High quality and large size Al-doped CsLiB6O10 (CLBO) single crystals have been successfully grown by top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) technique using Cs2O–Li2O–MoO3 fluxes. The advantages of this newly developed flux system were investigated by viscosity measurements and growth experiments. Al-doped CLBO presents a very high transmittance in the visible region and the weak absorption values a...

The fabrication of ordered arrays of nanoporous Si nanopillars with and without nanoporous base and ordered arrays of Si nanopillars with nanoporous shells are presented. The fabrication route is using a combination of substrate conformal imprint lithography and metal-assisted chemical etching. The metal-assisted chemical etching is performed in solutions with different [HF]/[H2O2 + HF] ratios....

In this work we report synthesis and magnetic characterization of cobalt doped ZnO nanoparticles (with different percent of doped cobalt oxide). Synthesis of the materials was carried out at room temperature by polyacrylamide-gel method, using zink sulfate and cobalt nitrate as source materials, acrylamide as monomer and N,N-methylene bisacrylamide as a lattice reagent. Characterization of the ...

Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate vitamin C interaction withN-doped TiO2 anatase nanoparticles. The adsorption of vitamin C on the energy favorable fivefoldcoordinated titanium sites was investigated. Various adsorption geometries of vitamin C towardsthe nanoparticle were examined. Since the adsorption energies of N-doped nanoparticles are higherthan those of ...

The synthesis and properties of an oxygen reduction catalyst based on a unique 3-dimensional (3D) nitrogen doped (N-doped) carbon composite are described. The composite material is synthesised via a two-step hydrothermal and pyrolysis method using bio-source low-cost materials of galactose and melamine. Firstly, the use of iron salts and galactose to hydrothermally produceiron oxide (Fe₂O₃) mag...

To know the electrical properties of any materials is very important for practical application of that material. In this paper I have tried to find out the proper electrical properties of Indium doped Alumina (Al2O3) for practical application of this Alumina. For this purpose all thin films are deposited on glass substrate by electron beam evaporation technique at a pressure of about 1.5 x 10-6...

Using a modified chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, we have prepared a class of new graphene foams (GFs) doped with nitrogen, boron or both. Nitrogen-doped graphene foams (N-GFs) with a nitrogen doping level of 3.1 atom% were prepared by CVD of CH4 in the presence of NH3 while boron-doped graphene foams (B-GFs) with a boron doping level of 2.1 atom% were produced by using toluene and triet...

A Band N-doped microporous carbon has been synthesized via a substitution reaction. The obtained carbon exhibited much higher surface area than the previously reported Band N-doped carbon. The hydrogen storage measurements indicated that the Band N-doped microporous carbon had a 53% higher storage capacity than the carbon materials with similar surface areas. Furthermore, hydrogen storage via s...

A simple and versatile approach has been developed to synthesize multi-walled carbon nanotubes/metal-doped ZnO nanohybrid materials (MWNT/M-doped ZnO) by means of the co-deposition method. The experimental results illuminate that MWNTs can be modified by metal-doped ZnO nanoparticles at 450 °C, such as Mn, Mg, and Co elements. Furthermore, the MWNT/Mg-doped ZnO hybrids have been proven to have ...
