Abstract

Solution combustion approach based synthesis of porous nanocomposites for 4-nitrophenol reduction.

Chemistry of iron and copper co-doped zinc oxide: reduction and degradation of pollutants

“…44,45 The particles for ICZ-C15 seem to have a one-dimensional rod-type morphology. As seen from the author's previous studies, 46 the one-dimensional morphology was also not due to copper, confirming that it is due to iron. Tuning the spherical morphologies is a crucial strategy for enhancing material applications such as in sensing and catalysis.…”

“…6d and S4,† inset image). 46,49,50 The distortion created on ICZ-C15 caused by the addition of copper and iron as dopants in the ZnO lattice was confirmed by the slight difference in the ZnO crystallographic plane lattice fringe values between single ZnO NPs and ICZ-C15. 51,52 The higher crystalline properties of the ICZ-C15 crystal than those of ZnO were further confirmed by SAED ring analysis (Fig.…”

Fabrication of highly stretchable salt and solvent blended PEDOT:PSS/PVA free-standing films: non-linear to linear electrical conduction response

“…38 200), ( 220) and (311) reection planes of the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase of silver respectively. 51,52 The crystallite size is estimated using the Debye-Scherrer equation:…”

Optically amended biosynthesized crystalline copper-doped ZnO for enhanced antibacterial activity

“…5d, inset image), which are also matching with the (002) and (200) crystal planes of ZnO and CuO, respectively. 31,32 There is a slight ZnO crystallographic plane lattice fringe value difference between single ZnO and GCD-Z10.5 that is probably due to the effect of copper inclusion in the ZnO lattice as a dopant, leading to slight distortion. 33,34 The HRTEM image also conrmed the more crystalline nature of the GCD-Z10.5 crystal than that of ZnO, which is also clearly observed as shown in the SAED ring analysis (Fig.…”
