Hybrid Halloysite Nanotubes as Smart Carriers for Corrosion Protection
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Novel hybrid halloysite nanotubes (HHNTs) were developed and used as smart carriers for corrosion protection of steel. For this purpose, as-received halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were loaded with a corrosion inhibitor, ...
Improved electrochemical performance of SiO2-coated Li-rich layered oxides-Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Lithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs) such as Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 are suitable cathode materials for future lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Despite some salient advantages, like low cost, ease of fabrication, high capacity, ...
Innovative countermeasures for red light running prevention at signalized intersections: A driving simulator study
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The change interval, which includes the yellow and all-red times, plays a crucial role in the safety and operation of signalized intersections. During this interval, drivers not only need to decide to stop or go but also ...
Exploring the impacts of COVID-19 on travel behavior and mode preferences
(
ElsevierLtd.
, 2020 , Article)
Various measures were recommended or imposed by the governments to control the spread of COVID-19. Travel behaviors are significantly influenced due to such measures. However, people have various travel needs ranging from ...
The simultaneous impact of EV charging and PV inverter reactive power on the hosting distribution system's performance: A case study in kuwait
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Recently, electric vehicles (EVs) have become an increasingly important topic in the field of sustainable transportation research, alongside distributed generation, reactive power compensation, charging optimization, and ...
Mussel-mimicking sulfobetaine-based copolymer with metal tunable gelation, self-healing and antibacterial capability
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
In the present study, the sulfobetaine-based copolymer bearing a dopamine functionality showed gel formation adjusted by the application of metal salts for gelation and various values of pH. Normally, the liquid-like ...
Sanitation and dewatering of human urine via membrane bioreactor and membrane distillation and its reuse for fertigation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Source separation and recovery of human urine have often been proposed as an effective way to achieve a more sustainable waste-to-resource cycle. Its high density of available macronutrients (N–P–K) in urine makes it an ...
Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO2 reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
This study presents theoretical insight into the mechanism of the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to formic acid (HCOOH) on Bi (012) surfaces in the presence of alkali metal cations (M+: Cs+, K+, and Li+) and/or halide ...
Effect of Fe/N-doped carbon nanotube (CNT) wall thickness on CO2 conversion: A DFT study
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Many researches on CO2 adsorption using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been actively studied, but experimental and theoretical studies on CO2 conversion are still in demand. In particular, the effect of CNT wall thickness ...
Rational synthesis, characterization, and application of environmentally friendly (polymer–carbon dot) hybrid composite film for fast and efficient UV-assisted Cd2+ removal from water
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Background: Carbon dots (CDs) are of particular interest in numerous applications. However, their efficiency for heavy metal removal from wastewater was not yet reported. Herein, we rationally synthesized CDs from petroleum ...
