Porous transition metal-based nanostructures as efficient cathodes for aluminium-air batteries
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Aluminum-air batteries (AABs) are green and efficient energy systems due to their earth-abundant, safety, low price, excellent theoretical capacity (2.98 Ah/g) and energy density (8.1 Wh/g), which are significant merits ...
Highly conductive phase change composites based on paraffin-infiltrated graphite panels for photo/electrothermal conversion and storage
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The extensive utilization of phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy harvesting, storage, and thermal management is often constrained by their inadequate thermal and electrical conductivity, form instability, and ...
A facile energy-efficient approach to prepare super oil-sorbent thin films
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
Oil spills on water surface and shoreline have caused significant water pollution, and one of the ways to deal with them is to use oil sorbents. An effective sorbent provides high oil uptake and retention values, high ...

(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
In the present study, polyamide (PA) was successfully reinforced with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) prepared from date palm leaves using two different techniques, electrospinning and the solution casting method, and a ...
Up-cycling plastic waste into swellable super-sorbents
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Environmental pollution caused by plastic waste and oil spills has emerged as a major concern in recent years. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in exploring innovative solutions to address these challenges. ...
A practical perspective for chromatic orthogonality for implementing in photolithography
(
Nature Research
, 2023 , Article)
Theoretically, it is more challenging to anticipate the conversion and selectivity of a photochemical experiment compared to thermally generated reactivity. This is due to the interaction of light with a photoreactive ...
