Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been recognized as one of the primary trace segments of atmospheric air pollutants. The change in the level of VOCs in the surrounding environment can lead to chronic health issues, ...

The assessment of blood glucose levels is necessary for the diagnosis and management of diabetes. The accurate quantification of serum or plasma glucose relies on enzymatic and nonenzymatic methods utilizing electrochemical ...

Biocompatible Graphene Oxide with Anchored Zwitterionic Moiety - Synthesis, Characterization and Application Markéta Ilčíková1, Zuzana Kroneková2, Anna Záhoranová2 and Peter Kasák1* 1 Center for Advanced Materials, Qatar ...

Smart gel materials are capable of controlling and switching swelling, water state, and wettability properties triggered by external stimuli. In this study, we fabricated a series of polyelectrolyte hydrogels bearing a ...

For efficient and effective utilization of MXene such as biosensing or advanced applications, interfacial modification of MXene needs to be considered. To this end, we describe modification of Ti3C2Tx MXene by aryldiazonium-based ...

The occurrence of boron in low concentration is essential; however, a higher concentration of boron source in water has a toxic effect on humans as well as have retard effect on agricultural plant growth. Thus, the affordable ...

Oil and gas industry operations produce tremendous amounts of wastewater (produced water; PW). Tertiary treatment of the PW in the final treatment stage is challenging due to the presence of colloids with sizes < 500 nm ...

Reverse osmosis (RO) is an efficient water purification technique because of its high selectivity and permeability. During RO operation, rejection of solutes at the membrane surface leads to generation of a concentration ...

In this study, a stable and highly hydrophobic perfluoroctylsilane grafted Ti3C2X (PFMXene) possessing repeatable and stable photothermal behavior was applied for fabrication of liquid marble (LM) and hydrogel-based LM. ...

The performance of Pt-Ru catalysts for methanol electrooxidation has been greatly enhanced by replacing the standard carbon XC72 support with oxygen-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Highly dispersed, ...
