Production of energy resource while minimizing the waste is one of the best ways for sustainable energy resource management practices. Application of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) may represent a completely new approach to wastewater treatment with production of sustainable clean energy. The increase in energy demand ca…
Necessity is the mother of research (Invention), and today’s most important demand of an automobile industry is to reduce energy consumption and pollution in an automobile. This could be done in one way by increasing the efficiency. For the properties like strength, toughness, stiffness to weight ratio, good formabili…
An experimental program was conducted in order to study the strength and behaviour of SIFCON with different types of fibres. The different fibres that were used in this experiment were steel fibre and polypropylene. The different fibre volume considered was 4, 5, and 6%. The tests that were conducted were flexural, co…
Hierarchical Ag/AgCl hetero-structures have been fabricated in high-yield by copying the natural architecture of a branch with green leaves, and exhibit higher photocatalytic activities than Ag/AgCl nanowires, AgCl nanoparticles, Ag nanowires, and N-doped TiO 2 for the degradation of organic contaminants under visible…
Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal microsheets of 8-hydroxyquinoline zinc (Znq2) were synthesized readily via a mixed solvent induced self-assembly method. The 2D optical waveguiding properties of the microsheets have been clearly revealed by both fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy. In addition, the reversibl…
Chitin extracted from silkworm chrysalides was used to prepare chitosan applied in this investigation. Adsorption studies were carried out in column and in aqueous suspension with two dyes, blue remazol (RN) and black remazol 5 (RB). The study showed that adsorption is better in the chitosan-packed column than in the…
A peony-like Ag/Ag0.68V2O5 hybrid assembled from nanosheets with the thickness of 40 nm was synthesized through a one-pot hydrothermal approach from vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), oxalic acid (H2C2O4), and silver nitrate (AgNO3) at 180 °C for 24 h. The hybrid exhibits high performance as both anode and cathode materials f…
Reproducible immobilization method even for living eukaryotes and prokaryotes on polyelectrolyte coated surfaces for high resolution AFM imaging in liquids.
Complex studies on the band structures of novel Ag 2 In 2 SiSe 6 and Ag 2 In 2 GeSe 6 crystals were performed.
Chemical vapor deposition of silicon carbide with a chloride-based chemistry can be done using several different silicon and carbon precursors. Here, we present a comparative study of SiCl 4 , SiHCl 3 , SiH 4 +HCl, C 3 H 8 , C 2 H 4 and CH 4 in an attempt to find the optimal precursor combination. We find that while t…
Thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) is a mechanism of deformation which is growing in importance due to the efficiency of modern cooling systems and the manner in which turbines and associated turbomachinery are now being operated. Unfortunately, at the present time, relatively little research has been carried out particul…
We have fabricated ternary blend solar cells by incorporating a wide-bandgap molecule, tris[4-(5-dicyanomethylidenemethyl-2-thienyl)phenyl]amine (TDCV-TPA), into a binary blend of a low-bandgap polymer, poly[2,3-bis-(3-octyloxyphenyl)quinoxaline-5,8-diyl- alt -thiophene-2,5-diyl] (PTQ1), and a fullerene derivative (PC…
Spinel oxides with composition LiMn2-xMxO4 (M, a transition metal) are intensively studied due to their remarkable electrochemical properties. This study deals with cathode materials based on the lithium iron manganese oxide LiFe0.5Mn1.5O4 synthesized by different methods (sol-gel, in solution and hydrothermal) in ord…
In this work, a low-cost and nitrogen-containing carbon with mesoporous pores and high surface area was synthesized by \ncarbonizing a natural biomass precursor, i.e. beef. It is found that the prepared material has excellent textural properties such as \nhigh specific surface areas and large pore diameters. TEM image…
Pheophorbide-a derivatives have been reported to be potential photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this study, photophysics of pheophorbide-a derivatives (PaDs) were investigated along with their photodynamic tumoricidal effectin vitro. PaDs were modified by changing the coil length and/or making the hy…
This paper demonstrates the complete retention (>98%) of anatase TiO 2 crystalline phase after high temperature (800 °C) thermal treatment of rice-like TiO 2 nanorods (length = 81–134 nm, diameter = 8–13 nm) relative to 100% conversion of the rutile phase after calcination of P25-TiO 2 under similar conditions.
The possibility of tailoring membrane surfaces with osteoconductive potential, in particular in biodegradable devices, to create modified biomaterials that stimulate osteoblast response should make them more suitable for clinical use, hopefully enhancing bone regeneration. Bioactive inorganic materials, such as silica…
Dually responsive diblock random copolymers poly(nPA0.8-co-DEAEMA0.2)-block-poly(nPA0.8-co-EA0.2) were made from N-n-propylacrylamide (nPA), 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DEAEMA) and N-ethylacrylamide (EA) via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Copolymers of different block l…
Metallic salts formed from fullerenes became popular because of their superconducting properties with a relatively high transition temperature, and were initially regarded as conventional metals and superconductors. Recently, owing to improved synthetic methods and a renewed interest in the study of their physical pro…
Herein we report the molecular structures and electronic properties of ionic, hydrophobic, half-sandwich complexes of the formula [η(5)-Cp*Rh(L)(MeOH)] (1) and [η(6)-CyRu(L)(H2O)] (2), where L is azo-dye compound of (p-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylazo)benzenesulfonic acid sodium salt). Both these complexes have been investiga…
