Both p-type and n-type bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3)-based thermoelectric materials demonstrate high thermoelectric efficiency in the low-temperature thermoelectric modules, but their constrained thermal and mechanical stability ...

The low-density polyethylene/aluminum (LDPE/Al) joint in Tetra Pak provides stability and strength to food packaging, ensures protection against outside moisture, and maintains the nutritional values and flavors of food ...

Phase change materials are promising alternatives for solar energy harvesting by photothermal conversion and thermal energy storage. In this work, a shape-stabilized phase change material (PCM) was prepared by hot-melt ...

Oil and gas industry operations produce tremendous amounts of wastewater (produced water; PW). Tertiary treatment of the PW in the final treatment stage is challenging due to the presence of colloids with sizes < 500 nm ...

In this study, novel activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by biochar derived from rice husk (generally considered useless agricultural wastes in Vietnam) toward organic pollutants from wastewater was investigated. The ...

This study investigated the adsorbent feasibility of Fe-nano zeolite (Fe-NZ) for the treatment of phenolic compounds in wastewaters. The maximum adsorption capacities of phenol (Ph), 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) and 2-nitrophenol ...

In the study, we successfully conducted vanadium doping to improve photocatalytic performance of the CuWO4 for water splitting to produce hydrogen. The doping mechanism, optimal doping ratio and material stability were ...

We report the realization of room-temperature, stimulated-emission in Er-doped-GaN multiple-quantum-wells at the 1.5-µm. Structures were grown by MOCVD and lasing was confirmed by threshold-behaviors of emission-intensity ...

To control the growth of layered two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials or complex structures such as heterostructures, it is important to understand the growth mechanism. In this study, we ...

We investigated the fabrication of Co-doped BiVO4 (Bi1-xCoxVO4+δ, 0.05 < x < 0.5) by the substitution of Co ions for Bi sites in BiVO4. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results ...
