Bentonite-decorated calix [4] arene: A new, promising hybrid material for heavy-metal removal
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)There is global concern about the contamination of ground, river, and tap waters as well as soil contamination with heavy metal ions; these chemical species are known to not degrade and to cause severe health problems if ... -
Calix[4]arene-clicked clay through thiol-yne addition for the molecular recognition and removal of Cd(II) from wastewater
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)A novel type of hybrid Clay/Calix[4]arene (denoted as B-S-Calix), was prepared through fast photo-induced radical-mediated thiol–yne addition between a thiolated clay and an alkynylated calix[4]arene. The photo-induced ... -
Chapter 1 - Overview: Clay Preparation, Properties, Modification
( Matthew Deans , 2017 , Book chapter)This chapter reviews clay physicochemical properties and general methods of modification with a view to making a clay–polymer nanocomposite. The first part includes an overview of clays, their different structures, and ... -
Clay/Conductive Polymer Nanocomposites
( Elsevier Inc. , 2017 , Book chapter)This chapter describes the main strategies for designing clay nanocomposites of the most investigated inherently conductive polymers, namely, polypyrrole, polyaniline, and polythiophenes including poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) ... -
Emerging clay-aryl-gold nanohybrids for efficient electrocatalytic proton reduction
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)There is an ever growing demand for renewable sources of energy to replace conventional fossil fuels. One of the alternatives is usage of hydrogen production by electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Toward ... -
Highly sensitive humidity sensor based on cadmium selenide quantum dots-polymer composites: synthesis, characterization, and effect of UV/ozone treatment
( Springer , 2023 , Article)This work describes the rational design of thin film-based cadmium selenide quantum dots (CdSe) mixed with conductive polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), inducing PVDF-CdSe composite for potential resistive humidity-sensing ... -
Rational synthesis, characterization, and application of environmentally friendly (polymer–carbon dot) hybrid composite film for fast and efficient UV-assisted Cd2+ removal from water
( Springer , 2020 , Article)Background: Carbon dots (CDs) are of particular interest in numerous applications. However, their efficiency for heavy metal removal from wastewater was not yet reported. Herein, we rationally synthesized CDs from petroleum ... -
Rational Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Environmentally?Friendly (Polymer?Carbon Dot) Hybrid Composite Film for Fast and Efficient UV Assisted Cd2+ Removal from Water
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Carbon-dots (CDs) are of particular interest in numerous applications. However, their efficiency for heavy metal removal from wastewater was not yet reported. Herein, we rationally synthesized CDs from petroleum-coke-waste ...
