Catalytic Decomposition of Methanol Effected by Cu-ZnO@C Nanoreactors

Hong C.-I., Jou C.-J.G., Paul Wang H., Peng C.-Y., Sun I.-W., Wei Y-L, National Cheng Kung University, TW

Decomposition of methanol (DM) to CO and H2 can be catalyzed by Cu-ZnO@C core-shell and Cu-ZnO○yC yolk-shell nanoreactors at 473-573 K. It is found that the reactivity of DM catalyzed by the nanoreactors increases with [...]

Chemical structure of ZnO nanorod array on a DSSC photoanode

Chang Y-H, Chiang Y-F, Fukushima Y., Guo T-F, Liao C-Y, Wang H.P., Wei Y-L, National Cheng Kung University, TW

The main objective of the present work was to study speciation of ZnO nanorods and the photoexcited electron transfer between photosensitive dyes and the ZnO nanorod arrays (Fig. 1) on the photoanode of a dye-sensitized [...]

Preparation of nitrogen-doped mesoporous TiO2 with a room-temperature ionic liquid

Hsiung T-L, Wang H.P., Wei Y-L, National Cheng Kung University, TW

A nitrogen-doped mesoporous TiO2 (N-TiO2) was synthesized using a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) (C4mimBF4) as the template. By 1H NMR (Figure 1), interactions between Ti and nitrogen of the RTIL are observed. The nanosize mesoporous [...]
