In this study, a facile spray pyrolysed hydrophobic robust tungsten oxide (WO3) films were deposited at an annealing temperature of 400°C on inexpensive glass substrates, using clear and homogeneous precursor solution containing tungsten hexachloride and 2-methoxyethanol. The 10 and 15 times sprayed films were polycrystalline with the monoclinic cr...

The high activation energy required for graphite–diamond transition limits its applicability in novel areas. To exploit fully the multifunctional properties of diamond in diverse fields, there is a necessity to explore more efficient ways for its synthesis. In this study, we have demonstrated a new approach for nanodiamonds formation by employing a...

Antibiotic resistance has increased to dangerous levels across the globe. A growing list of bacterial infections that lead to blood poisoning or foodborne disease now represent a clinical challenge due to the loss of antibiotic efficacy. Studies on the antibacterial performance of Ag nanoparticles and other transitional metal oxides have gained att...

InxGa1–xN ternary alloys are very promising for a variety of applications. However, high-quality growth of InxGa1–xN alloys, particularly in the intermediate In composition range, is very difficult. This study reports on a systematic analysis of the Raman spectra from the InxGa1–xN alloys grown by radio-frequency molecular beam epitaxy (RF-MBE) for...

Multiferroic composite with the general formula (1 − x)BaTiO3−xCoFe2O4 (x = 0.05, 0.15, 0.25, 0.35 and 0.45) has been synthesized by a standard solid-state reaction route. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the existence of ferrite (spinel CoFe2O4) and ferroelectric (tetragonal BaTiO3) biphase without any impurity phases in the sintered com...

AbstractThick coatings, up to few microns, of the active material are necessary for the preparation and commercialization of electrode materials for energy storage applications, as thin layers of active material drains out of the current collector after a few cycles. Moreover, larger mass loading of the active material is required for high energy d...
