Cu-modified graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanocomposites for enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction with H2O under UV and visible light irradiations have been investigated. The photocatalysts, prepared by pyrolysis and impregnation were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, FT-IR, … Continue reading →

Abstract: Ag-NPs-promoted TiO2 nanowires (TiO2 NWs) core/shell hetero-junction with plasmonic properties for selective CO production in photo-induced CO2-hydrogen system has been investigated. Ag-NPs were photo-deposited over the TiO2 NWs and characterized by XRD, TEM, N2-adsorption-desorption, XPS, UV–vis and PL spectroscopy. … Continue reading →

Abstract: The effect of quartz and alumina dielectric materials on the efficiency of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) cold plasma reactor using different configurations for dry reforming of methane (DRM) has been investigated. The performance of dielectric materials was analysed at … Continue reading →

Abstract: Biodiesel is a suitable alternative to gasoline and diesel since it emits less carbon emission. There has been a surplus of glycerol in the market due to biodiesel production. Glycerol may be a good source of bio-based feed since … Continue reading →

Abstract: Photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion to chemicals and fuels has gained significant consideration in industrial and scientific research. In this study, photocatalytic CO2 reduction to fuels over Cu-loaded graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) under visible light irradiation has been investigated. The … Continue reading →

Abstract: Fe-promoted titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles dispersed in Montmorillonite (MMT) clay for dynamic photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction to carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons in a monolith photo-reactor has been investigated. MMT-clay supported Fe/TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared by a controlled … Continue reading →

Abstract: Photocatalytic CO2 reduction by H2 to CO via reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction over Montmorillonite (MMT) dispersed TiO2 nanoparticles has been investigated. MMT-clay supported TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared by a controlled and direct sol-gel method and were dip-coated … Continue reading →

Abstract: Selective photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reforming of methane (CH4) to carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons over lanthanum loaded titanium dioxide (La/TiO2) nanoparticles has been investigated. TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with different La-loadings were synthesised using sol-gel method. The catalysts were … Continue reading →

Abstract : In recent years, ethanol steam reforming (ESR) has received considerable attention as a promising route for cleaner H2 production. This process could be industrially advantageous, ideally yielding 6 moles of H2 per mole of ethanol reacted. The major … Continue reading →
