Plasmonic gold nanoparticles: Optical manipulation, imaging, drug delivery and therapy
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
Over the past two decades, the development of plasmonic nanoparticle (NPs), especially gold (Au) NPs, is being pursued more seriously in the medical fields such as imaging, drug delivery, and theranostic systems. However, ...
Heavy metal removal from aqueous solution by advanced carbon nanotubes: Critical review of adsorption applications
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article Review)
The scarcity of water, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world is exerting great pressure on resources and establishing more need to provide good quality water for human and other consumptions. Water ...
The impact of mechanical shear on membrane flux and energy demand
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article Review)
The use of forced mechanical shear for both disc membranes (rotating and vibrating disc filtration, RDF and VDF respectively) and hollow fibres (vibrating HF membranes, VHFM) is reviewed. These systems have been extensively ...
Oilfield scale formation and chemical removal: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article Review)
In oil and gas industry operations, scale deposition on the surface and subsurface production equipment can cause different problems such as formation damage, loss in production, pressure reductions, and premature failure ...

Porous spinel-type transition metal oxide (PS-TMO) nanocatalysts comprising two kinds of metal (denoted as AxB3−xO4, where A, B = Co, Ni, Zn, Mn, Fe, V, Sm, Li, and Zn) have emerged as promising electrocatalysts for oxygen ...
Engineering of Pt-based nanostructures for efficient dry (CO2) reforming: Strategy and mechanism for rich-hydrogen production
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
Dry (CO2) reforming of methane (DRM) is of great interest in scientific, environmental, and industrial applications. The high-energy stationary path DRM provides gigatons of CO2 utilization to produce syngas (CO and H2), ...
Recent Advances in Faradic Electrochemical Deionization: System ArchitecturesversusElectrode Materials
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article Review)
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an energy-efficient desalination technique. However, the maximum desalination capacity of conventional carbon-based CDI systems is approximately 20 mg g-1, which is too low for practical ...
