TL;DR: The photocatalytic reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia is influenced by the nature and amount of metal loading on TiO2 and the optimum metal content varies depending on the nature of the metal as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A plausible mechanism has been proposed for the formation of anisotropic Pd nanoparticles and XRD analysis indicates the preferential orientation of catalytically active {111} planes in PD nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase transition of TiO 2 from anatase to rutile crystalline phase, starting at calcination temperature ≥600 ˚C, was revealed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

TL;DR: The functional properties of the composite membrane generated from polyvinyl alcohol, zirconium phosphate and silicotungstic acid are described in this paper, where the fabricated membranes were characterized by using FT-IR, XRD, TGA, DSC and SEM techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, the hydrogen reduction of pure α-Fe 2 O 3 doped with foreign metal oxides employing a sensitive micro-gravimetric technique was carried out by a consecutive two-step mechanism via Fe 3 O 4, the overall rate being controlled by the topochemical reduction of Fe 3 o 4 while that of doped oxides and hematite ore takes place by a different mechanism involving the mixed ferrite formed.
