Fuel cells powered directly with ethanol (Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell-DEFC) are very attractive for the possibility of using a renewable fuel in the generation of clean energy. However, it is still necessary to deepen the understanding of catalytic processes and their dependence on the catalytic properties. This work proposes to study the catalytic activity of ethanol oxidation in an alkaline medium of Pd nanoparticles supported in carbon oxide hybrids using various transition metal oxides (MoO3, TiO2, WO3 and ZrO2). The materials prepared were characterized by techniques such as X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) to verify the structure, the distribution of particles in the supports and the presence of Pd on particles oxide. Experiments of X-rays absorption spectroscopy were carried out using soft X-rays (SXS) to evaluate the changes in the electronic properties of the Pd particles caused by interactions with different oxides. Measurements of cyclic voltammetry and potential sweeps of adsorbed CO oxidation allowed evaluating general aspects of the catalysts' electrochemical behavior and determining the electrochemically active area thereof. The catalytic performances of ethanol oxidation in alkaline medium were evaluated by electrochemical techniques (potential scan and chronoamperometry), and showed an improvement in activity with the addition of oxides in material containing only carbon, which was most pronounced for the catalyst containing TiO2. This improvement was predominantly associated with the electronic effects caused by the interaction of Pd on the support, causing a vacancy in the 4d band of Pd which, in turn, produces variations in adsorption energies of the species...

The present work aims to study one-dimensional nanomaterials semiconductors grown via by phase systems Grande oxides Technological Interest for applications in gas sensors. The Used material was tin oxide (SnO2) for their functional properties, and the grow method was the Polymeric Precursors. The films grown were the nanomaterials about substrates of alumina, deposited via spin coating technique, followed by heat treatment at 300C for 1 hour and 650C for 2 hours. Later the films of Performance sensors (sensitivity, speed response, selectivity, and stability) will be in avaliated in a hermetic chamber with controlled atmosphere and temperature. The synthesized materials were its structural and morphological properties characterized in atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (not have this result with Me). We sought to investigate one influence of different conditions for obtaining films (Variation Layers number) in structural and microstructural properties of semiconductors oxides. The synthesis method proved very effective, generating films with micro definitely, uniformity of the nanoparticles and hum high level of porosity, what makes the material of a viable final paragraph applicability

O diagnóstico precoce de diversas doenças, principalmente o câncer, é fundamental para o seu combate. Atualmente, muitos avanços têm sido feitos na área de nanotecnologia no sentido de desenvolver sistemas com aplicação na área biomédica e em bioimagem para o diagnóstico de doenças. Nesse contexto, nano-cristais semicondutores de ZnO apresentam elevado potencial como marcadores para aplicações biológicas devido á suas propriedades luminescentes. A fotoluminescência de pontos quânticos (PQs) de ZnO envolve dois aspectos: a emissão excitônica fraca na região do UV e a ampla emissão visível induzida por efeito da superfície PQ. Estudos sinalizam que na síntese de nanopartículas de ZnO, a introdução de magnésio (Mg) como dopante leva a uma mudança significativa no tamanho e forma dos nano-cristais, potencializando as propriedades de luminescência. Entretanto, ainda é um desafio para os pesquisadores obter nanopartículas de ZnO aptas a serem incorporados em nanocarreadores e que sejam estáveis em meio biológico. Desta forma, este trabalho, apresenta como objetivo principal a obtenção de pontos quânticos de ZnO dopados com Mg e recobertos com ácido cítrico e 3-Glycidilpropriltrimetóxisilano (GPTMS) como modificadores de superfície para prover estabilidade em meio biológico. Eles poderão posteriormente ser incorporados em sistemas carreadores a fim de constituir sistemas estáveis com potencialização das propriedades luminescentes dos PQs e, portanto, aptos para aplicação como material de diagnóstico em sistemas biológicos
