Fabrication of polyaniline-graphene/polystyrene nanocomposites for flexible gas sensors
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
This research work presents the fabrication of polyaniline (PANI) and graphene-polyaniline (graphene-PANI) nanocomposite-coated polystyrene (PS) nanofibre mats, as well as their application in flexible and highly sensitive ...
Identification of Molecular Fluorophore as a Component of Carbon Dots able to Induce Gelation in a Fluorescent Multivalent-Metal-Ion-Free Alginate Hydrogel
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2019 , Article)
We introduce a simple approach to fabricate fluorescent multivalent metal ion-free alginate hydrogels, which can be produced using carbon dots accessible from natural sources (citric acid and L-cysteine). Molecular fluorophore ...
Microstructure and compressive behavior of Al-Y2O3 nanocomposites prepared by microwave-assisted mechanical alloying
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, Al–Y2O3 nanocomposites were synthesized via mechanical alloying and microwave-assisted sintering. The effect of different levels of yttrium oxide on the microstructural and mechanical properties of the Al–Y2O3 ...

Simulation studies of non-toxic tin-based perovskites: Critical insights into solar performance kinetics through comparison with standard lead-based devices
(
Academic Press
, 2019 , Article)
We have simulated the operation and functionality of a working Sn-based perovskite solar cell device using GPVDM and compared it against a Pb-based device. The results are extremely promising in that they showcase comparable ...
Removal of metronidazole from wastewater by Fe/charcoal micro electrolysis fluidized bed reactor
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The aim of the research was to investigate the removal of metronidazole from aqueous solutions by Fe/charcoal micro-electrolysis fluidized bed reactor. The effective variables influencing the metronidazole removal including ...
Computational characterization of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube functionalized by Fe adatom and Fe substituent for oxygen reduction reaction
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein we investigated how Fe-coordinated, N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNT) enhance oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity by comparatively studying CNT with different pyridinic and graphitic nitrogen ratios, “Fe-CNT-PA” ...
Polyzwitterionic Hydrogels in Engines Based on the Antipolyelectrolyte Effect and Driven by the Salinity Gradient
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, we propose and investigate an original approach to energy conversion based on polyzwitterionic hydrogels, which exhibit an antipolyelectrolyte effect that enables them to swell in salt water and shrink in ...
Microstructural, mechanical and corrosion behaviour of Al–Si alloy reinforced with SiC metal matrix composite
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of Si and SiC addition on the microstructure, mechanical, and corrosion properties of Al matrix-based composites. Al–Si (2 wt% fixed) alloy reinforced SiC composites ...
Evaluation of forward osmosis as a pretreatment process for multi stage flash seawater desalination
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The present study evaluates the feasibility of applying forward osmosis (FO) process for the pretreatment of feed solution to a Multi Stage Flash (MSF) desalination plant. For the first time, real brine reject and real ...
