Efficient visible light photodegradation of methylene blue using TiO 2 –graphene based composites has been reported.
The CuO–ZnO/rGO ternary composite is successfully prepared, in which valid p–n junctions exist between CuO and ZnO nanoparticles with the aid of rGO sheets. The presence of p–n junctions enables such a composite to possess outstanding sensing properties to acetone.
The silicon nanostructure is a promising candidate for an anode of Li-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity. In this work, we have demonstrated the scalable synthesis of Si nanosheets from natural sand by magnesiothermic reduction, and suggested a new formation mechanism for Si nanosheets. In the suggeste…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were covalently functionalized via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction under microwave conditions. The functionalized CNTs were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N2 adsorption isotherms and Raman spectroscopy. The surface concentration of…
A new strategy via coupling a polyol route with an oxidation process has been developed to successfully synthesize p-n junction CuO/BiVO4 heterogeneous nanostructures. The experimental results reveal that the as-prepared p-n junction CuO/BiVO4 heterogeneous nanostructures exhibit much higher visible-light-driven photo…
This paper presents a hybrid (Monte Carlo/deterministic) method for increasing the efficiency of Monte Carlo calculations of distributions, such as flux or dose rate distributions (e.g., mesh tallies), as well as responses at multiple localized detectors and spectra. This method, referred to as Forward-Weighted CADIS…
This work focuses on development of Mn 3 O 4 hollow spheres with high cycling capacity and high rate capability in lithium ion batteries.
We report the fabrication, characterisation (SEM, Raman spectroscopy, XPS and ATR) and electrochemical implementation of novel screen-printed graphene electrodes. Electrochemical characterisation of the fabricated graphene electrodes is undertaken using an array of electroactive redox probes and biologically relevant…
The Mn-based oxides including MnO, Mn 3 O 4 , Mn 2 O 3 , MnO 2 , CoMn 2 O 4 , ZnMn 2 O 4 and their carbonaceous composite/oxide supports with different morphologies and compositions as anode materials are reviewed.
Well controlled nanosheets-based hierarchical microspheres (NSHMS) of pure covellite phase CuS were synthesized using a facile PVP assisted solvothermal process. The reaction conditions were optimized using various amounts of PVP to develop unique hierarchical structured hollow microspheres. CuS hollow structures have…
Photo-responsive polymeric micelles have received increasing attention in both academic and industrial fields due to their efficient photo-sensitive nature and unique nanostructure. In view of the photo-reaction mechanism, photo-responsive polymeric micelles can be divided into five major types: (1) photoisomerization…
Syngas production from dry carbon dioxide reforming of methane was studied on a Ni/SiO2 doped with La2O3 catalyst prepared via an in situ self-assembled core–shell precursor route. Highly dispersed nickel of particle size <3.0 nm on the Ni–La2O3/SiO2 catalyst was successfully achieved. The addition of La2O3 enhanced t…
A novel ionic liquid functionalized magnetic nanoparticle was prepared by anchoring an imidazolium ionic liquid bearing triethylene glycol moieties on the surface of silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles. The material proved to be an effective host for the immobilization of a Pd catalyst through a subsequent simple i…
Near-neutral electrolytes based on zinc chloride and ammonium chloride are examined for rechargeable zinc-air battery application. The effects of pH value, salt concentration, and polyethylene glycol and thiourea additives are investigated and a chloride electrolyte is developed. The reversible zinc deposition and zin…
An alternative route to prepare geopolymeric mortars yields a strong reduction of CO 2 emissions. Replacement of commercial waterglass by rice hull ash-derived waterglass does not significantly decrease the mechanical strength of geopolymeric mortars.
The recent extension of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) concept from optical to microwave frequencies has led some researchers to explore how well established antenna techniques can be used to radiate a non-zero OAM electromagnetic field. In this frame, the aim of the present paper is to propose a new approach to g…
In covering wounds, efforts should include utilization of the safest and least invasive methods with goals of achieving optimal functional and cosmetic outcome. The recent development of advanced wound healing technology has triggered the use of cells to improve wound healing conditions. The purpose of this review is…
MoS2 nanosheet@TiO2 nanotube hybrid nanostructures were successfully prepared by a facile two-step method: prefabrication of porous TiO2 nanotubes based on a sol-gel method template against polymeric nanotubes, and then assembly of MoS2 nanoclusters that consist of ultrathin nanosheets through a solvothermal process.…
Three novel carbazole-based molecules have been synthesized and successfully applied as hole-transporting materials (HTMs) of CH3NH3PbI3-based perovskite solar cells. In particular, the perovskite cell with SGT-405, having a three-arm-type structure, exhibited a remarkable photovoltaic conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1…
Polycrystalline and dispersed hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles were successfully prepared via a simple precipitation method with the aid of a new capping agent based on Schiff base compounds.
