The effect of preparation method and oxidation state of the active metal on the catalytic activity of Ni–Ce–O catalysts was studied for aqueous phase reforming of ethanol. A sol-gel (SG) route and a solution combustion ...

Al-doped and undoped Ti-O nanowire scaffolds were fabricated on the surface of titanium foil via a one-step hydrothermal reaction in the presence of an alkali solution at 120±1 °C temperature and at 15 psi pressure. Grazing ...

A new series of neutral noble gas inserted compounds involving halocarbenes, mainly, FNgCX (Ng = Kr, and Xe; X = F, Cl, Br, and I) has been predicted through various ab initio quantum chemical techniques such as MP2, DFT, ...

The influence of dopant types (anion: Cl and F; cation: Fe and Zn) on the phase transformation, crystallite size, lattice parameters, and lattice strain of TiO2 powder is investigated by Rietveld refinement of X-ray powder ...

Soil, exposed to petroleum oil contaminants (in the form of petrol, diesel, gasoline, crude oil, used motor oil), may cause potential damage to the environment, animal and human health. In this review article, mechanisms ...

Ni/γ-Al2O3 wash coated cordierite monolith catalysts are calcined in air at 800 °C for 4, 10, and 20 h in order to study the effect of calcination time on the activity of the catalysts for dry reforming of model biogas. ...

Hydrogen is contemplated as an alternative clean fuel for the future. Ethanol steam reforming (ESR) is a carbon-neutral, sustainable, green hydrogen production method. Low cost Ni/Al2O3 and Ni/CeO2 powder catalysts demonstrate ...

Diesel contamination of soil due to oil spills, disposal of refinery waste, oil exploration constitutes a major environmental problem. This paper reports the remediation of diesel contaminated clay soil using Zn/Fe0 ...

We present molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations of hydrogen adsorption on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) with various kinds of defects. The nature of defects, which ...

The hydrogen storage capacity of Titanium-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) containing the Stone-Wales 5,8 defects was studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The equilibrium doping sites and their stability ...
