Improving the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells by TiO2-graphene nanocomposite photoanode
( Elsevier B.V. , 2015 , Article)Nanocomposite photoanodes were prepared by addition of graphene (GR) micro-platelets to TiO2 nanoparticulate paste. TiO2/graphene based DSSCs were fabricated using Z907 photosensitizer. Transmission electron microscope was ... -
Investigation on the effect of mud additives on the gelation performance of PAM/PEI system for lost circulation control
( Society of Petroleum Engineers , 2021 , Conference Paper)Lost circulation is one of the most common problems in the drilling of oil and gas wells where mud escapes through natural or induced fractures. Lost circulation can have severe consequences from increasing the operational ... -
Nanocomposite photoactuators based on an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer filled with carbon nanotubes
(2013 , Article)This paper reports strong, reversible actuation of nanocomposites on the base of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) filled with multiwalled (MWCNTs) and singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersion ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2 duplex composite coatings
( Springer Netherlands , 2018 , Article)Abstract: Binary (Ni–B, Ni–P) and duplex coatings (Ni–B/Ni–P, Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2) with an inner Ni–B layer were electrodeposited on mild steel substrates. A comparison of the structural, surface, mechanical, and electrochemical ... -
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 ...
