[email protected] Abstract Organic electroactive materials derived from biomasses are promising candidates for next generation rechargeable batteries due to the low cost, sustainability and environmental benignity. Since organic materials have very low electronic conductivity, they are normally synthesized into nano-scale and mixed with conductive carbon...

Wet ball milling was used to exfoliate MoS2. The aim of the study was to examine how the surface energy of all the individual materials affected the formation of the nano‐ sheets. Two types of milling balls were selected: one made of steel and one made of Al2O3. The liquids used were water (H2O), isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) and kerosene. The obtained nanosheets were identified and characterized u...

In the present paper, a gamma alumina (?-Al2O3) loaded zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-catalyst (ZnO/?-Al2O3) has been synthesized and used to accelerate removal of sulfur compounds from light gas oil by oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process. The nano-catalysts have characterized atomic force microscopy (AFM) Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). ODS process conducted in batch reactor at various reaction tempe...

Semiconducting metal oxide - based gas sensors exhibit outstanding sensitivity, although humidity in the analyte typically hampers precise measurements. In this work it was shown that a 5?6 nm thin Al2O3 nano-layer is particularly beneficial reducing interference due to of p-type conductivity copper oxide-based sensors. An effective approach from chemical solutions at 75 °C and thermal annealin...

accumulation of aluminium by plants exposed to nano- and microsized particles of al2o3 wasinvestigated in terms of risk assessment and possible application in phytoremediation of contaminated sites.four plant species (allium cepa l., zea mays, lepidium sativum and kalanchoe daigremontiana)were cultivatedon media (soil or liquid medium) contaminated with nano- and microparticles of al2o3. bioava...

This work presents a fast and direct controlled routine for the fabrication of fully dense alumina based on reactive spark plasma sintering (reactive-SPS) boehmite (γ-AlOOH) nano-powders obtained by sol–gel technique. The evolution transition aluminas during has been studied. Some powders were seeded with α-Al2O3 particles prior to gelation. Boehmite exhibited at 1070 °C, enhancing transformati...

Obtaining an atomic-scale description of the chemical interactions phosphates with oxide support, such as γ-Al2O3, is essential to get a rational understanding role phosphate additives for great number heterogeneous catalysts, well improve use this element. Combining cutting-edge Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Surface Enhanced NMR Spectroscopy (DNP SENS) techniques Density Functional Theory (DFT)...

In this work, the low-temperature process steps required for the realization of nano-crystal non-volatile memory cells are discussed. An amorphous silicon film, crystallized using a diode pumped solid state green laser irradiating at 532 nm, is proposed as an active layer. The deposition of the subsequent functional layers (e.g., gate oxide) can be done using CVD and ALD reactors in a cluster t...

The methods of thermal analysis – thermogravimetry, differential were used to study the catalytic system phosphor-molybdenum heteropoly acid–aluminum oxide. It is shown that modification aluminum oxide has a direct effect on state acid. On surface ƞ-Al2O3, phosphomolybdic acid destroyed by interaction with strong Lewis’s sites carrier, while γ-Al2O3 it retains individuality, probably due multi...
