The effect of gadolinium doping on the structural, magnetic and photoluminescence properties of electrospun bismuth ferrite nanofibers
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)Gadolinium (Gd) doped Bismuth ferrite (BFO) nanofibers (Bi1-xGdxFeO3 (x=0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20)) were synthesized via electrospinning. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis showed that the diameter of the ... -
Gold catalysts supported on ceria doped by rare earth metals for water gas shift reaction: influence of the preparation method
(2009)Gold catalysts based on ceria, doped by various RE metals (La, Sm, Gd, Yb, Y) were studied. The influence of the preparation methods on structure, properties and catalytic activity in the WGS reaction was investigated. The ... -

(2012)In this study, the STF x photocatalyst powder was synthesized with a high temperature solid state reaction. The microstructures and surface of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron ... -
Morphological control of mesoporosity and nanoparticles within Co3O4-CuO electrospun nanofibers: quantum confinement and visible light photocatalysis performance
(American Chemical Society, 2017-09)The one-dimensional (1D) mesoporous and interconnected nanoparticles (NPs) enriched composite Co3O4-CuO nanofibers (NFs) in the ratio Co:Cu = 1/4 (Co3O4-CuO NFs) composite have been synthesized by electrospinning and ... -
Oxygen partial pressure dependence of magnetic, optical and magneto-optical properties of epitaxial cobalt-substituted SrTiO3 films
(OSA - The Optical Society, 2015)Cobalt-substituted SrTiO3 films (SrTi0.70Co0.30O3-δ) were grown on SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition under oxygen pressures ranging from 1 μTorr to 20 mTorr. The effect of oxygen pressure on structural, ... -
Rational synthesis of Na and S co-catalyst TiO2-based nanofibers: presence of surface-layered TiS3 shell grains and sulfur-induced defects for efficient visible-light driven photocatalysis
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)Surface-modified TiO2 nanofibers (NFs) with tunable visible-light photoactive catalysts were synthesised through electrospinning, followed by a sulfidation process. The utilization of sodium-based sulfidation precursors ... -
Role of zinc interstitials and oxygen vacancies of ZnO in photocatalysis: a bottom-up approach to control the defect density
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-06-09)Oxygen vacancies (VOs) in ZnO are well-known to enhance photocatalytic activity (PCA) despite various other intrinsic crystal defects. In this study, we aim to elucidate the effect of zinc interstitials (Zn i) and VOs on ... -
Selective isolation of the electron or hole in photocatalysis: ZnO–TiO2 and TiO2–ZnO core–shell structured heterojunction nanofibers via electrospinning and atomic layer deposition
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-02-06)Heterojunctions are a well-studied material combination in photocatalysis studies, the majority of which aim to improve the efficacy of the catalysts. Developing novel catalysts begs the question of which photo-generated ... -
Surface ionic states and structure of titanate nanotubes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)Here we present an investigation on Zn-Ti-O ternary (zinc titanate) nanostructures which were prepared by a combination of electrospinning and atomic layer deposition. Depending on the ZnO and TiO2 molar ratio, two titanates ... -
Three-dimensional interaction force and tunneling current spectroscopy of point defects on rutile TiO2(110)
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2016)The extent to which point defects affect the local chemical reactivity and electronic properties of an oxide surface was evaluated with picometer resolution in all three spatial dimensions using simultaneous atomic ... -
ZnO nanostructures on electrospun nanofibers by atomic layer deposition/hydrothermal growth and their photocatalytic activity
(Materials Research Society, 2014)A hierarchy of nanostructured-ZnO was fabricated on the electrospun nanofibers by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and hydrothermal growth, subsequently. Firstly, we produced poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) nanofibers via ...
