Both microbial desalination cells (MDCs) and forwards osmosis (FO) are emerging technologies for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. However, incomplete treatment/desalination in both technologies creates challenges ...

Development of secondary batteries based on abundant and inexpensive elements are vital. Amongvarious alternative choices, sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are promising because of plentiful resourcesand low costs of sodium ...

Ni-B coatings have high hardness and high wear resistance which make them suitable for automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, textile and electronics industries. Further improvement in properties (especially the corrosion ...

The duplex Nickel-Boron-Titania/Nickel (Ni-B-TiO2/Ni) coatings were deposited on mild steel by using two baths with Ni as the inner layer. TiO2 nanoparticles were incorporated into the Ni-B coatings as the outer layer by ...

Duplex Ni–P–ZrO2/Ni–P coating was electroless deposited onto stainless steel substrates. High phosphorus Ni–P coating was plated as the inner layer to improve the corrosion resistance and low phosphorus sol-enhanced Ni–P–ZrO2 ...

This research work focuses on the synthesis and performance evaluation of NaFexCr1-X(SO4)2 (X = 0, 0.8 and 1.0) cathode materials in sodium ion batteries (SIBs). The novel materials having a primary particle size of around ...

Abstract Ni-Co-TiO2 nano-composite coatings were electroplated on mild steel by adding transparent TiO2 sol (0-50 mL/L) into the Ni-Co plating solution. The microstructure, mechanical property and corrosion resistance of ...

Ni-B coatings have decent properties like high hardness, wear resistance and decent anti-corrosion properties which make them suitable for automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, textile and electronics industries. Despite ...

Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have many advantages such as the low price and abundance of sodium raw materials that are suitable for large-scale energy storage applications. Herein, we report an Mn-based pyrophosphate, ...

Ni-P-TiO2 composite coatings were prepared on copper substrate by TiO2 sol-enhanced electroplating. A systematic study of Ni-P-X coatings with different sol concentrations (TiO2 concentration X from 0 to 50 mL/L) has been ...
