Current Trends in Cellulose Assisted Combustion Synthesis of Catalytically Active Nanoparticles
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Cellulose assisted combustion synthesis (CACS) has emerged as a novel variation of traditional solution combustion synthesis (SCS) over the past decade for the synthesis of catalytically active nanomaterials. This report ...
Combustion synthesis: A novel method of catalyst preparation
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
In this chapter, we summarize work accomplished primarily by the authors on the use of solution combustion synthesis (SCS) in catalysis. Research in combustion synthesis at University of Notre Dame started with the group ...
Influence of fuel ratio on the performance of combustion synthesized bifunctional cobalt oxide catalysts for fuel cell application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Solution combustion synthesis was used to prepare cobalt oxide nanoparticles at different fuel ratio (φ = 0.5, 1, and 1.75). The synthesized particles were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR and XPS to study the ...
Effect of Ni incorporation in cobalt oxide lattice on carbon formation during ethanol decomposition reaction
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, we report the results of catalytic decomposition of ethanol over a porous mixed metal oxide of Ni-Co (NiCoO2) and analyze the effect of Ni incorporation in Co3O4 lattice on the activity and hydrogen selectivity ...
Effect of fuel content on the electrocatalytic methanol oxidation performance of Pt/ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by solution combustion
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
We report the effect of combustion synthesis conditions on Pt nanoparticle (NP) supported on ZnO (Pt/ZnO) electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The Pt/ZnO NPs are prepared by solution combustion synthesis ...
Photocatalytic conversion of CO 2 and H 2 O to useful fuels by nanostructured composite catalysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Cu-TiO2 nano-catalysis were successfully prepared using sol-gel method and used for solar photo-reduction of CO2 in gas and liquid phase. Adding Cu to TiO2 matrix modify its crystalline structure, improved its optical ...
Galvanic exchange as a novel method for carbon nitride supported coag catalyst synthesis for oxygen reduction and carbon dioxide conversion
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
A bimetallic alloy of CoAg nanoparticles (NPs) on a carbon nitride (CN) surface was synthesized using a galvanic exchange process for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and carbon dioxide electrocatalytic conversion. The ...
Exploitation of Citrus Peel Extract as a Feedstock for Power Generation in Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC)
(
Springer
, 2019 , Article)
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are envisioned as an evolving cost-effective process for treating organic wastes to simultaneously generate bioelectricity. Therefore, in present study a single chambered mediator- less air ...
