Journal ArticleDOI

The role of heteroatoms in carbon nanotubes for hydrogen storage

TL;DR: In this paper, the Universal Force Field and Density Functional Theory have been used to find the role of heteroatom substitution in carbon nanotubes as an activator for hydrogen adsorption/absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photocatalytic reduction of nitrite and nitrate ions to ammonia on M/TiO2 catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, the yield of ammonia was found to depend on the nature, amount of metal and the method of metallization, and an optimum metal content is beneficial for the activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerium incorporated ordered manganese oxide OMS-2 materials: Improved catalysts for wet oxidation of phenol compounds

TL;DR: In this paper, a cryptomelane type manganese oxide OMS-2 material was synthesized by redox reaction between potassium permanganate and Manganese sulphate in acidic medium under reflux or hydrothermal crystallization conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrogen Incorporation in TiO2: Does It Make a Visible Light Photo-Active Material?

TL;DR: In this article, the state and location of nitrogen introduced in TiO2 lattice and how far the shift of optical response to visible radiation can be beneficial for the observed photo-catalysis were examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen storage in boron substituted carbon nanotubes

TL;DR: In this paper, a template assisted synthesis of boron substituted carbon nanotubes was carried out by carbonization of hydroborane polymer in alumina membrane template using electron microscopic analysis, FT-Raman and FT-IR, XRD, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and 13C and 11B MAS NMR.
