Cobalt-containing polyoxotitanates (TiCo) are excellent precursors for the simple and scalable preparation of Nocera-type CoOx water-oxidation electrocatalysts. The TiCo cages serve as a reservoir for cobalt ions in a titania matrix on fluoride-doped tin oxide electrodes, and form, in situ, the active CoOx catalyst for O2 evolution with high stability in phosphate buffer in pH neutral water.

Zn0.9Cd0.1S nanoparticles doped with 0.005-0.24 M cobalt have been prepared by co-precipitation technique in ice bath at 280 K. For the cobalt concentration >0.18 M, XRD pattern shows unidentified phases along with Zn0.9Cd0.1S sphalerite phase. For low cobalt concentration (≤0.05 M) particle size, dXRDis ~3.5 nm, while for high cobalt concentration (>0.05 M) particle size decreases abruptly (~2...

Release kinetics of the fluorophore and cytotoxicity were a...

Low levels of cobalt doping (1 wt%) of copper manganese oxide enhances its activity for carbon monoxide oxidation under ambient conditions and the doped catalyst can display higher activity than current commercial catalysts.

Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanorods were prepared by a simple co-precipitation method using ethanol solution of cobalt nitrate as precursor and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant. Morphological properties of the nanoparticles were characterized. XRD measurement exhibited the structure of Co3O4 nanocrystals for annealed samples. The SEM ima...

Carbon dioxide capture and use as a carbon feedstock presents both environmental and industrial benefits. Here we report the discovery of a hybrid oxide catalyst comprising manganese oxide nanoparticles supported on mesoporous spinel cobalt oxide, which catalyses the conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol at high yields. In addition, carbon-carbon bond formation is observed through the produc...

A MOF-derived cobalt oxide/nitrogen-doped carbon composite is prepared and it exhibits remarkable performance for chlorine-assisted ethylene oxide production.

Silver doped zinc oxide nanoparticles are synthesized by a solution combustion method. The samples characterized by a variety of spectroscopic and other techniques clearly reveal the presence of silver nanoparticles as well as silver clusters. The silver in the two forms was identified by careful deconvolution of X-ray photoelectron spectral results. Their formation was also confirmed by the pr...
