The construction of a heterojunction by coupling two semiconductor photocatalysts with appropriate band positions can effectively reduce the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers, thus improving their catalytic efficiency. Recently, ZnO photocatalysts have been highly sought after in the synthesis of semiconductor heterostructures due to...

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the key anodic reaction in electrochemical water splitting. OER is a four-electron process with sluggish reaction kinetics. RuO2 and IrO2 are the benchmark catalysts for OER. Thus, finding a low-cost, earth-abundant, and stable electrocatalyst for OER is a big challenge. In this work, we report OER over Se-CuO...

Herein, we report syntheses of microporous and mesoporous mixed metal oxides templated via an anionic surfactant. The effects of acid treatment, solvent type, and the amount of metal incorporation were investigated. Two different cobalt–manganese oxide spinels that were synthesized with surface areas as high as 137 m²/g were obtained. These nanomat...

The samples of lithium zirconium silicate were prepared by precipitation, template and sol-gel methods. The samples were prepared with several mol ratios of Li:Zr:Si. The preparation of lithium zirconium silicate samples by precipitation method were carried out by using the lithium nitrate, zirconyl nitrate, zirconium(IV) oxypropoxide and tetrameth...

The adsorbent particles of lithium zirconium silicate were prepared by precipitation, template and sol-gel methods for the CO2 capture. The synthesis was performed with several mol ratios Li: Zr: Si. The particles were prepared by using the lithium nitrate, zirconyl nitrate, zirconium (IV) oxypropoxide and tetramethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as precurs...
