Photocatalytic activity of commercial TiO2 oxides in the oxidation reaction of nitric oxide

Luévano-Hipólito E., Martínez-de la Cruz A., López-Gallegos V.M., Garza-del Bosque H., Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, MX

In this work will be explored the potential application of six commercial titanium oxides with different crystalline structures to act as an efficient photocatalyst in the conversion reaction of NOx gases to innocuous products as [...]

Properties of nonpremixed ammonia-substituted hydrogen-air flames

Joo J.M., Um D.H., Kwon O.C., Sungkyunkwan University, KR

The effects of ammonia (NH3) substitution on the extinction and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions of nonpremixed hydrogen (H2)-air flames at normal temperature and pressure were experimentally studied to evaluate the potential of partial NH3 substitution [...]

Properties of nonpremixed ammonia-substituted hydrogen-air flames

Joo J.M., Um D.H., Kwon O.C., Sungkyunkwan University, KR

The effects of ammonia (NH3) substitution on the extinction and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions of nonpremixed hydrogen (H2)-air flames at normal temperature and pressure were experimentally studied to evaluate the potential of partial NH3 substitution [...]

Ordered mesoporous films of TiO2 as highly efficient photocatalysts for clean environment

Rathousky J., Kalousek V., Walsh C., J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry, CZ

Photocatalytic oxidation is a promising technology for the purification of air. Providing the surfaces of objects with a finish which is photocatalytically active and exhibits stable illumination-induced superhydrophilicity, is a promising route how to render [...]

Polymer nanocomposite based chemiresistive gas sensors

Meka D.A., George L.A., Prasad S., Portland State University, US

We present here the development of a polymer nanocomposite based gas sensor for detecting trace gas emissions in ambient environment. This project is aimed to build a chemiresistive gas sensor with excellent sensitivity and improved [...]

Structure-property relationships in Pd/Polycarbonate based chemical sensors

Atre S.V., Valmikanathan O.P., Meka D.B., Prasad S., Oregon Nanoscience & Microtechnologies Institute, US

The effects of nanparticle surface chemistry, size, concentration and distribution on the properties of Pd/polycarbonate nanocomposites was investigated. Interesting trends in electrical conductivity and thermal stability of the nanomposites were identified. These trends were used [...]
