reveal that co-doping decreases x Ni 1-x impurities contents and enhances structural stability. It can be seen from SEM analysis crystal morphology of material changes into a phase octahedron because co-doping. The electrochemical performance tests results s...

The perovskite oxide LaCoO3 has been studied over the last few decades primarily due to its two transitions, namely the transition from a nonmagnetic insulating state to semiconducting one at 80 K and the transition from semiconducting state to metallic phase above 500 K. While the transition at 80 K is believed to be due to a change in the Co 3+ -ion spin state from a low spin (t 6 2g e 0 g S=...

Ceria and nickel-doped ceria necklace-like nanowires were synthesized by a facile, surfactant free method, through an unconventional assembly route. Homogeneous doping of lower-valent cations introduces elastic strain, resulting in extrinsic surface defects and higher catalytic performance in CO oxidization.
