Local supersaturation and the growth of protective scales during CO2 corrosion of steel: Effect of pH and solution flow
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
By correlating in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements with electrochemical measurements using a rotating disc electrode, we demonstrate the critical dependence on the local supersaturation of the kinetics of ...
Eco-friendly highly efficient BN/rGO/TiO2 nanocomposite visible-light photocatalyst for phenol mineralization
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Boron nitride (BN) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) of different loadings were composited with commercial P25 TiO2 (Ti) through the hydrothermal method. The as-prepared nanocomposites were characterized using various ...
Synthesis and Optimization of a Highly Stable and Efficient BN/TiO2 Nanocomposite for Phenol Degradation: A Photocatalytic, Mechanistic and Environmental Impact Study
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
Different BN/TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared hydrothermally, and their ratio was optimized to get the best photocatalytic performance towards phenol degradation. They were characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ...
