Chemical challenges during the synthesis of MWCNT-based inorganic nanocomposite materials

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Endre Horvath, Klara Hernadi

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were successfully covered with metal oxides - such as TiO2, ZnO, Al2O3, SnO2, and In2O3 nanoparticles - with different preparation methods under solvent conditions. The applied synthesis techniques were impregnation, a ...

Is Y-2(B12H12)(3) the main intermediate in the decomposition process of Y(BH4)(3)?

Dodecaborates, i.e. the [B12H12]2- containing species, are often observed as main intermediates in the hydrogen sorption cycle of metal borohydrides, hindering rehydrogenation. In the decomposition process of Y(BH4)3, yttrium octahydrotriborate, i.e. Y(B3H ...
