Mechanism of GaAs surface sulfidation
( Electrochemical Science Group , 2014 , Article)The mechanism of GaAs sulfidation under illumination and potentiodynamic polarization was investigated in acidified thiourea (TU) electrolytes. Sulfidation generated smooth surfaces, as revealed by scanning electron ... -
Optimization of selection of chain amine scrubbers for CO2 capture
( Springer Verlag , 2014 , Article)In order to optimize the selection of a suitable amine molecule for CO2 scrubbers, a series of ab initio calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory. Diethylenetriamine was used as a simple chain ... -
Optimized long-range corrected density functionals for electronic and optical properties of bare and ligated CdSe quantum dots
( American Chemical Society , 2017 , Article)The reliable prediction of optical and fundamental gaps of finite size systems using density functional theory requires to account for the potential self-interaction error, which is notorious for degrading the description ... -
Osmotic pressure estimation using the Pitzer equation for forward osmosis modelling
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2020 , Article)Forward osmosis (FO) has received widespread recognition in the past decade due to its potential low energy production of water. This study presents a new model analysis for predicting the water flux in FO systems when ... -
PdZn nanoparticle electrocatalysts synthesized by solution combustion for methanol oxidation reaction in an alkaline medium
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2017 , Article)Herein, we report the synthesis of PdZn nanoparticle (NP) electrocatalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The PdZn NPs were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis in the presence of Pd(NO3)2·xH2O, ... -
Rheological characterization of NA2CO3 activated calcium bentonite for oil and gas drilling applications
( AIChE , 2015 , Conference Paper)Calcium bentonite was activated with soda ash (Na2CO3) at various ratios and due to the ion exchange; the original Ca-bentonite was converted to Na-bentonite. It was found that the Na2CO3 activation improves the swelling ... -
Synthesis and characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol): Cloisite 20A nanocomposites
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2017 , Article)Polymeric nanocomposite materials are very important materials because of their promised applications. However, many of their fundamental physical, mechanical, and chemical behaviors have not been quantified. Depending on ... -
Synthesis, characterization and performance of Pd-based core-shell methane oxidation nano-catalysts
( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)In this paper, a comparative investigation of the catalytic performances of Pd@TiO2 and Pd@CeO2, core-shells nanocatalysts supported over functionalized alumina, for application to methane oxidation is presented. The results ... -
Theoretical studies of methane adsorption on Silica-Kaolinite interface for shale reservoir application
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)Shale gas is mostly made up of methane and is currently being exploited in fulfilling the world's energy demands. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) techniques are employed for understanding methane ... -
Zn-enriched PtZn nanoparticle electrocatalysts synthesized by solution combustion for ethanol oxidation reaction in an alkaline medium
( Cambridge University Press , 2018 , Article)This work focuses on the syntheses of Zn-enriched PtZn nanoparticle electrocatalysts by solution combustion for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). Analytical techniques of x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy ...
