Owing to the huge array of applications, catalysis has long been dubbed as one of the most significant areas of process and synthetic chemistry. In fact, the vast majority of all chemical industrial products -- be it in the field of…
A ternary MXene-NiO-PPy composite reported in the Journal of Materials Science achieved a minimum reflection loss of −36.80 dB and, at 1.5 wt% in waterborne epoxy coatings, a charge transfer resistance of 1.285 × 10⁵ Ω·cm² after 60 days in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Published on 27 October…
A methylene blue-assisted PANI/MnO2 nanocomposite electrode retained 99.3% of its capacitance after 3000 cycles, and a symmetric supercapacitor built from it delivered 5 Wh kg−1 with 97% retention after 6000 cycles.
A nickel-loaded calcium-aluminum layered double oxide catalyst modified with citric acid reached 66.6% CO2 conversion with 96.5% methane selectivity at 400 °C in a strategy-resolved comparison of two surface engineering routes. The performance results were reported with careful caveats. C-NCL achieved 66.6% CO2 conversion with 96.5% methane…
ISTA researchers develop a light-driven nickel catalyst for making chemical bonds image: Light-activated nickel catalysis. Behind a glass pane, LED lamps shine onto small reaction vessels, activating chemical reactions. Researchers Aleksander Bena and Bartholomäus Pieber at the Institute of Science…
The special colour-changing effect of the ancient Roman Lycurgus Cup has been recreated for the first time, revealing insights into the nanotechnology behind the 1,600-year-old creation. The 4th-century artefact housed in the British Museum is made of a special type…
Researchers developed a solvent-free, one-step dual in-situ strategy to synthesize high-performance polyester nanocomposites, significantly enhancing their mechanical and dielectric properties.
Interfacial Cd–O bonds in S-scheme CdZnS/BiOI heterostructures act as charge transfer channels that raise hydrogen evolution to 1.22 mmol g−1 h−1 and degrade 93 percent of ciprofloxacin within 60 minutes. In a study published in the Journal of Materials Science on 26 October…
An international team of researchers has developed a homogeneous catalytic process that converts methanol, carbon dioxide and hydrogen into ethanol using inexpensive and stable catalyst precursors. Published in Royal Society of Chemistry's Catalysis Science & Technology, the study addresses a key…
Researchers achieved an 82.5 percent exfoliation yield for zirconium disulfide nanosheets using aqueous ionic liquids, enhancing their electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution. Ionic Liquids Boost Zirconium Disulfide Nanosheet Yield Beyond the production of high-quality nanosheets, the researchers also evaluated the electrocatalytic…
