Photocatalysis has attracted significant attention as a potential issue for the degradation of toxic organic pollutants such as Congo Red. In this research spherical Pure ZnO nano particles and Ni-Co-ZnO nano composites (Zn0.95Ni0.04Co0.01O,  Zn0.95Ni0.025Co0.025O and  Zn0.95Ni0.01Co0.04O) have been synthesized by precipitation method. X- ray diffraction, Fourier transform Infra Red ,field emis...

the catalytic oxidation of toluene over copper oxide supported on natural diatomite was investigated. the catalyst was prepared by the wet impregnation method and characterized by using the brunauer emmett teller (bet), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem), x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray fluorescence (xrf) and temperature-programmed reduction (tpr) analysis. the highest catalytic ...

Vertically aligned carbon nanotube films with diameters smaller than 5 nm, high densities up to 10/cm, and lengths of ~ 5–8 Am were deposited by microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. Experiments show that, by continuous reduction in the thickness of the iron film (i.e., ~0.3–0.5 nm), small diameter carbon nanotubes can be achieved with diameters that ranged from 1–5 nm, and the f...

cobalt chromite (cocr2o4) with normal spinel structure, shows catalytic activity for oxidation of unburned methane in the natural gas vehilcles (ngv). in this study, cocr2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized through a conventional co-precipitation technique and investigated for the catalytic combustion of methane. cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, chromium nitrate nonahydrate and ammonia solution (25%) ...

We investigated silver nanowires using correlative wide-field fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy. In the wide-field fluorescence images, synchronous emission from different distinct positions along the silver nanowires was observed. The sites of emission were separated spatially by up to several micrometers. Nanowires emitting in such cooperative manner were then also investigate...

The field emission characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and subsequently surface treated by high-density Ar plasma in an inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) with the various plasma powers were measured. Results indicate that, after treated by Ar plasma with power between 250 and 500 W, the emission current density of t...

The origin of low threshold field-emission (threshold field 1.25 V/μm) in nanocrystalline diamond-like carbon (nc-DLC) thin films is examined. The introduction of nitrogen and thermal annealing are both observed to change the threshold field and these changes are correlated with changes to the film microstructure. A range of different techniques including micro-Raman and infrared spectroscopy, ...

structural properties and chemical composition change the photocatalytic activity in tio2-sio2 nanopowder composite. the sio2-tio2 nanostructure is synthesized based on sol–gel method. the nanoparticles are characterized by x-ray fluorescents (xrf), x- ray diffraction (xrd), tunneling electron microscopy (tem), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-sem), uv-vis. spectrophotometer and ...

sphere-like shaped cobalt oxide nanoparticles (co3o4) were synthesized by a simple wet chemical method using cobalt chloride as precursor and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (ctab) as surfactant. their structural and surface morphologial properties were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and x-ray diffra...

In this work, the electron field emission behaviour of electrodes formed by carbon nanotubes CNTs grown onto monolithic vitreous carbon VCarbon substrates with microcavities is presented. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the microstructure of the films. Tungsten probes, stainless steel sphere, and phosphor electrodes were employed in the electron field emission study. The C...
