CO2 adsorption on porous NiO as a cathode material for molten carbonate fuel cells

Electrodeposition of NiO/YSZ from hydroalcoholic solutions containing Chitosan

“…3 and 4 we report ΔP vs. Q for fresh and aged baths, respectively. We did not try to measure the exact density of our deposits, but on the basis of literature results for cognate systems [36,37] we can estimate that a weight-gain of 1 mg cm − 2 corresponds to ca. 1.8 μm.…”

Copper oxide-decorated porous carbons for carbon dioxide adsorption behaviors

“…Improved technologies for the capture of carbon dioxide are necessary to achieve low energy penalties. Adsorption is considered to be among the promising technologies available for capturing carbon dioxide from flue gases [4][5][6][7]. The success of such an approach is strongly dependent on the use of suitable adsorbents with good CO 2 selectivity and adsorption capacity, resulting in large specific surface area and viable CO 2 -friendly sites on adsorbent surfaces [7,8].…”

Synthesis of Porous NiO and ZnO Submicro- and Nanofibers from Electrospun Polymer Fiber Templates

“…Nickel oxide (NiO) is an important material extensively used in catalysis, battery cathodes, gas sensors, electrochromic films, magnetic materials, and photovoltaic device [ 10 - 15 ]. Improvement of the SSA of NiO nanomaterials can greatly enhance their applications especially for catalysts and supercapacitors [ 16 - 18 ]. Another oxide material studied here is zinc oxide (ZnO), which is a metal oxide semiconductor with wide bandgap of 3.37 eV and high exciton binding energy of 60 meV, and it possesses unique optical, acoustical, and electronic properties that stimulate wide research interest in blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs), field-effect transistors (FET), ultraviolet laser diodes (LD), chemical sensors, acousto-electrical devices, catalysts, and dye-sensitized solar cells [ 19 - 22 ].…”
