Dyes are routinely used in the textile and pharmaceutical industries, causing serious environmental issues by decreasing water quality. Photocatalysts for dye degradation, different acting mechanisms may occur during photodegradation process. In this study, Ni nanoparticles were heated to selected temperatures up 500 °C under an ambient atmosphere subsequently supported on SrTiO3. The samples characterized X-ray diffraction, small-angle scattering, transmission electron microscopy,...

Understanding the behavior of ions at electrified interfaces is crucial for vast majority electrochemical processes, including energy storage, corrosion, and catalysis. The electric double layer (EDL), formed interface between an electrode electrolyte, plays a pivotal role in governing these processes. In particular, large with weak charge, such as cesium, exhibit extraordinary behaviors EDL, rendering means to manipulate EDL properties solvation, potential drop local hydrophilicity. this...

The development of thermally stable nanoparticles is utmost importance for applications like catalysis. In particular, Cu supported on metal oxides are easily deactivated under thermal treatments at low temperatures by sintering the nanoparticles. formation typically obtained with secondary drawbacks. this study, an alternative method avoiding proposed. based impregnation dithiol molecules oxide support before supporting able to avoid nanoparticle diffusion, thus decreasing coalescence rate....
