Generation of photo charge in poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified papers conditioned at different humidities
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The article describes the influence of humidity on the surface photodielectric properties of papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2 nanoparticles-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres. The anthocyanins were extracted ...
Enhanced Z-scheme visible light photocatalytic hydrogen production over ?-Bi 2 O 3 /CZS heterostructure
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Depletion of fossil fuels and associated environmental issues has drawn attention of researchers to renewable energy resources and photocatalytic hydrogen production is considered to be safe and applicable method to meet ...
Direct Z-Scheme Cs2O-Bi2O3-ZnO Heterostructures as Efficient Sunlight-Driven Photocatalysts
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Limited light absorption, inefficient electron-hole separation, and unsuitable positions of conduction band bottom and/or valence band top are three major critical issues associated with high-efficiency photocatalytic water ...
Flexible ultra-sensitive and resistive NO2 gas sensor based on nanostructured Zn(X)Fe(1- x)2O4
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
Low concentration gas detection, rapid response time and low working temperature are anticipated for a varied range of toxic gas detection applications. Conversely, the existing gas sensors suffer mostly from a high working ...
Precious metal free Ni/Cu/Mo trimetallic nanocomposite supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes as highly efficient and durable anode-catalyst for alkaline direct methanol fuel cells
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) proved to be an auspicious choice in the applications of portable power electronics and energy transportation, apart from their high cost catalysts materials. To this end, we have developed ...
Ultra-low Pt-decorated NiCu bimetallic alloys nanoparticles supported on reduced graphene oxide for electro-oxidation of methanol
(
Cambridge University Press
, 2018 , Article)
The selectivity of catalyst is an essential factor in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) and plays an important role to improve their performance. To this end, platinum (Pt)-based low-cost trimetallic catalysts have been ...
Nanoflower-like Yttrium-doped ZnO Photocatalyst for the Degradation of Methylene Blue Dye
(
Blackwell Publishing Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Pure ZnO and Yttrium-doped (Y-doped) ZnO at various mol% with flower-like nanostructures are synthesized by a microwave-assisted sol�gel method, followed by investigating the morphologies, crystal structures, optical ...
Ordered porous metal oxide semiconductors for gas sensing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Among various gas sensing materials, metal oxide semiconductors have shown great potential as resistive type sensors. The ordered porous structural metal oxide semiconductors with well-defined meso- or macro-pores chemically ...
Effect of expandable graphite on thermal and flammability properties of poly(lactic acid)-starch/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) blend systems
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
The effect of expandable graphite (EG) on the flammability and thermal stability of a poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-starch/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) blend was investigated. The samples were prepared by melt-mixing and characterized ...
Dilution of seawater using dewatered construction water in a hybrid forward osmosis system
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, dewatered construction water was used for the first time as the feed solution in a combined pretreatment-forward osmosis process to dilute seawater (i.e. draw solution) for further desalination. It was found ...
