Solar co-production of samarium and syngas via methanothermal reduction of samarium sesquioxide
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This paper reports the thermodynamic analysis of the solar methanothermal reduction of Sm2O3 for the co-production of Sm and syngas in (a) Sm-Syngas open cycle, and (b) Sm-Syngas closed cycle. As per the chemical thermodynamic ...
Designing ionic liquid solvents for carbon capture using property-based visual approach
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) have been introduced as potential carbon dioxide (CO2)-capturing solvents, as a substitute to conventional amine-based solvents. Conventional amine-based solvents that are used for CO2 capture ...
Sol-gel derived CeO2-Fe2O3 nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization and solar thermochemical application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Synthesis of CeO2-Fe2O3 nanoparticles via propylene oxide (PO) aided sol-gel method for the production of solar fuels via thermochemical H2O/CO2 splitting cycles is reported in this paper. For the synthesis of CeO2-Fe2O3, ...
Stability analysis of unstructured finite volume methods for linear shallow water flows using pseudospectra and singular value decomposition
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The discretization of the shallow water system on unstructured grids can lead to spurious modes which usually can affect accuracy and/or cause stability problems. This paper introduces a new approach for stability analysis ...
A mixed iron–manganese based pyrophosphate cathode, Na2Fe0.5Mn0.5P2O7, for rechargeable sodium ion batteries
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
The development of secondary batteries based on abundant and cheap elements is vital. Among various alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising due to the abundant resources ...
A systematic visual methodology to design ionic liquids and ionic liquid mixtures: Green solvent alternative for carbon capture
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained great interest recently to substitute volatile organic compounds (VOCs), since their properties can be tuned to match certain targets and applications. Further to this, another possibility ...
Quasi-Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Based on Ru(II) Polypyridine Sensitizers
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
The Ru(II) polypyridine complexes SA22 and SA25 consisting of anchoring and light harvesting moieties and possessing broad light absorption spectra were used to fabricate and optimize dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). ...
Treatment and desalination of domestic wastewater for water reuse in a four-chamber microbial desalination cell
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) have been studied for contaminant removal from wastewater and salinity reduction in saline water. However, in an MDC wastewater treatment and desalination occurs in different streams, ...
Evolution of Seawater Desalination and Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Treatment in a Microbial Desalination Cell
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Petroleum refining, not only consumes large quantities of water but also generates large quantities of wastewater. Large quantities of petroleum refinery wastewater are generated worldwide, approximately 3.5-5 m3 of ...
Deep eutectic solvents on the surface of face centered cubic metals
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
The properties of the deep eutectic solvent based on choline chloride and levulinic acid, for 1:2 molar ratio, on the (100) surfaces of metals with face centered cubic crystal structures (Ag, Al, and Pt) are studied using ...
