    Abstract: The role perovskite-type CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) dope by molybdenum (Mo) on the microstructure, dielectric properties and the temperature dependence of Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) has been investigated in this work. The solid state reaction has been used to synthesize CCTO ceramic samples. Substitution on Ti-site by Mo helps to increase the grain size... Show More

    Abstract: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes/ZrO2-Pt(MWCNTs/ZrO2-Pt) composite was synthesized by a chemical route. The structure and composition of the MWCNTs/ZrO2-Pt composite were confirmed by means of transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Due to the good electrochemical activity property of MWCNTs/ZrO2-Pt composite, a glucose biosensor was ... Show More
