Concurrent adsorption of cationic and anionic dyes from environmental water on amine functionalized carbon
( IWA Publishing , 2020 , Article)Amine functionalized carbon (AFC) was synthesized from raw oil fly ash and later utilized it for simultaneous removal of methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) pollutant dyes from aqueous medium. AFC was analyzed through ... -
Containers' for self-healing epoxy composites and coating : Trends and advances
( BME-PT and GTE , 2016 , Article)The introduction of self-healing functionality into epoxy matrix is an important and challenging topic. Various micro/nano containers loaded self-healing agents are developed and incorporated into epoxy matrix to impart ... -
Decarbonizing Bitcoin: Law and policy choices for reducing the energy consumption of Blockchain technologies and digital currencies
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)The vast transactional, trust and security advantages of Bitcoin are dwarfed by the intentionally resource-intensive design in its transaction verification process which now threatens the climate we depend upon for survival. ... -
Electrical equivalent circuit (EEC) based impedance spectroscopy analysis of HTM free perovskite solar cells
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Monolithic perovskite solar cells (mPSCs) are the multi-layered organic-inorganic hybrid cells that have been focused due to the affordable cost, ease of fabrication, and noteworthy power conversion efficiency (PCE). In ... -
Halloysite Nanotube as Multifunctional Component in Epoxy Protective Coating
( American Chemical Society , 2016 , Article)The current research explores the use of halloysite nanotube as a multifunctional filler in epoxy coating for carbon steel. Epoxy monomer loaded halloysite was incorporated into epoxy coating along with amine hardener ... -
Highly ordered nanoporous carbon films with tunable pore diameters and their excellent sensing properties
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2015 , Article)Ordered porous carbon films with tunable pore diameters, immobilized with glucose oxidase (GOD) have been fabricated and employed for the construction of a biosensor for glucose molecules. The as-prepared porous films have ... -
Identification of Molecular Fluorophore as a Component of Carbon Dots able to Induce Gelation in a Fluorescent Multivalent-Metal-Ion-Free Alginate Hydrogel
( Nature Publishing Group , 2019 , Article)We introduce a simple approach to fabricate fluorescent multivalent metal ion-free alginate hydrogels, which can be produced using carbon dots accessible from natural sources (citric acid and L-cysteine). Molecular fluorophore ... -
Nickel oxide carbon nanofiber composite for electrochemical oxidation of methanol
( Electrochemical Society Inc. , 2014 , Conference Paper)Electrospun fibers of a mixture of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyaniline (PANI) and graphene were stabilized for 2 h at 200 °C and then carbonized at 800 °C for 5 h. Composites were prepared by depositing Ni(OH)2 on the ... -
Outwelling from arid mangrove systems is sustained by inwelling of seagrass productivity
( Inter-Research , 2014 , Article)Mangrove forest productivity is normally sustained by nutrients from terrestrial runoff, with freshwater inputs driving the resulting outwelling of production, but arid mangroves lack this input. The movement of material ... -
Pd/Ni-metal-organic framework-derived porous carbon nanosheets for efficient CO oxidation over a wide pH range
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2022 , Article)Metal nanocrystal ornamented metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are of particular interest in multidisciplinary applications; however, their electrocatalytic CO oxidation performance over wide pH ranges is not yet reported. ... -
Pilot-scale spiral wound membrane assessment for THM precursor rejection from upland waters
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2016 , Article)The outcomes of a pilot-scale study of the rejection of trihalomethanes (THMs) precursors by commercial ultrafiltration/nanofiltration (UF/NF) spiral-wound membrane elements are presented based on a single surface water ... -
Potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae for carbon dioxide bio-fixation and advanced wastewater treatment
( AIChE , 2017 , Conference Paper)The potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae (MIMA) as a CO2 capturing technology and treatment process for wastewaters was evaluated at two temperatures ( 25 and 30 C) and different CO2 dosage ( 0%, 5% and 15%). During ... -
