On the nature of defect states in tungstate nanoflake arrays as promising photoanodes in solar fuel cells
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
An electrochemical method is presented to study the nature of the defect states in sub-stoichiometric tungsten oxide nanoflake photoanodes used in water splitting. First, stoichiometric/sub-stoichiometric tungstate nanoflake ...
Near infrared plasmonic sensor based on Fano resonance
(
SPIE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
We introduce a compact plasmonic resonator that is capable of generating a Fano resonance in the transmission spectrum. The Fano resonance is observed with its unique lineshape. The proposed design is simple, compact, easy ...
Influence of the heteroatom on the optoelectronic properties and transistor performance of soluble thiophene-, selenophene- and tellurophene-vinylene copolymers
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
We report the first soluble poly(3-dodecyl tellurophenylene-vinylene) polymer (P3TeV) by Stille copolymerization and compare its properties to the analogous thiophene and selenophene containing polymers. The optical band ...
Silver Nanoparticles-Decorated Titanium Oxynitride Nanotube Arrays for Enhanced Solar Fuel Generation
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
We demonstrate, for the first time, the synthesis of highly ordered titanium oxynitride nanotube arrays sensitized with Ag nanoparticles (Ag/TiON) as an attractive class of materials for visible-light-driven water splitting. ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Functionalized Silica-Nanoparticles and their Applications for the Removal of Pesticides from Aqueous Solution
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Silica nanoparticles functionalized with three different active functional groups (C-8, cyano-propyl, and methacrylate (MA)) were synthesized, characterized and applied for the removal of ten carbamate pesticides from ...
Synephrine as Antioxidant: Application in Quenching of Photo Induced Radical of Anthraquinone and Naphthoquinone
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Photosensitive molecules such as quinones in drugs may become activated by exposure to UV-A light (320-400 nm) of the solar spectrum and cause damages to biological materials such as amino acids, nucleic acids, lipids, ...
Low-Temperature CO Oxidation Over CuO-TiO2 Nanocatalysts
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Among the diverse catalytic processes, the heterogeneous catalytic CO oxidation is an important reaction for removal of small amounts of poisoning CO in fuel cell applications and environmental remediation. Therefore, there ...
Photodynamic therapy for hair removal
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Article)
Background: Unwanted hair is one of the most common medical problems affecting women of reproductive age inducing a lot of psychological stress and threatening their femininity and self-esteem. Old methods of removing ...
Properties of nanoclay PVA composites materials
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Article)
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Na-rich Montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared using solution method to create polymer-clay nanocomposite (PCN) material. The PCN material was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ...
Promising And Anomalous Structural And Electrochemical Properties Of Polyanionic Phosphates In Sodium Ion Batteries
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This work presents a recent progress on the polyanionic phosphate family that functions as cathode materials in sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Firstly, this study will cover vanadium-containing frameworks that show very ...
