Synthesis of Gemini cationic surfactants based on natural nicotinic acid and evaluation of their inhibition performance at C-steel/1 M HCl interface: Electrochemical and computational investigations
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Herein, we prepare effective Gemini cationic surfactants (CSII, CSIV) and characterize them using FT-IR and 1HNMR spectroscopy. The adsorptive properties of CSII and CSIV at HCl/air and C-steel/HCl interfaces were examined ...
A comparison between iron and mild steel electrodes for the treatment of highly loaded grey water using an electrocoagulation technique
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In the last years, the electrocoagulation (EC) process has been widely used as a potential technique for grey water treatment. However, only a few studies have focused on treating highly loaded GW (HLGW) by EC. In this ...
Self-Standing Pd-Based Nanostructures for Electrocatalytic CO Oxidation: Do Nanocatalyst Shape and Electrolyte pH Matter?
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2023 , Article)
Tailoring the shape of Pd nanocrystals is one of the main ways to enhance catalytic activity; however, the effect of shapes and electrolyte pH on carbon monoxide oxidation (COOxid) is not highlighted enough. This article ...
