Studies on structural, spectral and morphological properties of co-precipitation derived Co-doped ZnO nanocapsules for NO2 sensing applications
Pristine and Co-doped ZnO (CZ) nanocapsules (NCs) have been successfully prepared using a simple and cost-effective co-precipitation method. The effect of 1–4 at.% Co-doped ZnO (C1Z–C4Z) samples on physicochemica...

Diffusion of propylene adsorbed in Na-Y and Na-ZSM5 zeolites: Neutron scattering and FTIR studies
Here we report the quasielastic neutron scattering and FTIR studies on the dynamics of propylene adsorbed in Na-Y and Na-ZSM5 zeolites. QENS data show that although the mechanism of translational motion of pro...

FTIR studies on the CO, CO2 and H2 co-adsorption over Ru-RuO x /TiO2 catalyst
FTIR spectra of a Ru-RuOx/TiO2 catalyst obtained on co-adsorption of CO, CO2 and H2 in the temperature range of 300–500 K were found to be the sum total of corresponding spectra observed during methanation of ind...
