Soft-shear induced phase-separated nanoparticle string-structures in polymer thin films
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)Application of shear stress has been shown to unidirectionally orient the microstructures of block copolymers and polymer blends. In the present work, we study the phase separation of a novel nanoparticle (NP)-polymer blend ... -
Solution combustion synthesis of Ni/La2O3for dry reforming of methane: Tuning the basicity via alkali and alkaline earth metal oxide promoters
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2021 , Article)The production of syngas via dry reforming of methane (DRM) has drawn tremendous research interest, ascribed to its remarkable economic and environmental impacts. Herein, we report the synthesis of K, Na, Cs, Li, and ... -
Suspensions of carbon nanofibers in organic medium: Rheo-electrical properties
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2015 , Article)The nonaqueous suspensions of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) in 1 M lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonaimide) in propylene carbonate electrolyte reveal unique structural evolution and shear-induced transition due to the high ... -
Synthesis and performance evaluation of nanostructured NaFexCr1-X(SO4)2 cathode materials in sodium ion batteries (SIBs)
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2018 , Article)This research work focuses on the synthesis and performance evaluation of NaFexCr1-X(SO4)2 (X = 0, 0.8 and 1.0) cathode materials in sodium ion batteries (SIBs). The novel materials having a primary particle size of around ... -
Synthesis of uniform ordered mesoporous TiO 2 microspheres with controllable phase junctions for efficient solar water splitting
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2019 , Article)As a benchmark photocatalyst, commercial P25-TiO 2 has been widely used for various photocatalytic applications. However, the low surface area and poorly porous structure greatly limit its performance. Herein, uniform ... -
Systematic laboratory approach to produce Mg-rich carbonates at low temperature
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2021 , Article)Dolomite is a common Mg-rich carbonate in the geological record, but the mechanism of its formation remains unclear. At low temperature, the incorporation of magnesium ions into the carbonate minerals necessary to form ... -
Tailoring the reducibility and catalytic activity of CuO nanoparticles for low temperature CO oxidation
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2018 , Article)Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles have received considerable interest as active and inexpensive catalysts for various gas–solid reactions. The CuO reducibility and surface reactivity are of crucial importance for the high ... -
Template synthesis of metal tungsten nanowire bundles with high field electron emission performance
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)One-dimensional (1D) metal nanowires are of great importance for nanodevices due to their distinctive optical, electronic and mechanical properties. Here, for the first time, we report a simple H2 reduction-assisted ... -
The solvatochromic, spectral, and geometrical properties of nifenazone: A DFT/TD-DFT and experimental study
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2014 , Article)The solvatochromic, spectral, and geometrical properties of nifenazone (NIF), a pyrazole-nicotinamide drug, were experimentally and computationally investigated in several neat solvents and in hydro-organic binary systems ... -
The use of principle component analysis and MALDI-TOF MS for the differentiation of mineral forming: Virgibacillus and Bacillus species isolated from sabkhas
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2020 , Article)Occurrence of mineral forming and other bacteria in mats is well demonstrated. However, their high diversity shown by ribotyping has not been explained, although it could explain the diversity of formed minerals. Common ... -
TiO2 nanotubes with ultrathin walls for enhanced water splitting
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2015 , Article)We demonstrate, for the first time, the synthesis of titania nanotubes with ultrathin (3–5 nm) wall thickness. As revealed by the incident photon-to-current collection efficiency (IPCE) and electrochemical impedance ... -
