Tuning the activity of Cu-containing rare earth oxide catalysts for CO oxidation reaction: Cooling while heating paradigm in microwave-assisted synthesis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
(Ce-La-xCu)O2 catalysts with low (3 at.%) and high (10 at.%) Cu content were prepared by conventional microwave (MW) and enhanced microwave methods where air cooling (AC), while heating, was applied. The catalysts were ...
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 ...
Microplastics in coastal environments of the Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Eight sandy beaches along the coastline of Qatar and four sea surface stations on the eastern coast, adjacent to Doha Bay, were surveyed between December 2014 and March 2015. Microplastics, mainly low density polyethylene ...
Silicon nanofilms as anode materials for flexible lithium ion batteries
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Silicon (Si)-based anodes demonstrate great potential for the revolutionary enhancement in the energy storage of Li-ion cells. Unfortunately, these materials suffer from several shortcomings, such as high electrical ...
Analysis of factors affecting willingness to pay for high-occupancy-toll lanes: Results from stated-preference survey of travelers
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This study examines the feasibility of implementing high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes in a Middle Eastern country to obtain an improved understanding of such a policy and how it may affect the behavior of travelers in this ...
Role of organic cation in modern lead-based perovskites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Hybrid organic-inorganic metal perovskites (ABX3, A- organic cation, B-metal ion, X-halide ion) have shown significant potential as thin-film solar cells or Dye solar cells (DSC) materials. Using a time-dependent density ...
An Efficient Emulsion-Induced Interface Assembly Approach for Rational Synthesis of Mesoporous Carbon Spheres with Versatile Architectures
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2020 , Article)
Mesoporous carbon matrix with open pore structure, short diffusion length, and large pore size can favor the in-pore immobilization of active species and facilitate mass diffusion during catalytic reactions. However, a ...
