The pursuit of low-cost, facilely synthesized, and highly efficient noble metal-free electrocatalysts for water splitting has gained momentum. In this context, two-dimensional (2D) MXenes have emerged as promising electrocatalyst materials. study, we report an approach to improve the overall reactivity Ti3C2 MXene by modifying synthesis Ti3AlC2 MAX phase. phase was synthesized through conventional heat treatment under Ar atmosphere at 1400 °C 1 min, employing a carefully selected...
Abstract Carbon coated nano molybdenum carbide (Mo 2 C) has been synthesized at 800 °C through single step reduction route using trioxide (MoO 3 ) as a precursor, polypropylene (P.P) carbon source and magnesium (Mg) catalyst in an autoclave. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis techniques (TG/DTA/DTG), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) transmission (TEM). Williamson- Hall (W-H) done to estimate various parameters like strain, stress...
Light atmospheric species such as helium (He) serve tracers of global circulation in Mars' upper atmosphere (>100 km). Due to its low mass and large scale-height, He exhibits unique behaviour, including the formation bulges, their spatiotemporal variations, response Global Dust Storm (GDS). The significant variability observed during nominal dust conditions (i.e., absence a GDS) highlights helium's sensitivity across different locations seasons on Mars. In recent years, seminal studies...
The increasing prevalence of pesticide-resistant pests and the negative environmental impacts chemical pesticides have prompted researchers to explore alternative pest control strategies that are efficient, eco-friendly, sustainable. Nanotechnology offers innovative solutions for developing eco-friendly address limitations conventional pesticides. potential various nanomaterials, including metal nanoparticles, oxide carbon-based nano emulsions, biogenic insect management. Studies indicate...
Abstract Nanocrystalline molybdenum disilicide (MoSi 2 ) is synthesized in a specially designed autoclave at 900°C. The XRD results revealed that the formation of MoSi favorable with blend MoO 3 , Si, and Mg powders. HR ‐ TEM SAED patterns confirm phase. structural parameters (crystallite size, strain, stress, deformation energy density) are calculated using Williamson‐Hall (W‐H) analysis. mechanism involved synthesis proposed. nonisothermal oxidation kinetics (~1200°C) phase examined...
