Catalytic evaluation of nickel nanoparticles in methane steam reforming
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Development of a highly efficient and coke-resistant, nickel nanoparticles (Ni.NPs) based catalyst in the steam reformation reaction of methane is reported. The catalyst was prepared by dispersing Ni-nanoparticles over ...
Theoretical investigation of the oxygen bond dissociation energies in graphene oxide
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The theoretical vibrational spectrum, oxygen bond dissociation energies (BDE), atomic charges and hydrogen bonding has been investigated using wB97XD/6-31g(d) method of calculation. The order of BDE for C-O comes in the ...
Thermodynamic investigation of hydrogen enrichment and carbon suppression using chemical additives in ethanol dry reforming
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, a thermodynamic equilibrium analysis has been performed on ethanol dry reforming in presence of commonly used reducing agents such as glycine, hydrazine, urea and ammonia. The effect of these agents on ...
Modification of Pd/CeO2 catalyst by Atomic Layer Deposition of ZrO2
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Modification of a 1 wt% Pd/CeO2 catalyst by Atomic Layer Deposition of thin ZrO2 films was studied. Calcination of the unmodified Pd/CeO2, prepared by precipitation of aqueous Ce(NO3)3 solutions, with Pd added by impregnation, ...
In situ DRIFTS Studies on Cu, Ni and CuNi catalysts for Ethanol Decomposition Reaction
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
Catalyst nanopowders containing copper and nickel were synthesized using solution combustion synthesis method for hydrogen production from ethanol decomposition. Detailed in situ DRIFTS studies were conducted on three ...
Tailoring optical absorption in silicon nanostructures from UV to visible light: A TDDFT study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The utilization of silicon nanostructures, from quantum dots to nanowires, for photovoltaic applications depends on understanding the effect of their physical structure on their optical absorption properties. In this work, ...
