In the present study, a nanocrystalline Ni-Fe matrix with reinforced TiO₂ nanoparticles as a functional nanocomposite material was fabricated by pulsed current electroforming in UV-LIGA (lithography, electroplating, and molding). The influences of Ti...

The FTO/ITO transparent conductive films currently used in photoelectrochemical devices limit performance improvement due to their low conductivity, poor flexibility, and inability to transmit UV light. Ag nanowire-based films are a very promising al...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous coordination polymers with interesting structural frameworks, properties, and a wide range of applications. A novel 3D cadmium(II)-carboxylate framework, CdMOF ([Cd₂(L)(DMF)(H₂O)₂]_n), was synthesized by the...

Six new three-dimensional metal–organic frameworks based on early lanthanide(III) cations and trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (H₂chdc) were obtained. Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis....

Inorganic materials with layered perovskite structures have a wide range of physical and chemical properties. Layered perovskites based on BaLa_nIn_nO_3n+1 (n = 1, 2) were recently investigated as protonic conductors. This work focused on the oxygen ion...

One of the global problems is environmental pollution by different biowaste. To solve the problem, biowaste must be recycled. Waste-free technology is also a way of saving exhaustible raw materials. Research on electrochemical energy sources is curre...

Synthetic saponite clay was impregnated with either linear saturated or unsaturated aldehydes through an incipient-wetness deposition approach. To increase the aldehyde loading, saponite was also intercalated with positively charged cetyltrimethylamm...

It has been shown that the interaction of tris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium dichloride RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃ (1) with 10-vertex monocarborane [6-Ph-nido-6-CB₉H₁₁]⁻[Et₄N]⁺ (2) under mild thermolysis conditions is not selective due to the undesired coordi...

Pure TiO₂ synthesized by the sol-gel method and subsequently deposited at 5% by weight with Co, Cu, Fe, and Ni ions by the deposition–precipitation method was studied as photocatalysts. The nanomaterials were analyzed by SEM, TEM, UV-Vis DRS, D...

In this study, four new Secnidazole metal complexes have been synthesized through the reaction of Secnidazole drug with AuCl3, PtCl2, PdCl2, AgNO3 salts. The structures of the synthesized complexes were elucidated using elemental analysis, molar cond...
