Impact of Prolonged Exposure to Sour Service on the Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Mechanism of NACE Carbon Steel Material Used in Wet Sour Gas Multiphase Pipeline
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The oil and gas industry is involved with severe corrosive/sour environmental conditions due to H2S, CO2, and moisture content. The National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) has developed standards to enable users ...
Superior Corrosion and UV-Resistant Highly Porous Poly(vinylidene fluoride- co-hexafluoropropylene)/alumina Superhydrophobic Coating
(
American Chemical Society
, 2022 , Article)
The current research is devoted to fabricating a superhydrophobic coating on alumina surfaces via a facile one-step electrospinning technique. The wettability properties of the as-prepared coating were investigated. The ...
A realistic perspective for CO2 triggered tuning of electrical conductivity
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2022 , Article)
To seek sustainable CO2 sequestration and conversion, an electrochemical cell has been investigated for carbon capture and utilization strategy (CCU). In this cell, atmospheric CO2 is captured under ambient conditions and ...
Porous high-entropy alloys as efficient electrocatalysts for water-splitting reactions
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2022 , Article)
Porous high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as promising electrocatalysts for water-splitting reactions, owing to their rich dissimilar active sites, elemental diversity, and multiple functionalities. The rational design ...

(
Nature Research
, 2022 , Article)
In this work, we report a wafer-scale and chemical-free fabrication of nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) heteroatomic Cu–Ni thin films using RF magnetron sputtering technique for non-enzymatic glucose sensing application. The ...
Evaluation of the Pitting Corrosion of Modified Martensitic Stainless Steel in CO2 Environment Using Point Defect Model
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Pitting corrosion is a significant concern for the broader application of stainless steel in modern industries in which metal and metal alloy are detached preferentially from susceptible parts on the surface, resulting in ...
High Dispersion of Platinum Nanoparticles over Functionalized Zirconia for Effective Transformation of Levulinic Acid to Alkyl Levulinate Biofuel Additives in the Vapor Phase
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
In recent years, functionalized metal oxides have been gaining popularity for biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals due to the global energy crisis. This study reports a novel catalyst based on noble metal immobilization ...

Titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) MXene possesses various unique physicochemical and catalytic properties. However, the electrochemical CO oxidation performance is not yet addressed experimentally. Herein, Ti3C2Tx (TX=OH, O, and ...
Low Platinum-Loaded Molybdenum Co-catalyst for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Alkaline and Acidic Media
(
American Chemical Society
, 2022 , Article)
Developing an efficient catalytic system for electrolysis with reduced platinum (Pt) loading while maintaining performance comparable to bulk platinum metal is important to decrease costs and improve scalability of the ...
Economic evaluation of hybrid electrical systems for rural electrification: A case study of a rural community in Nigeria
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2022 , Article)
Diesel generators have long been in use in rural communities in Nigeria despite the impact of emissions caused by these generators on the environment. Due to the high cost and fluctuation in the diesel price and the need ...
