Development and Fabrication of Carbon Nanotube (CNT)/CuO Nanocomposite for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Gas Sensor Application
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
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, ...
Carbon dioxide adsorption based on porous materials
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2021 , Article Review)
Global warming due to the high concentration of anthropogenic CO2in the atmosphere is considered one of the world's leading challenges in the 21stcentury as it leads to severe consequences such as climate change, extreme ...
Eco-friendly highly efficient BN/rGO/TiO2 nanocomposite visible-light photocatalyst for phenol mineralization
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Boron nitride (BN) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) of different loadings were composited with commercial P25 TiO2 (Ti) through the hydrothermal method. The as-prepared nanocomposites were characterized using various ...
Synthesis and Optimization of a Highly Stable and Efficient BN/TiO2 Nanocomposite for Phenol Degradation: A Photocatalytic, Mechanistic and Environmental Impact Study
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
Different BN/TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared hydrothermally, and their ratio was optimized to get the best photocatalytic performance towards phenol degradation. They were characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ...
Multilevel Self-Healing Characteristics of Smart Polymeric Composite Coatings
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Smart polymeric composite coatings demonstrating multilevel self-healing characteristics were developed and characterized. The pH-responsive smart carriers were synthesized by loading halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) with the ...
Microbiologically-influenced corrosion of the electroless-deposited NiP-TiNi – Coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, we reveal the microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) behavior of the new electroless NiP-TiNi nanocomposite coating in simulated seawater using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique ...
Efforts at Enhancing Bifunctional Electrocatalysis and Related Events for Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Other)
Invited for this month's cover picture is the group of Prof. Dr. Kenneth I. Ozoemena at the University of the Witwatersrand and collaborators from Qatar University and Peking University. The Front Cover illustrates the ...
Electrospun highly corrosion-resistant polystyrene–nickel oxide superhydrophobic nanocomposite coating
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
A key challenge in producing superhydrophobic coatings (SHC) is to tailor the surface morphology on the micro-nanometer scale. In this work, a feasible and straightforward route was employed to manufacture polystyrene/nickel ...
A gossypol derivative as an efficient corrosion inhibitor for St2 steel in 1 M HCl + 1 M KCl: An experimental and theoretical investigation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Currently, there are several types of corrosion inhibitors were studied. The new type of corrosion inhibitor based on a gossypol derivative was first introduced. The anti-corrosion performance of 6-aminopenicillanic acid ...
Self-healing performance of smart polymeric coatings modified with tung oil and linalyl acetate
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
This work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of polymeric smart self-healing coatings. A comparison of structural, thermal, and self-healing properties of two different polymeric coatings comprising distinct ...
