Viscous origin of ionic liquids at the molecular level: A quantum chemical insight
( Elsevier , 2014 , Article)The viscosity of selected families of ionic liquids has been assessed at the molecular level as a function of the intermolecular interactions using Density Functional Theory together with Atoms-in-a-Molecule and Natural ... -
Viscous-Gravity spreading of oil on water
( John Wiley & Sons, Inc. , 2001 , Article)Spreading of oil on calm water is analyzed for the second stage of spread, which is controlled by a balance between gravity and viscous forces. The analysis, using the integral boundary-layer method, agreed well with a ... -
Visible light-driven metal-oxide photocatalytic CO2 conversion
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2015 , Article)In this work, nine photocatalysts were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, surface area measurements based ... -
Weakly Conjugated Hybrid Zinc Porphyrin Sensitizers for Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2016 , Article)Molecularly engineered weakly conjugated hybrid porphyrin systems are presented as efficient sensitizers for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. By incorporating the quinolizino acridine and triazatruxene based unit ... -
What Happens Without Nickel? Cyclization Reactions of Ethylene with Ethanedithial and Related Molecules
( John Wiley and Sons Inc. , 2018 , Article)We present a computational study of the mechanism of the formation of 6-member heterocycles through the binding of ethylene to oxaldehyde, ethanedithial, and 2-thioxoacetaldehyde. This process is related to the olefin ... -
When bioelectrochemical systems meet forward osmosis: Accomplishing wastewater treatment and reuse through synergy
( MDPI AG , 2015 , Other)Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) and forward osmosis (FO) are two emerging technologies with great potential for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. BES takes advantage of microbial interaction with a solid electron ... -
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based polymer nanocomposite membranes for gas separation
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2012 , Article)As synthesised ZIF-8 nanoparticles (size ∼ 60 nm and specific surface area ∼ 1300–1600 m2 g−1) were directly incorporated into a model polymer matrix (Matrimid® 5218) by solution mixing. This produces flexible transparent ... -
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 ...
