On-chip growth of one-dimensional In2O3 nanostructures by vapor trapping method and their comparative gas-sensing performance

On-chip growth of one-dimensional In2O3 nanostructures by vapor trapping method and their comparative gas-sensing performance

In this study, we use the chemical vapour deposition trapping method to grow various one-dimensional (1D) indium oxide (In2O3) nanostructures, namely nanorods (NRs), nanoneedles (NNs), and nanowires (NWs). The structural and morphological characteristi…

Grewia tenax bark extract mediated silver nanoparticles as an antibacterial, antibiofilm and antifungal agent

Grewia tenax plant possesses many medicinal qualities that can be harnessed for bio-applications via nanotechnology in a cost-effective and environment-friendly manner. The synthesised silver nanoparticles (GTB-AgNPs) from Grewia tenax bark extract wer…

Mechanism of simultaneous photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B and Cr(VI) under visible light using WO3 nanotubes

Mechanism of simultaneous photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B and Cr(VI) under visible light using WO3 nanotubes

A hydrothermal method was used to synthesise WO3 nanotubes, which were analysed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and UV–Vis spectroscopy for morphological, structural, and optical properties. TEM revealed na…

The effect of nickel oxide in the direct growth of MnOx on Ni foam by chemical vapor deposition

The effect of nickel oxide in the direct growth of MnOx on Ni foam by chemical vapor deposition

Manganese oxide has emerged as a promising material for use as a charge storage electrode material. In this work, we demonstrate the low-pressure chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of manganese oxide conformal coatings on Ni-foams utilising an MnC…

Enhanced formic acid electro-oxidation reaction over Ir,N-doped TiO2-supported Pt nanocatalyst

Enhanced formic acid electro-oxidation reaction over Ir,N-doped TiO2-supported Pt nanocatalyst

In this work, we prepared an Ir,N-doped TiO2 nanomaterial via a facile HNO3-assisted hydrothermal process that was used as an advanced support for nano-sized Pt nanoparticles (NPs) for the formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR). The physical and electro…
