“…The peaks witnessed at ∼ 3221, ∼1410, and ∼584 cm –1 are ascribed to −OH, NO, and Ni–C–Ni, respectively, which indicate the presence of metal by corroborating well with XRD. In addition to this, EMAC-700 showed characteristic peaks at ∼3440, ∼2887, ∼2341, ∼1640, ∼1250, and ∼1054 cm –1 attributed to −OH, C–H, CO 2 gas phase, CC, CN, and CO, respectively. , This specifies the self-doping of heteroatoms like nitrogen as well as oxygen in EMAC-700, which is effective for improving the wettability.…”
