Abstract We investigated the role of metal atomization and solvent decomposition into reductive species carbon clusters in phase formation transition‐metal carbides (TMCs; namely, Co 3 C, Fe TiC, MoC) by pulsed laser ablation Co, Fe, Ti, Mo metals acetone. The interaction between s – p ‐orbitals d‐orbitals causes a redistribution valence structure through charge transfer, leading to surface defects as observed X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. These influence evolved TMCs, making them...
Electrocatalytic urea oxidation reaction (UOR) has emerged as a promising alternative to the anodic oxygen evolution (OER) in water electrolysis. However, UOR faces challenges like slow kinetics, high energy barriers, and complex mechanism, necessitating development of efficient electrocatalysts. Herein, rapid method is proposed for synthesizing Mo‐doped Ni/NiO (Ni/MNO) nanocomposite highly effective electrocatalyst. Mo doping oxidizes Ni 2+ 3+ , creating abundant active sites UOR. The...

We investigated the temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) properties of colloidal CsPbX3 (X = Br, I, and mixed Br/I) quantum dot (QD) samples in 30–290 K temperature range. Temperature-dependent PL experiments reveal thermal quenching PL, blue shifting optical band gaps, line width broadening for all QD with increasing temperature. Interestingly, side-peak emissions that are spectrally separated from excitonic peaks were observed both CsPbBr3 CsPb(Br/I)3 at temperatures below ∼250 K....
Eliminating harmful organic pollutants from contaminated water remains an urgent problem to be solved. Taking Rhodamine B (RhB) as a representative pollutant we sought design facile and scalable synthesis of BiFeO3/CeVO4 (BFO/CVO) nanocomposite catalyst for the degradation under visible light. BFO nanorods CVO nanoparticles were fabricated using single-step hydrothermal routes resulting materials could easily combined simple wet-chemical precipitation method. From morphological studies, pure...
The present study details the strategic development of Co-doped CuO nanostructures via sophisticated and expedited pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) technique. Subsequently, these structures are employed as potent electrocatalysts for anodic methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), offering an alternative to sluggish oxygen evolution (OER). Electrochemical assessments indicate that Co-CuO catalyst exhibits exceptional MOR activity, requiring a reduced potential 1.42 V at 10 mA cm
