Rational synthesis of ternary PtIrNi nanocrystals with enhanced poisoning tolerance for electrochemical ethanol oxidation
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The development of highly efficient and durable anode materials for ethanol electro-oxidation remains a challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of Pt1−x−yIrxNiy nanocrystals via one-step procedure by ultrasonic-assisted ...
Magnetic mesoporous nanospheres anchored with LyP-1 as an efficient pancreatic cancer probe
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Immobilization of a ligand that selectively interacts with cancer cells to nanomaterials can enhance their diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency. In this study, we firstly demonstrate the high expression of receptor for ...
Surfactant-templating strategy for ultrathin mesoporous TiO2 coating on flexible graphitized carbon supports for high-performance lithium-ion battery
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The electrochemical performance of nanocomposites could greatly be improved by rationally designing flexible core-shell heterostructures. Typically, the uniform coating of a thin mesoporous crystalline transition metal ...
Tailoring the efficiency of an active catalyst for CO abatement through oxidation reaction: The case study of samarium-doped ceria
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, for the first time we tailored organic chemistry traditional synthesis tools towards preparation of CexSm1-xO2 (x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1) fluorite-type mixed oxides which are used for CO abatement. In ...
Vertical orientation of solvent cast nanofilled PS-b-PEO block copolymer thin films at high nanoparticle loading
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
We demonstrate selective dispersion of photosensitive electron acceptor phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) in cylinder forming polystyrene-b-poly (ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO) block copolymer (BCP). Neat PS-b-PEO ...
Precise fabrication of porous one-dimensional gC3N4 nanotubes doped with Pd and Cu atoms for efficient CO oxidation and CO2 reduction
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Rational design of graphitic carbon nitride nanostructures (gC3N4) is vital for various catalytic applications. Herein, we synthesized porous gC3N4 nanotubes (gC3N4NTs) doped with Pd and Cu (Pd/Cu/gC3N4NTs) via the consecutive ...
Embodied water for urban economy: A three-scale input-output analysis for Beijing 2010
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The scheme of a three-scale input-output analysis is presented in this study to investigate the water use profile of the urban economy in Beijing. Defined as total water including direct and indirect water, embodied water ...
Effect of corona treatment on adhesion enhancement of LLDPE
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Polymers/metal laminates are often used to improve physical and mechanical properties, especially those required in building applications. A flat aluminum composite panel (ACP) consisted mainly of two thin metal sheets ...
Nostalgic diaspora or diasporic nostalgia? Discursive and identity constructions of Greeks in Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
This paper deals with the discursive constructions of transformative, agentive and creative ethnolinguistic self-conceptualizations and positionings of some select members of the approximately 3000-member Greek diasporic ...
Influence of composite particle formation on the performance and economics of grit removal
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Grit is routinely removed at the headworks of municipal wastewater treatment works to limit its onerous impact on downstream processes. Grit separation technologies are normally based on sedimentation of a homogeneous ...
