Thermoelectric materials are devices that have the ability to convert waste heat to electricity. The widespread use of thermoelectric materials is currently limited by the low value of their figure-of-merit (ZT). Bismuth ...

The state-of-the-art Bismuth Antimony Telluride (BiSbTe) alloys have a promising potential to advance thermoelectric applications in energy harvesting for efficient power generation and active refrigeration. In this ...

A new generation of advanced fibrous materials with high surface area, large number of pores, high flexibility and adjustable wettability were manufactured from different materials which are viable for many applications ...

In this work, CNTs/MnO2 hybrid supercapacitors were prepared using RF magnetron sputtering as deposition technique. The as-prepared composite materials were characterized by different morphology and spectroscopy techniques, ...

MXene membrane consists of free-standing layers of a 2D material, namely MXene, which is attracting growing interest due to its conductivity and well-defined interlayer distance and slit-like channels, making it ...

Spent pot lining (SPL) waste is produced in thousands of tons annually from the aluminium production factories including Qatar Aluminum Company, Qatalum. SPL is classified into first and second cut; the first cut is mainly ...

Obstacles in the membrane-based separation field are mainly related to membrane fouling. This study synthesized a pioneering covalently crosslinked cellulose acetate anti-fouling mixed matrix membrane containing between ...

Electrospinning has gained wide attention recently in biomedical applications. Electrospun biocompatible scaffolds are well-known for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, wound dressing and tissue engineering ...

Accelerated (artificial) weathering and thermal ageing tests were performed to investigate the effectiveness of different UV/HALS formulations in reducing the UV/heat degradation effect for two different low-density ...

Plant litter decomposition in soil is a dynamic process that is affected and regulated by several factors. Soil microbial activity, light intensity, litter composition and habitat all affect the rate of decomposition ...
