Alginate-halloysite nanocomposite aerogel: Preparation, structure, and oil/water separation applications
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Environmental remediation using green approaches for addressing various pollution-related issues, especially water pollution, is in high demand. Here, we designed an environmentally friendly, low-cost, and stable sodium ...
Electrochemical and thermodynamic study on the corrosion performance of API X120 steel in 3.5% NaCl solution
(
Nature Research
, 2020 , Article)
The present work studied the effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of API X120 steel in a saline solution saturated with CO2 in absence and presence of polyethyleneimine (PEI) as an environmentally safe green ...
Graphene quantum dot based materials for sensing, bio-imaging and energy storage applications: a review
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article Review)
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are an attractive nanomaterial consisting of a monolayer or a few layers of graphene having excellent and unique properties. GQDs are endowed with the properties of both carbon dots (CDs) and ...
Materials and technologies for the tertiary treatment of produced water contaminated by oil impurities through nonfibrous deep-bed media: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
This review covers various aspects of the treatment of emulsified oil/water mixtures and is particularly focused on tertiary treatment, which means the reduction of the oil content from 70-100 ppm to below 10 ppm, depending ...
Methanol Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production Using Polymer Electrolyte Membrane: A Mini-Review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Hydrogen (H2) has attained significant benefits as an energy carrier due to its gross calorific value (GCV) and inherently clean operation. Thus, hydrogen as a fuel can lead to global sustainability. Conventional H2 ...
White graphene-cobalt oxide hybrid filler reinforced polystyrene nanofibers for selective oil absorption
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In this work, stable hydrophobic nanocomposites are made from electrospun fibers of polystyrene (PS) containing a hybrid filler combination of (i) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and (ii) cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanomaterials. ...
Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Sulfuric Acid by a Newly Synthesized Schiff Base: An Electrochemical, DFT, and Monte Carlo Simulation Study
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2020 , Article)
Effects of using a synthesized aminothiazole (BZ) Schiff base at different concentrations with and without the addition of 1 mM of KI on the corrosion mitigation of mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M sulphuric acid (H2SO4) solutions ...
Investigation of interaction between boronic acids and sugar: effect of structural change of sugars on binding affinity using steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Binding interactions of boronic acid derivatives viz. 2-Methylphenylboronic acid (B1) and 3-Methoxyphenylboronic acid (B2) with mono saccharides (arabinose, fructose and galactose) and disaccharides (sucrose, lactose and ...
Mussel-mimicking sulfobetaine-based copolymer with metal tunable gelation, self-healing and antibacterial capability
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
In the present study, the sulfobetaine-based copolymer bearing a dopamine functionality showed gel formation adjusted by the application of metal salts for gelation and various values of pH. Normally, the liquid-like ...
Vibration sensing systems based on poly(Vinylidene fluoride) and microwave-assisted synthesized zno star-like particles with controllable structural and physical properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
This study deals with the effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) star-like filler addition to the poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix, and its effect on the structural and physical properties and consequences to the vibration ...
