The specific detection of biological organics without the use of an enzyme is challenging, and it is crucial for analytical and clinical chemistry. We report specific nonenzymatic bilirubin detection through the catalytic oxidation of bilirubin molecule on the Nafion/Mn-Cu surface. The catalytic ability, true surface area, morphology, crystallinity, composition, and oxidation state of the senso...

a facile and simple method was proposed to control the size and shape of the mgo nano structures with high surface area in the presence of efficient and cheap templates like peg 200, peg 600, peg 4000 and sorbitol at low temperature within a little time. nano rods and nanoparticles have been achieved by applying these templates and altering other growth parameters. the products were characteriz...

Zirconium dispersed in aluminum-pillared montmorillonite was prepared as a catalyst for phenol hydroxylation. The effects of varying the Zr content on the catalyst's physicochemical character and activity were studied with XRD, BET surface area analysis, surface acidity measurements and scanning electron microscopy before investigating the performance for phenol conversion. The zirconia dispers...

High surface area porous poly(phenylene butadiynylene) networks were obtained (BET surface area up to 842 m(2) g(-1)) by the palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene and 1,4-diethynylbenzene.

In this research, zinc oxide quantum dots and graphene nanocomposites were synthesized via two different methods; In the first (direct) method, ZnO-graphene Nanocomposites were made mixing the synthesized zinc oxide and graphene. In the second (indirect) method, zinc nitrate, graphene, and sodium hydroxide were used to made ZnO-graphene Nanocomposites. XRD, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy analyses ...

Ion beam bombardment, as a unique and facile technique, was found and developed to fabricate nano-networks from rigid nano-rods. To study the differences of their characteristics, attapulgite (ATP)was chosen as amodel. The results ofmethylene blue adsorption performance investigation demonstrated that attapulgite nano-networks (ATP-N) have better adsorption capability than the attapulgite nano-...

Easily prepared nanoZnO was found to be as an efficient catalyst in the synthesis of 1,4-DHPs via four-component reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyls, aldehydes and ammonium carbonate in water at 60 °C. The prepared nanoZnO was characterized by XRD and FT-IR analysis, while the determined specific surface area of nano catalyst by BET method was 33 m2/g.
