CHAPTER 3: Template-based Fabrication of Porous Carbon Nitride Nanostructures for Electrochemical Energy Conversion
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2021 , Book chapter)With the ever-increasing energy demand and severe energy crisis, the search for highly efficient energy storage and conversion devices becomes more and more crucial. Among the options available, fuel cells, water electrolysis, ... -
Effects of electron acceptors on removal of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli, resistance genes and class 1 integrons under anaerobic conditions
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)Anaerobic biotechnologies can effectively remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but there is a need to better understand the mechanisms. Here we employ bioelectrochemical systems ... -
Engineering of nickel based catalyst for direct urea fuel cell-energy from municipal liquid waste (Mlw)
( Nova Science Publishers, Inc. , 2019 , Book chapter)Alternatives to conventional fuels are required to meet the global energy demand, urea is a relatively non-toxic crystalline substance that is perhaps best known for its presence in municipal liquid waste (MLW) and ... -
Facile one-step synthesis of supportless porous AuPtPd nanocrystals as high performance electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation reaction
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Direct glucose fuel cells (DGFCs) received great interest due to non-toxicity, low cost, and renewability. Herein, we demonstrated the synthesis of novel porous AuPtPd nanocrystals (NCs) via plausible one-pot synthesis ... -
Modeling and Control of Single-Stage Quadratic-Boost Split Source Inverters
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2022 , Article)This paper aims to develop the recently introduced Spilt-Source Inverter (SSI) topology to improve its boosting characteristics. New SSI topologies with high voltage gain are introduced in this paper. The proposed converters ... -
New model for estimating geometric tortuosity of variably saturated porous media using 3D synchrotron microcomputed tomography imaging
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)Tortuosity has a significantimpact on flow and transport characteristics of porous media and plays a major role in many applications such as enhanced oil recovery, contaminant transport in aquifers, and fuel cells. Most ... -
Porous ternary Pt-based branched nanostructures for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction
( Elsevier Inc. , 2022 , Article)The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is pivotal for optimizing the energy output of fuel cells and metal-air batteries; however, their commercialization is precluded by the intolerable cost, instability, earth-scarcity of ... -
Rational design of porous binary Pt-based nanodendrites as efficient catalysts for direct glucose fuel cells over a wide pH range
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2017 , Article)The development of porous bi-metallic Pt-based nanocrystals (NCs) as efficient catalysts for the glucose oxidation reaction (GOR) over a wide pH range is still a grand challenge. Triggered by this challenge, we report the ... -
Single-Stage Three-Phase Differential-Mode Buck-Boost Inverters with Continuous Input Current for PV Applications
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Article)Differential-mode buck-boost inverters have merits such as reduced switch number, ability to provide voltages higher or lower than the input voltage magnitude, improved efficiency, reduced cost and size, and increased power ... -
ZnO@C (core@shell) microspheres derived from spent coffee grounds as applicable non-precious electrode material for DMFCs
( Nature Publishing Group , 2017 , Article)Although numerous reports have introduced non precious electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation, most of those studies did not consider the corresponding high onset potential which restricts utilization in real fuel cells. ...
