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 ...

NH3 is a highly harmful gas; when inhaled at levels that are too high for comfort, it is very dangerous to human health. One of the challenging tasks in research is developing ammonia sensors that operate at room temperature. ...

LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 with a high-voltage spinel structure is a potential cathode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Y2O3 coated quasi-spheres of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 covered in graphene (LNMO-YO-G) have been ...

The depreciation of assets and safety threats because of corrosion has forced to develop eco-friendly and smarter corrosion protection strategies. In this study, natural Gum Arabic (GA) was used as a corrosion inhibitor ...

The search for highly effective corrosion protection solutions to avoid degradation of the metallic parts is enabling the development of polymeric organic coatings. Of particular relevance, polymeric nanocomposite coatings, ...

pH-sensitive hydroxyapatite particles were loaded with cerium ions (Ce-HAP) and incorporated into polyolefin coatings applied on carbon steel. The Ce-modified hydroxyapatite particles were characterized by scanning electron ...

In the present study, the reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide (CO2) with two blends of N-methyldiethanolamine; potassium salts of taurine and potassium salts of glycine were investigated. The experiments were performed ...

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 ...
