The shuttling behavior and sluggish conversion kinetics of the intermediate lithium polysulfides (LiPS) represent the main obstructions to the practical application of lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein, a 1D p–d ...

A catalytic membrane reactor equipped with Pd–Ag metallic membranes and loaded with PdZn/ZnAl2O4/Al2O3 catalytic pellets was tested for the methanol steam reforming reaction (S/C = 1) aimed at producing a pure hydrogen ...

Noble metal decoration of wideband gap semiconductors enables the excitation of surface plasmons in the visible range that upon relaxation generate hot carriers used for catalysis. However, this strategy leads to photocatalytic ...

SBA-15 mesoporous silica materials with zirconium atoms incorporated into its structure were prepared by two methods: direct-synthesis and pH-adjustment. Two nominal ratios of Zr/Si = 0 and 0.10 were evaluated. N2-physisorption, ...

Ceria-supported Ni-Ru bimetallic catalysts with different metal loadings have been prepared by co-impregnation, characterized and tested in the production of hydrogen from the catalytic decomposition of ammonia. The ...

Solution synthesis of particles emerges as an alternative to prepare thermoelectric materials with less demanding processing conditions than conventional solid-state synthetic methods. However, solution synthesis generally ...
