Chelation-assisted soft-template synthesis of ordered mesoporous zinc oxides for low concentration gas sensing
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)Semiconductor zinc oxides with a high surface area and porosity offer great potential for their widespread applications, particularly in the areas of optoelectronic devices and solid-state gas sensors owing to their ... -
Conventional and Upcoming Sulfur-Cleaning Technologies for Petroleum Fuel: A Review
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2016 , Article Review)Environmental regulations on the quality of liquid fuels continue to create more requirements to produce a near-to-zero sulfur content. The hydrodesulfurization process has a high running cost and suffers from incomplete ... -
General strategy to synthesize uniform mesoporous TiO2/Graphene/Mesoporous TiO2 sandwich-like nanosheets for highly reversible lithium storage
( American Chemical Society , 2015 , Article)Uniform oxide deposition on graphene to form a sandwich-like configuration is a well-known challenge mainly due to their large lattice mismatches and poor affinities. Herein, we report a general strategy to synthesize ... -
Nematic opto-mechanical actuators for the fabrication of refreshable tactile systems
(2013 , Conference Paper)Nematic elastomers are promising materials for the fabrication of actuators due to their ability to reversibly contract and expand during phase transitions triggered by external stimuli. We present a refreshable tactile ... -
Surfactant-templating strategy for ultrathin mesoporous TiO2 coating on flexible graphitized carbon supports for high-performance lithium-ion battery
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)The electrochemical performance of nanocomposites could greatly be improved by rationally designing flexible core-shell heterostructures. Typically, the uniform coating of a thin mesoporous crystalline transition metal ... -
Towards understanding the effects of climatic and environmental factors on solar PV performance in arid desert regions (Qatar) for various PV technologies
( IEEE , 2012 , Conference Paper)The sensitivity of various solar photovoltaic technologies to dust, temperature and relative humidity is investigated for Qatar's environment. Results obtained show that mono-crystalline PVs have efficiencies as high as ... -
Versatile synthesis of dendritic mesoporous rare earth–based nanoparticles
( American Association for the Advancement of Science , 2022 , Article)Rare earth–based nanomaterials that have abundant optical, magnetic, and catalytic characteristics have many applications. The controllable introduction of mesoporous channels can further enhance its performance, such as ...
