(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2022 , Article)
Ti3C2Tx MXene nanostructures have garnered attention for various catalytic applications due to their built-in electronic properties. Herein, we rationally design highly exfoliated two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx nanosheets (Tx = ...
Low Platinum-Loaded Molybdenum Co-catalyst for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Alkaline and Acidic Media
(
American Chemical Society
, 2022 , Article)
Developing an efficient catalytic system for electrolysis with reduced platinum (Pt) loading while maintaining performance comparable to bulk platinum metal is important to decrease costs and improve scalability of the ...
Economic evaluation of hybrid electrical systems for rural electrification: A case study of a rural community in Nigeria
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2022 , Article)
Diesel generators have long been in use in rural communities in Nigeria despite the impact of emissions caused by these generators on the environment. Due to the high cost and fluctuation in the diesel price and the need ...
Superior Corrosion and UV-Resistant Highly Porous Poly(vinylidene fluoride- co-hexafluoropropylene)/alumina Superhydrophobic Coating
(
American Chemical Society
, 2022 , Article)
The current research is devoted to fabricating a superhydrophobic coating on alumina surfaces via a facile one-step electrospinning technique. The wettability properties of the as-prepared coating were investigated. The ...

(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The oil and gas industry is involved with severe corrosive/sour environmental conditions due to H2S, CO2, and moisture content. The National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) has developed standards to enable users ...
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 ...
Porous high-entropy alloys as efficient electrocatalysts for water-splitting reactions
(
Elsevier Inc.
