Two kinds of boron and nitrogen co-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dominated by bonded or separated B N are intentionally prepared, which present distinct oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performances. The experimental theoretical results indicate that the case cannot, while one can, turn inert CNTs into ORR electrocatalysts. This progress demonstrates crucial role doping microstructure on performance, is significance in exploring advanced C-based metal-free

Bor wirkt leistungssteigernd: Ein metallfreier Elektrokatalysator aus bordotierten Kohlenstoffnanoröhren erzielt gute Ergebnisse in der Sauerstoffreduktion. DFT-Rechnungen zufolge liegt dies an einer verstärkten O2-Chemisorption und dem effektiven Einsatz von π-Elektronen des infolge Bordotierung konjugierten Kohlenstoffmaterials. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They...

Abstract Different morphologies of copper and oxide nanocrystallites, including radially arrayed whiskers, cubic particles sphere particles, have been successfully synthesized by a microwave‐induced method under ambient conditions. In aqueous solution containing different ethylene glycol concentrations, acetate hydrate produces reduction products. The as‐prepared crystallites were characterized various techniques, X‐ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, selected‐area...

Ni2+ and H2PO2− with a molar ratio of 1/3 were heated at 423 K in eutectic mixture composed choline chloride urea, resulting the formation mesoporous amorphous material surface area about 210 m2 g−1. Heat treatment this H2 673 led to crystalline Ni2P (25%) supported on Ni3(PO4)2-Ni2P2O7 (shortened as NiPO) 130 The NiPO was presumably produced from reaction unreduced PO43− formed oxidation mixture, which might also act template for mesopores NiPO. catalyst 25% Ni2P/NiPO exhibited quite high...

AlGaN ternary alloys have unique properties suitable for numerous applications due to their tunable direct band gap from 3.4 6.2 eV by changing the composition. Herein we report a convenient chemical vapor deposition growth of quasi-aligned AlxGa1−xN alloy nanocones over entire composition range. The were grown on Si substrates in large area reactions between GaCl3, AlCl3 vapors, and NH3 gas under moderate temperature around 700 °C. as-prepared wurtzite single-crystalline structure...

This work presents the accelerated dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) at 85 °C under carbon dioxide atmosphere. The presence CO2 significantly enhances thermolysis kinetics, and hydrogen release becomes faster as pressure increases from 1.70 to 3.67 bar. Around 4 bar CO2, 1.33 equiv is released AB in 1 h. due reacting with AB, or intermediates like diammoniate diborane (DADB), primary products including linear dimers aminoborane (LDAB), which accelerates thermolysis, this reaction has...

Abstract: Realgar is a poorly water-soluble compound that exhibits poor bioavailability. To improve this, the authors reduced particle size of realgar to nanoscale by high-energy ball milling and optimized preparation process under which (realgar weight 40 g, time 9 hours, speed 38 Hz, temperature -20°C) nanoparticles (NPs) with an average 78±8.3 nm were prepared. The was characterized laser scattering, its apparent shape observed transmission electron microscopy scanning microscopy....

Abstract Self‐assembly monolayer (SAM) hole transporters, consisting of anchoring, spacer, and terminal groups, have played a significant role in the development inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, weak interaction between hydrophobic group SAMs limits surface wettability interface stability. To address this issue, two novel transporters (named DBPP Poly‐DBPP) with centrosymmetric biphosphonic acid groups are developed. Unlike conventional SAM Poly‐DBPP can anchor to underlying...

Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely considered as one of the promising candidates for replacing fluorine‐doped tin oxide (FTO)/platinum (Pt) electrodes to reduce fabrication cost dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Here, we report that a bilayer transparent film containing N‐doped CNTs (which are highly catalytic) and normal conductive) counter electrode in DSSCs results efficiencies up 2.18 %, yet still maintains good transparency with transmittance approximately 57 % at 550 nm.

This paper presents enhanced dehydrogenation of solid ammonia borane (AB, NH3BH3) at 85 °C after it was preheated 80 for 2−4 h. Thermal treatments and subsequent hydrogen release experiments were carried out in a Hastelloy cell mounted on high-pressure differential scanning calorimeter. With increased preheating durations, not only does the induction period shorten but also becomes fast. It is deduced that diammoniate diborane (DADB, [(NH3)2BH2]+[BH4]−), oligomers or polymers, AB form...
