Ultra-fine CdS quantum dots modified TiO(2) nanotube arrays (TiO(2)-NTs) with enhanced visible-light activity are fabricated via a cathodic electro-deposition combined with ion-exchange route (CEDIE). The as-formed CdS quantum dots were highly dispersed both outside and inside the TiO(2)-NTs. The proposed CEDIE strategy results in the strong combination and heterojunctions between CdS and TiO(2...

Light is an important regulator of plant morphogenesis and plant-pathogen interactions via specific photoreceptors signaling pathways. Besides visible light, other electromagnetic radiations may play roles, notably ultraviolet (UV) light. The UV part the spectrum includes UV-A (315 nm - 400 nm), UV-B (280 315 nm) UV-C (200 280 nm). have been reported to increase resistance pathogens after perce...

Using wet impregnation method, a novel ternary system of silica supported Fe-Co-Ce catalyst was prepared. Preparation conditions such as impregnation time and temperature, drying time and temperature, were optimized by the L9 Taguchi experimental design to achieve a light olefin selective catalyst with maximum CO conversion in a fixed bed micro-reactor. It was found that the best conditions to ...

Sr6Nb10O30–Nb2O5 nanocomposite was synthesized in 2M NaOH aqueous solution. A stoichiometric 1:1 Sr:Nb molar ratio hydrothermal method at 120°C was used to synthesize this nanocomposite. Sr(NO3)2 and Nb2O5 were used as raw materials. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. It was found that Sr6Nb10O30 was crystallized in tetragonal crystal ...
