Kinetics Of Radiation-Stimulated Processes On The Surface Of Oxide Materials, T. Tusseyev Mar 2020

Kinetics Of Radiation-Stimulated Processes On The Surface Of Oxide Materials, T. Tusseyev

Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials

The analysis of the experimental data shows that the processes of gas adsorption and radiation defects accumulation in metal oxides correlate with each other and most likely can be described in terms of equivalent kinetic equations. Given this circumstance, the kinetics of accumulation of radiation defects in oxides of di erent metals was analyzed. The obtained equations were used to analyze: a) the kinetics of accumulation of radiation defects in di erent oxide compounds; b) the data on the destruction of radiationinduced defects in the atmosphere of di erent gases, and on the kinetics of absorption by oxides of oxygen, …


Comparative Evaluation Of The Structural And Other Features Governing Photo-Electrochemical Oxygen Evolution By Ca/Mn Oxides, Ankita Gagrani, Mohammed Alsultan, Gerhard F. Swiegers, Takuya Tsuzuki Jan 2020

Comparative Evaluation Of The Structural And Other Features Governing Photo-Electrochemical Oxygen Evolution By Ca/Mn Oxides, Ankita Gagrani, Mohammed Alsultan, Gerhard F. Swiegers, Takuya Tsuzuki

Mn-Based oxides, particularly CaMn oxides, have recently attracted significant practical interest as a new class of catalyst due to their elemental and structural similarity to the natural oxygen evolving cluster (OEC) in photosynthetic plant cells. However, their performance as oxygen-generating anodes in photoelectrochemical cells has not been studied in detail. In this work, ultra-fine particles of amorphous MnO2, crystalline MnO2 nanorods, Ca2Mn3O8, CaMn2O4 and CaMnO3 were synthesised using a green and scalable mechanochemical method. The particles were comparatively studied as water oxidation photocatalysts in a photo-electrochemical cell at near-neutral pH. The oxides were immobilized on the anode surface using an …


Preparation And Characterisation Of Metallorganic Precursors Derived Iron Oxides On Porous Silicon Layers, Sivakumar Balakrishnan, Yurii K. Gun'ko, Gerhard F. Swiegers, Tatiana S. Perova Jan 2020

Preparation And Characterisation Of Metallorganic Precursors Derived Iron Oxides On Porous Silicon Layers, Sivakumar Balakrishnan, Yurii K. Gun'ko, Gerhard F. Swiegers, Tatiana S. Perova

Porous silicon has generated interest in scientific community after its photoluminescence discovery and thereafter, research was focused on to the chemical functionalization of silicon and subsequent anchoring of nanoparticles onto silicon surface. In the present work, the porous silicon has been effectively modified with magnetic nanoparticles which were prepared through metallorganic approach. The as-fabricated magnetic-porous silicon composites were characterised using FTIR and Raman spectroscopies, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) as well as magnetic measurements.
