Investigation of the effect of thermal annealing of Ni-cobaltite nanoparticles on their structure, electronic properties and performance as catalysts for the total oxidation of dimethyl ether

Abstract

Herein, we report the influence of thermal annealing on the structural and redox properties, optical band gap and electrical conductivity of Ni-doped Co3O4 NPs and the consequence on their catalytic performance in the DME total oxidation.
