Magnetic aligned sulfonated carbon nanotube/Nafion composite membranes with anisotropic mechanical and proton conductive properties
Nafion composite membranes with various amounts of sulfonated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Su-CNTs) were prepared either in or without a strong magnetic field. Interestingly, it is found that being recast in...

Effect of holmium do** on the structure and photocatalytic behavior of TiO2-based nanosheets
A series of holmium-doped TiO2-based nanosheet (Ho-TNS) photocatalysts with different Ho/Ti molar ratios were prepared via a simple hydrothermal method. The photocatalysts were characterized by field-emission sca...
