Abstract:
We report a generalized wet-chemical methodology for the synthesis of transition-metal (M)-doped brookite-phase TiO2 nanorods (NRs) with unprecedented wide-range tunability in dopant composition (M = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mo, etc.). These quadrangular NRs can selectively expose {210} surface facets, which is induced by their strong affinity for oleylamine stabilizer. This structure is well preserved with variable dopant compositions and concentrations, leading to a diverse library of TiO2 NRs wherein the dopants in single-atom form are homogeneously distributed in a brookite-phase solid lattice. This synthetic method allows tuning of dopant-dependent properties of TiO2 nanomaterials for new opportunities in catalysis applications.

For direct-acting pumps, the concrete enters the pump via the inlet valve under the action of gravity and suction created by the movement of the piston. This concrete is then forced into the pipeline and out through the outlet valve by the forward movement...
