Abstract Nanometric powder particles of white zirconia were synthesized through precursor route by the pyrolysis zirconium (IV) butoxide at varied temperatures in air ranging from 900–1400 °C and predominantly monoclinic nature. To control defect chemistry, was also pyrolyzed a reduced atmosphere 900 °C, eventually resulting black zirconia. The stabilization tetragonal phase observed color change to samples under attributed creation oxygen vacancies disorder. produced delineated influence...
Abstract To advance the MXene field, it is crucial to optimize each step of synthesis process and create a detailed, systematic guide for synthesizing high‐quality that can be consistently reproduced. In this study, detailed provided an optimized titanium carbide (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) using mixture hydrofluoric hydrochloric acids selective etching stoichimetric‐Ti AlC MAX phase delamination etched multilayered Ti lithium chloride at 65 °C 1 h with argon bubbling. The effect different variables...
We report the unique actuation characteristics of moisture-driven, fully reversible soft biopolymer films fabricated from Bombyx mori silk. The instantaneous is driven by water vapor induced stress gradient generated across thickness film, and it possesses subsecond response times. excellent durability consistent performance film without any noticeable fatigue are established subjecting to more than a thousand continuous cycles. weight-lifting capability fascinating, where few tens...
Abstract In this work, nanocomposites made of nanosized zirconia crystallized in situ an amorphous silicon oxycarbo(nitride) (SiOC(N)) matrix have been designed through a precursor route for visible light photocatalytic applications. The relative volume fraction the starting precursors and pyrolysis temperatures not only influences phase crystallites but also stabilizes tetragonal crystal structure ( t -ZrO 2 ) at room temperature. presence carbon interstitial sites oxygen vacancy defects...
This research intends to formulate Ocimum sanctum mediated pure and transition metal (Co2+/ Cu2+/ Zn2+) doped magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs). The cubic structure of so synthesized MgO NPs was confirmed by XRD analysis. As per UV-visible spectral analysis, band gap (Eg) is tuned upon doping; doping with Co, Cu Zn, their respective Eg are 1.65 eV, 1.96 eV 3.66 in relation MgO, = 3.50 eV. average particle size decreased from 17 nm for 8–13 NPs, based on TEM EDX XPS analysis verified...
Abstract In this work, we report the thermodynamic modeling of Ta–N–O system using Calphad approach combined with ab initio calculations and experiments. The formation enthalpies stable certain metastable compounds Ta–N systems were computed density functional theory (DFT) to serve as inputs for Gibbs energy modeling. DFT study has confirmed an equilibrium phase. Hence, phase is included a in system. Wherever feasible, have performed phonon estimate heat capacities compounds. TaON measured...
The crystallization kinetics of [(Fe0.5Co0.5)0.75B0.2Si0.05]96Nb4 and {[(Fe0.5Co0.5)0.75B0.2Si0.05]0.96Nb0.04}99.5Cu0.5 bulk metallic glasses were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry under non-isothermal condition. fully glassy rods with diameters up to 2 mm obtained by copper mold injection casting. Both show good thermal stability, but the addition only 0.5% Cu completely changes behavior. average activation energy required for decreases from 645 kJ/mol 425 after addition....
In this current investigation, we elucidated the microwave-assisted green synthesis of 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30 CuO–Co3O4 nanocomposites (NCs) from Ipomoea carnea leaf extract, manifesting their remarkable antibacterial, photocatalytic, antioxidant capabilities. The spectroscopic techniques XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, FTIR, UV–visible spectroscopy were employed to validate formation synthesized NCs. SEM TEM images revealed distinctive snowball-rod distorted spherical structures in nanocomposites,...
